My second time here and happy to find a Nail Salon so friendly and accommodating. It's a peaceful atmosphere with massage chairs that work. I didn't feel rushed. My pedicure with hot stones felt nice. It's great when the technician really knows how to trim your toes and manage ingrown nails properly. This is my go to Nail Salon from now on. Thank you Kelli for being sweet and caring. read more

My wife just came from here. She told them she needed to be done by noon and they promised she would. At 11:51 she still wasn't seated so she stood up to leave but they promised again that they could finish in 9 minutes. She reluctantly sat back down, only to finish at 12:24. They also cut her finger while doing her nails and she's not happy with the results. Stay away from this place. read more

Great service alwayes makes time that works with my schedule and double checks I like my nails as we go. I've always had the best experience. read more

Went to Clever nail salon yesterday and was very disappointed. First had appointment but still had to wait. Water too hot then she overfilled the tub after I alerted her . She put towels down but my sandals got wet. The polish was first then the hot rocks ? Backwards from what I am used to . Then I noticed both big toes were not polished on the inside showed her and she repolished them . Then noticed polish on my skin asked her to remove it but didn't seem to understand me . Once home noticed my little toes were half way polished . Who polices half a toe ? Then noticed neither little toes had cuticles cut ? Went back today showed her and she said come back later and she will fix it ? Why would I go back ? If this salon was in LA it would go out of business. Poor and sloppy job . Totally unacceptable! And to ask me to come back later we'll they surely don't appreciate the customer here . Don't waste your $ . read more

I searched the internet for a highly rated salon near by to get a pedicure. it had been a long time since my last one so they had their work cut out for them. I couldn't be happier with the service I received at Clever Nails. They did an excellent job, it couldn't have been any better. I was offered water and a mimosa during my visit. I was treated like a VIP. I will not go anywhere else for a pedicure. I would highly recommend this shop. read more

Stopped in this morning to get a gel manicure before work and they got me in a chair promptly. The manicure was quick but not rushed, and very well done! They have a large selection of gel colors, I was impressed. The woman who did my nails was really nice. It was a clean environment, I will definitely be returning. I think I've finally found my new nail place! read more

They are ok, a quiet place. Pedicures are quick not thorough at all. They never clean my nails or along the cuticle area and the massage lasts about 1 minute. It's a good place if you need a quick pedi and to get your nail color done. But you can get better service elsewhere. read more

I stopped in for a manicure and pedicure this afternoon. I was seated right away as it was quiet there. Everything was fine, nothing special. My service was quick and efficient. It's clean and comfortable. $45 for a basic mani/pedi no polish. read more

I cracked a nail while out of town and I'm usually hesitant to go to a nail salon that I haven't heard about before! Absolutely great experience! Friendly people and fantastic work! A little more than what I usually pay but was very satisfied with the service and my nails! I come to Nipomo often and will be returning!!! read more

I thought I was going into a good nail salon boy was wrong I never felt so uncomfortable and rushed and if I mentioned anything that I didt like they were talking rudely and wouldt let me explain the place also was dirty and they had poor attitudes I will not be going back read more

There are 3 nail salons in Nipomo, and by far, this is the best one. Henry was very precise and did a wonderful job on both hands and feet. They wrapped hot towels around my hands, sugar scrubbed my legs and used a hot towel to clean the sugar off. I have never had anyone do that before and it was delightful! Their prices are the same as the other shops, so there is no reason not to go to them. They are very friendly and kind and have a wide variety of colors to choose from. read more

Welcoming, clean, with talented, and professional technicians. It has been a long time since I was truly impressed with the quality of service and the nail experience. Many times my nail services at establishments in the 805 area have felt rushed, lacked customer service or exhibited sub par work. Not the case with Clever Nails. I have been to this shop 4 times now for pedicures and gel nails, and each time I have come away with an exceptional experience and finished product. Even when I have had my nails and toes done at the same time there has been no change in the quality. Appointments are always honored, unlike some other shops in our area. I haven't found a nail salon in over ten years that I loved so much that I would be totally loyal to. I honestly didn't think I ever would again, but I have. I won't be going anywhere else for my nail services. read more

New owners and staff. My gel manicure was performed by the husband and it was decent. My mother went with me for the first time. She had a nail tech do her mani. They poorly removed her gels by sanding them down. The tech left a lot of old gel on the edges and applied new gel over it. The tech applied the nail cover and it was uneven, streaky and didn't cover. I asked the owner to look at her nails. She flipped out and started berating her in front of us. Whats worse, I have no idea what she was saying. I felt awful for the tech. Anyway, I'm really tired of going to these places and not understanding what the staff is saying. I went home and ordered all the supplies I need for my own manicures. read more

This nail salon is amazing . I will never go any where else now that I came here . Everyone is so nice , they truly want you to enjoy yourself and they talk to you and get to know you . The service is outstanding! If I could give 10 stars I would ! The prices are great and the quality is even better . My nails look amazing and they do exactly what you like . I'm so glad I found this gem of a place . Oh also if your 21 or over they give you mimosas while you get your nails done !!! Bonus ! I do recommend making an appointment because I know they get busy with there 5 star service . read more

My mom and I had an amazing experience with both Henry and Heidi. My mom and I both got pedicures and manicures. All the services were priced fairly. And the attention to detail was great! Henry and Heidi made us feel comfortable and relaxed. It was the best experience I've had at a nail salon. read more

This is my second time going to this nail salon and by far it's my favorite! Staff is super friendly and very accommodating.

Just moved here. Been twice for normal pedicures. Both times I've thoroughly enjoyed myself. I was seriously treated better here than any nail salon I've been to for the past 30 years. Offered water, coffee, cookies. Staff was overly kind. I felt APPRECIATED! Will come back! read more

I was excited to give them a try after reading the reviews, but my experience was not the best. The lady who did my pedicure never asked which "package" I wanted, so she assumed and did the cheap and quick one (I would have gone for the mega deluxe one). She was so rough, to the point where I had to keep pulling my foot back because it hurt. I felt she rushed me out of the chair. She kept commenting on my nails telling me I should have gone there and I should go there from now on. After she was done she never said anything else to me and just got up and left! We won't go back. read more

Walked in and Henry did an amazing gel mani and pedi. Got my nails done for a friends wedding and he helped me pick a color and was very friendly. Recommend read more

First time experience for me... I called to see if they had availability and they didn't until about 30 minutes later, which was fair, but we were in a bit of a hurry and so I called another place. They were INCREDIBLY friendly and said "come now, we'll take care of you!" The gentleman here hadn't taken any of my information, so I didn't think anything of it, and we went to the other salon. They were AMAZING and we were done before we could have even gotten in at Clever. We then went to lunch and I receive a phone call. It was the gentleman from here lecturing me about how I "didn't show up for my appointment, I should have called, and it doesn't matter what else I had going on"... which was followed up by him hanging up on me. I have NEVER experienced anything like this, and I didn't even realize we had an "appointment" which I told him. This phone call also occurred over an hour after said "missed appointment". Professionalism and communication are clearly not pros of this salon. read more

I love the quality of the supplies that they use and they are really nice but the nail polish (on gel manicures or acrylics) never lasts long!!! Been there twice and they've gotten chipped or the nail polish came off within one week! But the acrylic itself (not the nail polish on top) will stay on and look amazing forever!! Last time I just kept re-painting the acrylics myself or let them be without nail polish since they were clear and I actually got compliments.. if the nail polish lasted longer than a week I would totally rate this place 5 stars!! read more

I read some good reviews about this place so i felt comfortable walking in for a pedicure.. there were only 2 customers inside so it wasn't busy at all.. I asked how long the wait was for a pedicure and the man rudely shooed me away saying they don't have time today. There is absolutely no reason to be rude as i would've understood if they had politely said they were booked for the day. Also they might wanna reconsider the "walk ins welcome" sign if that's the attitude they have. Will not return. read more

Love this salon. Manicure, fills, new set, pedicure are the best. Danny, Kelly and Jennie are very professional and do great work. Very comfortable atmosphere. Try it you will like it. read more

Just moved to Nipomo a couple months ago and have been looking for a good pedicure.... This place is absolutely amazing!! Best pedicure I've had, deluxe pedicure is amazing. Brought my boyfriend with me who enjoys pedicures although has never had a deluxe. Thank you for making our experience great! We will definitely be back!! read more

My new favorite nail salon! Got acrylic overlay on my nails and a pedi that turned out fabulous. .I'll be back..you need to try it out too, totally worth it. read more

My nails were a mess!! Henry worked on them and I left with stunning pink and whites!!! He is always polite, kind and professional!!!

Nails came out crooked but didn't have the heart to tell the man. Literally paid for them and soaked them off that night.

FINALLY a nail shop where the manicurist does exactly what I'm asking for. If you've had the experience where you ask the manicurist for what you want and after they agree to do it but they still do it differently, well it won't happen here. The owner has done my nails two times and he is fast, efficient and carries an interesting conversation which makes time fly by! Plus my nails look beautiful. This is my new permanent nail place. The shop is clean and beautiful too. read more

I recently had a manicure and pedicure and the results were not good. I discovered when I left that my right toe had become infected probably because the nail was not cut straight across. The technician cut into the side of the nail. Ouch!! The manicure left me with one bloody hangnail. read more

No wait time like the other Nail Salon in Nipomo (next to Me N Eds pizza) and they did a really good job w/my pedicure. I am going to this salon from now on. read more
