    sns with tips
    Madison N.

    Came here after a recommendation from someone else. I have definitely found my new nail salon. I love the ambience and the friendliness of the staff. I received exactly what I asked for and my tech took her time to shape the nails & do a design which they can do almost anything! My nails last long and I always get compliments on them.

    This is my new go-to nail salon! They do beautiful work and have great customer service. Salon is clean and well designed.

    I am person of my word so I wanted to update this review after being asked to return by the owner. This is an honest review because I paid for my services. Although there was a minor hiccup I will want to shout out VI, For being so consistent in her customer service. You are truly a delight to engage with. Thank you to Treana for fixing my nails and for supplying another person in her absence so I'm never disappointed. Lastly Hannah thank you for taking so much time with me and listening to everything I asked for. I truly appreciate the extra attention and care.

    The people here are extremely nice however I came in to just get a gel color change on my nails and most of my nails were bleeding afterward and makes doing everyday things hurt :(

    When i first got there everything was good. Next she told me to seat down and we started on our nails, she started shaping them and i told her i wanted them square but the lady started making them square roundish. so i asked her if she could fix it and she did next i was picking put my color and i was taking my time and she wasn't rude about it. When she started applying the color everything was looking fine until the finished product there was lumps and they didn't look good so i told her and she started taking everything off with an attitude she was buffin and filing my nails so aggressive and my aunt had to say something. So when they startes to redo my nails they looked even more cumply and i had to pay 55$ and they were rushing us to leave because they were closing.

    They do a great job and the new building is really nice! I get SNS when I go. The prices have increased a little bit since the location change but not bad

    Post worthy obviously lol

    I can't say enough how much I love this shop and my technician Leo. Every set is BEAUTIFUL, he is truly an artist!!

    What I asked for in regards to the squiggle design. Simple enough right?

    So I will first say, this was my very first time going to this nail salon and figured from the reviews it would be so worth the drive. My partner just recently received a little extra in his check and decided to take me to get my nails done. I wanted to keep it relatively budget friendly and still allow for the designs I like. After washing my hands and meeting the lady who was to do my nails at the sink I had really high expectations. They take me to the chair and I have three inspo pictures that I would like to know the price of. She looks at them all and says she will have to see which length and then can tell me the price range. I decided on a medium length and she expresses that it will be almost $100 for french with design. So, I asked about the nails with swirls and how much it would cost, she says $85-90. I had not heard of these prices and would not have came if had known, as they are quite high for pretty bad customer service. We ultimately decide on just doing french tips this length for $65. (This is after going back and forth with her as she said the french tip by itself would look bad.) Which again, quite high for no gel and just acrylic. She begins my nails and shes pretty quiet and I am just watching her work silently. She puts the colored acrylic down and I actually loved the color so figured to just skip out on the french because of earlier comments she had made. All was going well up until another nail tech came by and they were speaking to each other, when my nail tech decides to make a comment about my freckles. She asks, "Did you make those?" , I promptly responded yes, I did, with makeup. I think freckles are very beautiful and wish I had more so I made my own. They laughed a bit then she said something about her freckles, they laughed some more and she continued. I complimented on hers as to make sure she didn't feel in any way insulted by me drawing mine on , (some people see it as a means of making fun I suppose). So at this point its been around 2 hours and all I have had done is the acrylic base. At 5:45 a customer comes in and my tech gets up and says I will be right back, I need to do a design really quickly. Before I could even ask what she meant she was greeting the customer who walked in. Apparently she had an appointment that morning in which the nail tech charged and forgot to give her design, so she came back for an appointment at 6 pm. Now I dont know about you, but thats slightly insulting that this tech decided her time was more valuable than mine, though I arrived first and was literally in the middle of my nails. So she goes and works on this ladies FEET! No gloves. And then runs to bathroom in the middle of doing her feet. I did not see if she washed her hands but I am hopeful she did. This whole time I am sitting there while other techs are walking around doing other peoples nails who JUST came in and everyone just kind of left me to my own devices. I was about a second away from filing my own nails and leaving when she comes to me at 6:10 pm to say, only another minute. I wait, another 5-10 min go by. She then finishes the lady's feet, the lady gets up leaves, and then the tech realized she didnt finish so rushes out the door to grab her attention. She gets back in the chair and starts doing her toes again. I am pretty upset at this point and I am usually very understanding (work in customer service for upwards of 7 years now), but this was ridiculous as if my money, time, or consideration was not important. She finally finished after about 40 minutes and came back DIRECTLY TO ME, and did not wash her hands, or even put on a single glove, or sanitize. Oh man I was sick to my stomach but just wanted to get out of there with some kind of nail. She never apologizes but says thanks for my patience. I ask her to please make them look as natural as she can and continues to say she cant make them thin because they will break... I just wanted the acrylic on the top of my nail filed down enough to not look so thick. She finally gets to the design, and at this point shes pretty much doing the bare minimum to get my nails done. Never checked with me thru the process on if they looked ok to my liking or any of that. At the end when I asked her to add the evil eye symbol, she kept trying to sway me making faces and side comments about that and all in all made me super u comfortable in my choices. I absolutely cant stand my nails because they look literally nothing like I asked. I will most definitely never be going back here, and it sucks because the potential was definitely there. Just seems like a paying customer who WAS going to tip well , in case that was an unfair expectation that I wasn't, was not good enough for at least basic customer service.

    This place was one the best nail salons I have been too. They outdo most places at the mall such as VIP, diamond and NY nails. Their prices are better as well as their service. They were so kind, and did a beautiful job on my nails. I'm so happy for choosing them! Their new location is also quite modern and gorgeous. Will definitely be coming back!

God blesses you and your family!

    I just moved into the area and was looking for a moderate to an expensive nail place that still provided decent service and I am happy to say I found a place. Lucy did my pedicure and did an outstanding job. And Jenny did my SNS nails and they look so cute. She was conversational but not prying asking if I had a boyfriend LOL. She truly took her time on my nails and I did not feel rushed. She was very detail oriented and I appreciate that. Will be my new regular spot for my nails

    Poor manicure

    I will say this is one of the prettiest and most hygienic nail salon I've been to. And they have HUNDREDS of color options. However, that's about where the good stops. The pedicure was decent but no where worth the price point. My sns manicure was terrible. I left with leftover sns and acetone all over my hands. No hand massage or anything. When the receptionist asked how things were and I replied with "fine" and I showed her the shape of my hands, my manicurist proceeded to file my skin trying to get acetone mix off. Not the soft smooth skin I was going for. The second most expensive nail service I've ever had- including salons in Buckhead that give you champagne. Jojo

    Oh my Gosh!! I absolutely loved my experience at this nail salon!! Thank you so much Thai and Nikki!! You both were wonderful!! Not only them, but everyone was great! The one thing that I am always missing at nail salons is good service. They NAILED it! They are smiling and they try to speak in English whenever possible to try to make us feel less uncomfortable. They try their best to make sure that the colors and designs are what I requested. It's wonderful! This was my first time here and y'all blew it out the park! Thank you for putting customers first and listening to us!

    See all

    I have been to Brazilian Wax by Andreia a few times and it's a great place to get your waxing done…read more I tried another place in Dacula before this and I did not like that place. So I come to Buford and it might be a bit further for me but it's worth it. They have great waxing promo where you can multiple parts of your body waxed for a better price. I usually go to Sophie and she is excellent and very knowledgeable about skin and suggestions on dry skin etc. Last time she had a emergency and had to cancel and I appreciated it so much she messaged me and told me sorry etc. I was like, no apology needed, life happens sometimes. But I would definitely pick her to do my waxing she is great. It was great to know that Sophie values her repeat customers. Also, I have tried Olga since I was already there last time, and Olga was very nice as well. The ambience and vibe is very relaxing abc nicely set up. You wait in the lounge area and then they take you to a private room and you get waxed. Wear comfy clothes that are easy to take off for getting waxing done. Located in a busy little shop area in heart of Buford. It's a place I recommend to all my friends who live near by.

I been to a few others at this location but hands down Sophie is the BEST!!! Let me tell you!!!! When I say she deserves a 10 she really does!! Sophie goes on above and beyond doing her job. I give it to her bc I sure ass hell couldn't do what she does. Lol. Sophie was so sweet, she was up front and told me what I needed to do, gave me recommendation, explained how and when I should exfoliate.. She did an awesome job waxing me! She left my behind smooth like a babies butt!! I had a few ingrown hair and she was so patience with me and pulled it out with a tweezer! I have never met someone that's loves their job as much as her!!! With that being said... if you haven't already, go give Sophie a visit!! You will not be disappointed!!

    The worst wax experience I've ever had tbh. I've been getting waxes and sugars for over 7 years. I…read morego every 5 weeks consistently. I'm new to Georgia found this place had great reviews 5 minutes from my house perfect. My estie was Kimberly. Lobby is fine clean go in no one at the desk someone comes out with her gloves on! Says to fill out a form she'll be with me in a minute. I go back and she says you're getting Brazilian and under am I said no. Brazilian sugar and eyebrows. Ok get undressed. Just like that lol no conversation about my skin if I'm done this before etc. I lay down on paper like from the doctors office you know it's cold no towel to cover nada just coochie out on the table. Again I've been to plenty of places. They always discuss your skin allergies needs. You get a towel and a pre wipe but yea not here. Anyway I'm looking around I see a crockpot Lmaoo a literal crock pot with wax in it. And a jar of barbicide with tweezers etc in it. I'm like hmmm. Flags already waving but I went against my better judgement because I'm like well I guess that's convenient to not have to keep warming up wax with that big ass thing lol. Anyway Kimberly comes in doesn't speak or make conversation only thing she said was do you want it all off? I'm like yea ok. So she powders me up like a donut and starts sugaring. The waxing part was going fine again just was silent. I asked her a few questions after a bit but she was just silent afterwards. Just gave off weird vibes idk. Not comforting or personable like you would want to feel with someone down at your goodies. She did most of the Brazilian with sugar. Which is what I wanted. She ended up doing some soft wax strips on my Bikini line which I thought was weird never had to have more than one wax used. Again go every 5 weeks. Ain't no bush it's minimal hair. Ok boom I flip over on my stomach which also never done but anyway she proceeds to then use hard wax on the backside and I asked her how come she using different waxes she said because of moisture the sugar isn't gripping mind you in all my years never ever had this happen. So she uses all 3 wax methods on me . Ok now she's done. No after wax spray not wax removal no hot towel nothing. Just sticky as ion what tells me get dressed then we'll do my eyebrows. Again I should have just left but yea I didn't so my sticky booty got dressed sat in the chair now. Told her what I wanted. She used strips fine that's what I expected. Showed me they look fine but I noticed it was still burning. So when we got to the front I said I think you burned me kuz it's stinging still. She ain't say shit told me my total now I know I should have spoken up more but honestly I was just flabbergasted by the experience I just wanted to leave. Nonetheless I would never return to this establishment nor would I recommend anyone to go there. I went to snooze restaurant right across the parking lot and I was telling her why I was so flustered and said wow she had the same experience it was terrible as well. So pay attention to the bad reviews and if you have a bad experience somewhere please share I know it's a pain kuz again I don't usually do reviews even if it's bad but how else is everyone else supposed to know.

She reached out to the spa and spoke with Quincy, who was friendly and professional. Quincy then transferred her to another person (whose name she did not get) to make a reservation. However, my sister was informed that there were no massages available on Saturday, despite the spa being open. This was because they didn't have any masseuses working on weekends. It's perplexing how a spa can operate without staff available on Saturdays, especially since my sister works Monday through Friday. The whole point of the gift was for her to book an appointment on a Saturday, and their advertised hours indicate they are open on both Saturdays and Sundays. I believe the spa should have included this crucial information in the fine print of the Groupon. Had I known she would need to take a day off to use it, I never would have purchased it. My sister just started her job and doesn't have vacation days available, making it extremely inconvenient to book an appointment. I wanted to return the Groupon and exchange it for another one, but unfortunately, I missed the refund/exchange window. I am very disappointed with this purchase because the reviews on Groupon, Yelp, and Google were excellent, which misled me regarding the spa's availability.
