Always love coming here! Been a customer since 2010 and CN is the best! Highly recommend!

The WORST skilled nail techs ever in here. Stay away, this is your sign and warning. I do my own no chip manicure at home and haven't been at a nail salon in a year. Today, unfortunately, one of my nails broke and I really didn't want to file it down so I came here to try and have them fix it thinking how hard can it be for them to mess up ONE nail. Spoiler alert! Was not hard at all!! My nail tech had my one nail under the lamp for 4 minutes every time . She puts so much acrylic powder on my broken nail which I thought she was going to file, and she did, just ONE SIDE. So my nail looks like it's growing on an angle and I tried to explain to her that my nail is crooked because did her filing just one side and she keeps cutting me off and not listening. I gave up so I just let her do her thing. She paints my nail, cures it and then .... Continues to file that one side. Now my nail is completely RUINED. I don't care about the money but if I'm paying you for a service then I expect you to at least have competent people doing this. Yes I gave her a tip bc I feel bad for older people but I am so mad that you can never trust a nail salon. Below is a picture of my nails on the left hand which is my own work and the pointer finger on my right hand is their work. Tell me I'm wrong! read more

I randomly stopped in here and wish I didn't. I had to get gel nails taken off and a regular manicure done. Prior to the service, I explained that I didn't want any cuticle care. I had to repeatedly ask the nail tech, Tammy, not to do my cuticles to which she said "just a little" but went in to the point where I had to yank my hands away and tell her that she was hurting me. She ended up cutting several of my fingers and also 3 days later and one of my nails is inflamed. She was way too rough overall, didn't listen to my requests, and didn't even do a nice job on the nails nor did she clean up the excess nail polish that she got on my skin. To be fair, it seems like there's a really good male tech that people in the shop were really loyal to. read more

Passion Nails - She dug into my cuticles so hard (after I requested no cuticle care) and ended up cutting me. - Nail Salons Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

I went to their nail salon yesterday, and it was honestly the worst experience. Their google listing says they close at 7:30pm, but when I called and asked if I could come in late due to traffic, they agreed. However, when I showed up, the old grumpy guy Andy kept insisting they close at 7pm repeating it over and over again he was going home. I was super frustrated because I had already confirmed a later appointment. Needless to say, the nails turned out awful and he never used a base coat, because of this they are already chipped. Total waste of time and money! read more

Always a pleasure coming here! It's so relaxing and Cn as well as Helen are always on point! Thank you read more

I use to go to passion nails for years when I lived in the neighborhood, and I loved it. Recently, I've been going and having some bad experiences but today has topped it all. I called and asked for a gel overlay and no chip pedicure and he told me they can do it and told me to come right in (great, considering today the day before New Year's Eve and I know it can get busy) I came in and chose my color as usual and within a few minutes I was in a seat. The lady who was helping me started off fine. I like when my tech is a little rough, makes me feel like she's putting in good work. But this lady cut me three times and by the fourth time I had a reflex to shout "hey man" because this time it really hurt. My nails are crooked and the polish was slapped on. I figured ok, maybe someone else will do my nails. Nope, she proceeded to file the polish and tried to put powder on my nails. I tried to explain what gel overlay is and they tell me they don't do it. So the owner tells her to take the gel and put two coats before the gel polish. She didn't even cut down or file my nails. She did not even touch my cuticles but a few spots where the polish was on my cuticles. After she was done, decided to shape my nails. I've been doing my nails for over 15 years and this has been one of the worst experiences I've had a very long time. I am sorry but I will never step into passion nails for another service. This is sooo disappointing. read more

They did an OK job on my dip powder nails. Shaping could've been better. They lack colors for Dip Powder. Not much to choose from, otherwise they are a nice salon. read more

Passion Nails - Lack of color options. - Nail Salons Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

I have been coming here since I was in high school. Nearly 8 years later; and now living 45 minutes away, I still refuse to let anyone but CN do my nails. He is nice, funny and does an incredible job with my nails. I recommend CN to all of my friends, because I am ALWAYS getting complimented on my nails. I let CN pick my nails half of the time and he always hits the nail on the head! If you are looking for a great experience, look no further than Passion Nails! ‍ read more

I believe I stopped in here a few years back to get my nails done, and it was okay... but this last time... YIKES! I stopped in because they were taking walk-ins. I was told to pick my color for my manicure and while I was looking a woman told me to sit and brought me samples of color. I picked one and away we go... so she's doing my nails and it starts out normal... I'm just getting a mani, no gels or tips or anything like that... but she takes out a dremmel and runs it over the nails on my right hand... quick like. I'm not a fan of the technique but I have had it done before. Things go along and she finishes my nails and it occurs to me she DID NOT run the dremmel over my left hand. No, I couldn't possibly remember it that way... but that was the case... without a doubt, she did not! How to I know? Because when i removed the polish, I had dents in all my nails on my right hand but not my left... it's been at least 2 mos and they haven't entirely grown out. I will NEVER stop here again! read more

My 11yr old recently came in to remove her no-chip today. Sad to say, we will not be returning to this unprofessional establishment, along with their staff that lacks common decency and work ethic. My daughter nearly left in tears when her nail tech made a comment on her eyes brows, stating "your eyebrows are horrible, you need to get them done". Due to embarrassment, she mentioned this once we were out of the shop. Sad to see how "professionals" are contributing on raising insecurities for younger girls. I will make sure to vocalize my opinion. All the best, Your local neighbor read more

Sam is by far THE BEST nail ARTIST!! I have yet to meet anyone else who can come close to his skills.

I was told that I should get a no chip gel nail polish only for it to start chipping in 5 days. Came back to the establishment and I requested for it to be fixed. The person who did it disappeared. No one else was willing to do my nails for me as Kim was the one who messed up my nails. I will NOT be returning. read more

I LOVE this place. I was recommended to come here by one of my friends whose nails I always loved. The first time I came, I didn't have CN do my nails, but every other time I have. I go in with no requests, aside from asking for my nails to be filed down and if I do/don't want gel nails. He typically asks me if I want a certain color, but I tell him "whatever you do will be great," and it is! I would recommend calling in advance, especially around holidays, but I will never go anywhere else/to anyone else. (I posted four pictures, which were all of nails done by CN) read more

I came to this place because my friend recommended it, but I just wanted to say that this was one of the best places for nails I have ever gone too. My nail tech, Annie, took her time and made sure each nail was perfect over and over again. As someone who hops around nail salons tying to find a spot I like- I can finally say I found it. read more

Went there to get a full set done for my daughter, per usual. And let me say that we will definitely not be going back.. After telling her we didn't like what she had done, and after arguing back and fourth, she grabbed my daughters hand, and took us by the owner. Because she had done a French tip, the only thing that could have covered the tip was to get gel polish. We agreed and my daughter and the lady went back to the station when all of a sudden the owner yelled across the room " I don't think mom wants to pay for gel, just do regular polish". I felt humiliated. Mind you there were other customers there as well. The owner and the staff are very disrespectful and don't what they are doing.. After going there for years I finally recognized the terrible customer service they grew to have. read more

Passion Nails - The caption says it all. - Nail Salons Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

Be careful when you visit here. They will tell you different prices that gradually get higher and higher. I called on two different occasions to ask how much a full set of acrylics were. They told me $28. I walked in to ask again to be sure, making it seem as if I was unaware. Again, they told me $28. But my nail tech was trying to scam me! -I always ask for powder acrylics because a lot of the time, when you ask for gel they'll give you powder anyways and charge you more! So I stated that I wanted powder in the beginning before she started my nails. While she was doing my nails she asked if I i wanted gel acrylics, mind you she was already applying the powder acrylics... I asked her what was the difference (but I already knew very well what the difference was) and she couldn't explain. She just said it's better quality. -When I told her I will try it the next visit, she said that she was already applying the gel acrylics and that it would now be $33! Then she said the total price will be $38 because of my length (medium nails) and for gel polish. I never told her I wanted gel polish and I picked up one that wasn't gel. I challenged her by stating how I can tell the difference between the acrylic and she got defensive, cut my nails short, and said "Fine $28" with an attitude. So I left out with short nails for $28 dollars and also paid $3 tip. Be CAREFUL! If you are unaware about things like average pricing, different acrylics, different polishes and ects they will definitely try to scam more money out of you! I notice that nail salons in the suburbs are prone to doing this a lot. If you want QUALITY nail service while also paying a good price go closer to the city. The most I ever paid for acrylics was $25 and the nails were beautiful! $28 is already high as it is. I just can't believe the nail tech really tried to "up sell"/deceive me into paying $38 while I was sitting right in front of her, paying attention to how she was doing my nails. read more

They had mildly good customer service. And it seemed as though they didn't know English well. The lady that did my nails was a bit rude and it was hard to under stand what they were saying at times. There was one guy who knew english better than the rest. Nothing was fully sanitized and I could see that there full attention wasn't on me but was on herself because it was nearly time for her break. My polish is already chipped and it has been three hours since I had gotten them done. It was also very confusing walking in to know which polishes were for which price and the man there tried to help us but it didn't really work. read more

I have been going here for a few years, Tina is the best for pedi's. I made a 630pm appt and I was seen right away. :) She def. has a process and she has great hands! Her massages are so good -she takes her time and does not rush,which I love. She is pretty accurate on the polish job too~ Had my first no chip also w/ a fill in. The main man possibly the mgr - he is the go to for tips/no chips. He was quick and did a GREAT job. Super nice guy also. I am glad they are so close to home **they rock!! read more

I called a head to make an appointment and they said sure come in which I thought was strange because he didn't even ask my name. When I arrived I noticed other people were also waiting. I waited 20 minutes before she saw me. Then she seemed in a rush and cut my cuticle and I bled. It's only been a little over a week and my no chip looks like shit and I spent 42 with tip. Will not be returning . read more

Passion Nails - Already peeling up after a little over a week - Nail Salons Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

All i'm going to say is the guy doing my nails managed to cut me with the nail file 3 times during my appointment. I kept pulling my hand away from him because he was being so aggressive and not once did he apologize, even when my blood was literally dripping down my finger. Now all i hope is that I don't get an infection from this place. read more

I can not say how amazing this place is ! From their staff to their work . They are very professional and work and honor appointments also take walk ins CN is amazing and very patient . I had to switch nails techs as I wanted to be in the nail salon as little as possible and have nice fresh clean no chip manis in a decent amount of time . And I got that here ! read more

Well, I didn't think that spending hours at a time at a tanning salon would be a good idea, but CN does the Best nails ever! He has never let me down. He is a true artist, and the new salon is so beautiful! I love all my Passion Mail employees. It is been over two years since I went into the salon, and when I walked in he said, hey Missy, like it had been two weeks since he's seen me read more

This is a low key spot that I hope the rest of the public doesn't catch on to :) The aesthetic of this shop is so calming, although it can get a little cramped - there are only 3 seats in the waiting area and maybe 4 stations each for mani/pedi. They take their time here and the job here never feels rushed. I've had pedicures that lasted for weeks. I can't speak to the gel fills or full sets but next time I'm in the state of mind for claws I'll give this place a shot. :) My only beef is that they are closed on Sundays. read more

I don't know how this place has high reviews. Perhaps it was just my nail tech but still... When I went there there was only a few rows of colors to pick from that were OPI and Essie brand. Some of the bottles were crusty and half full. I ended up picking a no name brand and the tech had to add nail polish remover and shake it up bc of how thick the mixture was. As for my nail tech, I was so excited to get a massage for my hands and feet but was extremely disappointed when she just put on lotion and took it off. No massage! What's that about? That's probably my fave part of a ped and mani. Also when she did my manicure she kept grabbing my hands and throwing them as if they were dirty rag towels. Why? I noticed later the pinky and ring finger had lines on them. Possibly from her making my hands flail about. Probably the most annoying thing was that she cut my nails as I requested and then asked if I liked the length. After I said yes that is a good length, she continued to file my nailed not one, not two but 5 times during the process she filed my nails. Maybe that's why the mani took an hour!!! Suffice to say I will not be going back there. read more

Many people come in so all they do is rush. Maybe have more workers because this isn't exceptional. When she was doing my pedicure she didn't shake the bottle well enough and this is what happened. On my manicure I got ombré and there are bubbles. read more

Just another bul..t place!!! Sitting here right now. This guy didn't even take all my previous nochip off!! More over he couldn't even make me any shape, what grew after last time stayed and it didn't bother him to put new no chip on top of all these and my cracked nail! I am so mad!! And now he is doing my pedicure and no better job here neither! Hardly is taking a dead skin of, sereosly HARDLY!!! Terrible service, by the way while I was sitting- another lady came who as I found out did an appointment with him, but he felt alright to take me in front of her for nochip and pedicure!!! Wtf!!! Now he is hardly doing anything! And I was right- he didn't even polish my hills!! Deffinetly no tips for him and never comming back!!!!! Worst experience ever!!! read more

BEST NAIL PLACE EVER!!! I got my nails done EXACTLY the way I wanted and thats the FIRST time since I've started doing my nails! I wanted gel, french, and thin at the base so they look thinner and more real and that's EXACTLY how my guy did them! I'm only coming here from this day on! Highly recommended! Their pricing is good too! All around five stars for passion nails! read more

This used to be my go-to place because it was right by my work! I still love it but don't go as often since it's a little out of the way now (my office changed). Always do a fantastic job on my gel nails and gel fill (pink & white). I mean always; my nails are always the perfect length and look very natural. The little guy is my favorite and I always make sure I go to him even if I have to wait. Price is very reasonable, place is clean (on the small side though). Staff is polite and professional. Never had a problem with a walk-in, longest I've waited was maybe 15 minutes and that's because I was waiting for "my guy" to finish a client. Note: there are 3 or 4 nail stations and 3 pedicure chairs so probably wouldn't be a perfect place for a large party. Also, adult crowd! YAY! I've never seen any kids there even though there is a high school across the street (thank god!) Note: there is a dunkin donuts next door! (yay!) and a CVS in the parking lot, so you can get a coffee or run an errand if you have to wait! whoo-hoo! Also, the restaurant next door (Andrew's) is yummy; it's an affordable sit-down place with a bar and a fireplace. In the cold weather I like to pop-in for lunch. read more

If you are planning to try this place out...DON'T. From the minute you walk in you feel like you have entered a very old place of business. It felt dirty and too crowded. Almost a fire hazzard. Ok so let's talk about the service. Horrible is a great way to describe it. I had a 10am appointmemt on a Saturday for a fill in and pedicure. I sat down for my fill in first. Let me remind you this is my first time coming here. I told the guy I wanted to do colored tips. He said not a problem. My only problem with this was there weren't many colors to choose from. Anyway, as he began working on my nails he proceeded to tell me what he was going to do...um no. I am paying you so listen to what I want. Well he didn't. He argued with me on what looks better. Well that's his opinion. I had to repeat myself about 5 times before his response was "ok well your the boss". So now we move on to the pedicure. I was placed in the chair and was told someone would be right with me. I waited and waited. Someone finally came to the chair about 40 minutes later. Come on people don't pack in all these people if you don't have enough workers. I finally left at around noon and was completely aggravated rather than relaxed. I will never return here. read more

I've been coming to my nails done by CN for about two years now and I will never go anywhere else. He does them exactly how I want them every time. I'm always getting compliments and being asked where I get them done. It is also reasonably priced. A word of advice, if you want CN to do your nails call in advance for an appointment because he is usually busy. You can also bring in a photo from Pinterest (where I usually find mine) or Instagram and he will do his best to replicate the pic. They take cash and credit cards as well. Passion nails also has an awesome Instagram account (@passionnails60068) where you can check out different nails CN has done. read more

I came here because of the good Yelp reviews and was sorely disappointed and puzzled as to the four star rating. The staff were rough and unfriendly. The nail polish selection was sad; they do have Essie and Color Club but none of the recent release colors. The don't have fans for drying, only UV light. I left with wet nails and it ruined my afternoon because I couldn't do anything for hours. Also, a standard mani-pedi took over 90 minutes, which is simply unacceptable. read more

She is very polite, easy to talk to & professional. I HIGHLY recommend Lynn & this salon, as I am now a loyal customer. read more
