Buff + File Nail Bar - Downtown

Shannon Morrissette

Buff + File was one of the best mani/pedi experiences I have ever had. The salon was clean and modern. The staff was friendly, and even though they were busy it was a relaxed atmosphere. Lucas, my nail tech, was meticulous. Amazing experience and highly recommend Buff + File to anyone in the Portsmouth area. It's worth driving to if you're from out of town!

I have been in the industry since I was 18, now at 48 having been a nail tech, an instructor, a licensed colorist/ stylist, and demonstrator for multiple brands. So within 30 years of experiences I have been to a lot of places. Yesterday, I had one of the all time best experiences at a nail salon. Also I think that term is not efficient enough of a title. This is so Much more than a salon. From its tasteful decor, welcoming staff, extensive yet not overwhelming polish selection, to its offering of services and it’s knowledgeable staff! Legit, this place is worth the visit! 2 locations in Portsmouth and super accessible. It was my pleasure to have a service done by Bri. She was kind, considerate, and STUPENDOUS at the services she provided. I’ve done 3 sinks of dishes since I’ve been home and my nails are still perfect! Thank you so very much! I will be back!

Very pleasant experience. I got there and Tasha helped me immediately and did a very good job and she was also very friendly and conversational. I got there a little late because I had trouble finding the place, but they accommodated me. My phone also was constantly losing its charge, and they helped me by giving me an extra charger during my pedicure. Overall I recommend if you are looking to get your nails done.

Always a pleasure to see Vanessa. So welcoming, friendly, and professional. Used to always do my own nails but shes gotten me hooked on getting them done here. Love the pampering and how my hands look and feel after every manicure with her!
