I love Rip Lash at Buff Salon!!!! Their customer service is excellent i have been a customer of Buff Salon since the age of Thirteen and I'm now Eighteen years old so it's been five years since I've been rocking with this nail salon. Ms.Chris is very professional and has been in this business for awhile she cares for every customer and makes sure that you feel comfortable. Over the years i have seen her go from various tiny little rooms to having a full nail salon to call her own. Her creativity is definitely on another planet i have had so many different nail themes such as Jolly Ranchers,Nicki Minaj,and Barbie nails. She does just about anything you can come up with.This salon provides other needs such waxing and make-up application. Her price are relatively moderate but that's because she uses nothing but top of line products. She uses Tammy Taylor products and has many different color acrylics such as clear,white,pink,peach and many more. At traditional nail salons which are ran by Chinese/Asians they don't have many colors to select from. When i say this salon has just about any kind of color you can think of it i mean it. There is two nail racks on the wall for you to choose colors from then at each nail techs stations there is a rack full of colors you choose from. Not many salons have a lot of gel polish not this nail salon they have just as much regular nail polish as they do gel polish. She has other nail techs who works with her and they all specialize in different things. So,if you are into gel manicures you would be sent to Ms.Laila she specialize in natural nail care. The salon environment is very fun and calming. The salon is different so girly and is painted light pink and grey. This salon allows No CHILDREN!!! UNLESS THEIR BEING SERVICED!!! So if you planning on visiting the Salon please make sure that you make proper arrangements for your child. If you make an appt. you are required to make a $20 deposit which goes towards your services. This Nail Salon also participated in the 2014 Hoodie Awards with Steve Harvey!!! I could go on and on about this Nail Salon but i won't but i would definitely recommend this nail salon to anyone!!! I LOVE RIPLASH AT BUFF SALON!!!

I visited BuffSalon last week and my experience was far from "the BEST SERVICE" as they state on all of their Instagram posts. I could tell my from the moment that I walked into their salon that I was not going to be pleased. I had a 5:30pm appointment set and was very excited to finally get a fresh manicure. As my friend and I entered we were not greeted by warm welcomes, instead by blank faces and the smell of a poorly ventilated facility. All three of the workers were busy with other clients, but instead of just looking at us we could have been welcomed. Fast forward one hour I am still waiting to be taken care of and not a word from any of the workers. Two people have walked in and were taken (and also greeted) I am not sure if this is how you guys treat your new clientele but it is ridiculous. I work in the customer service industry and I can tell you people would be fired for treating customers this way. The woman who did my nails seemed tired and not interested in how they came out. The fill in & paint job were sloppy and 4 days after my appointment my right ring finger nail started lifting. I can promise I would never return and never recommend this shop to anybody. There was one lady who was doing great though, great designs, fill ins and being very personable, unfortunately she was not the woman who saw me.

I had my appt at 1..got there at 1245 and still didn't sit in a chair until 115. So I got the sculpting and pedicure and the one doing my nails didn't know what she was doing and though I was patient with her, the owner never tried to see how everything was going until after the girl had messed up almost all my nails, it had gel all under the nails and everything. Needless to say with all the gel that was built up under my nails within a week 2 of my nails popped off. And I'm all about supporting black businesses but not if you're charging more than if I go to a vietnamese nail shop or whatever. Like I was charged an arm and a leg. Plus never knew that they can use tips for the gel but sculpting cost more so they say they can only do sculpting so they can get all the money plus still have to pay for the length. A longer length is more as well but if you're sculpting my nails anyway why would I pay you for making a nail up on a form anyway?? Any how I would not recommend anyone to go here unless you're rich and don't mind being charged a lot of money for things you really don't need

I've been trying to get to Chris for 2yrs. Saw her amazing transformations on Instagram and knew I needed change. I got a last minute appt accommodated and i went in. This wasn't my 1st time with a black nail technician, but 1st time in Charlotte finding one. From the time i walked in, she treated my like family. Treated me like I've been a customer for years. I appreciated that. She educated me on my nails and the cons of what others have done wrong with my nails. I was awakened. After her magic was done, my nails felt lighter, looked fabulous and i finally felt a sigh of relief because I now have a new nail home. She does fantastic work and she cares about us as a person, not just our nails. She is relatable and so very down to earth. I recommend most definitely.

I can't say enough about this nail salon....I am one of it's biggest fans. Everyone is extremely talented and knowledgable about their craft. From the moment I first got my nails done by Chris I knew I would be hooked forever! It is clear that they love what they do...the passion shows in their work. I love my nail tech Ms.Chris...she is the bomb! The first time I ever felt like someone truly cared about my nails. Excellent customer service...always a fabulous finish! No questions ... If...ands or buts...if you need your nails done this is the only place you should be. If not you are missing out ❤️ Now book ur appointment already! As long as I have nails this is where I will be!

When I came to Chris I knew she would have a fight on her hands dealing with my nails. After years of going to less than quality nail places in Charlotte I decided to look for an African American nail salon for many reasons and I came across RipLash at BuffSalon and while I just completed my second visit I will say that I will continue to be a client as long as I have hands! The care and quality of techniques as well as the top notch products have allowed my nails to grow an prosper. The conversations we have are genuine and I’m so thankful that I found Chris at RipLash at BuffSalon!!!!

RipLash at Buffsalon definitely seprates itself from the average nail salons around Charlotte. The salon is decorated within a more modern chic twist and is well oraginzed. The staff alone is quite friendly and warm welcoming. Lele was the individual who compeleted my color change and soak off. She was a sweetheart, very concerned of my nail sensitivity and was quite quick but yet efficient. If you want southern hospitality, gorgeous mani, pedi, full set, etc., and a great laugh; book an appointment here. Please just keep in mind this is an appointment based salon.

Stay away from this place of . They will overcharge. I received a fill in from buffs salon , one design and mood changing polish that was cheap because it was streaking and coming off. She charged me $88 then refunded my money which came to $74. Then the nail technicians have their own individual prices , if you don't order off their online site of what you want you want, you might be spending more than what you should have been spending , this is because when they make the receipts they don't always show everything of exactly what your getting. Buyers beware.

I received Excellent service every appointment at BuffSalon. Mimi is my nail technician and she keeps outdoing herself every time. On the day of this review she gave me a pedicure and as usual I was in love with the results. I wish is was warm so I could show off her work. I love how she is meticulous to detail and most importantly she takes her time. I always end up falling to sleep during my session. If you want a relaxing manicure or pedicure, schedule an appointment with Mimi & tell her I sent you!! Merry Christmas.

Riplash at Buff Salon is by far the most professional, clean, high quality nail salon is Charlotte. I started watching Chris nail posted on Instagram. And have been a loyal customer for the last 5yrs. It is such a pleasure to be able to have positive conversation in a positive environment and walk away with beautiful creative healthy nails. I am always getting complaints on how lovely my nails look. Chris is extremely friendly, warm and truly care about nail health. I highly recommend this salon.

In these uncertain times it’s hard to find a place you can trust. It’s so important to support small business owners and I love coming here. They use the most high quality products and superior sanitation standards with the utmost care for your nail health. I highly recommend this business for all nail services. Natural nails, sns, gel, acrylic, Swarovski and every color you can imagine they have!! Thank you for my beautiful nails and pedicure!

Mrs. Chris and her staff were very courteous and professional from the time I entered the business until I left. I came in specifically for a pedicure and left with very much needed therapy session I had been having an extremely bad day and Mrs. Chris and the stuff provided me with not just a comfortable satisfying experience but they helped me end my troubled day with a bang. I can't thank Mrs. Chris, MiMi and Tiahna enough.

I have been a loyal customer with Buff Salon for 3 years. I consider myself blessed to have found a nail salon that reminds me of home. The creativity and professionalism is top notch. I always learn something new! It isn't just about the the art of nails. They are also focused on the health of your nails. Each nail professional is well skilled in their craft. You will never be disappointed.

This by far is the best place to get your nails done in Charlotte! I’ve been going to Chris for almost 2 years and have never been disappointed. Her professionalism is top notch and she really takes care of your nails! Best products and trust me when I say you won’t find better products and best person to do your nails in Charlotte! Love Chris and this place!!!

I had an incredible experience at Buffsalon! I used the app to book and it was a super streamlined process. The salon was extremely clean and there were many processes in place for Covid. Chris was outrageous. She was professional, friendly and my nails look incredible. I can’t wait to go back for a fill! Thank you Chris and Buffsalon!!!

This was my first visit to Buff Salon/Rip Lash and will not be my last! Very clean, professional, awesome products and very knowledgeable. My nails look fantastic! I’m finally at nail peace and can’t wait for my next visit. If you’re looking for an awesome salon, great atmosphere..... check them out! You will not be sorry.

What can I say!!??? Chris is the absolute best nail salon owner in the city of Charlotte!! I’ve never had an issue of time, cost of service (it’s worth every penny) or professionalism and I’ve been a client for 4 years. I don’t see myself letting anyone else touch my nails ever!! I always tell people “get you a Chris!!!”

Wow! I am speechless. Chris did such an amazing job on my nails. I had a vision in mind - Chris educated me on the different type of techniques. She asked questions to make sure the suggested technique would fit my day to day life. I'm glad I found this gem. *Also - she told me about a crabcake place that is amazing

Great salon atmosphere and highly skilled nail technicians. The online booking system makes the overall experience fantastic. Mara is always on time & ready at my appt time and takes pride in her work. I definitely recommend Buff Salon for anyone who wants great service and healthy beautiful nails.

Soooooo Sorry..got a new app on my phone made a big mistake hit the wrong button..I have been getting my nails done at the salon for almost 2yrs. The service is great!!! Quick..professional...great environment..Shout out to my wonderful nail tech Kathy!!! And #1 Boss lady Chris. See you next week.

I JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SERVICE AND STAFF AT RIPLASH. THIS YEAR WILL BE MY 2ND ANNIVERSARY WITH THE LOVELY CHRIS. NO MATTER WHAT CITY OR STATE (PLANNING ON GOING OUT THE COUNTRY SOME DAY) I AM IN I ALWAYS RECEIVE THE MOST WARMING COMPLIMENTS. CHRIS AND HER STAFF ALWAYS GIVE 5 STAR SERVICE!!!

Chris is an amazing nail tech and business owner who always gives you a personal and professional welcome the moment you walk into the shop. I truly appreciate RipLash's atmosphere and a warm smile after a long day of work. I have been a customer for 3 years and each year has been amazing!

Searched for a really long time for a nail salon that could focus on supporting the health of my nails and I found just that. My nails are thriving and I love the products that are used here and the owner really makes you feel at ease and at home and caters to the needs of her clients.

If I could Leave 100 stars, I would. From the owner , to the service, and the music. Everyone was so friendly . I’m in love with my nails and I will definitely return ! A bunch of beautiful and talented women whom put their heart into their work and enjoy doing it ! Highly recommend !

I started going to Chris in October of last year...and I have been pleased with her exceptional service. Every upcoming visit I get excited to see what she will come up with. Not only is she a great tech she is a great listener who opinion I value. I highly recommended her to anyone.

Absolutely Love EVERYTHING about Buff Salon!! Chris is the best her work is Top Notch PeriodT. Been going to her for almost 6 years and always experienced Great Services! Oh & by the way everyone Sweats My Nails & Toes too‍♀️ Love her She is the best HANDSDOWN!!

I am a current Buff Beauty student, this school is phenomenal as well as the instructor. Mrs. Chris is very informative and gives you all the necessary informative information you need to become a licensed nail tech. The school has a 100% passing rate, therefore I highly recommend.

Chris is great at what she does, very professional and stays up on the latest styles and trends. I have been going to her on and off for 4+years. Sometimes my schedule doesn’t allow me to get to her as often as I’d like. She is the best. Book in advance, she stays booked and busy.

I thought the girls were very sweet and professional but my only issue was what I paid for my service was way too much . the money I paid and I never question my bill. My nails could’ve been better and my pedicure is coming off already I left 10 Minutes ago. Wouldn’t recommend !

Today was my first time going!!! It was a great surprise. The women were incredibly friendly and helpful. Kathy did my nails (which I keep really short) and we were able to still make them look special and unique! I would highly recommend her and just this salon in general!

Called and got an appointment for a pedicure the same day. They welcomed me in and made me feel like part of the family and my toes are something fierce. This is definitely my spot from now on when I come to Charlotte. Also check out the scrubs and butters. 5 stars fo sho!

From setting an appointment to the day of service, professionalism and quality of service was top notch! You can look forward to a chic atmosphere that is relaxing and inviting! The products are great quality and create long lasting beautiful nails!

Chris never disappoints with my nail services her work is always beautiful & I receive loads of compliments. The products she uses are high quality and built to last. I absolutely love this salon and will not allow anyone else to touch my nails.

My apologies Mrs. Chris you know your service is 5 Star! EVERYONE within your staff takes care of me (mimosas, great customer service, etc.) I look forward to coming back Saturday and so forth! Blessings to you and your business …

I really enjoyed my time with Chris. She has a great personality. My only complaint are the shape of my nails. After I left, I realized a few of them were uneven. Other than that, I liked how they turned out.
