Tessa was amazing! So methodical and great attention to detail while also consistently checking in about pressure level and my general preferences. This is seriously the best manicure I have ever received and it was the relaxing, warm environment made it all the better. The shape/color of my nails are spot on and exactly what I wanted. Sadly I don’t live in Edinburgh currently, but if I did, I would get my nails done by Tessa exclusively. Thank you for a wonderful experience and good luck with the rest of your training!

Buff is by far the best nail salon in Edinburgh. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else! I most regularly go to Ana and Holly, who are amazing, but chop and change appointments a lot and have never been disappointed with my nails, whoever does them. I strongly recommend Buff!

Best salon in Edinburgh. I've had appointments here with Evgeniy for manicure, Maryna for pedicure and Lesya for a haircut. I literally could not praise them enough. All of the staff here are lovely and highly professional. The prices are very good and competitive to other places in town. What makes this place stand out is the incredible attention to detail. The experience is fantastic each time I visit. A very happy customer. Thank you x

After 15 years living in Edinburgh I finally found a place where I can truly take care of my skin and body. I always feel welcomed here—the beauticians are kind, attentive, and highly professional. Weronika, the owner, is amazing: skilled, knowledgeable, and honestly a total badass 😎❤️. This time I had waxing, eyebrow shaping, and a vacuum massage. Everything was done with top-level professionalism, and I even received a little Christmas gift, which was such a lovely surprise. I highly recommend this place. Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄

Buffs St Ninians is a special place. The design is exceptional & is one of the nicest commercial spaces in Edinburgh. Your experience begins as soon as you enter the building. The service is exceptional with an experienced, engaged, friendly & knowledgeable team. When considering investing in some self care I couldn’t think of a better place.

I am always happy to visit Any! I always get the best service, relaxing conversation, and amazing manicure. She is a master when it comes to fixing a broken nail! Definitely recommending her work if you wish to treat yourself with great nails or if you need professional help fixing nail issues. Best in town.

Thank you for such a wholesome experience, I feel like a brand new person! Holly is an incredible professional, she made my nails and toes look so beautiful, I love the shape, I love the gorgeous red colour, I love how my cuticles feel! This is my second time at Buff; last time my manicure and pedicure lasted for 5 weeks, I was so impressed, so I came back and I absolutely loved it again:) The feet massage felt incredible after a crazy day at work as well! Looking forward to coming back!

Excellent holiday manicure and pedicure by Annie. Definitely the best nails I’ve had done in Edinburgh. Exactly what I was after and look even better than I had imagined.

I’ve been getting my nails done by Alix for well over 5 years and trust her with my life (and to give me the most crazy colourful gorg nail art to ever exist). If i don’t have an idea for my nails Alix certainly will and I have never left disappointed!! All the girls are so lovely and chatty, hands down most welcoming salon I have been to in Edinburgh 10/10 always <3 xxx

Best nail salon in Edinburgh! Never have a bad session here. All the girls are always so welcoming & the nails are always on point! Tea/ coffee is always offered as part of the experience and the tunes are always a vibe! Alix never misses, every nail design done to perfection & I always know it’s going to be a good therapy session too; she’s so personable. Cannot recommend enough 🫶🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Have followed Latifah from Edinburgh premises to Musselburgh, as she is fantastic, so gentle, kind manner, have a great chat but most of all the end product is amazing. Got a manicure and pedicure I was one happy lady. I can get my toes out for the summer weather. Thank you Latifah (a ray of sunshine) 💕🌸

The best nail bar in Edinburgh! I’ve been getting my nails done by Leila for over 5 years now and I have loved every single set. There is NOTHING that the woman can’t do!!! I have also had my nails done by Christina and those sets have been hella hot too!!

The best nail art in all of Edinburgh (probably all of UK!). Tara is the absolute best!!

Hannah is the best in Edinburgh. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

First visit to East Coast Waxing Edinburgh, really happy with my eyebrow wax and tint from Aimee. Will definitely make another appointment.

This year I started seeing Laima for anti ageing and cleansing facials and already see results. I'm confident to say Laima is the best beauty professional in Edinburgh. No appointment is the same with Laima - every session is tailored to my skin needs. And that's be because she is so experienced and pays attention at every detail. Laima radiates calm and positive energy which makes me so relaxed and I leave the room always feeling re set and re energised. Honestly the best part is the little massage she gives while some mask is applied - she does it so gently that her hands feel like feathers.

Amira was very welcoming and friendly. My luxury pedicure was amazing! I also got biab done with nail art and my nails are stunning! We worked together to come up with an idea and it was completely perfectly.
