About Us

Valerie

Meet Valerie (Boody) Ireland, founder of Polished! Licensed since 2005, she was inspired to do nails by her mentor and trainer, Maryellen Tanner-Vincent. She was employed at local salons and spas until she had her first child, a boy, in 2013, at which point she took a break from nails to raise her children during the day. She spent that time working in the restaurant industry, for PUBLIC eat+drink in North Adams and District Kitchen & Bar in Pittsfield.

A few years after the birth of her second child, a girl, she decided that it was time to return to her passion and open Polished. She is thrilled to be back in the nail industry! When she is not at work she enjoys spending time with her talented and hard-working husband, John, who designed Polished, and their two children. She enjoys baking, and you can always catch her on the dance floor!

“I was trained well, and I take my work seriously. I look forward to new and old clients in my chair, so that they can fall in love with their nails. It’s something I have missed doing! When clients come to me after having been absent for 7 years and ask me to do their nails again, it feels so good that they remember me and my talent.”

Schedule:

Tuesday’s through Saturdays. Always reach out if there is a time you cannot find that works for you, I am happy to assist you!
