On the Road: Kleur

by Beth Livesay | July 25, 2019 | Bookmark +

Kleur got its start with lacquer nail art, so lacquer still has a presence in the salon.

The East 4th Street area of Downtown Long Beach is known as “retro row” for its vibrancy and creative spirit — the ideal place for Kleur’s nail art-focused salon.

Presto gel-polish is preferred for trendy nail designs.

The artwork of the four technicians who work at Kleur is featured prominently up front on nail tips.

In addition to nail art, the salon menu includes vegan manicures, pedicures, and add-ons such as essential oils, Epsom salt, and sugar scrubs.
