Founder & Nail Technician
Ashley Ringer
Hi!
I have lived in Billings since 2005 and graduated from Montana State University Billings in 2008.
My journey in the beauty industry began at the Nail Institute, where I graduated in 2013.
Two years later, in 2015, I opened my first traditional open concept salon.
I realized this set up was challenging for my personal goal of putting family first so I redesigned goals and transitioned Polished into the salon suite concept so myself and others can easily be in business for ourselves and balance home life to work life to our discretion while designing our own studios as individuals.
As both a salon owner and an online fitness coach, I am dedicated to helping other women feel confident inside and out. I am passionate about supporting women in business, providing mentorship, and creating opportunities for growth.
Beyond work, I am a devoted mother, focused on teaching my son emotional strength and awareness. The mission is to lead by example—balancing business, wellness with family first while inspiring others to pursue their dreams with confidence.

Nail Technician
Valencia Medina-Cabrera
Hello, my Name is Valencia!
I graduated from Montana Beauty Institute in 2021 as a Nail Tech offering acrylics, builder gel, and custom press ons!
From there, I started my own Nail business called Art Into Beauty. I have had a passion for art ever since I was little. Doing nails gives me a way to express my passion for art on the little canvases of my clients, thus turning a form of my art into my clients beauty.
Your confidence, nail health and overall experience is my upmost concern.
When I’m not running my business taking nail clients I am still working! I work at The Buckle as a stylist and have been there for 4 years. When I’m not working my life away I am at home being a dog mom my two mini doxies, Rocky and Peanut.
I also enjoy going to the gym, being outside, and spending quality time with loved ones.
To contact me or book an appointment contact me with a call at 406-561-1112.
I prefer to have 1:1 conversations when booking your appointment.
This makes our experience together more personable and ensures I can achieve your wants and needs prior to your appointment!

Nail Technician
Amanda Hunt
Hi, I’m Amanda, a passionate nail technician with nearly two decades of experience in the beauty industry!
Since starting my career in 2006, I’ve embraced every change and innovation in the field, constantly evolving to provide the best for my clients.
I specialize in acrylic nails, structured manicures, and luxurious spa pedicures, always striving for precision and perfection. In 2024, I expanded my expertise by becoming NSTPA certified in spray tanning, adding that perfect glow to my clients’ skin.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working as both a booth renter and a salon owner, and now I’ve found that operating a private suite offers the ideal balance of personal space and exceptional service for both my clients and myself.
Outside of work, my husband and I are proud parents to two daughters who keep us busy with their love for volleyball. You’ll often find us in gyms, cheering them on through every match, and celebrating their dedication to the game.
