Le Nails

Le nails offers a student discount which is pretty great! Came in for a fill in for tips, and it only came out to 13 dollars for the first time, and 18 every time after that. Keep in mind, they are very crowded because of its proximity to UB campus. Staff was friendly, and the salon was clean!

Very clean! I brought my own polish but they have a huge selection and I ALMOST picked one of theirs instead. Mine was hologram though so that obviously won. They’re very attentive to what they’re doing and to making you feel comfortable. They don’t mind re-​filling your glass while you’re sitting in the pedicure chair. It was a little pricey but the service was great and my feet look beautiful.

WORST EXPERIENCE
Service was awful and the price was very high! I will never go here again. The lady who did my nails told me she couldn’t use polish for a French manicure even though she was still going to charge me for the full price. She told no and continued to do my nails. I could believe the service, it was horrendous!!!

Made an appt for Friday afternoon. Arrived and was very surprised by the condition of the salon. It was dirty and a mess. One employee was getting her hair dyed and washed by another employer when she had a client! The woman who I was scheduled with was busy talking to another employee the whole time I was there about their dinner reservations after work. I asked for a gel manicure and she wouldn’t cut my nails. She applied the gel polish on my lap, not a table! She put the polish on too thick and I asked her to fix it, since I knew it would peel off. She didn’t fix. And she left gaps along the tops and sides of my nails without polish! Horrible service and horrible quality. I will not be returning. My nails all peeled off today they lasted 2 days! Not 2 weeks!

I stopped by last week for a pedi because of the great reviews. The staff was nice and the salon was clean, but the pedicure that I received was below average and more expensive ($ 31) than other nail salons I’ve been to in the area. I probably won’t go back.

The woman who runs the show is super sweet! Very accommodating! Awesome job on my nails and eyebrow wax. $$$$ though. $ 50 seemed like quite a lot for a fill, design, and eyebrow wax. My friend paid $ 30 for the almost exact same…
Pros: amazing people, clean atmosphere, good work.
Cons: $$$

The Good: wonderful staff, owner is delightful. relaxed atmosphere. great pedicure. personal kit. student discount. new customer discount (can you tell I like discounts). sweet massage chairs.
The Bad: prices list not accurate
Bottom Line: friendly /​fun atmosphere to go get some quality pampering.

Love this place. Nail polish stays forever… give great, long leg and foot massages… paraffin included… great prices… never feel rushed! Ahhhh!

My rating is based on the type of place this is — a nail salon (NOT a spa or hair salon that does nails).
I work at UB North so I was looking for a place to grab a quick pedi on lunch. Le Nails was perfect!
I usually frequent more expensive places with groupons or similar deals — this is def not a spa setting nail joint. Almost everyone else there was getting fills and the air smelled pretty strongly of all those fake nail chemicals.
That being said, the employees were SUPER friendly and the owner (at least I think she was the owner) pulled open a new box of nail polish that had just arrived in the mail and encouraged me to try one of her newest colors. A refreshing change from the old polish with thinner poured into it that salons are always hoping you’ll use up for them! She also was talking to an employee and later, a customer, about improvements she plans to make — and ones she really wishes she could make. It was nice to see her taking so much pride in her business.
My pedicurist didn’t speak English very well (or was at least very shy) but he was clean, fast, and neat about his work. I was really happy with my results and will be returning for my next pedi!
