Don't believe the bad reviews

Ok, I've been going to Buff for at least 5 years. The ambiance is nice; pink, black and white decor. The whole front wall is a window which lets in lots of natural light. It's clean and comfortable and pretty. They take walk-ins whenever they can and if your appointment goes past their closing time, they stay, they don't rush and they make sure your nails are dry. I have terribly dry feet and they spend a lot of time sloughing and smoothing my skin to help me combat this during the summer when it's worse. They do not charge extra for that, as someone said. Nor do they charge for the flip flops. They do speak their own language to each other, but I never care about things like that. The price point is a big higher than other places Ive been to and some of the ladies don't massage your hands/feet and legs quite as long as others. That said, it's still a nice experience to sip my tea or coffee or water they brought me and just relax and people watch through the window. (oh, and they have extra umbrellas if you get caught on a rainy day. No charge... they just give you the umbrella). :)

I went to Buff for a birthday manicure at about 4 or 4:30 pm and they were supposed to close at 5 but instead of throwing us out, they held the salon open, didn't rush us and gave us manicures. I thought this was really great of them! They were also really friendly and didn't resent us for coming in so late.

As for my manicure, it was pretty stamdard to be honest. Nothing spectacular about it, but nothing really bad either. The price was a little higher than I would normally pay for a manicure, considering I am a student though. The ambiance and the spot itself are pretty cute, they have great windows with lots of natural light, and comfy chairs and everything is pretty and girly- which I think it fun for a manicure place.

I would recommend this place, but for an everyday manicure, it is a bit expensive.

Buff is great! I came into buff the other day and was so pleased with my service (mani/pedi btw), even my young daughter came with me and they painted her toes in a pretty pink and put nail jewels on, she loved it!

Really cute shop. Loved the pink theme and the trendy vibe. Great music, friendly atmosphere. The service was good and will definitely go back.

Went to Buff a couple of weeks ago for the first time. I actually liked the atmosphere....definitely not a high-end "spa" but very comfortable and had a really great energy. My service (mani/pedi) was fast and well done. There were lots of magazines to read (I went alone) and a large flat-screen TV on one wall (no sound) to watch while I was getting my nails done. All in all, I'd say Buff is good value for the price (when I went, they had a super great $40 special for manicure & pedicure). I'll definitely be back!

Went to Buff a couple weeks ago for a party I had planned for my bestie!

Booking the party was a breeze and the receptionist on the phone was helpful and pleasant. She made sure that we were taken care of and when we arrived the receptionist greeted us with a smile and the staff were ready to go!

Their Pedicures are amazing! They use their own brand of scrub which was delightful, leaving my feet soft!

The only thing is their own brand of polish takes a while to dry (doesn't help when it is not sandal season)

Summer will be here soon and already planned another Party soon! Thank You Buff!

i went with a couple of my guy friends a while ago for a party....buff took care of the food and great service!

I came here with a friend for the martini thursdays where you get snacks and a chocolate martini or cosmo with your manicure or pedicure. I went for a pedicure and chocolate martini. The place looks very nice on their website but when I visited I thought they could do a wee bit better on the ambiance. For example the radio was playing and I hate hearing commercials when I'm getting pampered. Find it very annoying and then of course you get all of the static. Also the floors needed a good sweeping. All in all, a cute place, great location on Front street (@ Jarvis) and I like the idea of the martini night. I've had better pedicures. They didn't spend a lot of time buffing or massaging so I probably wouldn't come here on a regular basis, but it's a fun thing to do with a friend or two and the prices are reasonable.
