    Cut my thumb with the sanding drill
    Cassie B.

    I should've known something was up when we came from another salon who had no walk in availability because they were so busy and came here and it was empty. But i desperately needed a manicure after 5 weeks. I'm not sure if it was because she was rushing because it was getting past closed or what; but I have never been cut when getting a manicure! I went in for an SNS manicure and when she was sanding down the dip before putting on the final coat she sanded the skin on my fingers. And not just once or twice, i understand it can happen as a mistake. But she did it multiple times, I said ow and she made no apparent effort to not continue doing it. My finger ended up bleeding which she also neglected to notice. Then when she was packing up the head she cut me with and other tools she used on my bleeding finger went back into the drill head case. Super unsanitary! At this point I was in pain on multiple fingers, bleeding on one that she never even attempted to clean off, and just fed up with the whole thing and wanted to leave. My pedicure was fine but my bf's pedicure was not much better. He said that his tech used the emory board more on his skin than on the nail. It also seemed rushed as she finished his entire pedicure before mine even got to my polish. Iwould not recommend going here. It looks nice but the quality of work is spotty. It may just be the people we had but i won't be coming back. There are better places across the street.

    Wow. All I can say is "WOW!". I have been a regular(plus good tipper) at this salon for about 10 years and today I have finally decided to never go back. I got my nails done here about 12 days ago and this past weekend 2 nails chipped so today I go in and get them fixed. I had an ALL black color on my nails but the two they fixed had black with a glitter mix and unfortunately I didn't notice til I got home just now. But this isn't it.... THEY CHARGED ME $8 for 2 little chips.... which I don't mind paying but WOW! They have never ever charged me to fix a nail or two. PLUS, Last time I had my nails done an employee working there had told me and my sister that getting our nails fixed no matter how long it had been wouldn't be a problem..... Also.... just look at how bad the touch ups look. the nail tech didn't even bother to file the nail back into shape nor clean up the sides......

    My natural nails after over a MONTH. Sns is deff the best option for my nails. Never imagined they could EVER be this long.

    The only salon I go to for my nails. I've been going here for about 2 years now and after a ton of trials at a whole bunch of salons from Cobb county to Milton, I can truly say I am done. Alpha Nail is consistent, accommodating, and all around the best nail salon I've been to. This salon is the reason why my nails actually look presentable! Prior to getting a regular sns mani, my nails were brittle and ALWAYS broke. If you have this issue and gel polish peels off quickly (story of my life), then I highly suggest you give sns (dip powder) a try. It has literally change the way my nails look! The staff is super friendly and the salon has a rewards program! The program regularly texts me promotions and coupons for different holidays and such. They do wonderful with pedicures too!! I've had my eyebrows waxed a couple of times as well and have never had any complains. Notes: 1. Not sure why yelp lists it at $$$ because the prices really don't differ much from other salons I've been too. 2. They have an extensive selection for both gel polish and sns. 3. They do get busy and I can't say if calling ahead is actually helpful but I have never seen them turn anyone away. In fact, I've seen the staff be super honest about when they will be able to get to people and give accurate times to come back (if that's what you want to do). 4. They are open on Sundays. However, my favorite sns guy is off that day. 5. Unlike other salons, the staff here really do care and remember their clients so don't be alarmed if they remember convos you don't. 6. Do the rewards program. Trust me. Do it.

    Left, the French dip Right how long my nails were.

    Went in to get my NATURAL nails trimmed and re-dipped. She slaughtered my nails. They are so short I have no nail left . It took me 6 months to grow out my nails and I am very unhappy. The managers response, "oh it'll grow back! We can put a tip on next time." It's not about putting a tip on it was the long time effort in growing out my nails to only have them cut. To show I'm not exaggerating I will attach the after they cut followed by what they looked like. I said I like my nails long before she cut them, and it was too late. Not wanting to walk out with uneven I just sat, upset, and guiding her from that point forward.

    If I could, I would give zero stars. The worst mani experience of my life. I came in to get my gel nails removed a mani. First of all, she filed my skin multiple times and clipped my skin as she was clipping my nails. The acetone was so painful cause she clipped and filed my skin. Second, I picked a color and I guess it wasnt coming out well so she told me to pick another color and that color wasnt going on well for her so she goes in the back and picks a color of her own?! Like really???? The picture of my nails will show the end result. I went home immediately and removed the polish. Please, find another nail shop, I dont want anyone wasting their money like I did'

    Thank you for fixing it! My clumsiness doesn't have to effect my nail beauty because of y'all

    My daughter and I got our nails done at Alpha Nail Spa. We weren't happy with the work they did very poor quality. I wouldn't recommend it.

    This Buford Location is next-door to the Navy Federal Credit Union…read more They are open early on Saturdays - 8:30 AM which is perfect for me. The ladies in there are professional, gentle, and know what they're doing. Yes, it is pricey, but like I said, they know what they are doing. The service is consistent with all the other EU Wax locations around the country that I visited.

    Deciding to put my review here as the email I sent to guest services was replied with a link to…read moresend via their website which has yet to have a reply: My appointment was scheduled for 8.2 at 11:45 a.m., and I arrived around 11:30 a.m. I checked in with the receptionist and let her know I understood I was early, so I would wait outside directly in front of the store. When I came back inside at 11:44 a.m., I was informed that the wax specialist was running about 15 minutes behind. I asked if another specialist was available and was told that the other employee had called out, leaving only one wax specialist working that day. This information should have been communicated before my appointment or, at the very least, when I checked in early so I could have decided whether to wait or reschedule. Instead, I waited over 20 minutes before asking for another update. The receptionist apologized and said she wasn't sure what was happening. I explained that I could wait another five minutes, but then I would have to leave to pick up my daughter. A few minutes later, she told me she didn't expect the specialist to be available anytime soon as she had t even heard paper from the wax room that was being used and apologized again. She also offered to have the manager place a $20 credit on my account (didn't happen). I appreciate the receptionist's kindness and the thought of that gesture, as the delay was not her fault. However, the situation could have been handled much better. Everyone's time is valuable, and with my busy schedule, I intentionally arrived early out of consideration for both your staff and my appointment. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated experience. A couple of months ago, when I checked in, the reception area smelled strongly of marijuana. I had continued coming to this location because of the professionalism of my previous wax specialist, but she has since left to another location. Against my better judgment, I returned, and this experience has reinforced my concerns. I hope you will take this feedback seriously. Delays happen, but communication, professionalism, and respect for clients' time are what define a positive customer experience. I encourage you to evaluate the standards and customer service at this location so it better reflects your brand.
