Yay I'm back! Wanted to get a new fall set and went with a coffee/hojicha sort of vibe. Love the chrome design and attention to detail. Can't wait for a fill!
This has to be my new favorite nail shop in Pasadena. Right when I walk in I am greeted by the friendly staff and asked what services I wanted. After I sit and waited while they prepared my spa chair and prepare my complimentary matcha. I love my manicure and pedicure service. The pedicure felt so relaxing and I felt so clean afterwards. My manicure was top notch, Katie executed the shape and design flawlessly. I love the ambiance of the shop was warming and inviting. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Pro tip: parking is only $1 the first two hours if you park in the parking structure across the street from the shop called the De Lacey Parking Facility.
Found a great new nail salon! For this month of June they are having a special soft opening where you can get up to 25% off any service. If you leave them a review on google you can get that discount. I got a regular gel pedicure ($50 cash price) today with Leah. She was so gentle and nice. With the discount, I paid $37. *REMEMBER TO BRING CASH. Card price is few dollars more. The salon is recently remodeled so everything is very clean. They also serve you complimentary drinks while getting your nails done! They are located the same street of Tiffany Co (behind) on De Lacey St. Be sure to check them out and get that discount before end of this month!
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++
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.
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 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.
Came in again and my nail artist was very nice & precise. Constantly asking if I liked my nails and was ok with me changing anything I didn't like. Very happy
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.
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!!!
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!
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!
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!

This salon is absolutely gorgeous. Although there is no parking they are right across from a structure that offers $1 an hour parking which was great. I came here specifically for one hair stylist, Lourdes, to get my hair colored. She did an absolutely amazing job for such a great price. In addition to wonderful service the beds they have here for washing hair are spectacular. The beds literally have built in massaging equipment elevating the hair washing experience. I will definitely be back again! read more

This is THE best nail service I've ever experienced. I got a mani and pedi to relax from a stressful month. It included a complimentary drink from Vietnamese iced coffee to Mimosas! The whole experience was luxurious; I felt so spoiled and pampered. Cleo Nail Bar has become my favorite nail salon. Another bonus: the nail techs are so sweet and friendly. read more

I just met the worst manicurist of my life. I don't even want to call her a "manicurist"--she seemed completely unprofessional. I went to the shop and asked if a walk-in was okay, and she let me get my gel nails done. She was shaking her hand while removing my cuticles and applying the gel, and it took her forever to apply the base, gel, and top coat. But guess what--despite all that effort, the surface turned out super bumpy and uneven. The cat-eye reflection doesn't stand out at all, and the cat-eye effect looks different on every nail. On top of that, she never mentioned that cat-eye gel costs an extra $20; regular gel is $50. I just got home and now I see that I'm bleeding. read more

In search for a local colorist, I read one of my yelp friends (thanks Valerie!) had an amazing experience with Neo so I had to check him out myself. Neo spent some time to consult with me about my cut, color and what I initially wanted turned out to be something I would have regretted. Thanks Neo for preventing me from making a mistake! Neo was really patient and was very detailed oriented. Checking in with me each step of the way; about the color, how much hair he was trimming and the style that I wanted He and another stylist were very efficient. I have really thick long hair and they worked their magic to bleach, tone and color my hair all in one sitting. Two bleach sessions and six hours later, I felt transformed. My hair had the dimensions and contrast I wanted. The bayalage turned out so good! I wanted to keep my black base which was important to me and it turned out fantastic! Neo also took amazing photos of my hair. He is so sweet and I really enjoyed getting my hair done here. read more

Kazuyo has done my hair for years and I finally visited her at her new location! She did a great job as always consulting on how I want my hair to look and cutting/styling so it's flattering and looks so healthy! Location is bright, clean, and modern. Parked in the public parking garage across the street! read more
