Who doesn't love the smell for fresh laundered sheets? That's exactly what this store smells like! I enjoyed being able to walk around and smell the different scents as well as try out their products at the bar. They have coffee beans through out, to cleanse your nasal passages, so you're able to smell the different fragrances. They were training new employees on my visit, so the customer service upon entering the store was lacking - this is a new store to our area, I'm a new customer and was never greeted, or asked if I had questions or given any explanation of their products. Some people don't mind being left alone to shop, but others want that attention. However, when I had a question and approached an employee they were eager to answer the questions I had. I purchased a set of dryer balls, shower bombs, shower oil, and whipped lotion and can't wait to use them! After my check out, I overheard one cashier mention to another customer about "spend "x" amount of money and save "x" amount of money." I'm not sure if I had already hit that threshold and that's why the cashier never mentioned it to me, but I'd recommend asking if they have any specials when entering the store, that way you'll know before checking out. They offer bath bomb or soap making parties - minimum of 10 people and a cost of $25/person. read more

Buff City Soap - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Evans, Georgia

Aesthetically pleasing store with calm blue green and whites. I unexpectedly came across this store while running errands in the shopping center. Buff City is located between Target and Kohls (smart move!). This location is currently in a soft opening, with a grand opening scheduled for the end of this month (October 2022). Everything in the store is clearly marked and well-organized. The employees are also very attentive. The store doesn't smell like a sick mixture of every scent like many body care stores tend to and they handmake the products in store, which is very impressive. I purchased a few soaps, a shave bar, a pack of dryer balls, and a pack of bath bombs. The soaps so far are very lovely and have a great skin feel and smell. The base price is $7 and the moisturizing versions with shea butter are $8. I have really liked all of the products except for the bath bombs. Although the bath bombs smell really nice, they do not bubble at all or affect the water's color at all. For that reason, I'd spend the money on a quality bath bomb or bubble bar from Lush for the full bubbly and overall experience in the bath tub. Definitely a nice place to keep some gifts on hand! I was also told that groups of 10 and over can do soap making parties in store. Overall, a nice addition to Columbia County! read more

Discovered on opening weekend: I stepped out of the house and stumbled upon this place. The lovelies: It has an eye catching sign and the smell immediately drew me in! The scents are truly lovely! You're actually encouraged to open everything up and smell them. They customize whatever you want to whatever scent you're in the mood for. If you want your laundry to smell like the shave bar you found on the shelf, they can do it. If you want your lip balm to smell like the body scrub you saw on the table, you do it. The displays are all clearly named and the colors are eye catching. The displays are neatly done and made me want to pick things up. The hand baskets they provide even have wooden handles and are flat so that when you rest it on your arm, it rests comfortably. I didn't see the restrooms but I was pointed in their direction for sampling the hand soaps. Honestly, I LOVE that nothing is animal tested either! That's a huge win for me! I will be trying out their laundry soap! All of the scents smell like heaven!! The not-so-lovelies: I felt extremely overwhelmed by the staff. It was evident that the goal was to provide great customer service and to greet everyone, but I must have been greeted by 8 people. All of them asked if I had questions. I kept saying I hadn't had a chance to formulate any yet and that I was feeling overwhelmed (by the number of employees greeting me). I would have been ok with a few less in-depth "here's what who we are, what we have, and what deals are going on" greetings and a few more smiles and simple "hey, how are ya's" Also, the store didn't seem very wheelchair accessible throughout. The front of the store was a bit congested so if you are using (or pushing someone in) a chair that has a wide base, this might be a challenge on a busy day like today. Also, if you have little ones who like to pick things up and play with them, you might find it a little cumbersome to visit. This store is a chain which the gentleman noted is one of about 10 or 11 stores across Georgia. The price of a bar of soap is about $7 which is comparable with Bath & Body Works. Lots of neat products. I think I'd come visit again, but to be honest, it made me want to go visit FIELD Botanicals. Great concept. I gave it 3 stars because I truly felt overwhelmed by the customer service. I didn't really have a chance to take it all in before someone else wanted to share the story of Buff City Soap. Also, I wasn't a fan of the approach of passing me a hand basket without asking. I felt somewhat pressured to buy things today. read more

Soaps bars have very little smell. Body butter is very thick and sticky. Shower oil. Same. Thick oil. Please, don't use this in your shower as it will leave a heavy residue to clean. I received these as gifts in the narcissist scent. I would not recommend them. Sorry, just not my thing. read more

I was shopping next door when I saw this new store and decided to pop-in. Once I stepped inside, I thought the shop was so cute. Everything was very organized, clean and it felt warm and welcoming. It also smelled very good, but not overwhelming. Shortly after we entered the store we were greeting by who I assumed was the store manager (I am bad with names) she explained what they did, what they sell and how each product worked. I was very, impressed! I had never heard of the company before and I didn't have to approach anyone to ask what the concept was. After her short explanation, she let us shop without hovering over us. Her customer service is why I bought something, she had me sold. I also have sensitive skin, so I usually don't purchase any specialty soaps, but I bought 2 bars of soap and 2 shower bombs. She said if I hand any skin issues just bring the soaps back. They were running a special 4 items for $20. Kinda pricey for everyday purchases but definitely great gifts ideas. I haven't have any issues using the soap on my skinI'm going back just for the customer service! read more

I was so excited about this store, but was ultimately disappointed. The store is beautiful, and the soaps colors are great, but they don't really have much smell. We went specifically to get some bath bombs for my daughter. There is a big sign on the front door that said Friday and Saturday hours they opened at 9. We got there at 9:58 and the lady working there acted annoyed we tried to open the door. We said the sign says you open at 9 and she said "no it doesn't". We pointed it out to her then she seemed very confused. She then proceeded to follow us around the store and pressure us into buying everything. I spent $50 on bath bombs, and they're honestly the worst bath bombs I've ever had. They hardly fizz at all, and didn't do much for my skin. Lush or Musee are 100 times better. It was a fun place to visit once, but due to prices and quality of the products I doubt I'll be back. read more

I have absolutely loved every bar of soap I've gotten from here. Im not a huge soap person(as in Im not picky as long as im clean and don't stink) but, this place definitely has the best soap I've ever used. Everything smells amazing and don't even get me started with the lather of the soap. I love me a nice lather when I shower and the soap definitely delivers. I highly recommend if your looking for something that both smells good, gets you clean and isn't astronomically priced. read more
