Sparkle Nails - Buffalo (NY)

5 /5 Elizabeth Nunziato: Lilly & family are the OG nail techs in Snyder, we are lucky to have this gem! Every time its perfection with a smile at a fair price. They are always open to the latest trend I saw on Pinterest, and kindly responsive to feedback if you want a nail trimmed a bit more, dont like the color you already chose, etc. They have a small staff so be sure to make an appointment if you can.

3 /5 Alicia Lucy: I like the manicure but didn’t love the nail shaping technique I asked for oval and kept having to ask for her to make it more skinny/round. I wish they had a greater color selection. Also the gel isn’t too smooth, several air bubbles the camera didn’t grab too well.

1 /5 Zi Zi: On 9/12/2024, I came in for a gel manicure. The woman who did my manicure cut me and I was bleeding around two different nails. I wanted to properly wash my hands and disinfect the area. I have seen horror stories of people getting painful infections from salons. She put some green liquid on my cuts trying to stop the blood, but couldn’t communicate what the green liquid was. She used a piece of paper towel that was used and sitting on the counter to dab the blood. She didn’t even get a clean piece of paper towel! I had enough! I understand cuts happen occasionally, but using a dirty paper towel to clean a cut is disgusting. I told her I was going to wash my hands and clean the blood. She said my nails were not dry and began to yell at me. She wouldn’t let me wash my hands! I decided to end the service. A business that doesn’t see the importance of cleaning a bleeding cut is most likely not properly cleaning and disinfecting tools. I’m not risking it, especially because she wasn’t wearing gloves. Although she didn’t finish my nails and was extremely rude, the owner wanted $20. There was no way I was paying anything. This business needs to be investigated and do better. The way I was treated was disgusting. I’m seriously disappointed in Sparkle Nails.

1 /5 Gabrielle Thompson: WARNING - CHECK YOUR CARD STATEMENTS. I wish I could give zero stars. I’ve been going to this place for a couple months now, my nails are always done beautifully, no complaints there. I paid with my card and the man who’s there sometimes cashed me out. I tipped in cash per the salons preference. I checked my bank statement today and noticed a $15 discrepancy vs the receipt I signed. I called the salon, they denied the additional charge, said my bank added a fee, although it was clear what had happened from the start. Moral of the story, the guy who smells like a chimney is illegally adding additional tips. So check your statements if you pay with a card. Getting robbed is not worth a good manicure.

5 /5 Lindsay Torgerson: I have been going here for quite some time. This place is a HIDDEN gem. The staff is so nice. Quality and perfection to last until your next appointment. They take the time to make sure you are satisfied. They were wonderful with my young daughter (6) for her manicure. They truly take pride in their work.
