Visited Buff Nails with two other girlfriends for walk-in appointment as we were jonesing to fixup our toes. It was a Friday night when we were told by the staff it was too late and it would take too long, THE PLACE WAS EMPTY TOO!!! and we arrived WELL BEFORE closing time. Their website claims they give no attitude... which is complete BS. VERY DISSAPPOINTING BUFF NAIL LOUNGE, VERY DISSAPPOINTING INDEED.

Buff Nail Lounge offers more than just the average spa job, they provide an awesome, relaxing atmosphere with staff to match. It's perfect for a girls day out! Buff Nail's goes above and beyond...'i've already recommended it to all my friends.. :)

This salon is a joke. Service is awful, products used are poor quality.I will notify the authorities about their sanitation and disinfection procedures . I came with perfectly healthy nails ,they butchered my cuticles and I got bacterial infection. I took pictures of my hands and nails and I am going to contact my attorney to file a law suit against the owner. Staff members are uneducated same as the owner who is by the way chain smoker and smells like an ashtray . I will make sure that my friends and family members never visit this place and I will do everything in my power to shut this place down.

I had one of my worst spa experiences at Buff Nail Lounge. From the nail polish pealing with in an hour of the manicure, to the rude service, to the unclean environment. Avoid the pedicure unless you want a fungal infection. It took my friend 6 months before the infection she got from Buff to clear up.

When I saw the clean & trendy Buff Nail Lounge I was excited to try it. No appointments necessary? Love it! So on a day of shopping with my friend we thought we'd try it out.

My mother is a successful aesthetician for 30 years & aesthetics teacher in the Windsor area, so I feel I know my pedicures. This unfortunately was a glorified polish change. For $38 (basic pedi) you get a soak, file, weak 2 min scrub & polish. Any callouses, dry skin, cracked heels, or cuticles went unattended.

At the end of my pedicure, when the aesthetician applied the quick dry oil, she hit my big toe and smudged the polish. After she told *me* I had to be careful (?!?!) she begrudgingly fixed my polish by putting two more coats overtop of the existing smudge. The end result was my putting shoes on 5 hours later and the polish peeling right off. Not two weeks later, my polish cracked and chipped. I had to pay another $20 tip to get another salon to fix Buff's mistakes so my toes looked acceptable.

They were nice enough but the actual service & product they use is extremely disapointing.

I normally go to a salon in Mane Society in Richmond Hill near where I live, and the service is outstanding. They use excellent products (Gehwohl & OPI) and for $40 tip your feet are transformed. I will never stray again!

Wow - what a great day we had at Buff. For my daughter's 13th birthday I decided to take her and 2 friends for a manicure and pedicure treat at Buff. The girls each had express manis and pedis while I had the Buff Lounge manicure. It was such a treat - the girls loved the great decor and the service was top notch. The girls really enjoyed the pampering and attention provided by the staff - and I love their manicures. The Buff polish is the best I have ever used - it stays on longer than any other polish I have used - and I like the fact it doesn't contain unnecessary chemicals.

Thanks to the team at Buff for giving us such a great experience!

I went here in July 07 with two girlfriends. We were initially impressed. It is a really lovely spot. Pretty and pink with lovely benches and fabulously scented scrubs that are homemade by the owner. However, we had a very bad experience. The manager is a chain-smoking drill sergeant. She was curt from the outset,seemingly upset that we all were having lounge manicures and pedicures. She was more concerned about the customers who would show up after us and not be able to get in for an hour. (They don't take appointments).

And don't even try to change your mind about the service you want,the manager will yell at you!! Just ask the sweet esthetician who were giggling and equally shocked at her behaviour! As for products, I do not recommend their in-house polish. It is thick and bubbles! I took mine off immediately. Bring your own OPI or Essie - they don't carry either.

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.
