    I stoped going to get my nails done because most places I went to didn't feel welcoming, until I found this place and Hanah and her husband they are so sweet and nice and do a great job.

    TLDR: great service, friendly staff, and great nails!!! I've been coming to this place for years!! The staff here are incredibly kind and they do an amazing job serving you and ensuring a great service. For a gel manicure, the staff spent an hour shaping my nails to perfection, applying loads of layers to ensure color vibrancy, and massaging my hands for the ultimate experience. The prices are also more affordable than a lot of other places in the area. For the price and service, essence nails is unbeatable!!

    The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere was nice. I really liked the finished product; it came out exactly how I wanted it, and it didn't take as long to do as it has at other nail salons. 10/10 - would recommend to a friend, will be coming back soon!

    Great service, Tiffany is really patient and great at art design. Got my nice heartbeat and no face cartoon nails. ;) Love this place so much, it always on my To-Do List every time I visit Atlanta

    Finally a nail salon that is reasonably priced and does a wonderful job! I was a walk in & was taken care of right away. A gentleman brought me a cold bottled water and I sat down with Tiffany to do my nails. She was quick and efficient but my nails came out flawless. I asked for coffin shape and a medium length and I'm so happy with the outcome. From the shape, the length and the color I'm so in love with them and will definitely be back! Upon leaving I was given a $3 off coupon for my next visit. Very considerate and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    The BEST! I had a botched full set at another shop and came here today for a fill in. I called ahead a time to make an appointment and they had availability within the next hour and a half. The shop itself is in a convenient location with decent parking. I loved the fact they had a receptionist because I hate when a nail tech doing nails has to stop to answer the phone. Everyone is super friendly btw -- my nail lady's name was Kim and she moved very quickly and efficiently. It took an hour and a half but my nails needed the works it'll Probably take these off soonest

    Kevin did another awesome job on my nails. In addition to this they follow strict health guidelines. Great place and they're always willing to make the client happy.

    So I've been coming here for a bit, today was my fourth appointment! I usually book with Kevin (the absolute best and here's why!) and he always outdoes whatever I've asked him for. However, in the spirit of Halloween I wanted to do a bloody splatter on a white base! Not only did he do exactly what I wanted and better than the pic I showed, but I came home and saw my nails were GLOW IN THE DARK! I am hands down, the happiest I've been! Amazing job and excellent service! I will be back for many more!

    Inspiration pic

    I get my nails done once a year for my birthday and Kevin absolutely killed it! I showed him an inspiration picture and he had my acrylic on, filed and shaped in 12 minutes, he even helped me pick out corresponding colors to the picture to suit my skin tone. He took his time with the design and made sure that I loved it every step of the way. His detail and precision is beyond match. He kept an engaging conversation and was very nice to both my boyfriend and I. Definitely recommend coming here.

    Here is what they said they could do. I only wanted the colors. I did not get what I asked of them and the refused to fix it
    Kim R.

    Beware, majority of their pictures they stole off of google search. am pretty disappointed at my experience here. It was my first visit and was excited to try them because their reviews were great and the pictures looked wonderful. I literally spent 2 hours for SNS. I showed them a picture of how I wanted them to look based off a picture that THEY posted on their yelp page as if they could make it happen. They absolutely failed. The woman doing my nails had to get another lady to coffin shape my nails which she did by using nail clippers. That was a first for me but I tried trusting the process. She made them too small for my liking even after I explained how I prefer them. She tried to finish them with them discolored. I let her know I don't like them and one of the men came to me to fix them. He did an okay job. Now today, a day later, the discoloration is still happening and some even now have bubbles. The colors don't even match what I wanted and they advertised. I went back today and spoke to the man who fixed them and let him know I was not satisfied with my nails. Showed him the imperfections, showed him that they look nothing of the picture he himself told me he posted. The lighter color that continues to discolor, I told him I dis not want that color any longer and he said that he would only redo them with the same colors. I told him again I do not like the color, it's discoloring and it is not the color as the same as what he put up. Then tells me oh well that was gel polish and that SNS is shiny. I've seen matte SNS that look great. Mine unfortunately don't. Anyway, so now he wants to tell me that it was gel but said nothing of the kind when I asked to have it done the way he claimed they could do. They said they could do it. That if I wanted to do them all 1 color, he would charge me again full price and he would only redo them with the same colors that I hate. I asked to just have the lighter ones done to the darker color and he would not do it without charging me another $35 that I just spent the night before along with 2 hours of chair time. Definitely lost a customer in me. I went back to give them the opportunity to rectify their mistake but here's a lesson. When you have a good nail tech just like how men have a specific barber, never cheat on them. You get burned in the end. Now have to go back to my nail tech and have her fix this mess.

    If I could leave 1 star I would. Kevin was extremely rude & rough with nails. He called my daughter weird because she told him her nails were not long enough. He then took her nails off and told her she could not go to any other nail tech in the salon. I'm not sure what type of owner runs an establishment where he feels comfortable arguing with a child and getting upset because a person is not happy with a service or getting mad because a customer is telling him he is being rough and he continues to be rough. As a paying customer you should be able to express if you are not happy with a service.

    I love my nails! They do an amazing job here!

    Save your money and go anywhere else…read more Had not gone to IVY nails in awhile because they try to up sell constantly and it was getting annoying. However this morning I was in a pinch and needed to get a quick manicure before flying out to a wedding. My nails were decently short to begin with but the white tips were showing. I was never asked about shape, or anything really. Next thing I know she's putting the finishing gloss on and this was the finished product. Filed down so short and bulbous. The polish doesn't even cover the sides of the nail in some cases. I was on a phone call while checking out but called the manager as soon as I could to explain the situation. I sent photos and he tried to convince me there was no issue. So when I explained the issues, which to me were obvious... he came up with two solutions. 1) I go back in and they try to fix them. How? There is no more shaping because you've filed them down to nubs. 2) he offered 20% off the next time I come in. Come again??! There won't be a next time. Had they simply refunded the $50 I grossly overpaid for a crappy manicure, this review would not exist.

    So don't get me wrong Ivy nail bar is good at service and providing what you want... however they…read morewill charge you for everything they possibly can! Get ready to spend at least $100plus on nails that others would be at least 20% cheaper. They have a nice aesthetic and seems clean enough... just way overpriced Also when I asked about pricing and a breakdown it was almost like I was being a nuisance for asking questions on why they charge what they charge. I didn't like that feeling. I want to know what I'm spending on not just getting charged for arbitrary add ons for nails that last 3 weeks
