Chloe’s Nail Bar — Local services in Brandon

The worst manicure of my life. Let me preface this by saying I’ve gone here a few times, and each time the quality dwindled. I guess I kept coming back in the hopes that they would get my nails right like they did the first time, but this last time was the last straw. First of all, I came in for a fresh full set with their powder acrylic. I specifically asked for the brand “not polish” and the technician who was taking care of me looked at me like she didn’t know what that product was even though they’re constantly slinging it at you. She then proceeded to make me look through a drawer of acrylic powders because she could not find the color that I was asking for which was just plain black. I then decided that I was going to go with a lavender shade so I gave the woman the powder and she took me to another technician whom I have had many times before and who always does a horrible job on my nails. Mind you at this point I still had acrylic on from the last time that I had my nails done, so I asked if they could please remove it. She proceeded to drill and drill and drill and file down my nails until they were very thin and the last little bit of acrylic they tried to pop off with a NAIL TIP and when I said “that hurts” she said “oh I’m sorry” and laughed. It was then that I noticed my nail was bleeding, and she didn’t even care, she just glued on a nail tip anyways even with residual acrylic left on my nails and proceeded to lay down the acrylic. I could tell that she was struggling around the acrylic that was still on my nails because she kept layering and layering and layering more and more acrylic on my nails making it look lumpy and uneven. At this point I was just astonished at the audacity and the gall that this woman had to continue doing what she was doing but I continued to let her work to see if perhaps maybe she could fix it somehow. The end result was very splotchy, very uneven, very poorly laid down acrylic. The only thing that I could think of to even remotely solve my issue was to have her use a chrome powder which was applied horribly by the way the powder was stuck in my cuticles and she didn’t even bother to remove it. And the end result were horribly uneven, very badly applied nails with ugly powder and she still had the audacity to charge me a full $80 for what she had done. I considered arguing with her or even just asking her to take down some of what she charged but I felt that being the bigger person in this instance was necessary and I even tipped her even though she didn’t deserve it. Suffice to say this will be my last time returning to Chloe’s nail bar, they are overpriced poor...

First and Foremost Alicia and Cathy are amazing and offer great services. Alicia is super creative and can literally re-create any design you’ve previously seen. She is not a nail tech, she is a nail artist. She is super creative and does AMAZING work. Cathy offers great pedicures, she takes her time and offers great service. It’s not an awkward experience like other salons, she’s interactive while giving you a service. I highly recommend Alicia and Cathy. The salon is new, recently opened. Cute salon, they always ask if I would like anything to drink etc. Everyone is pretty welcoming and smiling with the exception of Lin. He never smiles, barely speaks and when he does speak, he is very short and dry. He looks like he’s having a bad day every day. The chairs to sit at to get your nails done, is super uncomfortable (for me at least, my opinion). The chair does not completely slide under the table, resulting in me not having back support and leaning forward to get my nails done. The chairs were not made for those tables. The pricing at this salon needs major adjusting. The prices are significantly inflated for a service. I have been going to this salon since they opened and have considered not going anymore due to the pricing issues. In my second to last visit I was charged $30 for a gel pedicure, the last time I was charged $50 for the same exact service, by the same exact person. I was charged for taking the polish off my toes. This is standard service and should be an included service with any pedicure. I would completely understand and agree to be charged if I was asking just to remove the polish with no other pedicure services, but I literally got a gel pedicure to get another gel pedicure and was charged. The only thing left to happened is to be charged to cut and file my nails down. Again, there is a lot of price inconsistencies here. Basic services are not included in a basic pedicure service. If it wasn’t for Alicia and Cathy I would no longer be going to this salon due to the pricing issues. I would also be rating...

The ladies are nice my pedicure was good -but my nails lifted the same night , I had to come back twice the day after and the day after that , had she listened I wouldn’t have had to come back twice she literally just glued the lifting nail down .As I type this it’s only been 4days since I got them done and I’m missing 2 nails and the rest are lifting. I should’ve went with gut and only let the do my feet but she told me she was good and she knew how to do my nails with a curve in it.once she seen my nails were lifting wen I came bk to get some fixed she told me she’s just mot good a doing curve nails and gave me a stick of glue to take home . Mind you I tipped them and this why I don’t tip new nail ppls until my next visit. But they were nice clean and got me In quickly, I didn’t have to drive so far into Tampa to get my nails done . I tried here for convenience now I’m outta 85) and depressed. No refund was ever offered no new set was offered she basically gave me glue and told me to go bk to who normally do my nails she don’t know how to make them curve - but that’s besides the point because even if you don’t know how to make the nails curve slightly, they still should not be popping off and lifting.this a new set smfh it hasn’t even been a week and I’ve been gluing on nails and others are lifting and painful . I’d never let them...
