    Acrylics with gel polish in OPI shade malaga wine. I adore them!
    Christina F.

    This is the best nail place there is! Everyone is so nice and they do a quality job every time. My nails last up to a month (gel and acrylics) and a few times even longer. They are taking lots of COVID precautions and have plexiglass barriers up for both mani and pedi stations and they have everyone wearing masks and they make everyone wash their hands when they first come in. My nails always look so so beautiful! I have had them done by all of the nail techs and been super happy but these red stunners are done by ANDY. I've never had anything but perfection from this place. They even did my pedi completely over when one time the shade wasn't a perfect match (not their fault, the bottles said it was the exact same but they dried differently). Sometimes they are very busy so I do recommend an appointment but they will gladly take a walk in on the rare occasion that they don't have someone. Also they have gone way out of their way to fit me in and I super appreciate that! Please tip these people correctly. What would you expect to make for spending an hour on someone's feet? Also if you come in as a group each person is a separate tip and hands and feet should be tipped for as individual services! Don't just hand them $5 at the end. I see it all the time and they are nice about it but it's in bad taste. Be classy give them a real tip! They work really hard and for long hours and deserve to be paid fairly for their skilled work. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Rant over. Anyways you won't be disappointed.

    I used to come here a while back when I lived closer to the salon. I loved the ambiance and how friendly and attentive the staff was. I decided to pay them a visit after going to various home nail techs. The set I had was OLD, misshaped and lifting and I wanted to feel secure that someone could properly care for my nails. The nail tech I saw was TONY. He didn't hesitate to help me and encouraged that I tell him EVERYTHING I wanted in our sit down. He advised I remove the set I came in with and he would start me off brand new. I was worried one because these were my real nails and I didn't want them damaged and two because I did not want to spend all day in the nail salon. Not only did Tony move fast..the work was painless and EXACTLY what I asked for. He was very friendly throughout our session which really goes a long way for me. I will definitely start regularly attending and I advise when you visit..ASK FOR TONY!

    Left: Fresh manicure, right two: Less than 24 hours after I had my mani, my nails were chipping!

    I was weary of the mixed reviews for this nail salon but I was in desperate need to take off my gel manicure since I haven't allowed my nails to breathe since March... oops! I decided to pop into Escape this past Sunday (6/28) since it was close to my house and waited about 5 minutes for a basic mani/pedi. The nail shop is located in the same shopping plaza as Best Buy, Ulta, and Petsmart. The furniture is a little outdated and the shop itself is small and a little cramped. My nail tech, Henry, gave great massages (as another reviewer had mentioned), but he wasn't personable at all and I totally felt rushed during my experience here. He buffed down my gel nails with the electric buffer because he didn't want to manually file them down and although he appeared to be detail oriented, he painted over my cuticles on both my toes and hands. Besides the massage, another positive was that when I accidentally hit my hand while drying them, Henry stopped working on the customer he had after me to redo my fingernails. In less than 24 hours, my nails began chipping on both hands. I've had regular manis at other salons and they've lasted up to a week without any issues! Even though their prices are hard to beat in this area, (I paid $37 for the mani/pedi, plus $5 to remove the gel manicure) I'll opt to go elsewhere next time around.

    I come here quite frequently and to be honest... I'm never disappointed. I always leave 100% satisfied. I will tell you that the language barrier can make encounters a little difficult but, they take the time to understand what it is you are requesting. Also, as a disclaimer - my first experience here was not all that great (judging me, assuming because of how old I look) that I didn't know what the spa packages included BUT once I spoke up, they realized that I knew what I should be receiving as a part of the package. They jumped right on it. I've now been back several times and honestly don't see me going anywhere else!

    My tips and dip powder nails look gorgeous! Mia did a great job and I'll definitely be going back

    The salon is clean and the workers take their time to make sure you get what you want!! I would 10/10 recommend. I had Mia and she was awesome

    Rebecca L.

    Mia is awesome! I just showed her a picture of how I want my nails to be, she nailed it (no pun intended l). She took her time and did it very meticulously. It was my third time going to this nail salon, and I love it. All the ladies that works there are very friendly and professional.

    That's the salon terrible work.

    Very bad salon . Very rude and not clean . The work is very terrible . Don't waist your money and go there. Find another pl I didn't admire the cleanliness of your place and that's not true , and I will never come back because you guys don't know your job and the worst nail and spa I ever seen in my entire life . I am advising everyone to not go to that salon and save your money and just go and search for another place , you will regret it .and for my wife her nail work fell down in 2 days and she did it her self . See all reviews and see how bad is the work plus over price .

    I took this photo about 32hours after the pedicure to show the polish job and the redness on the toe

    I was looking for a spot convenient for an after-work pedicure before a week-long vacation. Apparently this is one of the "cheaper" (ha) spots in this area to get nails done and it had decent reviews so I figured I'd give it a go. Atmosphere: I went on a Thursday night, so it wasn't crowded at all (maybe four other people? But it's a decent sized salon). The room is pretty nice looking; as others have commented, the items hanging from the ceiling are a cute touch. The pedicure chair was comfortable, but the massage rollers aren't great (if you like that kind of thing, which I usually do). There's some instrumental music that plays, so it's relaxing, but there's a tv with the closed captions on too if you'd rather have something to watch. Service: To start with, the water was tepid at best when I first dunked my feet in, so I asked her if the heat could be turned up. She seemed a little annoyed by this, but there wasn't really an attitude. I had my foot out of the water when she reached down to increase the temperature and the initial hot blast hit my right foot and BURNED. This was REALLY hot -- which is great to increase the temperature! But she probably should have known NOT to hit my skin directly if it were that hot. I jerked back quickly and winced, she asked if I was okay, but I didn't make too big of a fuss, so there was no apology. I would say that the cuticle clipping technique was a little too close. I actually had to resist pulling my foot away a few times because it actually kind of hurt. I also have a blisters on my 'ring' toes, and she clipped at these pretty harshly. The right one still hurts (it's stinging even the next day), although I'm not sure if this is due to the clipping or the burn (because this was the same foot that got hit with the water). When it came time to paint, she seemed to do a pretty quick job, but I figured, "she's an experienced professional, she knows what she's doing!" The photos I took make it seem like the nail's not even fully painted --like it's already grown out a bit? (See photos) Anyway- immediately AFTER painting (weird, no? It's always been before in my experience) she insisted on helping put my flip flops back on, which I told her wasn't necessary. But she insisted it's okay and started *maneuvering* the foot... and I figured, "she's an experienced professional, she knows what she's doing!" Aaaand- smudge; polish on the skin. So, I asked her if she could touch it up, and she let out this big *SIGH* and slid across the room to grab the nail polish remover brush. See photos- her 'effort' to remove it was fruitless. The entire process felt pretty quick but I suppose it did last almost half an hour. Also, this was the first pedicure I've ever gotten where she actually *asked* if I wanted the nails cut... ? Is that normal? My last pedicure was in October... if it had been a week ago, I'd understand but really? Overall: She didn't really talk to me, but the girl seemed nice enough and the place was a cute little spot (seemed clean and everything) ..so I have to give it more than just one star. This job can't be an easy one, working with people's feet and often catering to those who think their $ is more valuable than manners. I myself am generally not one to complain, and in fact, I was super apologetic when I asked for the heat to be turned up/the smudge to be wiped away. But for the service and the paint job, I wouldn't say it's anywhere near worth the $28. I've had much better experiences at much cheaper places in my home town.

    Peppermint pedicure please!

    I love this place and it's my favorite nail place by far! I've been coming here for years but took a two year hiatus (moved, baby, etc.) and just came back today. My guy Vincent is no longer here but Mia is my second go too and she's wonderful as well! The reason I love this place is for my ingrown toenails. I walk a lot in DC with heels and pointy shoes so my feet and toe nails are always jammed into something. Escape does a fantastic job of removing them without bloodshed or pain. I love that they are friendly, clean and priced reasonably. Only downside is the cash tip but well worth a trip to the ATM for the service! I know live 30 miles from here and will be making the drive to get my mani/pedis here!

    French Manicure by Linda (natural nails)
    Barbi H.

    I've had a few experiences here around DC trying to find a nail salon and am happy to say Escape hasn't been bad. My 1st experience was for an eyebrow wax with Vincent. He did a basic job and I was impressed with how the salon seemed clean, and well spaced. I didn't realize that they were not able to add tips to the total amount of services and had no cash. When I left he was very courteous and said, "No big deal." For my 2nd experience, I made sure I was prepared and walked in for a few more services. I made sure to give V his tip $ and then sat down with Linda. I asked for a basic pedi, eyebrow wax, and a natural nail French manicure. I had a wonderful experience with her and would highly recommend her services! She was quiet, but extremely pleasant. I personally did not notice a problem with equipment sterilization and to be honest, compared to other places in the area, their salon seems to be a lot cleaner. So, for me I'll be returning. :D

    LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I used to get my mani/pedi done here all the time before I moved to Seattle. The decor is fun and always changing with the seasons/holidays. I love the fact that they keep all their tools/buffers/implements clean! Everything is sterilized and put into a sealed package and are opened in front of you. They also have curtains that close off your pedicure chair if you want privacy. Their pedicure bowls are really cool too! It's like your feet are in a tub of GOLD! My favorite tech is Mia, so if you book an appointment, make sure you tell her Cindy sent you! She also does amazing facials and massages too!

    Love their seasonal designs.
    Jessica L.

    Went here right before having my baby and STILL love this place! The prices have gone up a little, but it was still worth it. My feet have never felt better and after being so heavily pregnant, they definitely appreciated the hour long massage from the spa pedicure.

    Amazing result for 60$

    Called to make an appointment on a Thursday and they said to come in any time. I was late but they…read morewere still able to take me right away. There was a steady flow of people but it wasn't overly crowded around 1:30pm. There's parking in front and around the side. The space is clean and bright. My technician was Lucy and she offered me a drink (soda, water, tea) which was really nice. I got the classic gel pedi ($55) an acrylic fill with gel ($45) + chrome (+$15). The pedi was relaxing - I like the scrub that they use - and massage chairs are solid. Overall she did a good job with everything (if I'm being a little picky, some corners were sharp versus smooth/rounded and the dark color felt like I might have needed a third coat to be more even). The acrylic fill was not bad. With the drill, sometimes it was a little too rough on my cuticles to the point I was wincing or said "ow" a couple of times (this left my fingers a little sore the next day). Some of the acrylic powder didn't make it all the way to the edge of my nail on two fingers. The painting was decent; though some of the nails had too much paint so it was on my cuticle. For the chrome, it was pretty but this being my first time ever, I didn't know until after that I ended up getting more of just a shimmer (versus something like the Hailey Bieber glazed donut/reflective chrome look). All in all, the experience was pleasant and I'd come to this nail spa again! **Update:** it's been just past two weeks post service and many of the edges of the acrylic seem lifted. My one thumb nail, both the acrylic and chrome/paint has chipped off around the tip. Not sure if I'd go back for another acrylic fill here now...

We have also gotten our other friends to come to Kate and they also love her. Kate is an independent nail artist and is absolutely amazing at what she does. She pays attention to detail, will take time to prepare your nails properly (including proper gel removal that won't damage your nails), and is super sweet and mindful all around. You will notice the difference between her service and a typical nail salon you go to. I certainly did, along with the amazing results she produces.. this and her insanely low prices compared to nail salons (I would be paying around $200 at other salons for the same complicated designs I get vs less than $100) are what got me and many others hooked. SHE ONLY DOES GEL (no extensions) BUT LISTEN UP FOLKS.. the gel she uses is so STRONG. I used to think only SNS could keep my nails long and strong but NO. I keep my naturally long nails now with her gel and they rarely break.. and I have WEAK thin nails. So if you want long nails but currently have short nails, just go and get a cute manicure from Kate and the next time you go to her your nails will be long and you can have a naturally long nailed manicure. Once you go to KATE you can NEVER go back.
