BUFF REVIEWS
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.
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’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!

ALL ABOUT EVE REVIEWS
I’ve been coming here for a few years for hair, nails and brows. The girls are all so lovely and brilliant at what they do. Eve is a master of nails and has trained many of the girls herself to her own high standard. I started coming to the salon after I had my first baby and there were times I had to bring him and it was never any trouble. There’s always a great atmosphere in the salon and it’s generally just a lovely place to be. Always been delighted with anything I’ve had done.
I am a nail biter and got a full set of gel overlays. I was quite anxious about getting my my nails. From the moment I walked the door everyone was lovely. Ruta did a fantastic job on my nails! For the first time in my life I feel I have pretty nails! So glad I went
Love this place - the ladies are all friendly and provide excellent service. Katy is particularly great for shellac manis, she's so meticulous and is great conversation. I always leave here happy and feeling well looked-after.

THE NAIL YARD REVIEWS
Megan took time with me when I wanted umpteen different colours & sparkles & recommended which polishes come out better for my needs. She was brilliant doing my random pattern requests. She was funny & chatty & then quiet when I got all relaxed after the gorgeous foot & hand massages she gave me. Her assistant Coral was friendly & helpful too. The salon has a lovely chilled vibe & nice decor. I’m feeling totally ready for my holiday - fabulised and relaxed, thankyou so much!
My twin daughters 12th Birthday was beautiful, relaxing, calming and fun thanks to Claire and the girls at The Nail Yard. The girls got the teenage gel manicure treatment done. My husband got the fitness pedicure done. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone. What a pleasure it was .
Megan is the best nail technician I’ve had. She always makes me feel so welcome and at ease. I never leave the place without having laughed my head off. Love her!
