    We chose the Rose Pedicure which I'd recommend
    Amanda L.

    The salon has been remodeled since we were last in the area visiting, lovely atmosphere with plants and new comfortable massage chairs. I also enjoyed the spa service we chose - the Rose Pedicure, which is a step up from the deluxe. It was relaxing and smelled lovely, but the big issue I had was with the actual paint job of my pedicure. I'm not sure if it was the technician or the paint, but this was one of the worst paint jobs I've received unfortunately. I told the owner before I got up because I couldn't find my technician and then had to wait for her to finish up with someone else so she could "fix" my toes, but she really didn't. I expected her to fix it or at least be offered a discount or a re-paint. I ended up just removing the polish myself a few days later so I could repaint my nails. I know I'm very particular with polish but this was disappointing especially for the price ($75).

    Been going here for about once a month. Always the best service especially when it came to getting my nails done for my wedding. The pedicures are worth the little splurge as our feet always feel amazing

    Builder gel by Myna
    Nicole M.

    Myna did great with my builder gel and exceeded my expectations. I can tell she is very knowledgeable and has a strong skill set. I will definitely be coming back to myna for my next fill.

    I have been coming to Puffin for more than six months and the staff there is incredibly friendly. They are all knowledgeable and skilled. Today I had Karlie do my nails and I'm normally pretty basically. I could tell she was talented so I decided to ask for something a little different for me. She did a nude cat's eye on nails and I love it. It adds a little touch of special for me and now I want to try more. Thank you Karlie for making me more modern.

    This was for a birthday trip and I have to say the nail tech was sooo nice and caring!

    The quality, care, patience, service, and the atmosphere in this nail's salon is amazing! If you are looking for a professional nail salon PUFFIN NAILS is the one! Everyone is super welcoming and nice:)

    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.

    A wonderful nail salon!! If you want a design- Linh is the person to go to :) Everyone here is incredible though. Our family enjoys coming together and have not gone wrong with their services- gel-x, builder, dip, regular polish, gel. A beautiful place to have a relaxing mani/pedi and they make it easy to set up an appointment

    Love this nail salon so much! Everyone there does such a good job and is so much fun. Thank you so much to Lyn for doing the best french tip I have ever gotten and to Sweet Tina who did a great pedicure. I leave so happy everytime I come.

    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.

I have been getting my nails done my whole life religiously every three weeks, at other salons I would experience Nails breaking, lifting and polish chipping. at Beau Den spa I no longer experience any of those things and my Nails last even longer. I extremely appreciate the cleanliness of the products used here and of the Salon. The tools are all brand new, products are non-toxic, and organic. I've never had any kind of skin irritation here which I have at other places. If you value the health and quality of your Nails, then this is the place for you. They genuinely care about the result.. Did I mention the nails are always fire too. Hands-down top-tier quality. i've come here with multiple design request, and they always kill it so grateful that I found this Salon they make me feel pampered.

After that unfortunately the quality went downhill. I received a gel manicure from Hanna with one hand nails bubbling up. I came back and Kimmy fixed it. While I was on a time crunch since I had a vacation to go to I appreciated her fixing it. The next day the other hand done by Hanna the entire gel polish came off of one nail with another finger happening thereafter. I came back from vacation, again I was annoyed but really wanted to give the salon a second chance because accidents happen but ... I came back and Kimmy had a new nail lady named Mandy fix my nails. Kimmy was going to fixed the nails originally but she moved Mandy to me because the other client complained. I had to correct Mandy multiple times at the end, you could tell the tip of my nails were messed up. I flagged it to Kimmy and she told me to come back at 6. I had been there for 3 hours ?! She asked me what I wanted to do and I told her to just give me a refund. She gave me $50. I think if you have Kimmy or one of her veteran nail techs do your nails you should be okay but she has a few nail techs that you can tell aren't that great. Kimmy should prequalify them and not put customers through this?! One of the other nail employees told me I was the 6th person that had come in with their gel coming off. I've done my nails for 20 years and this has never happen?!

However, I will admit that I did come in when I had a Gel-X tip split from another salon and they helped me with a new nail and tried to match the color as much as possible. The pedicures, mainly gel ones LAST 3+ weeks. It's probably their top and base because I've brought in my own gel (LeChat) and the results were the same. (I do avoid using DND/Daisy since I'm not a fan of them.) They also cut my nails as short as I request them to and VERY SHORT. Massages sometimes can be hit or miss since I need a firm, deep tissue. But I will say the consistency of having pedicures that can last forever is great! Don't change Kevin and Team! My only cons are that they don't do Russian/dry manicures as a normal mani treatment.

Unfortunately, we still ended up waiting almost two hours, which completely defeated the purpose of making an appointment. I paid $80 for a pedicure, but it was very disappointing. There was no massage or the level of service I expected for that price. When they started my friend's manicure , the technician was very rude to her, which made the experience even more unpleasant. The biggest surprise came when, after all that waiting, a staff member told me they couldn't do my manicure because there were too many customers waiting. I had specifically booked an appointment, so I don't understand why my reserved time wasn't honored. Overall, the service was unprofessional, poorly organized, and not worth the money. If appointments are required, they should be respected. This experience was extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend this salon based on how we were treated.
