My first visit, I received a gel manicure. I was a little skeptical at first because of the poor reviews, but this place did not disappoint. It is a very big, clean facility with average service quality. I am happy with my manicure, and would go back for another gel service. The Acrylic prices however seemed a little overpriced compared to other salons I've been too. Prices on Menu Gel Manicure - $30 Acrylic Full Set $35 Acrylic Full Set with White Tips - $45 read more

I never complain and this is the second time that my nails look horrible and actually embarrassing looking. I asked for a fill and a french gel manicure. It was crooked on a few of my fingers of each hand with bumps of the clear gel painted on instead of smoothed out. When I pulled my hands back to look at them I let the girl know and she said it was too late to fix them because the gel cured. The biggest waste of $60 dollars. Also, a week later yesterday I need a fill because they are catching on things already, she did not push back my cuticles or put lotion on after. So one week later I'm getting them fixed at a nail salon where they take pride in what they do. read more

I went to go get my nails done and also my eyebrows. Now the pedicure there is great. I also normally like when they do my nails. Pick up today I paid $120 and it was the worst service I have ever gotten there. I got my eyebrows done and it looks like they're not even done. I also asked for simple hearts on my two fingers. I could have done my nails at my house at this level. Just disappointing that I will now have to pay to get my eyebrows fixed and to also get my nails fixed. I do think the people that work there are really nice and have good communication. Like I said their pedicures are great, but I would not go there to get my eyebrows done in the future and I will never return to get my nails done. I would also like to add that I did not speak up due to the fact that I do not like to complain. Their job is hard enough. With that being said, they should be able to do their job to the full extent if they are certified. read more

This nail shop should change their nand from fancy nails to wack nails they charge an arm and a leg for their service and they do a terrible job I went for a pedicure and the lady said 55 for gel I said fine and she was rushing the job didn't buff my nails so when she put the polish on it was bumping I wouldn't recomm this place to anyone. You know the local humble nail Shops always do a better job. I don't know if it's because it an Amherst they think their fancy but let me not bust their bubble but they really suck I wouldn't give them not one star read more

wasnt terrible but very unsanitary i went in for a pedicure and she used a already used file on my nails,buffed off my old nail polish with a used buffer, she also used the foot scrubber that already had other peoples old foot dust on it, then rinsed it off in my water my feet were in and put it back in her cart. she also never changed her gloves after helping another customer put her shoes on and throwing away her stuff that her feet were soaking in. super unsanitary i was it could give zero stars. the service it's self wasn't bad, my toes look okay. read more

Horrible the lady was very rude, and the dip was horrible my nails have big dips in them. Do not recommend at all

Literally the worst pedicure. This place was so busy and I'm not sure why because everything was awful. Very rushed, limited choice of colors (and what they had was old almost empty and filled with tacky polish), not friendly at all, no choices on services so you just get what they give you, your nails are cut crooked and not filed, polish looks worse than a 5 year old, they don't scrub your feet to make them smooth ( which mine are not bad to begin with), they go back and forth from one customer to another, not much as far as sanitation of tools, not a thank you have a nice day when you pay and btw they charge 3% of you want to use a credit card to pay. read more

Since my nail is so short, it's hard to polish it, but I always come here to get my manicure done and it stays on for around 2 weeks. The girl who takes care of me is so nice, and I like to come back here once a month. read more

Will start by saying they get two stars only because I had originally came in and asked for a soak off and plain manicure but changed my mind last minute when I noticed how poor or a job she was doing. First she tried sliding an acrylic nail tip between the gelx and my natural nail, and ripped away at my nail corners with a cuticle clipper. After slipping multiple times and almost jamming the acrylic tip under my cuticle I suggested she soak them off like normal. Almost an hour later there was still product on my nails so I told her I just wanted to keep my nails plain (cause honestly who wants nail polish over poorly done nails). I was charged 30 dollars.... Before tip. For this. Never coming back. read more

Fancy Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I wasn't expecting much after reading the reviews but still seemed to be disappointed. The place was busy and I went in so I had to wait about 15 min for a pedicure. Once the girl started working on me, she literally took 15 minutes for everything. I feel like I got an express pedicure or something. It was awful. Then she didn't even file my nails so one was crooked. I had to ask her afterward to fix it because it was snagged. Really bad and not worth the $30. read more

Had to give one but should be No stars! Went back only because it's close to home. The male working here is an extremely slow worker and shouldn't be touching anyone's nails. He paints like a 6 year old. Missing spots on the nails but getting polish on the skin. Forgot to put base coat on 4 of my toes. The person I came with had her pedicure and manicure done in the time he was finished with one of my feet. He also has no idea how to make change when you pay. See photo of bad paint job. read more

Fancy Nails - Big toe awful paint job - Nail Salons Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I have been going there on and off for years. Off, mostly because I moved and it wasn't convenient. I get the On Sen pedi and it is worth every penny. I like it here bc it's usually quiet and rarely a wait. Everyone is friendly but not invasive were you feel you have to make conversation. It's perfect for some quiet self care. I always tip well so they know I'm not being rude and bc it's so good. read more

I've had my eyebrows waxed here twice. Each time, wax was dripped on my eye lashes causing them to get stuck together. Also, they were not even and when I left I had to touch them up myself with tweezers. I'm not sure if it was the same girl, but I tried to give them the benefit of a bad wax after the first time. My first manicure, the nail tech was on her phone the whole time. They don't do a hand scrub or a massage or use lotion at the end. The gel also chipped in less than a week. I tried to go and get my nails just shaped, cleaned and buffed. I wanted a manicure without the polish. There was still dirt in my nails and they weren't buffed, and didn't look much better for the $8. read more

I have never felt so uncomfortable getting a service before. I went in for the first time after grocery shopping at Wegmans. There are two nail places in the same plaza. This one was more convenient and very nice inside. I had received a gel manicure that was definitely rushed. The lotion and massage at the end was just drop on my hands for me to run in. They didn't have me wash my hands after filing or buffing. They didn't file after the polish. The after product looked nice and the price was affordable - $20 for gel and $30 for gel manicure. My nails all started to chip that weekend. I called to come in again to have it fixed. They said they would fix it at no charge. I had a design on my nails so some would have it and others wouldn't so would have to be charged the full amount when i was originally told free. They agreed to redo them, and filed off the colors including the skin around it. The color looks great but I will have to file them and get al the clear coat that it al over my hands. I ignored all of those things and kept saying thank you for getting me in after work. She wouldn't respond to anything that I said. Then said people chip their own nails to get free manicure and ware their time. She was disrespectful and treated my like a child. People have bad days and don't always do their best work...all those things can be forgiven but the worst customer service that i have ever seen. Why did I go back ? Why did I stay? I work 80 hours a week and It not a task that I can complete well on my own, and have an event to go to. Will never go back! read more

I've gone here twice for acrylic fills. The 1st visit the customer service was not very good. But everyone can have an off day. The nails looked nice and stayed on. I got a different person the 2nd time and she was not friendly at all, either. She made my nails flat although I asked for rounded. Since she said she couldn't understand me, I even asked the customer next to me to show her her nails and she still made them flat. The nails stayed on, and once I filed them a little they looked the way I wanted. The shop was pretty and seemed clean. She sat me at the dryer and never told me I was finished. So after 20 min I just left. It wasn't a busy day. read more

Went there several times but will no longer. The quality is mediocre at best. I made an appointment yesterday with a person who seemed to me better than others only to find out that she is not available today when I showed up for my appointment. Would NOT recommend this place. read more

Quiet relaxing place that always takes you at appointment time. This place is professional and always does a good job

Perfect place to go if you like being scolded like a child. Owner was screaming at me because I misspoke and said acrylic instead of gel polish. Screaming read more

I love fancy nails!! I have been coming here for over 8 years! My style has changed over the years and as I changed, my nails did too!! Ivy & sue have always accommodated me! read more

First and LAST time I will give this place my business. I should have listened to the little voice in my head after the rudeness while making my appointment over the phone. I felt VERY uncomfortable and unwelcome. My pedicure/manicure were very rushed - like she couldn't wait to get me out the door. Spoke perfect English when she wanted to get when I tried to engage her in conversation I got a grunt. Handed her a cash tip. She put it in her pocket and walked away. Not even a thank you. I'll definitely take my business elsewhere next time. read more

I have been going to this place because it is close by for about 10 years. Last summer I noticed there was a sign that they don't accept tips on ccds. Pain in the butt. No to mention, unfair to the workers. I used to do nails and own a salon and that is the cost of doing business. You can add into your pricing. SO I always had to go to Wegmans to get cash and pay for atm in order to tip every time I went there, but then it got worse. The last time I went, they added an ATM machine so you could pay them to get tip money for the girls. But, last week I lost it. I used the machine and paid 2.50 to get a 20.00 bill, to tip the girl 5.00 while I was waiting for my daughter to get her nails done. The full set was 28.00. They told me I could not pay by credit card, there was a 30.00 minimum to use cc. she pointed to a paper which was a paper sign taped onto the top of the desk along, with a taped menu. I know from owning a salon, that NYS requires your pricing to be visible to everyone in the salon. Since I only had a 20 and a credit card on me, I had to pay another 2.50 on the atm to pay the 28.00 and tip the girl. She said I should have read the menu. But I didn't know if my daughter was going to get nail art, or what...so how would I know what the total is ahead of time? I was so upset. The 30.00 minimum is ILLEGAL and I knew it, and I told them. The manager proceeded to argue with me. I handed the girl her 5.00 tip and left. The federal Law is 10.00 minimum and I attached the law to their pics. I hope this is up a long time before they see it because they do not have a facebook page or a website. Probably too cheap. Most of their services are under 28.00. They are forcing you to spend more in order to use a cc which is illegal and they are doing it because they are hiding money from their sales tax. Period. And, two tips broke the first week. Makes me want to open a shop in the same block and show them how you are supposed to treat customers and employees! read more

I've been going here for years, ever since I worked at the Wegmans next store in highschool. One of my favorite things about it is how quickly you can get in and out. They're efficient- I can usually get a gel manicure in 30/45 minutes at most. And while an appointment is nice I've walked in many times without one and never waited very long at all. They can be a little short with you on the phone or at the door sometimes but I think it's partly the language barrier. Everyone is always friendly when doing your nails so don't let that scare you. Pricing is pretty average.. my gel manicure was $30 today. My nails always look great and last long :) read more

Fancy Nails - Gel Manicure! - Nail Salons Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Went to salon for the first time today. Arrived around 11:15 a.m., no wait. Got a great pedicure. Will definitely go there again.

A rude lady who Calls herself manager I took my 7yrs daughter for refills after a long wait, without letting me know she left my daughter half way and jumped to take another client. Even though Others had no clients. My daughter came to me crying with bloody Fingers, For a mother it's Unbearable to see someone hurting her child or act disrespectfully with them. I had to stand up and questioned her act. This act was Child abuse. To misguide and cover her fault She called the Police while I was paying. Although I was the one who supposed to call the police, but I didn't want to create trouble for anyone. Even the officer disagreed with her call and unprofessional act Which discriminates anyone. She wasn't apologizing for her reactions. The manager abused my daughter and made her cry. Instead of me calling the police on her, she called The Police on my 7yrs old!!!!! I will never recommend to anyone!!!!! read more

I made a pedicure appointment for my bestie & I. We were taken back to the chairs where HER pedicure promptly began. Mine? Not so much. Finally after 25 minutes of soaking my feet and being completely ignored, I left. I got no apology, no acknowledgment what so ever. I find this rude and won't be back. read more

I have been going to Sue since she opened. Great quality , clean , and lovely employees. Never once had a complaint. Always recommend friends there and they like it there too. Highly recommended read more

From my first visit until my last (last month) I have never had anything but great service and pedicure. Can't say anything negative about them. read more

Beautiful nail salon! My nails always looks beautiful and the prices are very reasonable for the great quality of work. Exceptionally clean and all of the staff is very sweet! Highly recommend this hot spot !! read more

HORRIBLE save yourself the money, time and aggervation. Went there a few times have yet to leave not bleeding. They charged one price then the next visit it goes up by almost $20.00. Will NEVER go there again, I recommend you don't either!! read more

I have been coming here for the last ten years. Typically just walk in with out an appointment and wait times are super reasonable. All of the girls are good. Sue is fantastic! read more

I don't like giving poor reviews but don't go here. I went with a bridal party (appointment made ahead of time), and one of the girls with us waited for 20 minutes after her pedicure to have anyone help her for her manicure. The rest of us were all already drying our nails. Some of us got acrylics, some just got regular polish. All but one of us left with crooked nails. I even politely asked if mine could be evened out a little...still crooked. I needed the polish on one nail fixed, and rather than removing the polish she added another layer of polish and top coat ON TOP of the base coat, two coats of polish and top coat already on my nails. We all went home and had to file our own nails to fix what they did...butchered. read more

From the moment I walked in the door I was rushed to pick out a color, the lady rushed through my gel manicure, done in ten minutes. She missed the sides of my nails and when I told her she seemed annoyed with me and talked to another girl in Chinese. You could still see my nails through the color so I asked for another coat and the other lady was rude to me. I won't be going back, a manicure is supposed to be relaxing and it was everything but that. A headache read more

This place is terrible. The workers are rude. They did my pedicure in about 15 minutes . I had more nail polish on my skin than toes , they even got polish on my shoes. Won't be back ! read more

The only reason I have this place two stars is because it was clean and they have children's pedi chairs. My pedi took under 15 mins -scrub applied but not rubbed in - no massage? Maybe they are rushed? Ugg. I haven't even left yet and felt I needed to warn future patron of this place-it's kind of a joke. Hopefully what they charge me is accurate for this awful service read more

Right next to Wegmens. A nice environment. I have been searching a good nail shop in buffalo for a long time, glad to find this shop. Not crowded as some shops in Amherst. read more

If I could give Fancy Nails a 0 I would. I went there today for a pedicure and had the absolute worst service. I sat in the chair for 15 minutes until someone was able to help me. The lady who did my nails rushed through the process and cut down my nails without asking and then made them way too curvy. Additionally, the french tip was completely uneven and she barely put on a top coat. Overall I was not impressed and wasn't happy with the experience and the overall feeling that my pedicure was rushed. If you're looking for a nice salon then this is NOT your place. read more

The only reason I would say to go here is because it is a very clean salon. I have gotten a full set two times and both times the nails were crooked or have fallen off with in a day or two. I do like their pedicures they usually last about 45 minutes for me but only because I always ask for hot water and it takes a while. There is one American girl who works there and she does an amazing job on the pedicures but she is hard to come by. I wouldn't even suggest to go here if you were in a rush. To me, The bad customer service doesn't trump the cleanliness. read more

What a terrible place. Quickest, worst pedicure I've ever had. Was done in 12 minutes, wth? Then they say it's $28 but don't let you use a card for under $30, and can't put the tip on it. Zero customer service, zero interest in keeping people coming back, and terrible job at pedis, very unhappy. read more

I went to get my nails done with my daughter today for our trip to Florida. This has been our go to the nail place but today we were disappointed with the service. A young man about 13 looking was supposedly doing my daughter's nails with absolutely no idea what he was doing. They painted twice after messing up once and left them wet so they were ruined upon returning home. We will not be returning. read more

This place is amazing. Very clean very comfortable and SUPER affordable. My nails look amazing. Got a gel manicure in 1/2 hour on my lunch break and it was busy! I WILL definitely be back for a pedicure read more
