I made an appointment this morning for eyebrow waxing and called in to add a regular pedicure. No issues with adding the pedicure. I showed up a minute or two after my appointment was scheduled and was asked to wait a few minutes and pick my color. No problem. Jade was extremely sweet and attentive. She did a great job with the waxing and my nails turned out super good. I'm super happy with the services I received. Total was $72 + tip. read more

I found this place because I went to the T-mobile there. I was already planning on getting a gel manicure and pedicure for my trip which was the next day. Since there wasn't a wait, I decided to go here instead of my usual place that's always so busy. I am so happy I did. The service was great; the place is very clean. The two people that helped me were very nice and professional and good conversationalists also. They really took their time and I love how my manicure turned out. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Buff & Tweeze - Gel manicure. Ready for my trip! - Skin Care Near Me - La Crescenta, California

Rarely do I complain unless my experience has been absolutely egregious. I've never had such a poor pedi; literally took 5 minutes from start to finish. The technician seemed unprofessional, critical, and blamed me for his inconsistent color between the color application. I'm not sure how he is certified considering there was no trimming, massage, nor kindness in his delivery. I would never recommend nor return. read more

Came here about 2 hours ago as a walk in. Truly a great pedicure. I got a gel pedicure with callus removal and a French and everything was done very well. I expressed my concern how no one cleans the ingrown anymore and Jade made sure she got everything perfectly cut and clean. Highly recommend. read more

Buff & Tweeze - Acrylic with gel polish - Skin Care Near Me - La Crescenta, California

I've tried so so hard to like this place. Unfortunately it's just not worth it. Phu refuses to do nail art unless you get gel polish, tries to constantly upsell you to get gel polish on acrylics instead of regular. Lee does a good pedicure, but is very fast and there is nothing relaxing about it. I've even made my appointments online and tried requesting Susan, but still ended up with them. As far as my acrylics go, today was the last straw. They are bumpy, uneven, and the design isn't all that great. read more

Buff & Tweeze - New set of Gel X with the one and only Rose - Skin Care Near Me - La Crescenta, California

First time trying this place through ClassPass and my experience was so relaxing. I had my appointment at an earlier time which was ClassPass fault but Phu was able to come in earlier for me! Phu did my pedicure which I haven't had in a while and he made me feel welcomed and comfortable. He did an excellent job. He took his time and did not rush at all. I get anxious trying new nail salons but this was definitely a great first experience, I will definitely be coming back and bringing my mom with me! read more

A BIG NO My nail lady was sick so I decided to give them a try and I regretted so bad. My nails are uneven, the top coat isn't properly applied and the worse part, she failed my nails too thin as paper. She didn't even bother to sock the gel polish to be removed, just filed them to the end. And the technician who did my pedi was just pretending that he's doing something that I got pissed and didn't let him to paint my toes. Please look at the pictures and tell me are my toes squared? Oh btw what I noticed which is disgusting they both didn't wear gloves, seriously? Ugh Do not waste your time and energy read more

Probably one of the worst places I've been to get my nails done. Insanely overpriced and a subpar job. I also had my 3yr old come to get a mani pedi and they charged me $40 and did a terrible job that I could have easily done myself. I was livid when I walked out after paying what i paid and looking at how our nails turned out. I will never come back and you can definitely get your nails done better at another place for a much better price!!! read more

I went back again and requested Tracy during the holidays. I was meeting my partner's family for the first time and I didn't really know what I wanted. Tracy instantly knew what to do and came out with these stunners. These are the prettiest sets I've had and I love how she does gel nails. I don't like acrylics because they hurt my nails. These are perfect though. I apologize for only one hand, both hands were exceptional! I got so many compliments and my partner thought they were amazing. read more

What happened to this salon? It used to be my favorite and I've been coming here for years... This place is not how it used to be... I started coming here, back when they had a full staff and receptionist. I moved away then moved back a couple years ago and things are not the same. The staff changed, which was fine, I found a new lady that I liked that can do my pedicure. But then she wasn't there anymore. It seemed like most of the staff has left which is sad. I booked an appointment online and requested a certain person but didn't get them. I don't like the way the guy does my pedicure because he's rough and it's painful. He also pushed a callus removal and sugar scrub on me.. which ended up costing me an extra $15.. he didn't even ask me he just told me I'm gonna do this for you, making it sound like it wasn't extra and didn't even let me know it was extra! So shady and seemed like they just wanted more money because they're not doing so well. I ended up just paying the whole price because I didn't wanna be rude. It's so sad to see this place go down hill, it just seems like there's barely any staff working anymore and business has gotten slow. There's no receptionist anymore so what's the point of making an appointment when the nail techs are the ones that greet you and don't even know what you booked. Why are you asking me what I want and if I have an appointment when it's literally on the computer stating exactly the time and service I booked. It's like they don't even know what appointments they have that day. I loved this salon but I think it's time to part ways and find a new place. read more

I called and made an appointment. I arrived 10 min early and waited for over an hour for the technician to finish his current costumer to attend me. He started and rushed through it like Iv never seen before. He did not pay a second of attention to what I wanted. He got up several time to find tools or clean in between while I was in the chair. He did such horrible job that I had to stop him. He hardly removed any cuticle. Changed the shape of my toes. Cut them so short. Another technician took over but I was done. Really done with this place. I got up and left without wanting them to even continue for another min to even apply the color. The most horrible job ever of all the years. Never ever again. read more

Fida is an amazing brow wiz! I have been going to her for over 8 years and I am a huge fan how she waxes brows (so surprised I haven't left a review yet!) I'm not a fan of brow tweezing, and Fida is experienced in brow waxing as well as many esthetician services. What I love is the tweezing she incorporates along with waxing; believe it or not, a lot of other estheticians just wax without trimming or tweezing. Fida, however, leaves your brows feeling fresh! When she has more time on her hands, she's also shaded in my brows, leaving them looking fabulous. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my brows. The spa is super cute. It's local for me, but even if I wasn't in the area, I would make the trip to see Fida. Without her, my brows would be uneven and bushy. I genuinely don't know what I would do without my monthly appointment with her! Thank you, Fida, for years of making me feel pretty and for Buff & Tweeze! read more

I got my nails done once again by Tracy and I just wanna say how much I love her work!! I told her that I didn't know what I wanted for my nails this time. Aside from the color, I gave Tracy the freedom to design my nails however she wanted and she definitely did not disappoint! She suggested trying out a coffin shape for my nails which I was unsure of since I had never had that before, but I love the shape and the design she chose for me!!! I get compliments from my coworkers all the time thanks to Tracy! read more

Ty left a long time ago so I started seeing Tracy and my goodness she is AMAZING. She ALWAYS gets my nails SPOT ON! I do the dip powder but she'll incorporate gel colors and designs in there for me and it's always a hit. If this place loses her, I'd follow her no doubt. read more

I wasn't going to leave a bad review but it's only been two hours since my nail appointment and my gel manicure is already peeling off. To begin with I left disappointed as I showed them a photo of what I wanted and they said it would be fine but halfway through, the man doing my nails said he can't do hearts. Ummm would have been nice to know so I could pick another design. No worries, I would just get a regular gel manicure but even that wasn't successful. My nails are botched. Here are some photos. Notice how all my nails are a different size? If you're a perfectionist do not go here. read more

This was a "what I asked for vs. what I got situation", that I was FORCED to pay for. First of all, I had come in for an acrylic fill and I presented the technician with a picture of what I wanted in terms of shape and length. She said okay, and I asked her if she wanted me to keep it open for reference. She said no. Unfortunately I didn't get the technicians name. She proceeded to cut my nails and after I told her they were too short, she goes "Well what do you want me to do about it? There's nothing I can do". Mind you, she could've just started from scratch as most nail techs do when they see that their client is visibly displeased. She didn't want to even attempt to fix it because it was late in the evening and she didn't want to stay for an extra 20 minutes to rectify the mistake. I told her that she could try thinning the width by filing the sides so the nails don't look as wide. She didn't listen and I ended up with what looked like the nails of a tortoise. Underneath the nails were complete jagged and had polish stuck between my natural nail and the acrylic. It looked like a 5 year old had done it. Visibly shaken up, I go to the receptionist and I tell her verbatim: "I'm sorry, I'm really not the type to do this, but I'm really upset with how this turned out, on top of the fact that the technician didn't listen to me at all and didn't attempt to fix anything. I really cannot bring myself to pay for this, knowing I'm having to get it fixed and therefore, pay even more." She tells me that I'll have to talk to the owner, Fida, which is fine. Fida comes. I reiterate what had taken place, I showed her the picture of what I wanted. Fida herself tells the technician that she did a bad job. Okay great, we're all in agreement. THEN she proceeds to tell me that I still needed to pay, but that I could come the next morning to get it fixed. I'm shocked, I tell her "Ma'am, when I pay for a service, I expect it to be done correctly the first time. Especially when I'm giving instructions. I should not have to take an additional two hours out of my schedule to rectify something your employee messed up in the first place." MIND YOU, I've been coming here for TEN YEARS. TEN. I had NEVER had a problem with my experience here before and it was my first time ever asking for a refund or fee waive in my entire life. I'm telling her, I'm sorry but if you yourself agree that it was a bad job, why should I have to pay for it? She then tells me that the technician needs to be paid for her time. I tell her, you're the owner of the place and she's your employee, you should be paying her out of your pocket, not making me pay for it when she messes up. Any way, after physically shaking and going back and forth verbally she tells me I need to pay for half of it. I put the 20$ on the counter and leave. I couldn't believe that Fida was SO CHEAP that she was actually spending her time arguing with a loyal customer to get 40$ so that she wouldn't be paying her own employee out of her pocket. Absolutely disgraceful. Absolutely unprofessional. I used to come here at least twice a month and would spend 70-80$ each time. From now on, I'll be taking my business where it's appreciated. I can't believe I spent half an hour haggling with the owner of this place as if I was in some bazaar in some village. read more

If you're looking for a sloppy mani this is the spot for you! I had not gone to this establishment for years because of their below average work product. I decided to give them another try and once more their work product is far below average. The polish was applied carelessly and looks awful around my cuticles. I contacted the manager and let him know I was disappointed. He offered for me to go back in that day to have it fixed. When I said I had no time he kept telling me I should have said something the night before before leaving (mind you I was rushed out of there bc they were closing). No credit for future service given. read more

Definitely recommend stopping by here! read more

I came in for a gel X extension removal and an overlay. Tracy was working on my nails and did not seem to comprehend that gel X extensions are soak off. I asked multiple times if she was familiar with gel x and removals. Tracy argued that she didn't feel a tug when she ripped off the gel off my natural nail with the cuticle remover tool while proceeding to ruin my natural nail. She did not apologize and continued to try to gaslight me into thinking this was normal. As I was inspecting my nails, she told me not to touch since they are now thin and fragile. The whole point of gel x extension is the quicker and easier removal. It is also the safer and healthier option. They still charged me for this. I understand that English was not her first language, but language barrier is not a factor when it comes to skill. read more

I have been coming here for around a year. There have only been a few times where I actually start my appointment on time. I have been asked to wait for over 30 minutes before when I had an appointment. One time they even asked me to come early and still had to wait for after my original appointment. These girls don't have a handle on the scheduling. Very unprofessional. The last time i went there they started on time however I will not be coming back. I wanted a new full set of acrylic gels. Started right away, however the women doing my nails was beyond slow and i was getting irritated as every hour pasted by and my nails were not close to being done. My friend came for her appointment and hour after me and finished before me. Toward the end i kept asking how much longer I have been here for over two hours. Then the women hurried and did a terrible job, didn't clean up my hands, glue everywhere. It was complete embarrassing for this establishment. If this was the first time something along these lines happened maybe I would brush it off, but there was no apology or explanation. I shouldn't have to request that a person NOT do my nails. I should be happy with any person there. Completely Unacceptable read more
