Polish /ˈpɒlɪʃ/
It’s not only about “clean nails” or “the perfect color.” It’s more, it’s about the overall experience.
Thoughtful nail care, guided by expertise
At Polish Nail Bar, nail care is approached with intention, expertise and care. We believe beautiful nails start with listening, understanding and working thoughtfully, never rushed and never one size fits all.
Every client is different, and so is every set of nails. That’s why we take the time to guide you, advise you and match you with the right stylist for your needs.
Expertise at every level
At Polish Nail Bar, we work with three levels of nail technicians: Junior, Experienced and Master. Each level reflects training, experience and focus, while all stylists work according to the same high standards of quality, nail health and care.
This structure allows you to choose with confidence, knowing that every treatment is performed thoughtfully and within each stylist’s expertise.
A Note From the Founder
""I opened Polish Nail Bar in Amsterdam in October 2018 with a simple belief, nail care can be more thoughtful, more personal, and held to a higher standard. A place where quality comes first, and where clients are genuinely listened to.
At Polish, we work with our own products and formulas, developed with care and intention through daily salon experience. By listening closely to our clients and our team, I continue to improve what we use, creating products that support healthy nails and long lasting results. Everything in our salon is chosen with purpose, always with safety, performance and comfort in mind.
What makes Polish special is that it is built together. Our nail artists work closely with clients, not only to create beautiful nails, but to understand preferences, routines and the details that make each set feel right. Some clients come to unwind, others to talk, and many for both.
I’m deeply grateful for the support of my husband, whose trust and expertise have helped Polish grow behind the scenes while staying true to its values.
Polish is a place we are proud of. A calm, welcoming space to slow down, recharge, and leave feeling truly taken care of. ""
With love"
