Clae Nail Studio

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.
