I'm a grandma who took both of my granddaughters there on December 27, which was two days after Christmas 2025. I've been to quite a few nail salons in my days and I have to tell you that this rated as my #1 that I've ever been to, all three of us were taken care of at one time, we all got manicures the girls both got gel and I got a different type of manicure. The service was over the top. I look forward to visiting again in Virginia and taking my granddaughters to this salon, looking forward to geting pedicures as well this time. read more

The main nail tech there has always done well, until she didn't. I usually get dip on my nails. This particular time, she decided that she wouldn't remove it and just file it down and apply new dip over top. Not older than she charged me the same price as a new dip, but a day later I started to see black areas under my fingernails. I went back to her and she fixed it no problem, but the idea that I had to go back. In that same set, the black marks continue to come back. I kept going back. My doctor told me that it was fungus.. and that moisture had settled under the dip she laid over the old. I explained this to the nail tech. She kept telling me no, my doctor was wrong . In it all she never apologized to me for what she did. Charging me regular price and my having to go back and forth for repair, not to mention that she put me at health risk. My daughter still gets service there and loves her work but I warn her about not having this tech or any others cut corners and put her at risk. This review could have been avoided had the nail tech shown a tiny bit of remorse for what I went through and apologized. read more

I came in for a pedicure and they took me right away. Dan is amazing and kept my feet looking like perfection. I would definitely recommend Dan for any pedicures. Will for sure go back. I paid $70 +tip. The $70 included the basic pedicure with callus treatment and I added the paraffin wax. I'm definitely coming back here! I attached the pedicure price list. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

It's been twice now that I've went and the older man in there has dealt with my nails. The first time I requested to have them redone into a square shape but he was rough throughout the whole process. It was like he was in a rush so I thought maybe it was just that particular day. The nails looked deformed so I actually had to go home to clean up the shape. The second time I had to get the same nails removed but once again, the whole process was crazy and I was in fear of my cuticle because I kept getting grazed by the machine. Nice but I Won't be going back. read more

Great place to stop in for a quick and relaxing pedicure. Second time going here since I've been in the area and I will be returning. Try the Milk and Honey pedicure for some extra relaxation. No wait but I did call first since most customers that come here normally make an appointment. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I've been a loyal Escape Nails client for about 10 years, after trying what felt like every other salon in the Kingstowne/Franconia/East Springfield area. The service is terrific, the prices are very fair and the salon itself is clean and neat. So few of them are. Every now and then I pop in somewhere out of convenience for a quick manicure and, as nice as the people may be, the built-up dirt and general chaos in their salons and at their individual stations isn't pleasant. Mia is my go-to nail technician at Escape Nails. She gives 110 percent to her pedicures, spa-style and regular, and as for manicures always makes my often-awful, always-short nails took ten times better. When I'm there, I see other regular customers with their chosen technicians, women -- and men -- who keep coming back because of the great job they do and the calm, clean, friendly atmosphere. Like I said, I sampled many other salons. And I've poked my head into some of the newer ones for price checks and walked away every time. I haven't found anything to beat Escape Nails. read more

Good service, clean and quiet nail salon. Open on Sundays which is convenient. They have payment by Venmo and PayPal to minimize contact.

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! read more

I think I found my go to place. I went in Saturday at noon and had no wait!! Thank god for yelp reviews! It's deceiving from the outside since it's in a strip mall and they have the window plastered with words and services offered. Once you step inside it's very calm. One of the few places that is really clean and modern. I had Lee and he was quiet but very good. I will defiantly be coming back here again and it is was $25 for a basic pedi. read more

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 read more

I don't usually write reviews because I believe everyone has bad days. I am very picky about how I like my nails done. I have been to many nail salons but Escape Nails is one of the cleanest salon I have ever been in. I have been coming here for several years and I love the service I have received since day one. My nail technician is Mia. Mia has taken the time to get to know my nails, she treats me like it's my first time each time she does my nails. She has always made sure I was satisfied with her services. I recommend the shop and Mia to all my friends and family. If you are looking for an outstanding nail shop please go to Escape Nails, Frontier Drive in Springfield VA. You won't be disappointed. read more

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! read more

I used to go to Escape Nails & Day Spa and quit because they charged more for services than a shop nearer me. I wanted a special treat so I went back for a pedi and the prices are now the same. Maybe the other shop raised theirs over time, maybe Escape lowered - whatever the case, I will be back. These days I just do a pedi, so I will comment on my experience with that service. First, I do not like deep tissue massage on my legs & feet. I told them to please be very gentle and for most of the time she was. She forgot a little toward the end, but overall it was much more comfortable than the typical pedi. The service I received was good, but not great. You would think that with the number of nail spas out there that the competition would be better, but sadly it is not. Our hands and feet are all treated fairly cookie-cutter and Escape Nails is just enough better to get my repeat business. Wish they would let me put a tip on the cc also! If a grocery store can process a payment with a cash return from a debit card why can't they? read more

I'm very happy with the results! My nails look exactly how I wanted them and it only took an hour to get them all done. She also didn't damaged my nails as she filed them. Definitely would come again! read more

She got her acrylic fill (orange one in the picture) exactly how she wanted it very quickly for $25. I got my acrylic gel fill and and was grateful for the precision my nail tech used for $38, price was higher than I thought for a fill but he really did do a good job for me!

While I was a frequent patron of this establishment for many years; however, the constant price hikes are getting ridiculous! $25 for eyebrow waxing is absurd. When Ivy left, I was very apprehensive and held off getting my eyebrows done the but Cathy and Helen are really good too! The clientele did not drop when Ivy left. In fact it appeared to increase. They'd just raised it to $20 year before last. It's not worth it in addition to the number of growing negatives at the salon. read more

Molly & Mia are amazing!!!! They do an epic job and well worth the money! Only downside is you need cash to tip which is a bummer.

Worth the 2 hour drive! I'm a college student at James Madison University from Springfield and I haven't found anywhere that takes care of my nails like Escape. I see Mia at Escape every time and she is so consistent with her work. I decided to take off my acrylics about a year ago and now get SNS dip powder which is a little more expensive but it's so much healthier for my nails and makes them strong and unbreakable. They last for about 1-1 1/2 months so when I come home which is usually once every month I make sure to come here. Love this place! Super clean and great service all around. read more

My favorite nail technician is Mia. She does an amazing job every single time. This nail salon has been my go-to place for quite a whole. Their service is amazing. I've even gone back a couple of times to get my nails fixed the second day. Im just a super clumsy person so my nails get messed up really easily. They did charge me to fix it. read more

These ladies have to know that we can totally tell they are talking smack about us. It was plainly obvious. I am sorry that they hate their life here in America and have to wait on Americans. I won't subject myself to their hatred again. My tech was great. She was obviously embarrassed by the other two. The other two were sniping, mean, cruel people. read more

I just love this place for the very friendly atmosphere to cleanliness to the affordability. I'm sort of a late bloomer but my very first EVER mani/pedi was at this salon. Mia is just the sweetest but she has a whole shop full of very kind and helpful staff. She always makes me so comfortable and even though I only stop in when I'm in town, she definitely remembers small details from previous conversations. I'm a huge fan of Escape Nails. read more

Mia is GREAT! love the way she does my nails. very detailed and very clean salon. i would 100% recommend! Def make an appointment first though. Mis gets booked up. read more

I went in to get a refill but then the lady realized the job I had prior didn't allow for a fill and that I could either just get the gel or the dip. As she started to remove my acrylic nails I decided to just get nail polish and not get gel. I don't know if that bothered her but she filed my nails so thin after removing the acrylics that they are as thin as paper and most likely will break in the next few days. Then she proceeded to put nail polish and finished off by putting oil on my cuticles and just left my nails like that and said my cuticles would soak up the oil. What ended up happening was that the nail polish got fogged up by the oil, and some of my nails were never able to dry because they're covered in oil. So now I have to go home and remove the nail polish and basically just do it myself. I don't know the name of the lady I just remember she was in heels and a mini mouse apron. Her service was horrible she never really spoke to me and I don't know if she was mad or it's just her personality but I can tell you that I will never go back to that nail shop again!!! read more

I am the type of person that goes from salon to salon, aimlessly, hopefully, holding out my bear claws in desperation. This salon is just another pit stop on my endless nail journey of less than satisfactory manicures. The guy who did my gel French manicure was a little quirky but friendly, but kept coughing into his hand and then going right back into the manicure. Gross. The salon is cute and seems clean and also looks busy. So, 3 stars for appearances? For me, onward to the next one... read more

What a disappointment! I absolutely love the interior and relaxing setting and music at this spa. The comfy massage chairs are a huge plus...but with that said, after spending $67 on a pedicure and tips I was left with a huge gaping gash in my toe that took 2 weeks to heal, and the weakest, most easily snagged and breakable set of tips I have ever received. The pedicure lady literally took a chunk of skin out of my foot--putting any pressure on it while walking was awful. I have high hopes from them if they can perfect the basic techniques because the ambiance is lovely....here's hoping they will step up their game to make the services match the setting. read more

Mediocre results. The chairs were nice and I like that there seemed to be a lot of space. The tech was not friendly and did not listen to me. I originally picked my color for my pedicure and sat down. I asked her to not paint one of my nails, she originally thought I meant none of them. But I explained, only the right pinky toe. She said ok, then painted it anyway. This was after I noticed the add for the gel polish and said I would like to try it. She said ok and then just started painting my nails. While I get that they have the word "Spa" in the name, it really is just a nail shop and the prices don't justify the quality of work. At least the nails were not chipped. I'm not a fussy person but I won't be going back. I have definitely experienced better read more

Expensive. Far too expensive for what you get. Lee did my gel manicure and I could tell he was rushing because he had a customer waiting after me, even though I had an appointment. Apparently $35 gets you a very quick cuticle trim, during which I had to tell him to go back and trim long bits of cuticle that were clearly sticking out. The actual application of the gel polish was quite mediocre - 7/10 of my nails were missing polish on the sides and there were clear places where entire stripes of my natural nail on the sides were visible. He did fix them for me, but they still weren't completely filled even after that. Remember, this was $35. The salon has a nice ambiance, if it is a tad cramped. You have to give your tips in cash, so look out for that. My main problem with this place is that they are expensive compared to other salons in the immediate area but their service isn't indicative of what you pay. read more

I've been here 3 or 4 times and have generally gotten great service. Everyone that I've interacted with has been wonderful. The only exception would be the guy with the glasses, who was sub-par. Otherwise, I'm honestly stunned at the poor comments this place has received. The interior, as mentioned before, is very tastefully done. I'm a big fan of the chairs they have, which in my opinion are top of the line. They're obviously relatively new and give a pretty decent massage. Today they actually managed to knead out a few of my knots. But I digress... My technician today was Hannah, who left me with a beautiful pedicure. Her calf/foot massage left something to be desired, but seeing as she's pushing her mid 50's, I cut her a break. As far as hygiene goes, she broke out a packet of plastic-sealed tools that were in mint condition. I checked down the the line to other chairs, and all of the other technicians had done the same thing. If they hadn't been doing this the whole time, perhaps they've heeded the complaints of their reviews. She then ushered me to the back for my bikini wax. She was very careful and professional, and overall did a fantastic job. My brazilian cost me 45 dollars...45 DOLLARS. That's literally half of what most spas would charge. I give this place four-stars instead of five because of the occasional wait I would sometimes have, but more often than not it would be spent in their awesome massage pedi chairs, which I have no qualms over. read more

First time customer** Two days after getting my nails done (acrylics) they popped off while typing on the computer. They didn't even last a full 48 hours after getting them done. I will easily say this was one of the worst experiences I've had from a nail salon and am not going back. The amount of effort that went into my acrylics was just ridiculous and definitely something that doesn't deserve to be payed for. BIG thumbs down read more

This place is very clean and everyone does a nice job. I've been to 3 people so far. They work hard to accommodate people as soon as they come in. However, as a customer, I've never felt rushed. There is a nice sized staff so this is helpful. When I went this weekend every single pedicure chair was full and the ladies seemed so relaxed. They don't do a lot of loud talking among each other while working which I love. Nail time is my time to relax after a long work week! I've found my new go to spot! read more
