I don't go to nail salons often, but I've been to some not-so-nice ones so I was nervous to go to a place I found online instead of by recommendation. I made an appointment ahead of time and walking in, I was greeted right away and shown where to choose my nail polish color. The nail tech came by and introduced herself and helped me find a great color (I was looking for a low key, work friendly neutral). Her name was Pamela and she was so sweet and friendly, and took great care with everything. She was also really gentle compared to some other manicurists I've been to. My nails look absolutely wonderful, and I was really happy I found this place because I might treat myself to a manicure a little more often! I highly recommend Buffed Nails! read more

This place was fantastic. It is beautifully decorated with lots of space. It was the most thorough and relaxing pedicure I have had in a long time. read more

The worst mani pedi I've ever had. The constant up-selling was infuriating, even down to $10 for a tiny block of salt in your foot bath or $5 extra for your hands. I had booked the mani pedi to be done together but they had taken in 2 walk in clients so after an hour I had to walk out with only one hand done and my feet finished to an unacceptable level. I have been to high end salons and more low level speedy establishments but have never had such bad service or dreadful skills. read more

Rachel did an amazing job on my no chip manicure its been over 3 weeks and theyre still flawless not a chip in sight im sure if it wasnt for the grow out and wanting a new color this manicure could last over a month if not longer read more

This was my first time at Buffed Nail Spa and walking in I was impressed by the cleanliness and beauty of the place. It is very nice. Pedi services were ok. Painted toes do not look fabulous but they'll do. No chip mani I'm not happy with at all. I had services done on the 26th and by the 28th it looks like I've had it on for over a week. The manicure itself was very basic - basically just paid for the polish to be applied. Services were cheaper than what I typically pay at top salons but you get what you pay for. It's a very nice atmosphere and the staff was very nice, just very disappointed in the end result. read more

Dont mistake this place as your average walk-in nail salon, the inside looks and feels like a spa! It's relaxing environment with comfortable chairs, complimentary beverages, and AMAZING staff will make you feel like you're getting a steal for what you pay for. The lady I had who did my pedicure took her time, the nail color and gel color selection is enormous, and the staff is extremely warm and welcoming. It is such a breath of fresh air to have such an elegant and relaxing place in Plainfield to get your nails done, with a staff who is inviting and friendly, and all the stations are clean. We will definitely be coming back here as this was such a wonderful experience. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to "get away" and relax without paying the high spa fees. read more

Buffed Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

See all

We were going to be in the Plainfield area and found Buffed Nail Spa on the internet. We decided to stop in and do a mani-pedi . WOW! what a good decision that was. The staff was professional and kind, the place was immaculate and the atmosphere was warm and relaxing. It was an experience! One that was thoroughly enjoyable. The prices were in line with other salons as well. It is definitely worth the 45 minute drive to get there, so we'll be making this our regular nail salon. read more

I arrived 10 minutes before my 11:00 appointment but was not even greeted until 11:30. The salon is very beautiful and very clean. Their polish choices are pretty limited unless you want gel/no-chip. The woman did my acrylic nails in 20 minutes. This might be great for people in a hurry, but I prefer people take more time with my nails. The polish job is okay, we will see how long it lasts. The woman thanked me repeatedly for waiting as long as I did. Not sure I want to give them another shot, however. read more

By far this is the best nail salon that I have ever gone to....and I have gone to many! The service is excellent and my nails (no chip) always look fabulous (Thank you Trang). The salon is extremely clean and the staff very friendly and courteous. Love the fact that I can make an appointment and 9 times out of 10 they are on schedule or just a few minutes behind.

I was turned away earlier today for a pedicure since they were closing in an hour. I would have been okay with that, but for the fact that they accommodated two women--also without appointments--who walked in right ahead of me. I won't say it was a racial issue--they were white and I am not. It was not professional or appropriate. This was my second disappointing visit with them and I have no plans to return. So glad I was able to get a pedicure--a great one!--at Le's Nails down the street. Response 4.25.16: You have missed the point: You made a customer feel unwelcome --for whatever reason (ObvIously, I don't share your perspective). And let's be clear: Your first words were we're NOT going to be able to take you. You did not offer any other options until I pointed out how unprofessional you were and that I had never experienced that at a nail salon prior to encountering you. Your response here simply reinforces my decision to take my money and patronage elsewhere. Shame on you. read more

Every time I go here for a mani/pedi if I don't have an appointment, they turn me down! It's happened quite a few times! Very disappointed. Will not go back again. read more

A great experience here with a wonderful staff and beautiful salon. We had a big wedding shower party here with 8 people and they were so nice and helpful. Great mani/ pedis. You'll pay a little more but it's totally worth it. Make an appointment for sure. The whole team and salon is exceptional. Get ready to be pampered! read more

Positive: This nail salon is clean. It's pretty easy to schedule an appointment or just walk in. Some people who work there are nice. Negative: They never introduce themselves so you only find out who is doing your nails after it's done. They rarely talk to you, they just point trying to show what they want you to do. Very impersonal! I called the salon and scheduled an appointment for a pedicure at 7pm. I came 5-7 minutes before my scheduled time. At about 7 I was finally sitting with my feet in the water waiting for somebody to come and start my pedicure. Nobody came up to me and told me I would have to wait. I was just left there. At 7:23 a woman (Mary) finally approached me. She wasn't friendly, she did not explain or apologize for letting me wait. She only asked what I was getting. During my pedicure she was very annoyed that I couldn't hold my feet up high enough for her. She kept saying: "Up! Up!" like she was training a dog. Isn't it her job to support a person's foot while working on it? The whole "classic pedicure" experience lasted exactly 29 minutes. And this is not the first time I had a "classic pedicure" that lasted only half an hour. And it is supposed to be about 45 minutes. read more

I've been coming here for several years and have just recently had a bad experience that will keep me from returning. I had a scheduled appointment but had to wait over 30min for a mani/pedi, the tech made me bleed and rushed the service with out a massage and my nails began to chip after a few days. read more

This is my second time going to Buffed Nail Spa. At a friend's advice, I had a pedicure done by Vivian. She is a delightful young woman and did a fantastic job. The Spa is immaculate and there is not a hint of chemical smell in the air. I conversed with the owner after the pedicure and it is obvious that he believes in exceptional customer service. I will surely be back! read more

I've been looking for a nail salon since I moved here a year ago. First of all, it is beautifully decorated and peaceful! It is clean, sanitary and the people are friendly. I started to write my review while I was sitting in the pedicure chair and was only going to give 3 stars because the nail color choices are sub-par. I came to get a no chip mani and a pedicure...it. was almost impossible to find colors that matched and I ended up with colors that were close (how irritating)!. I would think since they are on the higher end of the price scale they would at least invest in higher quality nail color...or have more no chip/regular matches. I was quietly fuming about my mismatched nail color when the most awesome thing happened. The lady who was doing my pedicure said I didn't look relaxed and asked what was wrong....I told her about my disappointment with the nail color..and she went and got the owner! The owner took the time to listen to my concerns and explained how and why she picked the brands she chose...then she told me that she would begin to order more matching colors! Wow! Finally a nail salon that blends customers' experience & products to create customer loyalty! Priceless! read more

This nail salon is beautiful as in the pictures. I had a pedicure done... The girl did not know what she was doing. I asked her to cut my nails and they were just as long as when I got there. The polishing job was not all over my nail and chipped in the first day. I would not go to this salon. My friend was with and she got gel nails done. They fell off after one week. Save yourself the frustration and go to a different salon. read more

I went here with my friend to get my nails done before prom. I was pointed to the nail polish picked one out and sat down by the nail tech. I got a no chip manicure but it ended up being absolutely miserable. While he was "grooming" my nails he cut my finger all the way on the side of my nail. He had already had out an alcohol solution so was he planning on cutting my nail the entire time?! Then he puts it on a cotton ball and that stung so bad. Then when he went to the other hand HE CUT ANOTHER FINGER!!! Then he took the used bloody cotton ball out of his little trash bag and reused it. That is absolutely disgusting and unsanitary. After I was done he had a client waiting but he took his key and left to go get his morning coffee instead of helping a customer. I refuse to go to this place again being it is super unsanitary and the nail tech I had was just rude. I do NOT recommend this place to any one unless you want a botched manicure. read more

Thanks, great job. On time for my daughters and I. They were thorough , well done no chip for me and pedicures for my girls. Tech was pleasant and talked through out the manicure. read more

Knowing the owner of this place I would've assumed I would get treated nicely which I can't complain I did. I walked in trying to get a pedi and medi. This place is for sure overly priced and from experience don't think it's worth my money anymore. While getting my pedi the lady cut my toe nails too short and I was not satisfied. When I got my medi she was rushing into it and I doubt she was focusing on doing her job. Nails came out crooked and not right. Broke one of the nails first day once I walked out. While getting them done she made me bleed where it wasn't even comfortable for her to even finish. Now it hasn't even been a week and all my nails fell off. Place is clean and beautiful but when it comes to getting nails done it sucks. Not satisfied. read more

Best nail salon! Trang is the owner and she is fantastic. She is super friendly and makes sure her clients are well taken care of..

Clean and new, but expensive. No discount for mani/pedi combo. Have made appointments on 3 occasions and have had to wait 15-25 min each time. Took others who came in after me. Excuses. Feel rushed when there. Last manicure, was cut on two fingers. Manicurist was not focused on job. Talking with friend. Will not be back. read more

I really like this place! Friendly, consistent, and clean. My nails looked great and ready for a wedding. I'll definitely be back!

A very clean place. Lillie did a great job. The owner very nice. This is an exceptional place with great service. Did not smell any chemicals at all. I am a very picky person and a hard rater. The stars I provided is very genuine. read more

It has been a long time since I found a good nail salon in my area. The shop itself is beautiful. The staff were all very friendly and my nails looked fabulous and the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back regularly and would definately recommend them to others. it!!! read more

I got a no chip manicure about a week ago and it still looks new. Every other nail salon I have been to my nails start to peel in days. I have to wash my hands at work often and they still look awesome! Great job! Will be my go to spot from now on :) read more

I've never truly gone to a nail salon and consistently gone back. There has always been something to make me not want to come back. But this nail salon has given me every reason to come back! The services are phenomenal, the employees are all sincerely friendly and make you feel welcome which is hard to find at a nail salon! Buffed nail spa is the best of the best, if you're in the need of a consistent nail spa this is the place to go! My nails have never looked better! read more

I have visited Buffed Nail Salon several times while in town from DC, and I have never been disappointed! The staff is friendly and professional, the salon is bright and clean, and the manicures and pedicures are always fantastic. I wish they had a salon in DC! read more

Very very disappointed. Was not my first time there. I love how they do my nails so I decided to have my entire bridal party and myself get our nails done their yesterday. Appointment wasn't until 5:30pm the moms got there early around 5 and they insisted they needed to start them right then because they didn't have enough people working. When I arrived at 5:30 everyone was already seated and being serviced. I asked why they stared without me (the bride) they just said the appointment was made for 5:00. Which is obviously a lie, I confirmed earlier that week and that day. As the night goes on I wanted all the bridesmaids nails to match blush pink. One lady pushed my younger sister to do a French tip because "it looked better" my younger sister not knowing she was supposed to get pink allowed her to do it even though my sister had brought the pink nail polish over to her. The next bridesmaid sits down and same thing pushes her to do a French tip. This bridesmaid knowing better said no that's not what the bride wants. My sister shows me her nails and I'm confused as to why she has a French tip when I specifically said I wanted blush pink so I asked them to change it. The lady rolled her eyes and started talking bad about me right In front of me. Then the owner who is doing my moms nails calls me "bridezilla" LOL very professional!! So they changed my sisters nails and then charged her an additional fee to paint them pink. Might I add I had to return again today because my Rhinestones fell off within not even 24 hours. Let's just say I won't be returning great job buffed nails!!! read more

The salon itself was very nice, new, and clean. It was nice to be able to walk in and not have harsh fumes hit you in the face, but that probably won't last too much longer as this is a new salon. So I called the day before I went to find out prices and I asked how much a gel extension full set would be and they said $40, but $32 with the special 20% off they have going on right now. So I booked an appointment and was very excited to get my nails done. I went in the next day and when I came in my technician asked me if I wanted a color and I said yes so she pointed me to the left side of the salon that had gel nail polish. Being that this was my first time getting gel nails I figured you had to get a gel polish and I didn't think anything else of it. An hour and about 40 minutes later I was done and was very happy. I went to the register and the lady said my total was $48 and I couldn't believe it! Apparently I chose a gel no chip polish rather than regular polish adding $20 to my bill. They did not tell me this beforehand or offer me regular polish. I was very very mad. Upon further investigation after leaving the salon, I have noticed that every single nail between my two hands is a different size! My nails look ridiculous! I will definitely not be going back there. If you go there, and do not want gel no chip polish, make sure you go to the right side of the salon where they keep regular polishes. read more

I work very close (within walking distance) to this salon and saw it open and was excited to try it out. I went over when they still had their 20% off grand opening deal to get a regular manicure during my lunch break. The place is GORGEOUS! It is so clean and big. I've never seen a nail salon that looks like this. Just the ambience alone is so wonderful. They play nice music, offer you water etc. Great Essie nail color selection. Anyways, I had the technician, Nancy, and she spent so much care with my nails, my regular manicure was a little over 30 minutes long. My manicure lasted a WEEK without chipping! I was thrilled! I do rock climb so I had to hold off while I wanted my manicure to last (great way of getting your nails to chip) but other than that it stayed. I went back a litle over a week later to get them done by Nancy again for a wedding. I'll be going back today and love her and this salon. Competitive/fair pricing, service is totally worth it! I will definitely need to try a pedicure here soon. Just need a little longer than a 30 min lunch break for that... read more

Had an appointment with my regular nail salon but something came up and was unable to keep the appointment. A friend was here getting a pedicure and called me. While on the phone with her at my request she asked how much for a pink/white fill. She was told $40. Was able to get an appointment right away so went in. When I got there a lady looked at my nails and I told her I wanted a fill-both pink & white. She sent over a young man who began filing the gel off my nails. He got up and came back with a bowl of acetone. Have been getting my nails done for over 20 years so I know what acetone is used for. I told him I did not want a soak off and he said oh no this is just to thin them out. Over an hour later I was done. When I paid the total was $55; with the 20% off came to $44. I didn't look at my receipt until I was out the door. I was charged for a full set plus a soak off. In all my years getting my nails done I have never been charged for a soak off - how do you get a new set without soaking off the old. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. Guess that's what I get for "cheating on my regular salon". Plus after only 3 days, the gel is beginning to pull away from my nail. The spa is very clean, but their business practices left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Will never go back nor will I recommend it. read more

First service was for a pedi. Chairs & salon are nice and clean but she cut my toe with the file and I'm not sure why, but about 4 days after I left, I had cracks in my skin. Second service was a gel fill and no chip polish. I told the tech that I was sensitive to the file and asked that he be gentle. He was NOT. He was trying to rush, filed too deep into the nail bed and he cut my skin when he lost control of the tool. These problems are not uncommon, as many nail techs rush and file too hard, but the reason I'm only giving one star is because I chose my color from a color wheel, the polish I wanted wasn't on the shelf, so I figured it was at another techs station. He told me he'd find it. Most of the salon is dim with very bright lights at each station. I couldn't see the true color until I was outside. The color I chose was one I've used many times and frankly I didn't pay too much attention. So, when I got outside, I realized he tricked me and didn't use the color I requested!! If he couldn't find the color I wanted, he could've just told me and I'd pick something else, but he deliberately gave me a different color! I had a nail break after 3 days and in only 5 days, my nails look very "grown out" like I need another fill. This place was expensive too. I won't go back! read more
