“Best gel manicure I’ve had in years thanks to Teresa and Nancy! Day 6 and it looks just as good as when I walked out of the salon. They squeezed in my last-minute appointment request with a smile and provided outstanding customer service, too. I’ll definitely be back next time I visit NOLA!“

“Best experience I’ve ever had, and I have been to a lot of nail salons throughout the country. The nail tech was very efficient, professional, skilled, and I had the best time talking to her. My nails look fantastic! Seriously, the best they have ever looked! Wish I took a before picture to show what she was working with! The nail salon is very clean!As a side note, it’s appointment only. Personally, I like that policy because it limits the number of customers in the salon and makes the experience more enjoyable.“

“The wait time was very minimal. Dr. CLARK took time to assess my needs, actively listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions, came up with an action plan to suit my needs, had a great attitude and made the visit very comfortable. This was an overall great doctor visit and I will continue to use this provider.“

“EVERY single time I’ve been to this salon, I’ve always felt super welcomed & gotten the queen treatment for sure. Everyone is always all smiles, super friendly, sweet and accommodating. The atmosphere is super bright as well so if you’re having a bad day & walk inside, you’ll definitely be in better spirits and I love that. Thats why I’ve continued to come back because the customer service is unmatched. I’ve never been anywhere w/this level of service.BUT I have to say every single time I’ve been, I’ve had an issue. First time, my nails started to look really bad after only two days. Second, I couldn’t get my nails how I wanted them because the tech said she didn’t have time & all I wanted was a French tip. Third, my nails were really discolored and odd looking after only ONE day. Fourth, I set a morning appointment and I got a text from the stylist saying my appointment had to be changed to an evening appointment because of scheduling issues. I’m so sad to not be able to give this salon 5 stars because all the service providers I’ve encountered are truly the sweetest service providers I’ve ever worked with but I just can’t look pass these issues.“

“This was my first time here. I’ve been to many nail salons across the country and can honestly say, my nail tech Hannah was by far the best I’ve ever experienced.

“I have been getting amazing work done with the team for years and love the new salon uptown! Very easy to park and get in/out of! The attention to detail everyone has to something very hard to find! The prices are higher than cheaper salons but you get what you pay for in my opinion... it's worth it! If there is anything you aren't happy with tell them in the moment and they will change it!“

“I discovered Blanc Beauty Bar after moving home to New Orleans last year. They are my absolute gem. The only salon I will go to. They listen, care and are very understanding. Every tech is absolutely amazing. Mai and Sarah do the prettiest designs as well. The quality is great and my nails and pedicures always last! The environment is relaxing as well as it is appointment only so for my people with anxiety this is the place for you!“

“I am new to the New Orleans area. I previously went to a nail salon located around the corner from Lash Lounge (I don’t recommend them for lashes). I hated my nails & needed them redone & definitely would not go back to the place I had them done at. I happened to be in the neighborhood & found “Who Dat Nails l.” Im glad I stopped in. Ms Kim did my pink& whites perfectly. She shaped them so cute& I get nothing but compliments.“

“Felt very obligated to leave this review because I don't think my engagement photos would have turned out even half as great without Kim encouraging me and leaving me with an amazing Blow Out.I was in town visiting and also getting my engagement photos done when I woke up the last day, right before our shoot, with food poisoning. I was just trying to make it the best I could even though I felt horrid. Upon walking in for my appt, Kim could tell I wasn't feeling 100% and immediately started offering suggestions or remedies to help. Since I was the only one in the salon, she even put the A/C on blast for me and brought me a hand fan and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible throughout the entire service. Close to finishing with my hair, I said something like "I can do this" and Kim was just so sweet and said some of the most encouraging words to give me the final push of energy I needed. My hair looked amazing even if I didn't feel that way and even as I was walking out the door, she told me one more time "You got this. It's only one hour and the photos are going to turn out amazing!"Kim, how right you were! Without her (and my photographer who was equally as patient and kind) I really don't think I would have had the strength to make it through the day let alone the shoot and it just goes to show...you can be good at your job but kindness and compassion can go so much farther.Thank you so much to Buff Beauty Bar and my girl Kim. Anytime I'm in Nola, I will make it an occasion to get pampered by you :)“

“Very nice people, high quality gel manicure, fair price. Gone here about 5 or 6 times now. I think they should have higher ratings. I think the people leaving bad reviews were probably the problem and I have a feeling Tammy doesn't tolerate disrespect at her business.“

“The service was excellent. If you go please treat yourself to the decadent pedicure. It was amazing“

“Jackie is wonderful!Getting lashes has never been so pleasant. She is kind, professional, pays attention to detail and respects personal preferences. The comfortable, quiet and private salon room could only be made better with mimosas in a sippy cup… Just Kidding, sorta ??“
