Nail Doctor & Spa

Horrible service! They people here talk crap about you in Vietnamese and then try to compliment you in English. Very very disappointed and angry !

Being from out of state, I decided to come here after reading other positive reviews. This is, by far, the best experience I’ve ever had in a nail salon !
Before going on a beach vacation, I decided to have a gel manicure. Emma did a great job on my pedicure, and she listened when I told her that my feet are sensitive, and that this was my third pedicure in my entire life .
After sharing with her how, in the past, I had been cut during a pedicure in Baton Rouge, she then understood my anxiety. Also, I am a nurse, and sanitation is important in any salon .
These people met and actually exceeded my expectations ! Kim did my manicure, but all of the workers here do a good job.
Though they do chat with each other, this did not impact the quality of the professional job they both did. They were very careful to be gentle, and the massage pedicure chair, and warm welcome I received was above and beyond any salon experience I have ever experienced .
These workers deserve kudos … And I gave each girl a large tip… And when I left, they hugged me goodbye and suggested that I move to the area … It was worth every dollar that I spent!
I truly appreciate the reviews that others have posted on Unilocal because it sent me to me to this wonderful nail salon.
The next time I’m in town I will definitely be back here!

Love love it here! They do an excellent job! Ask for nancy! I’m very particular about gel manicure and Nancy does the best job every time! They last and look great! Highly recommend this place, clean, affordable and friendly!

Love Kevin on my nails and really enjoy the pampering of their pedicure while he does his work on my hands!

Love this place. Ask for Nancy, she knows exactly what I desire every single time. Not only are my maniures awesome, just wait for the pedicure, you’ll sure be in heaven.

The woman who gave me my manicure was rude, preoccupied, and overall rude. When putting on my acrylic nails, she put the glue past my cuticle, sloppily painted them, and sent me on my way. She didn’t speak to me, and was very bland.

Love this place! Kevin is my favorite guy! He is fast, but takes his time to understand what you want. When I tell him I want my nails short he cuts them short, and doesn’t leave them long like most nail salons. He also puts up with me when I walk in and have no clue what color gel polish I want. He even helps me pick. The other lady’s are always friendly and ask how I’m doing! Great place!

The worst! This was my first and last time here. The lady on my manicure was obviously irritated because I told her she had applied the acrylic nails crookedly, told her I didn’t want gel on acrylic for an upsell, and that my nails weren’t shaped like I prefer. She was unfriendly and seemed short throughout.
I wanted a subtle color on my hands, different from my pedicure which is what I do often. Somehow got talked into matching hot pink on both. Now my nails look like I don’t have a day job and/​or I belong in a music video.

I just moved to Buford and decided to try out Nail Doctor. I got a pink & white and a pedicure. I’ve been three times and unfortunately I will not return. On this last visit my left big toe was shaped square and my right toe was round and much longer (so much longer it looks awkward). My pink and white was so disappointing. 3 of my nails were crooked. I said something a couple of times, but the tech seemed annoyed. I am not one to make a scene. I went home and tried to file them. Perhaps, it was because she did them at the same time as my pedicure.
I will say they all greet you always say hello. They seem very pleasant until you point out something that you feel should be corrected.

Not a friendly group. No smiles. Owner has no personality at all. The girl that did my pedi was friendly Owner took over midway through thru the mani. Had nothing to say to me. Not friendly at all. Hey, Nail Doctor, my money is good anywhere. I suggest that you be friendly to your customers. I’ll go elsewhere Don’t waist your time here.
Nothing special at this salon.

I have been coming here for a few years, and I can’t say enough great things about this place! Kim does my gel manicures and pedicures, she is amazing! I’ve also had Kevin, Nancy, and Lynn do my nails — all have done great as well. The super deluxe pedicure is 40 dollars, and it is the most relaxing and awesome pedicure ever! (don’t come on weekends, you really miss out on them taking their time if you come when its busy). Their gel manicures are also fantastic ($ 25)! I find that if I get the IBD or OPI brand gel — it lasts at least 2 weeks. The Gelish brand — I have had trouble with. Anyway, I highly recommend!!!

So i just moved to the area and decided to explore my local nail salons. I started here, based in my experience I think I’m going to keep exploring.
I gave them 2 stars because my pedicure technician did do a good job. I got a deluxe spa pedi which included a hot stone massage, which I didn’t really care for.
My mani technician I cared more about her conversation with the guy doing my toes then she did about my mani. She was so into her conversation (which was in Vietnamese) that she cut me! Anyways I can deal with being accidentally cut, but if you cut me and make me bleed because you are too busy talking and can’t even bother to stop your conversation for a second to acknowledge the fact that you screwed up and at least apologize I have a problem. I just think it’s rude to talk for 30 min straight about who knows what and not even make an effort to talk to your paying customer. Oh and I didn’t even receive the massage that comes with the mani, it must have slipped her mind. Long story short I left my pedi tech a $ 4 tip because he was chit chatting the whole time too but at least he didn’t cut me and completed the described pedi package. But my mani tech I have her $ 2 and boy was she upset. She just snatched my tip and walked off no thank you come again nothing sorry for cutting, just nothing. And if you’re wondering if she knew English, she did. She spoke it pretty well wen she was up selling.

The salon is decently clean. The people are nice but not the friendliest. They do not want to listen to what you have to say.
My mom and I went in for a mani and pedi. The technician who did my nails was clearly preoccupied. She was not paying attention at all. She nicked my fingers, causing me to bleed. After she painted my nails, she refused to clean off the excesses side of my fingers. I could have painted my hands by myself. After she was finished painting. She walked away and snickered among other employees in her native language.
This place was not relaxing or calming.
I do not think ill be coming to Nail Doctors again.

Best spa pedicure I have ever had. (Much better than the spa resort, Château Élan at a fraction the cost) Manicure was awesome as well!
I got a deluxe spa pedicure for $ 30 which included a callus treatment, hot stone massage on feet and lower legs as well as exfoliating treatment and a foot masque. My feet and legs felt amazing afterwards. The spa is very sanitary and I love that they line the foot baths with a plastic liner so every guest gets a clean and sanitary bowl. I got regular polish on my toes, it’s perfect and still looks new two weeks later.
The manicure was well done as well, and includes and mini shoulder and neck massage. The gel polish I got on my nails still looks amazing two weeks later.
This will definitely be my go-​to nail salon from now on!

It was my first time here a few days ago, and I came because I read all the positive reviews. The workers didn’t greet me nicely as all the reviews say. They weren’t mean, but they weren’t friendly either. My technician was quiet for the most part, and when she spoke it was to talk to the other technicians in their native language.
As for the actual service itself, it was not «bad». I got the $ 30 deluxe pedicure, and she used hot stones to massage my legs. She massaged my legs for a long time (which is fantastic normally), but she did not put a single pressure to the hot stones against my legs. So it was more like a «hot stone rub» rather than a massage. To be completely honest, I didn’t feel a thing. It was not satisfying at all. It was neat to feel the warmth of the stones, and also it was new. because nail salons usually don’t use hot stones for pedicures. However, actually getting to enjoy the massage? I was just waiting for it to be over. I rather skip the leg «rubbing». I enjoy a massage.
My technician’s hands were real strong though, because for the very short time that she was putting the exfoliating scrubs on my legs, I was like. «Wooo yeah! This is good». But it was very short lived, and that massage never came back.
All the rest were fine. Shaping, painting, they were fine. The only main concern with me. Which is the reason why I’ll most likely never go back, is that I have two in-​grown nails. ***I know those hurt normally, and I can handle the pain. But this lady, she dug and cut my skin, and made me bleed. Okay, I KNOW that when we are cutting out in-​grown nails, that sometimes, they are very deep. and bleeding is unavoidable. This lady really did not cut mine right though. She just cut my skin off, and in the end, she didn’t cut my ingrown off. It was still left there, and in worse condition. My toe is still really swollen right now, and very sore when I touch it even the slightest bit. I had to go to another nail salon to get rid of the in-​growns today, and thank goodness it’s finally gone. But because of the technician from Nail Doctor, my toe has been swollen and every time I push it, it seems like pus is coming out.(In other words, I got an infection.)
:/​
Overall, would I recommend this place?
Sure. I would still recommend it to friends AS LONG as they do NOT have in-​grown nails. Be sure to ask for a good massage though. Honestly I can live without the hot stones.
If you do have ingrowns, then opt for another place.

first time customer ~ clean, very professional and customer service is amazing ! Will be coming here as a regular from now on.

Had the spa pedicure and full set of nails done by Kim for pedi and Lisa for mani. Great job by both! Very friendly yet professional. Will be my regular place from now on.

I got a full set by Lee and my nails look awesome. She is my new nail lady. Lee is professional, friendly and detail oriented. The shop is very clean and sanitary. I’m glad I found this place.

Excellent service — friendly employees — reasonable pricing. Highly recommended!

This is by far the best nail salon I have ever been to! The ladies who take care of me were so sweet and friendly. They make every effort to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Their painting skills are off the charts, too. Highly recommend the Nail Doctor!
