I can't say enough great things about this place! At first glance, the salon is super cute, very bright and inviting! Anyone who greets you will make you feel welcome. I have had my nails done by Mercedes and Tommy, both fantastic nail artists! If you bring them a design they will bring it to life. This is my third hard gel set from Buff N File and I will be coming here for the foreseeable future. Come here! You won't regret it! read more

I was able to do a walk-in and I got seated within a few minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful. Their space is large. They have a room where they do lashes, brows, and I believe mini facials. They have a nice restroom. They have a mini and main room where there are multiple seats for mani/pedis. They're all massage chairs as well. I asked for a french tip pedicure and I wanted it red but my lady did white so she had to do double the work unfortunately. She cut too deep into my cuticles and for some reason also trimmed some of my skin? I now have a little scar running across my toe. My toe nails were also cut too deep and there was some minimal bleeding. The massage was good though, I fell asleep for a bit. I got charged $70 for that. I think it would've been worth if it was done without causing bleeding/deep trimming and the color was right the first time. I also hope that everything is sanitized afterwards because all tools are pulled from a cart and stuff like the filers and all look used. read more

I used to frequent this place, but after a few back-to-back mediocre visits, I stopped coming. Nails aren't cheap anymore, and a "just okay" experience doesn't really justify the price point. I decided to give it another shot while I was in the area... and it immediately reminded me why I stopped. The whole appointment felt rushed from start to finish. There was a subtle sense of judgment when I tried to communicate what I wanted, and overall the service just wasn't warm or welcoming. Maybe I'm particular, but consistency matters. Especially when you're getting the same service repeatedly. Basic finishing steps were skipped, like properly filing the sides after curing to clean up excess gel and prevent lifting. Small details, but they make a big difference and signal the level of care being put in. The salon itself is cute and well-kept, but the experience just doesn't match the aesthetic. Overall, it lands firmly in the "mediocre" category and at this price point, that's a tough sell. read more

I was a loyal client of Mercedes at Buff N File from 2018 to 2024, and after my last experience, I will never return. I was originally recommended to Mercedes by my best friend, who is basically like family to her, which made me trust this salon even more. I booked my appointment three months in advance for my wedding reception nails because my wedding week was packed with back-to-back South Asian wedding events. These were not regular nails. They were my wedding nails, and I trusted Mercedes because I had gone to her for six years. When I arrived, Mercedes seemed cold and uninterested. I asked for a simple deep French square set. Once she started shaping, I noticed after just one pinky nail that the shape was becoming too tapered and skinny instead of square. Since these were my wedding nails, I calmly pointed it out. Instead of simply adjusting the nail, Mercedes told me that was what I asked for, stepped back, and said she could not do my nails that day. She offered to pass me to another nail tech, but I kept asking her to please continue because I had specifically booked with her months in advance for such an important occasion. She repeatedly refused. I was already overwhelmed from wedding week and had a henna appointment immediately after that was going to take several hours. I ended up crying in the salon for almost the entire appointment while another nail tech finished my nails. Mercedes went on a cigarette break and then continued with her next client right beside me like nothing happened. There was no apology, no compassion, and no accountability. What hurt even more is that I had known Mercedes for years and had conversations with her about her family, her daughter, and her grandkids. I know she would do anything to protect her own daughter or grandchild if they were treated poorly. So I could not believe she was treating me this way in front of my own sweet mother during one of the most important weeks of my life. My mother was also there getting services, and this was especially upsetting because I had brought her back despite a previous pedicure experience where her heels were cut so badly that she was in pain, nearly infected, and had to seek medical attention. For us to return after that and still be treated this way was unacceptable. Despite all of this, I was still charged full price. If this had been any other day, I would have walked out with my mom, but it was Christmas Eve during my wedding week and we were desperate to get our nails done before the next event. After six years of loyalty and a personal recommendation from someone close to Mercedes, this experience was hurtful, unprofessional, and unacceptable. I have since found another nail tech who does better work, works faster, and treats clients with respect. I would not recommend Buff N File or Mercedes to anyone looking for professionalism, empathy, or reliable service for an important occasion. read more

I have been going to buff n file for a full sets and pedicures in the past and on valentines weekend, they were doing a promo where I was able to get a gift certificate for an express head spa with the purchase of my nails. For $55, I think it is such a steal! Its around an hour long with cleansing of the scalp face, and a bit of a massage too! It was just the bit of calm I needed for my week. The room is very peaceful with the spa track playing, very opposite of the other bustling side of the spa with everyone getting their nails done. read more

I did not insist on filing my own nails. Your tech got up and walked away, I had no choice but to finish the job myself. After waiting 40 minutes to be serviced, I was not waiting another 30 minutes for another tech to finish my nails. Unfinished job equals unfinished pay. You can pay my medical bills for the three blisters that were left on my feet. read more

The quickest I have EVER had my nails done. I'm used to waiting for 2 hours for a full set, Tina got it done in 40 minutes, and not only was she quick, my nails are flawless. A little bit high on the price range but you definitely pay for the service you receive. Amazing. read more

Thank you for reaching out. I booked 2 pedis for 10:00, we were there before our appointment time was told to pick out colors the spas were prepped we were sat. 1 tech came up started working with my mom, and when my mom was almost done with her appointment and my nail tech didn't show up for 25 minutes, I cancelled everything. I didn't schedule the appointments at the same time to watch my mom get her nails done and have some half hearted mumbled apology from the tech working with my mom. This isn't even the first time. I won't be back. Thanks for the offer, but for the price the repeated bad service at this point is unacceptable. read more

Had a dip manicure. Happy with results. Was in town for a cheer camp for my daughter.

TERRIBLE gel manicure! If you want to feel like an unwanted customer and get lackluster service, go here. It was obvious that she didn't want to be there, and couldn't care less about the quality of her work. So dissatisfied! My friend's pedicure was just as bad. We were rushed through in like 25 mins. Nail edges were rough, polish not to edges on all nails. Will NEVER go there again! read more

To begin, my nail tach was it very nice. She overcharged me for my set as well as was rude when I asked her to do a SECOND coat of nail polish. She also did not smooth them out correctly the first time. This was a waste of money and time. Some of these techs are horrible and not very friendly!! I HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF ANY NAIL SALON AT THIS LOCATION. Attached is what I wanted in a coffin shape but the pink colors. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU COME HERE. read more

I wrote below about the bad pedicure, but they allowed me to come back the following day to get it fixed with a new tech. Their customer service is great, and I believe they do want everyone happy with their nails. The second pedicure was MUCH better. She cleaned up the polish on the edges, cleaned up the nails, shaped them better, and did an even coat of polish. Something that should have been done the first time, but happy its fixed! I'll be back to try a manicure. read more

If you want the best quality nails with a family feel environment come to CJ at Buff N File! I've been wearing acrylic nails since i started working as a teller during college and in all my years of getting my nails done every two-three weeks I have never met such a talented nail tech. I was blessed to run into CJ by chance a couple of years ago and by now he is like family. April of this year unfortunately i had to move to Downtown Chicago for work and I did the mistake of letting someone else touch my nails and it was the most disappointing experience which cost me $130.00 for some oddly shaped basic color nails. Ever since I fly back home to Arizona at least once a month to visit my family which includes CJ. One day hopefully I'm rich and famous and I can hire CJ as my personal nail tech lol we can dream right. read more

I am new to Arizona and I had been hesitant on finding a place right near campus where I could go for a nice set of acrylics. But I found this place online and decided to give it a try. I was greeted immediately and all the employees there are super friendly. It was a welcoming environment, you can tell. When I first walked in, the place was busy but that is definitely a sign of a good salon. My appointment was 1:30 and I came early and they helped me as soon as they were available, which was around 1:00. My stylist was very kind, a great conversationalist and I am just so upset with myself for not getting her name. She was efficient, she designed my nails perfectly and I am so pleased with her service. One of the reasons why I absolutely enjoyed the salon is that they do a rewards card where if you pay cash or are an ASU STUDENT a certain amount of times, you can get $15 off your sixth session/appointment. P.S. I am an ASU student and I definitely recommend going to this salon for the rewards program and because of how close it is to campus. I am definitely coming back to this salon and this salon only. read more

I came in on Aug 28th for a mani/pedi. The Mani was done by Tommy. Hasn't lasted even 2 weeks. I've always received the exact same services... but I've been charged 3 different prices. $120, $145 and then this last time $90... I spoke with Mercedes about this because I always get a dip mani and a gel pedi... I don't get designs etc. Before this Salon I was getting dip and the dip would last me several weeks... I'm not sure why at this salon the dip never lasts me more than a couple of weeks. It either peels completely up, breaks, or this last time... crumbles. read more

I had to Post another 5 star review because this place is so accommodating. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They all smile and say hello. They're patient and make sure they got it right. David did my powder dip nails today, and he's my go to person. The aesthetic of the salon is very cute. The pink and grays give it a modern and classy look. I highly recommend this place. Check it out. You won't be disappointed. Oh and they have a rewards system where you get a stamp every time you pay with cash and then eventually get 15 dollars off your next service. read more

I'm so upset. I decided to treat myself to a manicure after having been home 24/7 for the last 11 weeks with my new baby. I asked for the same length and shape of the white nails, and had to leave with the dark nails shown. Yes I asked for the dark color, but everything else is terrible, and honestly the pictures make my nails seem not so bad. I would've asked for them to be redone by someone else except I had my baby with me who needed to be fed and put down for a nap so I didn't have another two hours for them to take the nails off and redo them. I used to come to this place regularly but the nail techs have gone way down in quality in the last two years. I won't be back, and I urge you not to either. read more

Buff N File Spa - Gel manicure done by tech, Amanda - Eyelash Service Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

My friend and I needed a last minute walk-in appointment to get our nails done for a wedding later that day and decided to come here because they had good reviews on Yelp and they were in a reasonable driving distance from my apartment. The location is very nice inside and super clean. The chairs that you sit in while you get your nails done are super comfy and stylish. They have endless colors to select from and everything has a matching gel color. I love that they use cute colored wash cloths for the sink rather than disposable paper towels. I love the environmentally friendly aspect of this. The guy that did my nails (sorry I never did catch your name) was super funny, he was very careful about doing my nails, and he did a wonderful job! I had broken my thumb nail a few days prior and it had gone into my nail bed and was really sore and he was so careful with my finger. He consistently checked in to make sure I was doing ok and that he wasn't causing me any pain. He was meticulous about making sure there was no polish overpaint specks on my cuticles. After, he did a quick hand and forearm massage with some very nicely scented OPI lotion. The store was getting busy but I never once felt like he was rushing. It was a very nice experience and I would definitely come back here again. read more

Bought my boyfriend a gift certificate for a pedicure and ended up going with him and one of our friends for pedicures. We called in the morning to see if they had availability for the afternoon and they were able to get us all in together. It's a nice salon. They had tons of colors to choose from. The staff was super friendly and were joking around with us, which was fun. I would come back again. read more

Visiting from Los Angeles, just got a Gel manicure and regular deluxe pedicure. I had Trish for manicure and David for pedicure. Overall the service was 4 stars. First time getting a Gel mani. Both manicure and pedicure were done simultaneously. My appointment was at 2:30 and I was done by 3:05. They're quick! In terms of quality: the pedicure was nice because even though it was a deluxe pedicure it include a massage and brief hot stones. David was great with the massage. Pedicure looks good too. No complaints. For the gel manicure, there were some mistakes and maybe it was because it was being done at the pedicure chair and not on a table. From afar, the manicure looks fine. But if you look closely, it's not very neatly applied. I wouldn't say it is sloppy, but I also wouldn't say it is meticulously applied. The top coat bubbled on three fingers but Trish noticed it and fixed it (thank you!) But even with that, the gel manicure experience I got today was probably worth $20-25. I'm used to my manicurists going slow because they're really meticulous about a very clean, even, and polished look. But this experience was not so much focused on polished and even. View my photos and videos to see why. read more

I've been here twice, both times for a pedicure and I really like this shop. The environment is so relaxing the staff is super friendly, the decor is beautiful and most importantly they do a really good job. I always walk right in and get acknowledged immediately. I pick my color and go to my pedicure bowl where the staff brings me a bottle of water and makes sure the water temperature is to my liking. The chairs are very comfortable and relaxing. I always opt for the express pedicure because to be honest when I go it's not for a leg massage but to get my toes looking acceptable. You get pretty much the same treatment as a regular pedicure just minus the massage and I'm totally cool with that. The price is awesome too compared to other local shops. I like the shop, they do a good job, the staff is friendly, price is right, there's a lot of nearby parking, and there's plenty of space and employees for multiple customers. This will definitely be my new home for routine pedicures. read more

I had Sam and he was super nice at first, but right away I noticed it was uneven and he said to trust the process and then at the end it was totally crooked and I got over charged for French tips. I called a couple days later because the nails were bothering me so much and they said they would fix free of charge. When I went in they made me talk to the same guys who was convinced they were straight and then tried to just file them (which would make it look worse) but refused to fix the nails. One hand was done well but there's a clear difference and not being willing to fix it is a problem. read more
