Gel!

Love this place! Claudia is so lovely and great at nails! She was nice enough to see me today without an appointment. Love the result. I will def keep coming back!

The woman that did my mani and pedi did a great job! The salon is what you see and expect at pretty much any nail salon. The massage chair worked great, tools appeared properly sanitized etc, etc, and the prices were . Claudia was there and was very sweet and friendly. I like to support establishments like this. I'll be back.

These chips started within just a few hours and I DONT work with my hands. They kept getting caught in my hair and snaggy on my clothes.

Ive given this place a few chances because they're located close to me and I like to support locals. The owner has been incredibly rude multiple times though without provocation. I gave her a chance as well even after she was nasty with me over the phone recently. I just had my nails done there and tipped VERY WELL like I always do even though they werent particularly nice, professional, or good. I simply got one shellac color on both hands and toes. They started peeling and catching in my hair within hours. I called immediately and the phone just kept rigning and ringing for minutes without an answering machine. I tried several times but had to get back to work. I tried again in two days and just let the phone ring for 4 whole minutes until the owner finally picked up. I wasnt angry or rude because I had no reason to be. I figured theyd just fix the small issue and be done with it but she was very rude, kept talking over me, and asked why i didnt call sooner (even though it was still just a couple days since). I told her i had and she talked over me explaining. I even offered over the phone AND in person to show her the records on my phone which would not only show day and time but also how long i was on the phone for. She refused both times to look even though she brought it up both times. I simply wanted them fixed and even offered to get a higher priced service if she thought that would be better and avoid this happening again. I hoped she would give maybe a 5% discount or SOMETHING to get more money as well as fix the simple problem. She just continued to roll her eyes at me, say she's "been doing this a long time and never had this happen or any problems ever with nails" (not possible even at high end salons). This is also odd to me because its actually a very common problem. She was so arrogant but the shop is a dump. Its never clean, theres never anyone there, and they have things for sale in the front that are also dirty like random jeans and homemade lotions (but not in a creative or even semi professional way. ex; they have various used bottles with ripped (not even cut) masking tape and hand written (not even neatly) "labels"). The labels literally just have "lotion" written on them. Its unsanitary. The first time I went there, the heater didnt work and they had me washing my hands in freezing water on a day that it was also freezing outside and didnt even seem to be concerned, apologize, give reason, or anything. My teeth were chattering the whole time as they rolled their eyes at me and wore huge coats. As I said before, I wanted to give this place a chance and they had good reviews so I assumed all these red flags were just one offs or bad days. The owner had me come back today though, on HER time, had me take off work, and was so rude I had to just leave- complete waste of time and money. I cant believe I tipped so well the two times I went...thinking maybe they'd at least be a little nicer. Nope! Im genuinely baffled by the good reviews. I can only assume they are friends and family. Funny though! As Im typing and seeing the reviews to my right, I see other people saying the exact same thing happened with their gel manicures and the owner being rude. I thought you "never had an issue EVER" Claudia?? Do you just not pay attention to your customers or reviews? Maybe you ladies are only nice to hispanic women because yall ALL have pretended to barely or not speak Spanish at all. I wasn't going to bring this up but after seeing Im not the only one - it may be safe to assume you're a bit racist against many of your clients. I said I didn't speak Spanish but whole family is fluent (because even though I may look ambiguous- I AM Mexican) and I do understand a bit. And I caught a few derogative things your techs said. If you cant be a good person, at least pretend to be a good business. Be fair, do what's right, and take pride in what you do. There's no need to be so nasty to kind strangers who are trying to support your business.

$25 gel manicures; $2.50 per nail designs!

I love Claudia's! I wasn't impressed last time I went but I think because I got a regular manicure and it chipped soon. That always happens with me though so I somehow thought someone else doing it would fix that. I'm addicted to gel now so it doesn't matter! Their prices are great! $25 (I think) for a regular mani/pedi Monday through Thursday, $25 gel mani, and 2 for $5 nail designs! Designs are usually $5 a nail at other places! Plus they always listen to how you want your nails done or if you don't want filing, cuticle cutting, whatever. Aleida is the best for this I think. My only gripe is they don't have a website or prices posted on Yelp or anywhere. I still walk out with attention to detail, no crazy hack job on my cuticles, and a flower design on a gel mani for $37 (I left a $7 tip)! I'm so impressed now by how much you get for your money here, will definitely be returning!

Loved my multi color nails.
Bridget B.

Hidden gem! I'm extremely pleased with the service and the quality of manicure. The price is the best I've seen in the city and everyone was so friendly and attentive. Brenda paid a lot of attention to detail.

Beautiful shellac manicure done by Claudia

Five stars with no hesitation! I stumbled upon Claudia's while in Austin on business. I was desperately in need of a gel manicure, as the one I'd had eight days before from a different salon, in another state, was literally peeling off my nails. Claudia was able to get me in as a walk-in and was as gracious, friendly, and thorough as if I were a long-standing client. I have never had such a perfect manicure or pedicure. There was no pressurized upselling, and not a speck of dry skin or out of place polish anywhere to be seen! IMMACULATE. I was lucky enough to get the Monday special pricing of 45$ for mani/pedi together, but could easily have paid much more and felt like I got my money's worth.

Came in as getting my gel mani has been on my TO-DO list for a few days now and I was nearby during traffic hour. I rather get shit done than sit in traffic for hours! It is an unsuspecting locale, but Brenda my manicurist was kind, quiet, cordial and did an impeccable job on my nails! This is coming from a gal who has her "nail spots" in different parts of town that are acceptable/good aka finding a consistently good nail place actually doesn't come easy! I've now added this spot to my list of places in ATX. Definitely coming back again. PS not a huge selection of gel colors which is perhaps why this is "four stars".... still, there is variety enough!

I always enjoy my mani and pedi here. Claudia and Brenda are great. Clean and efficient. Here is a photo 6 days after gel manicure. Other salon's gel manicure came off in 6 days. Make sure to ask for Claudia or Brenda for services.

Wonderful refill at a great price of only $25!
Jamie Justine B.

This nail salon is so affordable and does a good job. I will definitely be going back!

I got my nails done here because I recently moved and they were alright it was a reasonable price cheaper than most nail salons which is why I went there in the first place but they are very bad quality I have only had my acrylic nails for a little over a week and they are coming off already I've had nails elsewhere that have last a month or more I wouldn't recommend for acrylics maybe for a regular mani or pedi

Cause some dudes just want pretty toes!
Chuck G.

What a great local find!! Claudia's wonderful and so are her staff! Dropped in for a pedi on Saturday afternoon and had no problem getting in. Great service and even better prices! Bring some wine or a cocktail with you if you like - not all the fluff of the big places, but again her prices are excellent! Her place was very clean and everyone was so friendly! I will be back :)

Deanna D.

Great job, every time. I've had many pedicures, shellac nails, always perfect and delightful service.

had a really great experience w adore nail lounge! went in for a builder gel refill & really happy…read morewith the shape and apex of my nails. i didn't get the name of the nail tech but she was a bit older, and she did absolutely amazing with the design. i love how close the shade match is (compared to my natural nail) for the nude base color she chose, since that was something that was important to me. love the stars she free handed and the gems she arranged. total was $100 excluding tip which i think is great value. also want to mention that we came in at 6:30, and the nail tech stayed past their closing time to finish the design and do it really meticulously if half stars are possible, i might give 4.5 because i also booked a lash lift and when i got there, they told me their lash tech is on vacation for a month. i was just visiting the area so idk if this is common or something, but i'm used to the service always being available if it's able to be booked online/confirmed via text following an online booking (which both services were), so was a little bit disappointed by that.

I returned to the salon today for a regular mani/pedi. My techs name was Ken. Ken wasn't too…read morefriendly, I wasn't asked if I wanted water etc.. My service felt rushed. He was a little rough to the touch as times with my pedi. The pulling and moving my feet & toes quickly and/ or forcing them down from time to time was uncomfortable. I didn't say anything but looked at him. The manicure wasn't done completely. He massaged my forearm but missed my hands. I asked if he was going to massage my hands, he looked at me and said yes, but no massage to my hand was performed. I looked around at other customers and their hands were massaged a little after their forearm. Their tech had them wash their hands afterwards. Ken had me wash my hands right after my forearm. He polished my nails and said thank you. He placed a fan in front of my hands but didn't say how long I needed to stay in front of the fan. Normally im told 2 mins etc...I touched my nails after 3 mins and turned off the fan. When I checked out I did let the lady know it wasn't a good experience for me this time. She inquired, I told her Ken didn't ask me if I wanted any water etc..as I watch other customer receive sodas & waters. The lady replied, oh really he normally does. I replied he didn't. I said I didn't appreciate all the pulling / tugging as well as him placing the fan in front of me and not saying how long I needed to dry my nails. The receptionist excuse for Ken's behavior was he doesn't speak English which I thought was bananas. I still have a small tip, but asked that he not be assigned to me again. She agreed in doing so. I thought about my experience on my way home. A mani/ pedi is not cheap. If I can't enjoy it and relax I'd rather not return nor refer any more friends to their shop. I'm disappointed. R. Chambers

This was my first time going to Buff. It came highly recommended from a friend. The owner Alex has…read morea very relaxed vibe, as does the space. The environment is made for relaxation: plants, natural light, art, and a Spotify playlist curated by Alex. I particularly liked the fact that he only has one client at a time and he is the only provider in his space. (I particularly appreciate this given that we are still in a pandemic.) That made for a detailed and focused experience. In addition to providing an excellent relaxing pedicure, he can recommend products or regimens that are helpful in maintaining your nails, hands, and feet. He even lets you take a buffer with you for use at home. You can also come back with it the next time and have it used again for your services. I love this option to reduce waste. When you go to Alex it is a true experience. My pedicure cost $110 (before tip). That included the usual soak in a foot bath, as well as an extremely detailed clipping, buffing, and checking of cuticles. This was followed with a sugar and oil scrub, and then a foot and calf massage, with polish applied at the end. I highly recommend Buff, and I'm looking forward to my next appointment, which I have already booked.
