    I decided to treat myself to a hard-gel fill on my natural nails because I'm pregnant and wanted to save myself the time and energy of doing them myself. Unfortunately, I left extremely disappointed. After spending an hour and 15 minutes with Hailey, my nails were still unfinished and poorly structured. The initial layer of hard gel was so thin that my nails could still physically bend, defeating the entire purpose of the service. When I asked her to redo them, she initially refused until I demonstrated how easily the nail could flex and break. Even after she added more product, the gel was unevenly placed and created a thick, bubble-like shape with hooked tips that look like bird claws. I repeatedly explained what needed to be corrected and asked her to file down the bulky areas, but she still could not get the shape or structure right. The attached photos show how my nails looked after her attempts to fix them. The appointment was moving so slowly and the results were becoming increasingly worse that I eventually had to leave to return to work before she even applied color. Despite receiving an unfinished service that I was clearly unhappy with, I was still charged full price. I had also read other reviews describing clients feeling excluded or discriminated against here. I was the only non-Asian client in the salon, and the overall atmosphere left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. I cannot speak to anyone's intentions, but that was genuinely how the experience felt to me. I would not return.

    Messy cuticle area

    I had a really disappointing experience here, especially when it came to the pricing, customer service, and the quality of the finished service. I originally came in wanting a fill and showed the nail tech a picture of exactly what I wanted. After seeing the picture, she told me $50, so naturally I understood that to be the price for what I had just shown her. They then kept asking me multiple times if I wanted to remove my current nails and get a new set instead. I repeatedly said no because I only wanted a fill. Eventually, I was told that a fill and a new set would be the same price, so I finally agreed to the new set. When it was time to pay, my total was $125 JUST FOR MY HANDS. That's when I found out that the $50 I was originally quoted was apparently ONLY for the design. The hard gel new set itself was another $67, along with additional charges that were never clearly explained to me beforehand. So my question is: if I was specifically told that a fill and a new set were the same price, are you telling me that a fill would have been $67 before even adding the design? If the $50 was only the design fee, that should have been made VERY clear when I showed the picture and asked how much it would cost. After I had already paid, I calmly brought up that I felt she should have been clearer about the pricing from the beginning. Instead of simply acknowledging the misunderstanding or explaining the charges, the worker responded to me very rudely and said, "I can take them off." At that point I had ALREADY PAID $125. I wasn't asking her to take my nails off--I was explaining that I should have been told the full price before the service was done. I found that response extremely dismissive and unprofessional. What made the experience even more frustrating was that after paying $125 for my nails, the finishing work wasn't even clean. The skin and cuticle area around the sides of several of my nails still had little pieces of skin and looked unfinished. For $125, I expect my nails AND the surrounding area to look clean, neat, and professionally finished. I don't have a problem paying more for quality work, detailed designs, or additional services. My problem is being quoted $50 after showing exactly what I wanted, being repeatedly encouraged to get a new set after saying I only wanted a fill, being told the fill and new set were the same price, and then finding out at checkout that my actual total was $125. Then, when I simply pointed out that the pricing should have been communicated more clearly, I was met with a rude response instead of basic customer service. If you're considering coming here, I strongly recommend asking them to tell you your FULL TOTAL, including every additional charge, BEFORE they touch your nails. I definitely would not have agreed to this service had I known beforehand that the $50 I was quoted would turn into $125.

    Cleo Nail Bar is truly a gem. The ambiance alone makes you feel relaxed the moment you walk in it's beautiful, calming, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. The women working there are incredibly friendly while still being completely professional, and they made the whole experience feel effortless. Their work was absolutely amazing. Every detail was done with care, and the final result was flawless. I left feeling so happy with my nails and so impressed with the level of service. I highly recommend Cleo Nail Salon. I will absolutely be back the next time I'm in town.

    I love my Tina! She was sweet, had me laughing and very honest with what colors not to get on my toes. What technician would ever do that? The vibe was great in the nail bar, super pretty location and the pricing is very comparable to what's in Pasadena but the service was A++

    Tropical passion fruit drink Delicious and refreshing
    Michelle P.

    I truly enjoyed the newly renovated nail salon now called Cleo. The wooden panels with inserted lights make the place look very modern and sleek. They even added a cute mimosa bar. My mom and I got free drinks on our visit. They are offering free drinks for the first week of their soft opening. I got a the tropical passion fruit (no alcohol). The ladies did a great job on my nails. I got a regular pedicure $47 and a gel manicure $65 I had broke one of my nails and the tech added a nail extension for $5 Total I paid $117 I had my nails done by Ashely and Leah. I like that they take their time and don't rush filing my nails. They're detailed and clean here. Definitely my favorite nail salon in Pasadena.

    These girls are amazing and soooo friendly!! The service is phenomenal! Tiffany is an amazing manager, Hailey was my nail tech and did an OUTSTANDING job!! Hailey is the sweetest person ever and is so talented. Part of the nail fell off and I came in a day later and they fixed it, no questions asked!!! The space is clean, gorgeous, and such a relaxing environment. They opened up a couple months ago, come support them!!!

    Clean, beautiful, relaxing with a rainbow of colors to try!

    CLEO Nail Bar is THE ultimate for a luxe mani pedi experience & one that you need right now! From the moment you walk in the receptionist Kien, greets you, seats you & offers a handmade beverage from their drink menu as they have Matcha, Vietnamese Coffee, hot green tea & other fancy beverages. So nice! CLEO NB is a beautiful space thats clean, bright and airy with an open floor plan & a very relaxing atmosphere. The spa pedi chairs are so comfortable with gorgeous basins and a little table to rest your hands. The Milk & Honey pedicure was AMAZING by Hannah and it was so luxurious, its a MUST, along with their other luxe pedis that I cant wait to try!! My Gel X fancy nails by Tiffany are a true work of art! Tiffany is absolutely awesome with her beautiful hand painted designs and her eye for mixing and matching color! Tiffany always goes above and beyond and I LOVE my gorgeous nails and I always receive many compliments on! Thank you Tiffany! All the nail designers/technicians are amazing! With handprints designs, fancy jewels and a rainbow of gorgeous polishes there is something for everyone! I can't say enough about CLEO Nail Bar and the relaxing, luxe experience these wonderful nail artists provide & with a great value & price for their incredible services! There is convenient parking in a covered garage, right across the street & cost just a few dollars for a couple hours. CLEO Nail Bar is a gem and I highly recommend going for an experience that will leave you already looking forward to the next time! Will it be the Expresso pedi or the Champagne pedi? Either way I know I will be extremely happy!

    One color Hard gel manicure

    I had a great experience at Cleo Nail Bar. The salon interior is very nice and new! May and Leah did a wonderful job, very kind customer service and awesome attention to detail! I felt welcomed, comfortable and left happy. Leah's manicure skills were so impressive, every nail length is matching, even shape, she really puts a lot of effort in to making it perfect and I really appreciate that. By the way, even the express pedicure comes with a little massage, and so did my manicure, that's such a nice bonus!

    Came in as a walk in and had an excellent experience. The nail techs were very kind and accommodating, and also amazingly talented nail artists. I especially enjoyed the pedicure treatment and the complimentary champagne. It's a place I'll definitely be coming back to!

    Found this new place on Yelp and I have to say I'm very happy with it! Coming in, they were very nice and accommodating. It was quite hot in the salon but the staff had no hesitation to adjust the temperature. The services were also top notch. The espresso pedicure was absolutely amazing!! I also got builder gel, which came out beautiful. Since it's soft opening, they were offering free drinks. I will definitely be coming back.

    Deluxe Spa Pedicure

    Stopped by during their soft opening and treated myself to the Deluxe Spa Pedicure. what a great experience! One of the things I appreciated most was that I never felt rushed. The staff took their time, and the entire appointment felt relaxing from start to finish. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, especially considering it was their very first day of soft opening. A nice bonus was the complimentary drinks. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't overly strong, but it was the perfect afternoon pick-me-up while I enjoyed my pedicure. Overall, I was very impressed with both the service and the atmosphere. For a first day, they did an amazing job, and I'll definitely be coming back. Wishing them much success on their grand opening!

Her work is the best and she has the most caring, professional nail artist I've ever worked with! I also love this location and now the new decor and complimentary drink it's arch a nice ambience.

    Had a great experience today at Jenny's nail and spa! The technicians were friendly and thorough…read morewith the service and did exactly as I asked, even got cute nail art for the tennis tournament I'm attending.

    We were in town for the week and needed to find a nail salon close by. We decided we wanted to try…read moreout gel since it could last a bit before our trip ended. So glad to Yelp and find a highly rated nail salon within walking distance across the street from TJ. We made an online reso the night before. We walked in at 11 am and quickly greeted by Jenny (I think). We already had an idea of the type of gel and design we wanted. Jenny and Lily were thorough with the pre polish. Taking their time to file and remove cuticles and hand nails. I don't think any salon has ever taken this much time before. They also buffed out our nail bed for smooth application. DD has a cat eye gel which she was so fascinated with. Jenny matched the color of the picture spot on. Also, I wanted a leopard print design. Lily did the red on alternating fingers and Jenny did the actual design. Wow. So impressed that she did this bloom gel technique that matches the picture I showed her too. Even the base of the tan was spot on. So impressed with the whole experience and couldn't be happier. It's been 5 days and both our manicures look pretty fresh still. I am now a believer of gel manicure and will only be doing them vs regular manicures from now on thanks to this salon. If I lived down here, this would definitely be my go to nail salon.
