So happy to have found a nail salon in the neighborhood that I like. The staff is very friendly and the salon is clean and well taken care of. I have had zero issues with their service over the past few months that I've been going to Buff N File. They take appointments and have easily accessible parking. Pro Tip: GoldBar Coffee Shop is across the parking lot, just to the North. Grab a coffee before you come in. Great family run, local business. read more

I really enjoyed this place! They had a really nice atmosphere and a good clean set up. They were very nice and talkative with my sister and I. My only complaints would be that it was $100 for both of us which is a little much and I did get some small cuts while she filed down my nails. Other than that I would definitely return! read more

I've been going to Buff N File nail spa for almost a year, and they almost never disappoint! I had one poor experience with a nail tech, but that was an anomaly - everyone else I've had has been amazing. My dip-hybrid nails can last up to a month with zero chips! Every color on the wall has a gel version, so there's dozens of options for you to choose from. The interior of the salon is clean and trendy - complementary water on arrival, too! It's clear that the community has caught onto the goodness happening here, because it's frequently packed full and you might experience a wait for services if you don't call ahead for an appointment. read more

Came here for the first time based off of raving views from a bunch of friends. Everything was great from the start. I got a chunky glitter SNS manicure and it is textured differently than your standard glitter so I understand it may take a strategic technique to complete the color. The nail tech got was assigned to didnt seem accustomed to the type of glitter and my nail was left feeling sharp and grainy. The front host was so helpful in getting me squared away as well as the manager. I'm also personally not a fan of gel top coat on SNS because I find that it peels but she assured me she knows the correct technique to ensure the peeling doesn't happen. The fact that I was justified in being upset about my nails and it was corrected. That's amazing customer service! I did not leave feeling like I wasn't taken care of. read more

I had been here previously and Nia did a great job. However, for my second visit I did not have the same experience. My appointment as at 5pm and they closed at 6pm, although their Yelp page says they close at 7pm. Anyway, the the whole appointment felt very rushed and by the time she was done she left polish all over my hands and around my nails. I had to ask for acetone on a cotton pad to take it off myself because it didn't come off when I washed my hands. If you do end up going here just don't go before they close. read more

Pros: I got in quick on a Friday afternoon. It's new and nicely maintained. I believe the owner was the one who helped me sign in, she was pleasant and welcoming. Cons: As my tech was at another station grabbing a file and as he was talking to a coworker she immediately looked at me in the face while he was talking. Then when she noticed I was looking right at her then back at him her face became very guiltily. Then he had the nerve to do it again while grabbing my polish, different employee same response. Honestly I think he was upset that I jumped and said ouch while he was filing the gel from my toes. This is a practice I'm used to but I've never been burned or scraped until now. I just don't like the feeling of being talked about especially when I'm paying for a service. If you want to talk about me do after I leave read more

Just got a gel manicure and classic pedicure and I'm so impressed! I have been to many salons in my new neighborhood and this is officially my regular spot! Though the salon was busy, the staff took care of me quickly and I was seated almost immediately. Both Tom and my manicurist were perfect and their attention to detail is amazing! The classic pedicure includes more than I was expecting (massage, hot stones, warm towels) for an impressive price of $24. The shop has hundreds of colors to choose from and has everything labeled for easily mixing and matching regular and gel. read more

I would not recommend coming here. A young man in a Gucci hay did my nails and he didn't listen to what I want, when he filed my thumb crooked he wouldn't fix it and made me do it myself. When I made it straight it was shorter than the rest of my nails, but he was unwilling to file the rest to match. Finally, when he put the top coat on he didn't activate it beforehand so they came out not shiny and they took ten minutes to dry. When I asked why they weren't as shiny as when I get them done at other places he told me that dip was like that and isn't as shiny as acrylic. I haven't gotten my nails done at many other places and gotten smooth, shiny nails. Just don't come here. read more

David is hands down one of the best artists! He gets me in quickly even when I have a last minute appointment need! Personally, I am not super adventurous with either the shapes or color/design choices of my nails, and David helps me try new things all the time! He will file a single nail into a specific shape and let me decide whether I like them or not before continuing with the rest, and he will bring several different color choices for me to pick from. I never feel rushed, never leave with cuts, and my SNS lasts 3-4 weeks without any sort of breakage! read more

This is the only nail salon I will go to! After having some less than favorable experiences at other nail salons in the Mesa/Tempe area, I am SO glad to have finally found my go-to salon. Nancy, the owner, is super sweet and it's really obvious that she works hard. Although the place is fairly new, the salon gets a lot of traffic, probably because of the top notch service. I love how upfront they are with their prices, unlike other nail salons. Nothing shady going on here at Buff N File Nail Spa! Plus, the decor is SO cute and stylish. I can tell Nancy takes a lot of pride in her salon. You can get a stamp card if you pay in cash, and you get a stamp for every service that's $25 or above. Ten stamps gets you $20 off. They have a really wide selection of nail polish colors and several times they've offered me a water bottle. Thought that was sweet. I love going here, I'll never go anywhere else. read more

I Came September 5th. I didn't like the shape or design or service at ALL. I never wrote a review before... i had to settle for what the ladies Said they could do but still didn't deliver.. I mean look at the difference. This wasn't even what i originally wanted but the lady couldn't do the first look i came for i also came for a peddi but the girl took so long for this ugly set that they had to close by the time she finished messing my hands up. The picture on the left is what she said she could do,and the RIGHT was what she did. She Didn't even finish, and did crap of a shape job and kept messing up so she filed them so much they ended up 3 times shorter then what i asked‍ SO MUCH FOR MY BIRTHDAY NAILS. They still scammed me charged me $75 to f*ck my hands up. Didn't even clean my cuticles and took 3. 5 hours for this. 18 years of experience.. that's sad. The lady also kept saying she had to go because her son is waiting and she's late... HOW IS THAT MY FAULT!? And on top of all that CJ offered to fix my nails for $100 more since "her work didn't have nothing to do with him" yet work in the same shop... he laughed as he watched his co-worker screw my nails up. DON'T WASTE your money. They don't promote or put up their prices like professional salons do because they overcharge and scam for anything. They kept changing the prices and couldn't agree on anything until i mentioned i didn't like anything and kept telling the lady...to fix them every 5 minutes. I feel SCAMMED & robbed. I forgot to ask her name but the manager was also unprofessional as she wanted to charge full price for a botched job. Worst experience ever. I don't wish that on anyone. This SHOULD be illegal to charge. read more

This place is amazing! I accidentally got super thick acrylic nails at another salon, and they fixed them up, really brought down the thickness, filed them to a reasonable length, and basically made me feel normal again! David applied the gel, and he was quite the perfectionist! I tried the cat eye polish, and it is SO COOL!

The current General Manager COURTNEY is, without question, the worst I've encountered. COURTNEY is arrogant, dismissive, and completely incapable of taking accountability or resolving even the simplest customer concerns. Instead of de-escalating situations, COURTNEY makes them worse.

I wish I could rate David a 5 star since he always did a great job with my pedicure. He always asked what I wanted, if I like what he was doing so far, and if I was comfortable. The owner is always very nice, she always had great customer service. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for my manicures. I won't be coming to this spa anymore and it sucks because I have been coming for almost 3 years now. I spent $50 on my nails and did not tip. My nails did not come out close to what I wanted. I even showed pictures of what I wanted. The nail tech (CJ) said he had another client at 10 am when my appointment was at 9 am. He basically rushed through the process then rushed me out of my chair. His next client was already sitting in the chair when I came back from washing my hands. I never been rushed out like that before at any spa and was sad when I looked at my nails when I got home because it didn't look anything like I asked, on top of that spent $50 for them!! I felt like I was less of a customer than his other clients. Like I was less important. Before that, the nail tech tried telling me that I do not want to take off my current acrylic and should just fill them in since he had another client after me. I said no, I want something else. I came back 2 days later for my pedicure. The girl at the front desk had EXACTLY what I wanted. She said they used gel and airbrush on her nails and it looked just like photo I showed! I hate to stop coming here but I will no longer do business with them anymore. read more

I had made an appointment for 1:30 on Saturday for my boyfriend and I to get pedicures. We arrived 2 minutes early. We walk in and the chemical smell was overwhelming! They definitely aren't ventilated properly. That's not the worst part. We weren't even greeted. I walked up to the host stand, she had her back to us and she was talking to who I think was the owner working on someone's nails. She finally barely turned around and said "Go wash your hands!" I said, "Why? We are getting pedicures." She said, "So you can go pick out your color". I thought that was ridiculous. You can't spread Covid to a nail polish bottle. There was no place to sit and wait so we stood in the corner, then stood outside to get a little fresh air, and when 2 seats in the waiting area opened up we were told to sit down like we were bad children in trouble ( We're in our late 30's)! After sitting for 5 minutes and 20 minutes into what should have been our service, we just looked at each other and knew we were over it! We did not stay to get out pedicures. These people are rude and you should not spend any money here. Bring a gas mask! read more

Critical: Professionalism I went to get my nails done and this vulgar nail Tech who sits in the back on the left side, he wears a black baseball hat and black vans was cussing talking about MOLLY and other drugs. He made my visit very uncomfortable. I wonder if he kisses his mother with that mouth. Not only is he disrespecting himself but the establishment he works for. At one point the music went off and he put on the most profane music on his phone. Ironically he was talking about how this one customer wrote a bad review on how vulgar the music was. His response to that was "if you don't like it get the F***out "while explaining the situation to his customer! When the music was off he said it reminded him of church and thats when he put that disgusting music on his phone. Thank God the store music came back on right away... He Said "now they ( the salon) can only listen to pop", as if that was a disappointment. This guy needs Jesus! He has too much hate in his heart. Buff n file needs to hire more professional people. That Guy I think his name is CJ needs help, seriously. read more

I've been getting acrylics for 7 years now and CJ is hands down the best nail tech I've ever had. Nobody else even comes close. I am very picky with my acrylics and he does an amazing job every single time. Perfect shape, color & design no matter what I ask for. He is phenomenal with designs and can do literally anything you ask. I can be very indecisive and I'll let CJ pick what to do and he never fails to get it perfect every time. Not only is CJ amazing at his job but he's also the sweetest, most wonderful person. I look forward to going and getting my nails done. The pricing is very reasonable especially for the quality. I constantly get compliments and I will never let anyone else do my nails ever again. I love you CJ!!!! you can see his work on his instagram @nails_inaz_bycj or I've included pictures of some of my favorite sets he's done for me. Everyone in the salon is very friendly, clean and they've been doing an awesome job with COVID procedures. Best nail salon in Arizona!!!! read more

I have been going to CJ at Buff N File now for almost two years and that right there is a testament to how amazing he and everyone at this nail salon is. I was a serial nail salon jumper and always tried new technicians because I was never satisfied enough to keep going back to one location. After a friend introduced me to Buff N File and I had CJ do my nails, I never had to look anyplace else ever again. Not only is he personable, but he is talented beyond belief and can make your nail vision come to life. Whether you have I inspiration you want him to copy, or you do what I do and let him surprise you each time, he will not disappoint. On top of his amazing work, the nail salon is always clean, the owners are amazing, and you always feel so welcome going there. Truly the best nail technician in the best nail salon in Arizona!! read more

This is the first time I write a review and I am doing it because I am completely satisfied with what I got done. I Was looking for a good nail salon in my area and I came across Buff N File Nail Spa. I read multiple reviews before scheduling an appointment. I decided to book my appointment with CJ because most of the reviews said he was really good. CJ is great! He did an amazing job for both my sister and I. He went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied with our nails and his service. I recommend CJ 100%! Overall we had a great experience with everybody but CJ is definitely the star. read more

So many wonderful things about this place! Not only do you automatically feel welcomed as soon as you walk in but all throughout the nail service they make sure you're doing okay! I'm so happy to have the most amazing nail guy, CJ !! He is the absolute best and always brings my ideas and wants to life all while making sure I'm still liking what he's doing with every detail! And Tracy is a miracle worker when it comes to pedicures! I have a bad big toenail, but evened it out and covered it up with no problem! She definitely has a gift! I love this place and can't wait for my next appointment!! read more

Let me start by saying I lived in Arizona for two years and went to this nail salon every two weeks for the entire time I lived there - not only for their outstanding customer service but specifically for CJ. He is incredibly talented, an artist if you will and the sweetest most personable person I know. I moved back to Massachusetts and he still checks in on me to say hi once in a while (which goes to show he truly cares about his customers. I 10000% recommend this nail salon and highly recommend making an apt. with CJ you will not regret it! read more

I get my nails done about every 2-3 weeks, I'm not from around here so I've been going from salon to salon trying to find the one that fits ME. This was my first time at buff n file, my friend Liz and I went to get our toes and nails done and after my experience, I don't think I can go anywhere else. I had Kim do my nails, she had Ken... both did amazing it was a little more expensive than the smaller places around Tempe but not by much and the quality surpassed the other salons by a lot, I can't wait to come back!!

Ken did an amazing job on my full set. I showed him a picture of what I wanted done and he delivered perfectly! Ken was very detailed with his shaping and very gentle. By far the best manicure I have ever had! Not to mention, he was extremely kind and patient with me when I was being indecisive. Amanda also did an amazing job with my classic pedicure! She does exactly what you ask for. I will be coming here any time I need my nails done because the staff is amazing and always makes sure I am taken care of! I always walk out beaming. read more

Moving here from Florida back in March was hard enough to find a nail tech; Then add covid to the scenario and it was pretty impossible! CJ has been the best I have found here! It's hard when you've had the same nail techs for 10 years. I'll be the first to admit I'm picky about my shape and designs. CJ is always up for a challenge! He's extremely professional and yet personable, which is very important! I have had very pleasant experiences here from the receptionist; to the owner; and obviously CJ! 100 out of 100 read more

I just left this place, I had an awful experience. My pedicure was not pleasant whatsoever. He barely scrubbed my feet and when I asked for an extra coat of polish (because I could see the lines of unevenness) he looked at me disgusted and rolled his eyes. The person to do my full set had his phone ringing off the hook the whole time and seemed to be super annoyed the whole time. The set is absolutely awful, full of lumps and ledges under my nail that make it very uncomfortable. I am so disappointed in this place. read more

My mother and I have been coming to this place consistently for a little over 2 years now and We absolutely love them. The staff is friendly and welcoming, most of the technicians do great jobs and we've never had any problems. We love CJ and Leann (I believe this is her name) for nails and my mom loves Stevens foot massages. We haven't been able to book with them often due to covid but when we can we always leave satisfied. Thank you Buff n File for staying consistent and always getting us right! read more

I am aways pleased with my experience at Buff n File, especially with my main nail tech. I am very picky and David has never failed me in whatever color, style, and shape I want for my SNS. I have been going to him for almost two years now every 3-4 weeks religiously. I have also referred him to many of my friends that have also become regulars. I used to not have my nails last me or chip when I've gone elsewhere but not with David. I trust him to make sure my nails always look great. read more

I always see David when I get my nails done (pedicures and manicures). He is the best! I get a dip manicure about every three weeks with him, and I have never been disappointed! He always asks if there is anything that I would like him to fix before he is done (even though they are always perfect), and if one breaks because I am clumsy at work, he always fixes them! He makes excellent suggestions on shapes, colors, and designs! I recommend David to all my friends! read more

I started getting my nails done here a little over two years ago! When I started getting my nails done by David, they were in poor condition due to me doing them but David has done such an amazing job to revive my nails and make them stronger than ever and very pretty as well. While I usually only get my nails done by him, everybody who works there is amazing and very friendly!! 10/10 recommended David/Buff n File for anybody looking for a new nail salon! read more

It led me to Golden Nails Spa & I had an excellent experience here. You know what I really appreciated? The hospitality. Everyone smiled & was welcoming, from the one gentleman up front to the woman who gave me the pedicure & then the lady who answered the phone. This seems like something super simple, but I've been to nail salons where they are just not NICE. They are there to do the job but do not incorporate kindness & customer service...at a service-oriented business. Many nail techs seem like they REALLY dislike their jobs. And if you question how they're doing something to your hands or feet, or even ask?! They often act insulted. It's a fine line to tread. When it shouldn't be. I chose the VIP pedicure - see the menu! Treatment on my legs: * sugar scrub * hot stone massage * peppermint mask + hot towels * there was no paraffin wax for my feet but these other treatments made up for that Then "regular" stuff for feet: * soaking * cheese grating! * nail trimming & shaping - I asked for filing instead of cutting Thank you to Golden Nails Spa & "Ann" for a relaxing pedicure.

The manager who answers the phone and runs things did the WORST job on my nails. Instead of fixing it she tried to make excuses and said I hadn't JUST been in, laughed at me and made fun of me to the customers in the store. You wonder why you don't keep clients, I can give you a big long list. The only good nail techs are the 2 younger women and the one older woman. I came in late on Friday. They originally said they would do a pedicure and gel manicure. I got a pedicure from the older woman and she did a good job until she messed up and took a chunk out of my big right toe. Then they said, "oh you pay for both and come back tomorrow for gel manicure." I was a regular at this Nail Salon so I agreed. I went back and they were all just sitting around. The manager did my nails and they looked like crap. She didn't paint all the way down and then blamed it on my nail growth. Really?? I've included pictures of the chipped nail on a 6 day old gel manicure and the pedicure done the day before. It makes ZERO sense that she would tell me it was my nail growth when it was her poor work and I was upset about her bad work since the day she did it. They have lost a regular, every 2 weeks, customer because of how the female manager handled the situation. She should have fixed her poor work and done a good job like I paid for.
