What is the difference between a classic and a signature manicure?
A classic manicure has been designed as the perfect ongoing maintenance service for your nails whereas our signature service is a premium offering where we spend additional time getting your nails in tip top condition and best suited to those of you who haven’t had a manicure in a while or have specific problems you’d like targeted. You can view all our services here.
What is long-wear performance polish?
Our performance polish, by Dazzle Dry, is a 4 step system designed to be applied like a traditional nail polish/lacquer yet formulated to be considerably longer-wearing with the added bonus of air drying in 5 minutes (no fans, no lamps). We have had clients last over 2 full weeks before any signs of chipping or wear and tear have appeared. We believe it is far superior to your standard nail polishes/lacquer and have chosen to hone in on this as our choice for polish at Buff.
Why don’t you offer SNS?
SNS is a powder based acrylic and requires a dipping process for application. Due to the hygiene issues related to this application we have chosen not to include it as a part of our service menu. If you like the durability of SNS we would guide you to select our “Super Gel Manicure” service, it is long wearing and can be infilled every 3-4 weeks or simply soaked off.
SNS or Shellac ruined my nails!
A myth we would love to dispel! Products aren’t ‘bad’ per se for your nails, incorrect nail preparation and incorrect removal are what causes damage to your nail plate. With that said some products do perform better than others as do nail technicians. We exclusively use high performance, quality products here at Buff that we have extensively researched and feel are the best on the market. We also have a team of highly trained and certified nail technicians.
