My nails after 2 weeks still look pretty.

Tish H.

I am impressed with the care & service I receive at Clever Nails. I usually see Lina but Jennifer is good too. It's easy to get an appointment also. My nails, especially my cuticles are tender & sensitive but Lina is very responsive and gentle. The salon is relaxed & the technicians are professional and friendly.

Jennifer was extremely thorough and I loved my To nail color! she was very kind as well' make sure to make an appointment she fills up fast!

Courtney H.

Jennifer is amazing! She takes her time to provide a perfect service every time. I highly recommend her for dip powder nails. They are the longest lasting nails I've ever had & it doesn't destroy my natural nails underneath.

I absolutely love this place !! They always take their time and always have a good attitude! Highly recommend this place !!

If I wasn't so darn desperate for a pedi in these times I probably would've waited it out for another spot. Make an appt and don't expect it to be on time. Hopefully this will change in time when things normalize. Honestly I over paid for what I consider a cheap and quick pedicure. They are in such a hurry to get you in and out that they hardly do their job. Went home and did the rest myself. Prices have gone up.....guess they feel they can take advantage and cash only. Not impressed

This was my first time there and my lady was so very meticulous and kind and I love the way my nails turned out! My nails are all the same length and shape and my cuticles have never looked better

I am so happy with the experiences I have at Clever Nails!! They have a lot of cool gel colors and finishes. Henry showed me the Cat Eye options, which I had never seen or heard of before. They look more 3D than hologram nails. The effect is done with magnets! I can't wait to try them all out. I wanted to write this review because Henry puts so much care into his work. The polish is always even and not too thick. I wear my nails short for work and he does a good job with shaping them, even when I cut them too short haha. He offers coffee, and we have nice conversations. Always a job well done. I am new to town and have tried all the local salons. Clever is by far my favorite! I don't have to soak my entire hand in a bowl of acetone to remove my gel polish, no wait, there are multiple sterilized brushes for scrubbing my nails, and I have never had to return to have my nails redone (looking at you Seasons. Even the nails that were redone were uneven and full of bubbles. I resolved to never return).

I got a great mani-pedi here!! I made a reservation the morning of, and Henry did my basic pedicure and Acrylic set. He made some great color suggestions and was very detail-oriented. I will definitely be coming back.

Henry does amazing work! I came back after three weeks with no loft. He did a fill, changed the color, and made me feel very relaxed. I love this nail spot! He did a fill three weeks later and the color change is amazing !!!

If you need a mani pedi you will not be disappointed coming here to Cleaver nails. Henry and Heidi are nice, friendly and professional. Henry is easy going and has stories to tell always smiles and makes me laugh, makes for a great experience. The salon is clean, the restrooms are clean too and there's plenty of parking. I highly recommend this place.

A friend and I needed a mani/pedi. Jennifer had space for us in the late afternoon. Despite a major power outage in the area, that fouled up everyone's schedules, both Jennifer and Lina delivered the quality service I have come to expect at Clever Nails. They NEVER DISAPPOINT! The salon is CLEAN and the recent remodel is minimalist but fashionable. The salon chairs are amazing. The end product? LOVELY. Thank you, Ladies! read more

THE BEST PLACE IN TOWN HANDS DOWN I've been to all 3. The one by Vons - lady was mean to me for no reason so i went to Seasons. Love it there - so nice and high end feeling and fun hip staff. HOWEVER I am came to Clever Nails and found my two favorite technicians ever! Lena and Jennifer! They are SO good at what they do but they are TOTAL PROS and moving people through quickly. AND best of all! They have the best personalities in the world!!!! And are now my friends. I recommend everyone go here!!! read more

Jennifer is amazing! I've been going to her for 9 years now. She used to be at another salon. I was so sad when she left but I found her again at Clever Nail's. She's now the owner. While she was gone I went to another shop and they ruined my nails! My nails are healthy again. She cares about her customers and always does her best to please them. I get compliments all of the time about my nails and how nice they look. I get dip powder on fingernails and gel polish on my toes. You won't be disappointed! Call ahead for appt. bc she's very busy:) read more

The best nail salon on the central coast! The nail tech was friendly (and as quiet or chatty as her customer was) gave a great pedicure for only $35.00, fantastic price and she did an excellent job and took care of an ingrown toenail for free. The salon was immaculately clean, as well as her work all throughout the pedicure. I've been trying a to find a new nail salon for almost a year, my search is finally over. I'm never going any place else. Yay!! Oh and they have massage chairs!! read more

My husband and I moved to Nipomo 3 months ago. I just returned from my 3rd mani/pedi by Henry and Heidi. My husband just had his 2nd pedicure (only 2nd in his life). Can't say enough about the quality of their work and I'd highly recommend both of them. Perfect feet (from very imperfect feet!) and beautiful nails. I watched as Heidi thoroughly disinfected the chair hubby had jut vacated...and Henry remembered my name after first visit. Best of all, they take appointments. Don't wait, treat yourself at Clever Nails...you'll be glad you did! read more

They were super friendly; however, I would not recommend getting your eyebrows done here. The lady that did my eyebrows made my them extremely thin and managed to leave hairs where they should have been removed. Also, she tried to shape them with little scissors and she completely cut too much in the wrong angle. I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I have been told by several individuals how bad they came out. Now I will be filling my brows in until they grow out! read more

I have been here for a pedicure several times. This visit did not go well. First, the phone number on the business card is not working. Cannot even leave a message. So I went there on Friday 9/2/22 to make the appointment in person. After a lot of run around, I was told that Henry, who I usually see, is on vacation for two months. So I made an appointment with someone else for Wednesday 9/7/22 at 3 pm. When I arrived, she was the only one working and was doing a manicure. She told me it would be just a few minutes and did not seem to realize that I had an appointment. I waited until 3:30 and she was still doing the manicure. She said it would be about 30 more minutes. I left and found another place very nearby. They were able to do the pedicure immediately. Very unfortunate. read more

This is the worst salon I have ever been to in my life. We went in with three 70 dollar gift certificates and they wrote on them gel manicure and pedicure. When we got there they said it was only supposed to be for manicure gel. Fine whatever. My grandma didn't want any gel so we asked to have it applied to mine or my moms they said no because they charged her to take off her nail polish. They argued with me for 15 minutes at which point they kept changing the prices. Worst customer service ever. I never post on yelp, but this place is straight trash. Old nail polish, rude people, just trying to get over on customers in whatever way possible. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! read more

This place offers amazing pedicures!! Henry smoothed my callouses, gave calf and foot massages using a sugar scrub that smelled great and another massage using one of those good scented lotions from Bath and Body Works, with the perfect pressure, Hot Stone Massage, hot towel wrap around the calves, hot paraffin wax on my feet, all the while sitting in a reclining massage chair. And a really reasonable price to boot! Also, my son, who just graduated Boot Camp yesterday as a Marine was treated to the same fabulous pedicure by Heidi. His feet and body are sore from 13 weeks of grueling exercises and it felt like a slice of heaven to his feet and calves! My boyfriend had one as well, we will all definitely be back!!

On April 29, 2025, I had a Lash Lift plus Tint and Eye Brow Lamination and Tint by Janet Rodriguez…read more I was very pleased when I left the Studio and told Janet that I would be back in June. I wrote her a text on May 9, 2025, stating that I had just looked in the mirror and was shocked after paying $282.76, which included taxes of $22.76. I was told that I didn't have to pay a tip, and I believe that's why the $22.76 was added. On May 10, 2025, I received a text from Janet telling me that the tint probably faded: "As it only lasts 7 days on the skin." Janet had not told me that before I had the procedure, and now I have brown or orange eyebrows. Since my eyebrows were also waxed, they are very thin, with gray stubble growing straight out. I am very upset, since my eyebrows will not grow back in some places. The right eyebrow is shorter in the front, and the left is shorter in the back. Janet offered me a complimentary tint on my eyebrows and lashes, as well as a future appointment. I texted her on May 28, 2025, that I wouldn't let her near my lashes or eyebrows if she paid me.

So basically everyone who documents their Brazilian wax on YouTube either is dehydrated or has a really bad waxer, or both. ‍ Jillian gives you recommendations on products to help with your skin and hair - which all work by the way! Fur Oil is A+ and Deck Scrub! I have recommended her to most of my coworkers and they all go see her. Jillian is an incredible human being and an amazing esthetician. I wouldn't let anyone else wax me!

Jillian is the best ever! No matter what Service you get she…read moreis professional, meticulous, and makes you feel comfortable. She's also hilarious, so that's a plus too. I get compliments on my brows after they are waxed by her. Hands down, she's worth every penny. You won't regret using her services.

I collected the nail polish sheets and took them to the salon to show the owner. I thought they might at least offer to re-polish my toes, but no, they decided it was my fault for choosing the cheap polish and not the gel polish. What business model is this? Wouldn't you think they would want me to return as a customer? There are 3 nail salons at the corner of Tefft and Mary, I think I will try one of the other two.

Heidi and Henry are incredible, and you won't regret getting all your nail needs met at Clever Nails! The last time I got my nails done was in February. Due to COVID restrictions, I've been doing my nails myself--and let me tell you, they were awful. I got a regular Mani-Pedi at Clever Nails today, and it was truly an amazing experience. They use disposable liners in basins for the pedicures, are incredibly clean, and have plastic shields throughout. I felt safe and cared for! Heidi and Henry are warm, communicative, and lovely. And they are very affordable! $15 for a regular manicure, $28 for a pedicure. Even their regular pedicures include a hot stone massage and an exfoliating scrub. They took amazing care of my damaged and unwieldily cuticles and my nails have the perfect shape. I've been searching all over the central coast for an affordable, clean nail salon with a warm atmosphere, and I've finally found it in my hometown! Thanks Heidi and Henry! I'll be back, and I'll be recommending you to my friends and family! read more

Very disappointed with their service they provided After making my appointment, I arrived, Started pedicure fine I believe I got an employee, because the owner gave her $3 from a tip and she complained, about the amount! While doing pedicure she breezes through it with no detail to my feet. It took 15 min total time!!!!!! While she gel polished my nails, she gazed out the window loosing track of how many coats she had done! Ignoring the three layers of polish on one foot and two layers on the other Didn't match in color at all My mani was a 5 min process No attention to detail or time The gel polish peeled off two days later What a waist of my time and my money I tipped very well. Because when I paid and asked for change, to tip. He gave her my entire $20 bill. OMG I left feeling ignored and given below a beauty school job and no interaction or personality. So disappointed A TRUE all around fail Be wary your money is better spent at a different shop read more

Check out this new nail coloring. first customer to get this new type of nail color and I'm in love. It's not a traditional polish as it has a base coat then a powder that makes this amazing color followed by a couple top coats. Was so awesome to watch it be done. I never go anywhere else to get my nails done even if it means not getting my nails done for a month because I don't live here. Great people great quality nails. No lifting no yellowing. They treat us like family and my almost 3 year old gets her nails painted every time. read more

Clever Nails & Spa is a fabulous nail salon. I got the Deluxe pedicure and OMG it is amazing!!!!!! My manicure looks amazing too. Great nail shape and color looks beautiful. They are very friendly and have great customer service. Most nail places don't make you feel like you went to a luxurious spa but Clever Nails sure does! It was exactly the relaxation and pampering I needed after a stressful work week. I highly recommend this nail salon. Heidi and Henry are awesome!!! read more

I absolutely love this place! The service was great! And everyone was so kind. I got the best gel manicure I've had yet! And I get them pretty frequently. She paid a lot of attention to detail, which is important for me because I'm normally a nailbiter if my nails aren't manicured. I would definitely recommend this place, and has great prices! The salon was also very clean and very cutely decorated for Christmas! The ambience was perfect! read more

I took my mom who is 87 years old for a pedicure a few days ago. My mother lives in assisted living and has been in lockdown for most of Covid. Needless to say she needed a pedicure badly lots of old dead skin long nails etc. Henry did a terrific job. He went above and beyond. My mother so appreciates it and said how much better her feet felt afterwards. Thank you so much Henry and Heidi. read more
