Save your money. If I could give zero stars I would. I don't think my tech was certified. Place was dirty. Her long acrylic nails made it extremely difficult to remove my polish. She could not use the rectangular buffer due to her nails. She seemed unsure how to give a basic manicure. She was nice but I overpaid for a sad manicure. read more

Hands down, best dip manicure I have ever had! Technician asked if I was in a hurry, which I responded no. Appreciated the ask. An hour and a half later with such attention to detail, this was hands down the best dip manicure I have ever had. Not thick and so natural looking! read more

Walked into get services 45 minutes after opening and was informed they could not see me until the afternoon. Wish they would promote they're by appointment only. read more

Clean,good polish excellent,thourough,great employees! Ruby and Vivi are very kind. We love it there!

I went and got my nails and toes done, both gel and I am in loveeee! This is my second time there since I moved to Waco recently and they are the best. The work is very clean and each artist I've had has paid attention to detail and gave me justttt what I wanted. Today I just got white on my toes and Jelly gel on my natural nails for work and it is so clean. They also play movies while getting your nails/feet done and it's very clean, relaxing, and welcoming. They have snack and everything! My mom got her toes done as well and she said it's the best pedicure she's had. She got the $60 pedicure and got her hands and feet paraffin dipped and her hands and feet look and feel amazing. Long story short if you are considering going, GOOO! Needless to say we are in love with their work read more

Long long story short. Do NOT go here!!! I've been 2 times and both times I have had to go get my nails redone the next day because they were done so horribly. The first time I went for acrylic nail removal and a manicure, I sat for 30 minutes with my hands in acetone until they finally awkwardly told me they didn't have anyone to do a manicure for at least an hour. Then they charged me $15 and nobody even touched my nails except to put them in a bowl. I left with powder stuck to my hands and nails and had to take the tips off my nails myself. THEN I went back, I thought "it can't be that bad everytime they might've been understaffed that day" right? NO! I went back for a classic polish manicure and ended up sitting there for 1 hour and 48 minutes. The best part is, the polish job was so bad I went to a different salon the next day to get them fixed and the man asked if I tried to do them myself. Good joke! read more

This place is AMAZING! Visiting from out of town and needed nails done for an event. Not sure how to spell her name but Dean (I think!) was such a delight and did such an amazing job on my nails. I have never been to a nail salon with such care and cleanliness as this place. Too bad I'm not from Waco... otherwise I'd be here every 2 weeks! read more

The place was nice but when I got my manicure the girl I had was talking way more then working and when I asked her if she didn't mind focusing more on my nails because they weren't coming out like I wanted she just has this nasty attitude. I won't be back, if she does not want to work, Go Home! read more

I had made an appointment earlier in the day since I was in a rush and they said they had put me down for the time today. I came by and they didn't have me down and proceeded to tell me that I had to wait 20-30 minutes after I showed them that I called earlier in the day. I understand that of course there are people in front of me, but I made an appointment to avoid the wait since I was low on time and they were the ones who didn't put me down. read more

I was given a tech that was going too thin on my nails. My nails were hurting 2 days after getting them done. They could have been better when cleaning them on the outside. Painting was good. I have never had to experience this before until I went here!! The girl at the first bar was just starring at me the whole 3 1/2 hours while getting a mani and pedi. While having someone in front of her doing their nails. I complained but that didn't do anything. I have been one time a long time ago and she is the reason I didn't go back for a while the constant staring and over talking she was barely focusing on the nails in her hand!! It's Ridiculous. Good riddance won't be back!!! read more

It took a total of 35 minutes for them to complete my spa shellac - mani! In and out!

So my nails started graying at the tips, which I have never had happen to me. I called to see if they could fix the nails and after explaining the situation, they told me to come in for them to take a look. I was basically told that it was my fault because the graying was due to reading the newspaper or reading a textbook, neither of which I had done. They used acetone and some of it rubbed off, but the discoloration was still visible so they reluctantly offered to redo the nails. They tried to assign me to the same nail tech who did my manicure the first time, which I very much objected to (refer to my original review). The new tech, Justin, was infinitely better in terms of the overall quality and attention to detail. My nails look pretty much flawless, and I would almost consider coming here again solely from this positive experience with him. The reason that I'm not changing the amount of stars though is because the nail tech next to me sneezed into both of her hands and then proceeded to touch products and work on the customer's hands. read more

This review is strictly based off pricing. I have gotten white gel on my toes for years now. Never have I ever paid $80 for just a gel pedicure before. The signature pedicure was good but not $80 worth ($48, +20 for gel, and 20% tip). It is my fault for not looking at pricing before going but I really thought i was gonna get more bang for my buck for an $80 pedi. read more

BU-tiful Nails - white gel signature pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Waco, Texas

0/5. I spent $280, including gift certificates. A recipient attempted to use a gift certificate and was denied unless she provided a SCREEN SHOT of my credit card bill with the transaction. THEN was asked the credit card number. I am glad I did not pay with cash as it would not be honored. I will NEVER patronize this establishment in the future. I spoke with the owner, Tiffany, who stated she did not have a record of the certificate and/or the issuing employee is no longer there. While unfortunate, poor business practices are not the responsibility of a patron. As many parents gift services to students, one would think they would be honored without jumping through aggravating hoops. It is unacceptable to place this onus on a client. As far as nails, I had a dip set, which began chipping after a week. This has never happened in my years of receiving dip nails. I didn't think it could, frankly, without aggressive/harsh treatment. As a professional, I do not work with my hands other than typing. So, not only is the business run incredibly poorly but the service is not worth the time, effort, or resources. SKIP this place and look elsewhere. read more

I HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS PLACE TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS. I RAVE ABOUT THIS PLACE. I LOVE THIS PLACE. AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU, that if you're looking for a place that does dip, tips, gel, etc. then this is your place. I have been going to this nail salon EXCLUSIVELY for almost a year and a half. Not sure about the other reviews but I love this place and I LOVE TIna, Sarah is witty and sassy as is Jeff, Julie is extra sweet. I always love having small, fun conversations with the employees. Tina's the only one that I ever get my nails done with but I've recommended this place to many of my friends and they've loved all the other people that have done their nails, Sarah in particular. I always call ahead for an appointment although there usually is not a wait if you avoid the weekends. I call ahead because I always get tips put on and dipping powder which takes about an hour. Tina lets me be picky, AND HONEY IM PICKYY when it comes to length or correcting any unevenness. She's always going to ask you how they look and be HONEST with her cause she'll fix it if you don't like it. I've also broken so many tips within a week of having my nails done, which is a tragedy and makes me a mess, and all I have to do is walk in and in about 5 minutes they're fixed. I've had some really strange requests and this salon is ALWAYS ACCOMMODATING. I've come in and gotten longgg stilettos and come in 3 days later to have them cute down to be functional. I LOVE that the staff knows that I'm typically a longgg nail type of girl and whenever I go short we all make jokes that I'm someone else or that there's something wrong. The atmosphere is light-hearted and you can tell it's a fun environment to be in. So let me say this, I rarely update reviews. But I feel the need to say that if you are scrolling down and read reviews and come across 2 reviews that seems they're in cohort with each other, their reviews are not indicative of how this nail salon functions. read more

The final result was great, they did do a good job. I just wish I understood what the young man was saying and trying to sell me. I smiled and nodded my head, as I didn't want to ask him to repeat for the 4th time. I also wish that staff didn't make it obvious that they are talking about clients in their native language. Place is clean, and comfortable, pricey since I nodded to services I probably didn't need. Again, what matters is that my toes look good. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. They do a fine job but the customer service is just not good. I got my nails done and a few days later they broke off. I paid like $70 so of course I went back in and they charged me to get them fixed. Ridiculous. You can't keep customers with business like this, no wonder they are never busy. read more

The service was absolutely awful. The man who was running the salon was rude and inattentive towards the customers walking in. He kept promising them that they could start on their nails soon and was not upfront about the actual time. He rushed my nails and they turned out less than ideal. I was very clear that I wanted him to keep my nails long, yet he proceeded to file them down. The price was ridiculous granted the salon is not as nice as others. It cost $45 to just get a dip polish change ($30 at my regular place in Scottsdale). Would not recommend. read more

BU-tiful Nails - Several cuts around my nails, white spot on thumb, and the polish was done over my cuticle onto my skin. - Nail Salons Near Me - Waco, Texas

I Love BU-tiful nails. I always make DIP appointments with Tina. Appointments are super easy to make and it ensures you don't have to wait.. I'm so sad that I graduated because Tina does everything exactly how I like! Finding a new nail tech is going to be rough. She is so patient with me even if I'm being very picky and indecisive. This place will be missed. Here's a GORGEOUS ombré she did for my nails when I went to Vegas and also for graduation. My all time favorite she's ever done! She's a great manager and will take the time to deal with any problems anyone may have! I do recommend calling to make an appointment; it takes like 2 minutes. read more

The store manager is incredibly kind; she obviously knows what she's doing with managing a business. The remainder of the remainder of the employees... Could be a hit or a miss. The store is well kept and cleanly. My problem comes with the service provided on both occasions I've been here, especially with the price they charge you. I've gotten manicures on both occasions, and neither of them. I actually visited this location on Thursday to give them another shot. The paint is already chipping off in clumps, and I've never had this issue anywhere else. Really disappointed read more

I have gotten my nails done by Jeff, Julie, & Thai as well! I'm a regular here when I'm in Waco. I'm pretty particular and picky with my nails. Everyone has been very nice and hospitable when I have been there. It's been about 2 years or so since I've been coming here and have a been thoroughly accommodated every single time. If I ever do chip or break a nail, they're super sweet about fixing them in a timely manner! read more

I've been going to this salon consistently for the past year & a half, and received dip manicures from Sarah, Jeff, Tina, and Julie. Jeff is great and super comfortable to chat with! And Tina is my fave, as she will let me be as picky as I want. All of these techs have been respectful, personable, and gentle with my nails. Plus there's a good selection of dip powders to choose from. read more

That was NOT a $50 pedicure. My tech didn't even shave my heels while the tech next to me did on a lower grade pedicure than mine. My tech also did not put a toe separator and now there is polish on the skin of the adjacent toes. The tech seemed exceptionally uninterested in doing a good job. A shame really, as this place is very convenient for me in terms of location. Maybe I'll try it again, but ask for a different tech. UPDATE: 4 hours after I left this salon my polish was STILL NOT DRY and this is the result: read more

I went in to get one nail repaired, I called in advance to see if they had the time, and when I got there I was told 30 minutes or come back tomorrow. When I finally got seated the man doing my nail grabbed the wrong color and refused to listen to me when I told him it wasn't correct. After he put the color on and saw it didn't match the rest of my nails he used his finger to wipe off the mistake. The gel didn't set right after he did that and the polish wrinkled. I typically come here for manis/pedis but I won't be back after this experience. read more

BU-tiful Nails - Repaired nail - Nail Salons Near Me - Waco, Texas

This is honestly the worst pedicure I've ever had. My friends and I were in the area so we decided to stop in. One of my friends got a manicure that her person finished in 9 minutes because she was rushing and wanted to get to another customer. I got a pedicure where he didn't do anything to my nails, did a terrible paint job, and then didn't even put on a top coat! I realized this a few hours later when the polish looked dull and already started to chip. Such a waste of money and time. read more

Save your money! I don't think I've ever had such a poor pedicure! I had the one guy that worked there and he was obviously NOT happy about being there. Then in the middle of the pedi he went and had a cigarette- reeked of smoke! NOT an enjoyable experience! read more

Don't come here. Not a single employee wear masks, even in a pandemic! They charged me $15 for JUST painting my nails without the manicure, which is ridiculous overpriced. My friend called in asking for the price and they told her it was $40, but was charged $55 instead when finished with her dip. They are racist and moved others (who had their appointment at 4:30) in front of me and my party when we had an appointment at 3:30. While having our nails done, we were told to, quote, "move to that seat" while they went to attend to the party that had an appointment a hour after us. Small note but they ask you the same questions over and over again. I also feel like I should note my boyfriend is Vietnamese and could understand what they were saying the entire time while he was waiting with us. He said this entire incident wasn't anything unfamiliar to him and wasn't shocked by their behavior at all. read more

I walked in the other day and the moment I walked in the door the woman at the front looked at me in a condescending manner and said, "can I help you." I told her that I would like to get a pedicure. (she was fumbling with the TV and she never stop doing that to give her full attention to a paying customer) She then said to me "it's going to be a 30-minute wait." (like she was trying to discourage me from hanging around. She did appear at all to want my business so I left. This was my first and last visit.

I went here today for a mani/pedi because I graduate on Saturday. From the moment i sat down, the girl doing my nails was rushing and was very aggressive. She stabbed my foot so bad that I thought I was going to start bleeding. And it just felt like everything was being done quickly, without care. Then when we moved to do my fingers, again I felt rushed. I got a gel manicure but she didn't carry the gel down far on my bed and it looks like they've been done a week. She didn't even ask if i was satisfied. I am so frustrated. When I went to pay, I had calculated the cost in my head. She charged me more than it should have been--I think she tipped herself based on what the price difference was. I do not feel like I got what I paid for and I will not go back. read more

Went around noon and it wasn't busy at all. Got seated immediately and they started on me as soon as they could. You can tell from the interior that they're still getting settled in but it's a pretty setup. The guy I had did a pretty good job on my nails, I just got a regular acrylic square tip. They were a little shorter than I would've liked but I'll just have to pay more attention to where they're cutting next time. Overall, pretty satisfied. Will probably go back! read more

I usually really like getting my nails done at BU, but this last time I was really unhappy with my experience. 1) my nails started chipping badly after just a couple days after I got them done and 2) one of their dogs POOPED on the ground of the salon. Very off-putting. There's just no way that isn't against some health code violation. read more

I needed to get a pedicure while I was visiting my daughter who attends Baylor. Pros: I didn't have to wait. The location is close to Baylor. Cons: the entire staff looks less than thrilled to be there. I have never had a pedicure where only one coat of polish was applied. 80% of the paraffin wax was left at the bottom of the bag (by my heal not touching my feet). I would not recommend this location unless you're in a hurry. read more
