Clae Nail Studio is a nail salon at 1211 E Kennedy Blvd in Tampa, FL, offering nail care and creative sets for people who want thoughtful attention to both the look of their nails and their natural nail health. Customer reviews describe services including Gel-X extensions, builder gel, polish, and custom nail art. One visitor brought a design reference from Instagram, and the technician recreated it with an individual twist; another praised careful work on Gel-X extensions while sharing a longer-term goal of growing natural nails. These experiences suggest Clae can be a fit for clients seeking either a specific look or attentive maintenance, while each service and result will depend on the consultation and the client’s needs.
The studio’s atmosphere is part of what customers mention. Reviews describe a beautiful, clean space and note that one visitor noticed little chemical odor. That feedback may be reassuring if a tidy, comfortable setting matters to you, though individual impressions can vary. Customers also praise technicians for being gentle, detailed, and attentive, including when working with nails that need extra care. For someone who has felt uneasy about getting their nails done, that considerate approach may help make a visit feel more comfortable. If you have a particular design, preferred shape, or natural-nail goal, sharing it clearly before the service can help set expectations.
Clae Nail Studio has a 4.5-star rating from 344 reviews. Many customers highlight polished results, personalized nail art, and technicians who understand the look they want. One reviewer described returning to the same technician because she consistently knows their preferences and offers a broad, current selection of polish colors. Feedback is not entirely uniform: one customer expressed concern about a $25 builder-gel removal charge and felt the cost had not been communicated honestly. As with any salon, it is sensible to ask what a service includes and confirm removal or other additional charges before work begins. This practical conversation can help you choose the service that suits your plans and budget.
The salon is open Tuesday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; it is closed Monday. Its Kennedy Boulevard address places Clae in Tampa, making it an option for local residents and visitors who are in town and looking for nail care. Reviews include someone visiting Tampa before a cruise, as well as customers who return for regular appointments. Whether you are considering extensions, builder gel, a fresh polish color, or a design inspired by a reference photo, bring your preferences and ask about pricing and care options. The available reviews point to a studio where detailed work and personal attention are recurring parts of the customer experience.

I don’t think I’ve ever loved a nail set more than I love this one! Daria was absolutely amazing, she recreated this design from a single picture I had on Instagram and added her own twist. It couldn’t have turned out better! I don’t live in Tampa, I was just down here for a cruise, but I guarantee next time I’m here I’ll make a point to schedule my nails with her. Not only did she do amazing work, she was so sweet and wonderful to chat with!
Nail tech: Leah My nails needed a lot of love, and she took such amazing care of them! I got Gel\-X extensions and I’m genuinely in love with the results. She was so gentle, detailed, and careful with my natural nails, especially knowing my goal is to eventually grow them out. She also made me feel completely at ease about my insecurities with my hands and somehow made them look so delicate and pretty. So happy with the whole experience 🥹
I’m coming from Manhattan, so I’m no stranger to paying premium prices for beauty services. But this experience wasn’t about the cost—it was about the dishonesty. I came in because two of my builder gel nails had come off. I was charged $25 just to remove the builder gel, which I thought was expensive but acceptable. I specifically told the technician that I wanted to keep my nails short, not extend them, and simply get a regular gel manicure. Instead, I was charged for a builder gel manicure that I never requested. There was no explanation, no discussion, and certainly no apology when the bill came. The total was $108 for short nails with regular gel polish and no extensions. To make matters worse, there was nothing special about the service—no hand massage, no extra care, no attention to customer experience. Just an inflated bill and a complete lack of transparency. Businesses can charge whatever they want, but customers deserve honesty about what they’re paying for. This place feels more interested in upselling and overcharging than providing good service. For me, it’s the principle. I won’t be back. Daria was my nail tech, very dishonest.
Absolutely love this nail salon! After trying so many different nail salons and never being happy I came across Clae. It is such a beautiful, clean space and it doesn’t smell a touch like chemicals. All of the products are clean and healthy …
Daria is amazing! She always knows exactly what I want and my nails look great each time. She’s so attentive and she always has the best and most recent polishes anything and everything you name it! So thankful for Daria so I don’t have to dread getting my nails done anymore! Approaching
