Builder gel manicure with gel polish

Puffin nails is my go to nail location. Every nail technician I have worked with has been top notch! I have tried all of their gel pedicures, and highly recommend, when you can, to try the more deluxe pedicures - they're exceptionally relaxing! What I have really found amazing is how wonderful each of the technicians I have had who have done my builder gel manicures. Each person has taken a lot of time to be precise while creating the perfect shape of the nail. I highly recommend them not only because of the quality, but the price! Puffin nails also has an amazing selection of nail colors for regular polish, gel, and dip. It is also exceptionally easy to make an appointment in person, on the phone, or via yelp. I highly recommend puffin nails for quality work, competitive pricing, great color selection, and a very fun vibe.

Dip powder - C21 with white chrome
Kelley N.

I've been coming here for 2 years now and I always leave super satisfied and in love with the results! The staff are all nice and very welcoming. After the first few visits, they already remembered my name which I think is really nice and shows that they pay attention to their returning clients. Recently, I came in for a dip powder manicure. Hanh was my nail tech and she did an amazing job. She was very meticulous and kept checking in with me during every step. The length and shape were exactly what I wanted. I wasn't going to add chrome but I felt like the color needed something a little extra, so she added it and the results were perfect. Highly recommend coming here for your manicures and pedicures.

Love this place so much, it's so cute! I always get a dip and they turn out so good. Lily is so attentive and sweet. I can really relax and don't feel rushed. I recommend trying it out if you need a place!

Bernadette A.

Absolutely love this nail salon! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with such a warm and friendly atmosphere. Eric; the owner is very accommodating and he makes sure you're satisfied with the service before you leave the nail salon. The staff are incredibly meticulous and pay amazing attention to every detail--my nails have never looked better. Thanks to Lily who does my dip manicure and Katie for my pedicure with the best foot massage. Also the massage chairs are so relaxing, and the whole place is clean, and inviting. Truly a top-notch experience every time. Highly recommend if you want quality and care all in one. Puffin Nails is the best.

Lin did amazing once again!! Came out just like the inspo pic I showed her! Not to mention I was in and out with a mani/pedi in 1 hr. 2nd time coming here and I'm so impressed And thank you for adding on the pedi last min!!! Very accommodating salon

Lexie P.

Amazing experience! Yuni and Katie were wonderful. I made an appt on Thursday for a Saturday morning appt. Originally asked for a gel mani/pedi for me and just a regular pedi for my mom. But my mom ended up changing her mind, day of, and they were able to accommodate her for a gel mani as well. They were clean, efficient, and we didn't feel rushed at all, despite them being very busy. The decor was also super cute and girly! Would definitely recommend and visit again when I'm in the area.

Natalie was AMAZING! She was such a good listener and gave me exactly what I wanted based on the inspiration photo I showed her. The shape is absolutely on point, the colors are perfect, and the overall look is flawless. She's really sweet, didn't rush at all, and took her time to make sure everything was done right. I felt completely taken care of from start to finish. Super helpful, attentive, and truly talented. Also, huge bonus--they were open on New Year's Eve, which I really appreciated! I'm so happy with my nails and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Natalie if you want someone who actually listens and delivers.

I'm so glad I found Puffin Nails after moving to Concord. I've been coming here actually every few months for the last 2 years or so. I am surprised it took me this long to leave a review! It's a clean, cute neighborhood nail salon with easy parking in the big shopping center. I usually text Eric a couple of days ahead and he somehow always fits me in. As a fellow small business owner, I really appreciate how hands-on he is. I've seen him here daily, and you can feel the care and sacrifice it takes to run a great local business. Service is consistently excellent. I come for dip powder manicures and gel pedicures, and no matter who I'm booked with, the work is meticulous. They've got brand-new pedicure chairs, everyone is friendly, and appointments actually start on time (rare!). If I arrive early, they'll begin the soak-off right away, which is super efficient. They also have a ton of colors to choose from. Although I am a neutral girly, their selection is huge and you can really find whatever color you're looking for. I've seen a lot of people get cute designs when I go in too. If you're looking for a dependable Concord nail salon for dip manicures or gel pedicures, support this small business. Puffin Nails delivers beautiful results, great service, and a welcoming vibe every time. You can also grab a coffee next door before too! Its a great location! Here is a photo of my latest set from a few days ago.

Love this salon. They take their time and make sure you get what you want! Prices are reasonable. Really pretty salon. Technicians are friendly. 10/10 recommend and always come here for nails.

Puffin is the best around, I have never left unsatisfied over the last year I've been going there. The techs are so nice and they have so many colors! Easy appointment scheduling and reasonably priced!

I'm constantly preaching and recommending Puffin to everyone that will hear me out. Linh had created this gemstone look design. I'm always willing to give my nail techs free range because they never disappoint. Linh was great. She took her time to make this look so pretty. I love this months look.

I booked a pedicure here. I was told over the phone it was $50 for a regular pedicure. When I…read morearrived I was handed a menu and they it didn't list basic pedicure, instead it had options such as "lavender pedicure," which I chose for $60. I also asked for a set of nails. I already had acrylics on which the nail artist ended up removing. I was surprised that the removal of the acrylic nails was painless. Five stars for not popping my nails off! The nail artist who did my pedicure was kind. Her massage was good. I couldn't really tell I had a lavender pedicure I just saw some purple scrub being applied to me which is okay. The set of nails they put on me were called Gel X for $65 a set. The nails took much quicker time to place than an acrylic set. After a week and half about three came off which is good because I have kids my hands are always in the water for dishes, or for cleaning so they held up well. When I went back in to have them fixed I was told over the phone I would need a new set. The other seven nails left on me were attached very well. I was wandering how much it was going to hurt to have them taken off. Luckily, they didn't remove them and in fact filled them for me! I appreciate this. No pain! I love my Gel X nails. They are perfect. This has become my go to place. Only thing I would recommend is to ask for a punch card if it's your first time here when checking out. I was given one the second time because I believe they didn't remember to give me one the first time. I haven't used the card, but I think it's got some kind of freebie or discount once your punches are filled up. I also like this place because they ask if you want a massage after a Gel X set.

I really wanted to love this place because the designs are beautiful and the atmosphere is nice,…read morebut this is the second time I've spent over $200 on a set with a pedicure and had nails break or pop off before (or right at) the one-week mark. At that price point, that's just not acceptable. Both times, I could tell they were taking on too many walk-ins and the work felt rushed. I completely understand wanting to accommodate customers, but rushing through services affects quality. When nails aren't prepped or applied properly, they don't last..and that's exactly what's happening. To be fair, when my Disney set (pictured) broke like a day or two after having them done...they were very kind and redid the set free of charge, and I truly appreciated that. However, I don't want to have to keep coming back to fix issues. I spend a lot of money here, and I also don't want to spend more time in the nail shop than necessary because a set didn't last. For the amount being charged, clients should be able to expect durability. I think the salon would benefit from slowing down, limiting how many appointments are taken at once, and investing more time in proper technique and training to ensure sets actually last. I really did like this place at first, which makes this disappointing. But the quality doesn't match the price, I unfortunately have to start going elsewhere.
