Mimi for my nails engagement photo shoot and she did such an incredible job!!!! She took an idea that I had from Pinterest and brought it to life and made it 10000 times better! I love having a great neighborhood nail salon. Definitely coming back regularly. Their prices are also very reasonable

I have been going to Buddies consistently since August and I love it!! Mimi has done my nails and waxing every time and each set and wax comes out perfect! I cannot say enough good things about her and how much attention she pays to details and her artistic skill is unmatched! Whatever you do please come visit Buddies and ask for Mimi! Also all of the staff and owner are extremely friendly and kind and they have the cutest security guard! Update: I went today to get my Christmas nails with Mimi (as pictured) and I told her to have creative freedom with my nails and this is what she did! Mimi always goes above and beyond for her clients and is such a wonderful person and artist! Please book with Mimi, you will not regret it!

Buddies is my favorite salon in MVT. Nina is so talented, and the entire staff is very friendly. Her nail art is incredible and she is always kind, patient and thorough with her work. I highly recommend Buddies!
