It's beginning to feel a lot like spring time! After living through the ridiculous New York winter, it's been great spending the week in the ATL. Whenever I'm here and need a mani or pedi I come to this salon. I lived in Atlanta for 4 years in college and of all the nail salons I've tried, this one is the best. Pros: * complimentary drinks (water and wine). * clean and comfortable space * many colors of polish to choose from * nice associates Cons: * finding parking can be tough in the area read more

I've been coming to see Anthony and he's been excellent he's never disappointed me. He have great conversation, we laugh and have a good time every time!! read more

I don't get my nails done often but when I do this is the place to go! They have the best and most up to date selection of polishes and everyone is very nice. Tons of seating- I had a group of 6 and we were all able to sit together. They have free wine and I always end up leaving a little tipsy- money well spent! Highly recommended! read more

Paid $30 for a gel manicure. I had a great nail service from Annie, but I'm not surprised at some of the negative reviews below. Passion Nails is upstairs/not on the ground level, so if you are driving through Inman Park you need to look up in order to find it. There is street parking but not a lot of it. They are going through some serious renovation right now and it can be very off-putting. It made me feel pretty uncomfortable because of the exposed walls, the hustle and bustle of employees trying to fix the place up, and just general chaos. I had a gel manicure from Annie, who was great. She was very thorough and careful; she showed me her progress and checked with me periodically to make sure I was happy with what she was doing. The process was painless and quick. She also refrained from small talk which I really appreciated (I know some people like it but I hate it!). I don't think everyone here is as great of a nail tech though. I did see one person drop her whole box of tools onto the floor, put them back into the box and then into a drawer, instead of immediately sanitizing them. There are also way too many employees in there just milling around and really took away from the atmosphere. That plus the construction will keep me away for my next manicure. (Also I was not offered any drinks, but according to the menu they are complimentary). read more

Lately service is very inconsistent and questionable cleanliness. Some of the tools don't appear to be sanitized between customers. Depending on who you get, very nice to very rude. Been going for a couple years, but will be looking for someplace new. read more

I went with my two girlfriends and one of them was so late that I had to reschedule twice over a three hour time span. We came in late for the most recently scheduled time and they still took us immediately and I was very thankful for that. Pro: Speedy walk in time Pro: Great leg massage with sugar scrub ($6 extra) and another great massage with the lotion afterwards. Pro: Great color selection Pro: Beautiful inside and relaxing Pro: Cheap starting prices Con: It felt like the ladies were talking badly about us and it became pretty obvious when they would make gross faces and laugh while pointing at our feet. Really loved that... Con: It shouldn't be $5 extra to scrape the bottoms of your feet, that should simply be part of the pedicure, everywhere else I go it is. A pedi is $20, add $6 for sugar scrub and add $5 for the foot scrape. There are a few more pedi options that go up by about $5 each time. Overall, I'm happy with my experience. If I'm in the area again, I would go. Wish I lived closer. read more

I hate leaving poor reviews, but I'm just not impressed with my mani pedi results. I got my nails done 4 days ago and the polish is cracking all over. My French tip pedi was very sloppy. Love that they offer complimentary wine, but I asked for white and they gave me red. I went here thinking it was a really great deal $45 for a mani/pedi... But it looks like I got what I paid for. I will say a couple of the ladies there were very nice. If I can recommend anyone it would be Lin. My friend got her pedicure done by her. Very sweet. read more

Passion Nails - Cracked polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I moved to Atlanta from New Jersey a year ago and I have to say, I LOVE Passion Nails. From the complimentary drinks to the patience they have for you. Cindy is my nail tech, she is amazing! Everyone is great here, but CINDY is by far the best. Tell her Chinny sent you, and thank me later. :) read more

Passion Nails - Endless polish selection! - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I have been a customer here since moving to Atlanta 4 years ago. It is clean, there is a large selection of polish options, and the nail techs are so nice. Calling ahead for an appointment really helps on busy days. Plus, they usually validate parking. read more

I asked for ombré sns and this is what I got. Instead of the woman just saying she didn't know how to do ombré, she did this to my nails. It was bubbly and uneven, and i t took her almost two hours. At least three other employees came by and laughed at what she was doing.... read more

This is the first time I have been to get my nails done at my favorite nail salon since February 2020 and it was wonderful as usual! I love the staff and they do a great job!! I shall return next month! Or maybe sooner! read more

This is the best in-town nail salon by far! Great service, and complimentary drinks to boot. Appointments accepted but not required. read more

Passion Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've never left a bad review, but this is the most accurate rating I can give this place. Service was really poor, and condescending. No attention to quality work especially for the price they charged. I would highly avoid coming here. read more

After other visits, some of the other technicians don't do as good as job, and rush it, and had polish smear/get messed up right after leaving a couple times. Still, it is close and option to have free wine. New flat-screen TVs too. read more

This place was recommended by a friend of mine who used to live in the neighborhood. She used to go and get her nails done. I do my own nails, but I come here to get my eyebrows waxed. It is usually the same lady all the time- so I think their concentration really is the nails and not too many people are qualified to do waxing. Luckily, it usually does not take a long time to get seen. You might have to park a ways away and walk over because there are alot of businesses in the area. I anticipate it getting worse once the Elizabeth St project is finished. They do a good thorough job for a reasonable price. So I keep coming back. read more

This place is a bit hit or miss. You don't often have to wait very long unless you come on Sunday afternoons. While everyone is friendly, the technicians are a bit hit or miss. I've had some really positive experiences, and I've also come out wondering what the heck just happened. The salon provide all popular nail services (e.g., gel, SNS) in addition to other cosmetic services (e.g., waxing, eyelash extensions). I have only tried the nail services and have been satisfied 75% of the time. My recommendation is to find a technician you like and try to stick with that person to the extent possible. read more

First time here, great service. Lina and Cindy did a really good job on my medi/pedi. I will be back!

Okay. This nail salon came recommended. They charged an extra 3.00 for stilleto nails and this is what we have. Hmmm. It looks like I will have to go back tomorrow for a repair. I wonder if they will charge for that? I'll do a complete review after services are rendered. read more

Passion Nails - Just left passion nails about two hours ago...it looks like I'll be returning tomorrow. - Nail Salons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Passion Nails is under renovations, as other recent reviewers have mentioned. Temporarily, it is very cramped and a bit chaotic. My expectations when visiting a nail salon like this are not relaxation not a soothing experience. I am there for "maintenance" and to get the task (mani/pedi) done well with efficiency. My pedi was great with Lynn, as was my mani (both basic). I was offered a drink (wine is complimentary). The location is clean and my tools had been sanitary wrapped. There is a nice selection of Essie and OPI colors. Street parking is limited but you can also park in the new public/private lot around the corner for about $3. Passion Nails is next to my hair salon and I was pleased enough to plan another visit. read more

Cindy did such a great job with my S&S. So happy. Love this place. Complimentary wine. Lily is also awesome too! read more

Definitely one of my favorite places to get my nails done! I came here to get a mani-pedi for prom & graduation and they took wonderful care of me! My nails were perfect! Nothing compares to the nice people, clean shop and lovely experience I had here!! Can't wait to be back!! read more

This was my 2nd appointment for SNS nails, the first time went great, this time was terrible. I had a pedi and SNS manicure, the pedicure was great, however the gentleman that did my manicure messed them up so badly. I don't know his name, an older gentleman, different from my first nail tech. He cut 6 of my fingers with his nail grinder, filed the tips unevenly, and spread the SNS powder over my nails onto the skin. I had to peel so much off of my fingers afterwards. They were completely misshapen and looked terrible. He also filed the bed of my nails down to the point where I could feel it on the skin underneath, it will take forever for them to heal. The very next day, one broke off, and another broke off the next day after that. I will be going elsewhere to have them fixed, awful experience. read more

I have been coming here for years, and at first I loved it. They have a great selection of colors, it is a pretty space, and they offer beverages during your service. However, over the past couple of months things have been going downhill-- they have rushed through the services and not done the best job, so I have been considering switching nail salons for a little while. Yesterday sealed the deal, and I will never be returning. I went in to have my gel removed and just get a polish change on my toes and nails. I didn't have time for a full mani/pedi and really didn't feel the need for one since I had just been in a week and a half ago. The technician (I don't know his name, but he was male) immediately seemed angry that I only wanted a polish change. He was extremely rough in everything he did, such that I was wincing in pain the entire time. He started trimming some of the cuticles on my toes, and I asked him to stop because (1) it was very painful and (2) I didn't want my cuticles trimmed (hence the polish change only). Despite my request, he continued stabbing away at my cuticles until he made me bleed. When he went to paint my toes, he did a fine job, but got polish all over my feet which is still there today. Then he turned to my hands. He again started trimming my cuticles and, although I told him it was not necessary numerous times, continued. He was so aggressive and rough that he made 7/10 of my nail beds bleed. I yanked my hands away numerous times and at this point just wanted to get the painting part over with since I had already paid. When he started painting he kept looking around the room and was getting paint everywhere except for my nails. When I asked him to go back and fix the one nail that he had "finished" (only about half of the nail was painted) he just started removing all of my nail polish. At this point (in tears by now) I just grabbed my things and went to the front and asked for my money back. They offered to have another technician do my nails, but at this point my hands were a disaster with blood and smeared nail polish. They did refund my money, but this was such a traumatic experience that I felt compelled to leave this review. Today, my cuticles are red, puffy and extremely painful. I only hope I don't get an infection from this terrible experience. I know that some of the technicians here are very good, but if you choose to go here, be careful!! read more

Great job, Stacy is the best. I really enjoyed my sns and pedicure

This place is the best. I went to Midtown Nails on Ponce for years but started to get a bad vibe in there that the owner was mean and their service wasn't good anyhow. Passions is great. All the staff are great, although I've only being seeing Stacy for 2 years now, she is my all time favorite (beware and make an appointment with her before going in or you will not get her, she is always booked-- I think that says a lot about her). They are clean, lots of great polishes, gel, waxing etc. They serve wine, beer, water, sodas and are always friendly. Highly recommended! read more

AWESOME NAIL SALON!!! My sister took me here when I was visiting from Cali, and boy was I impressed! I got the mani/pedi combo, and from start to finish my whole experience was amazing! There were SO many good colors(especially OPI) to choose from, and they even brought me a diet coke to drink while I had my pedicure. My nails ended up looking fabulous, and the woman even re-painted three nails (had a small disaster a few minutes after leaving salon) free of charge, and without showing any annoyance either (I mean hey, it was a saturday and busy--I would have been annoyed!). Their services are also totally reasonable--same price as you'd find at other places, but A MILLION TIMES better! My sister also got her eyebrow and lip waxed and they looked great as well! Can't wait to go back before I leave!!!!!!! read more

Never coming back to this place again. i said "JUST a pedicure" and the man decided to tack on extra services without even asking me. and when i went to pay (as i was unaware) he charged me for a service i did not ask for. He didnt get a tip from me needless to say. On top of this, he was very rough with my toes and cuticles. and when my girlfriend went to check out they also tried to charge her for extra services and she caught them doing it. Don't go there. Shady business practices and bad workmanship. read more

I went in for a gel manicure on a whim and Maya advised me to do an SNS manicure. She did a beautiful job and was super friendly.

Very unhappy with my experience and the final result. I was ignored for the first few minutes and then rushed the rest of the time. I asked my nail technician to fix a nail and he said he wasn't done yet... never fixed the nail. 7 out of 10 of my nails are uneven in shape. My nails and cuticles hurt. He over-filed the sides of the acrylics filing through where my natural nail would be. Honestly, just want them removed asap. Can't say I'll ever go back. read more

Love this place. Spacious salon, great location, validated parking deck in busy Inman Park. I've been going here for years and always leave happy. If available see Stacy or Diane, they will take good care of you. With deluxe massage chairs and your complimentary drink ; you'll enjoy the experience. read more

Not only can I walk here on the beltline so it's super convenient, but also this place is wonderful!! Especially Kate who is so awesome and creative!! I've gotten countless amounts of complements on my nails since she's started doing them!!! Also my SNS nails survived a tough mudder and a few softball seasons!!! Wouldn't go anywhere else to get my nails done!!! read more

Went here for the first time and I really like the space, staff, and amenities. I thought the selection of colors were pretty big to choose from. I really enjoyed being in the massage chair and the lady who did my nails was very attentive and allowed me to continue massaging throughout the whole pedicure (some places limit me...which I don't need to get into right now) I'm taking away one star from a 5 star experience is because they charge extra for regularly "shine" polishes which is a bit annoying. A lot of other places don't usually charge extra for regular polish. And it was a bit more pricey than the usual nail places. So I would come back, just sparingly. read more

Quality has really gone downhill lately. I just received a "manicure" that I could have done better on myself with my left hand. Sad to see such a large and well known spot lose its mojo. read more

I never will return. The pedicure was poorly performed with paint still on all over my toes as if a novice painter was doing the job. I was rushed in and out and my experience overall was dismal. read more

Awesome place! Really great customer service. They had the color I've been looking for! I went to three other nail salons before I could find the color I've been wanting. Anthony was really great and professional. This salon is one of the cleanest in Atlanta. Great spa vibe and very relaxing. Definitely plan on coming back! Thank so much! read more

I've frequented Passion Nails for almost 7 years now. I've ignored the male manager's moodiness but this last time I couldn't let his rudeness go unmentioned. I went in to get a fill in & he was very rude, telling the nail technician she couldn't wait on me yet when if made an appointment. You can't treat customers any kind of way. Now I go across the street to Serenity where they appreciate repeat customers from the community. read more

Yesterday was my first experience at Passion Nails - and I have to say this is the only place I will get my nails done. The day prior I had received a horrible mani/pedi from another place off Howell Mill and to say the least - it needed to be re-done. I believe their names were Cam and Bettie, and they did a fantastic job! The chairs were great, the complimentary wine was just what I needed (Hello, Monday). Cam did my gel nails with such great precision and detail and my pedicure looks great! Passion is priced super well for what you get! I will be taking everyone who needs a mani/pedi to Passion. Customer for the long run. read more

Very disappointed. I am more than happy for a restaurant, nail salon, etc. to turn me away if it has gotten too late in the evening. I had been to this salon on two occasions previously for a basic manicure, and had a fine time. I came in on a Saturday night with my sister--apparently, they close sooner on Saturday. We both walked in about 20 minutes before they were to close. If they would have said "hey, we're closing soon, so we won't have e time to get to you ladies," then I would have smiled and said "thanks, and see you tomorrow instead!" I would have been fine turning around. But they said "come sit down we'll be right over." My little sister was in town, so I was trying to have fun with her. They had us wait for 25 minutes at the table. They finally came over and it was one man who was extremely unpleasant and said "how long have you been here, you know we're closed right?" I indicated they told us to sit down 25 minutes prior but no one had serviced us yet. He proceeded to hastily grab my hand and asked what I wanted. I asked for acrylic with gel, and he sighed and basically said, "why would you do that? No one does acrylic. You should do dip." "I don't like dip," I replied. Throughout the next twenty minutes, he sat there angrily mumbling to himself and continuously saying how they were closed and why would I want acrylic? Mind you, my sister had now been sitting for about an 45 minutes with no one having talked to her. Finally, an older gentleman came over and began working on her. My assumption is that he told my yech to stop being a jerk, because my tech just stopped talking and quickly finished the work. Oy. Well, all that being said, we were at this salon for an extremely long time AFTER they closed, and we would have been totally cool with being told no. Then my tech basically acted as if it was our fault. All told, our bill was $140, and we were like...just get me out of this miserable place... Two weeks later both of our nails lifted. Went to another salon and they were like..."these were really hurried and clearly not done professionally." read more

Very nice and clean establishment. I had an amazing pedicure. My heels feel so soft and they didn't even scrape them off with that razor thing. It's been 5 days and my feet still feel great.
