buff.

I've been going to Buff for over 2 years and wouldn't go anywhere else. The whole team are super friendly & talented by my go to gal is Vanda. I genuinely look forward to having my catch up with her while she works her magic on my nails, it's legit like catching up with a pal (but you get beautiful nails too). Super creative and so welcoming, cannot recommend her and the rest of the buffs gals enough!

I’ve been going to Buff now for two years this month! I will never go anywhere else, Vanda is brilliant, whether I go in with ideas or ask for her input she is so creative and talented and I always leave with stunning nails. She indulges my love of colour and always has good advice for keeping my nails in great condition. Her chat is great too, I look forward to our 4 weekly catch ups, it’s like visiting a pal!

I've been visiting Buff for around a year now since moving to Edinburgh, and it definitely is the best nail choice I've made. After seeing Jen's designs, I just had to book an appointment. Jen is a very talented artist and paints nails like she's painting a picture - the process really is so intriguing to watch, and relaxing too. Imagine Bob Ross as a nail artist, and that is Jen! It also helps that the nail bar has a chill atmosphere and the girls in there are so down to earth and have great chat. I always look forward to my next design and the compliments I receive on them are so bittersweet, as I only wish I could say I'd done them myself!

I cannot reminisce enough about my gel manicure at Buffs! I travelled from Canada, and didn't have a chance to get a manicure before I left, so I was in desperate need for a mani. After doing careful research, I rang Buff up and wanted to see if there were any openings for manicures that were at the start of my trip and to my surprise there was an opening on one of my busier days. So hot tip here, if you can't find a time that works for you through their online booking system, give them a ring and you may be in luck! I ended up getting a linear french manicure with Tara, and she was fabulous - I was also introduced to their BIAB in the shade flubber, and I am to this day obsessed (unfortunately we don't carry that specific shade and brand of gel in Canada). The space was super quaint, and super clean, and it really was such a relaxing way to start my day. The salon is also located in an area that's not super touristy, so you get to feel like a local for a few hours. Definitely booking some appointments when I'm back in the fall.
