OUR TEAM
Who will be coming to my home or office?
We're very careful about the service providers we select to join the Reserved + Polished family. We interview all of our professionals in person and make sure they are degreed, licensed, and up-to-date on their liability insurance coverage. This is in addition to the background checks done by us and practiced by states during licensing. We look for the service providers who have the highest level of integrity and professionalism. In return, we expect all clients to reciprocate the same level of respect and conduct.
Can I reserve time directly with a nail and/or massage therapist instead of through Reserved + Polished?
Reserved + Polished works hard to build a stress-free booking experience for you to enjoy our amazing and much needed wellness + beauty treatments. We function because of the honor system that we have in place. If you enjoy our services, we hope that you will do your part in keeping our system intact.
