Went in to get a regular manicure and pedicure, though mom got the deluxe of each. Hers took about twice as long, but I'm so happy with mine. Great color selection for standard, dip, and gel options. I got rhinestone red-y. It turns out you only get a shoulder rub with a deluxe package, but that's fine, I was happy with the chair massage during my pedicure. Mom was upset at the lack of cuticle treatment during her dip manicure. I understand not using oil, since the dip process involves powder, but they didn't even clean up the cuticles with the tiny scissor things (don't know the name, sorry). Overall good experience, and I'll go back, but not for that specific service (dip) if they won't even clean up cuticles for a manicure. read more

I wish I had read other comments first. very poor service. I went in for a gel pedicure (which was actually not the issue) and gel x manicure. They told me they could do a gelx fill in which was cool but the tech who did my pedicure did not offer that service. I waited 40 minutes or more for the person who supposedly did offer the service to be right with me. Moved me around the shop 3 times and no ETA for when I would be serviced. I honestly feel like they deliberately mislead me or the tech just didnt want to do the service and stalled. Probably took bets on how long I would wait. Updating this to say I left without getting the fill in. No apologies, no offer for an appointment or discount on next service but there won't be a next time. read more

I had a lovely time here last Friday night getting a mani and pedi. They provided wine while I was getting my toes done! You can also get a little fruit snack. I had an appointment and was seated quickly. The shop was very clean and my technician did an excellent job. Shoutout to Dina! We chatted a bunch and she did an excellent job!! I got gel on my natural nails and regular polish on my toes. It's now one week later and nothing has chipped! Not a finger or toe! Would recommend because I'm very hard on my nails and lasting a week is much better than expected for me personally. read more

I went here in October and forgot to write this review. I've gone here a few times and I personally feel like it's very overpriced even for just the gel manicure and pedicure. The vibe is very nice. I like how it's decorated. I never see any customers in there when I go. They are all just sitting down and talking. The front desk girl was super sweet and is really good at what she does. My nail polish usually lasts 2 weeks but it lasted me 1 week if that. I was very frustrated considering how much I paid. read more

Poor hospitality! I went with my husband and father in law who both opted for $60 each pedicure and I just needed the toe polish change that was for$15. I was going to pay for all of us. They both got drinks as they requested and they denied me saying my individual order doesn't meet there minimum requirement where the total order far exceeded the limit. The manager started getting into argument with me that was super unpleasant. Worst hospitality and poor service experience. The service itself was pretty mediocre read more

I was a regular at the escape on midlothian but my nails kept chipping or weren't completely dry upon leaving causing bubbles etc. So in my hunt to find a new shop I decided to try this one. I felt rushed at the start to pick a color as the lady was hovering over me while I looked. I had a broken nail that needed to be fixed and she thought it would be smart to just put acrylic over my nail without a tip. Well obviously now my nails don't look cohesive. So she went back and added a tip. My square shape was to sharp. I had to ask a few time to round the edges underneath. At the end she didn't even put lotion on my hands. But you're a spa? Kaycee was my nail tech. Still on the hunt for my shop. read more

I have been to the other escape nails next to TJ Maxx many times and when I walked in today, they told me there didn't have anyone working who could do a full set. Which I found really odd at 4:30 pm with no customers in there and 8 technicians sitting around. I've also gotten many full sets from that location. They told me to go to this location, so I did. The technician acting like I was inconveniencing her with everything I said. I was not offered a drink, and felt rushed when picking a color. When I asked for almond shape nails, she sighed. When I asked for them to be shorter, she sighed. She finished a full set in 25 minutes. Usually it takes at least an hour. My nails are not almond shaped and they are all different sizes. My right thumb nail is pointed and my left is rounded. She then waited beside me while I paid so I could give her a cash tip. Will never recommend escape nails again. read more

Do not go here! Or at least stay away from the paraffin wax. Technician dipped my feet into bags of BOILING hot paraffin wax. She was totally checked out with her earbuds in so I guess she didn't hear me when I was saying "ow, it's too hot, take it off" because she then held my feet (still encased in bags of paraffin lava) down in water which made it even worse. Couldn't even finish my service because my feet were in pain after that. No apology from the staff & they still charged me $50! I walked out $50 poorer, burnt feet & unpolished toes. Never again with this place. read more

I came in for a pedicure. I was taken to the massage chair and waited there for 45 minutes with my feet in cold water. The woman next to me, who arrived later, was offered fruit and champagne. I was not. She received service right away. I did not. The technician finally came over, asked if I already had gel on my toes, said a racist epithet in Spanish and walked away. I speak Spanish. She was unaware. 5 minutes later a different technician came over. By this time it had been an hour without service. I can handle the wait. I cannot tolerate the rudeness or the racism. I will never visit this location again. read more

This nail salon isn't the way it use to be. The service is just okay now. The nail technicians are laughing and playing while doing your nails. The technicians are also on the phone the entire time while doing your nails. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!!! Find another salon to go to. read more

I never write reviews but felt this was needed. This was $40 and I am going to now have to go to a different place with the little time I have to get these fixed. My cuticles are ripped to shreds, the paint wasn't even and the nail shape isn't even the same. I cannot believe that this was "quality" or up to their standards. I cried when I got back to my car and saw this in the light. If a nail tech is unable to do standard acrylics then they need to let the customer know or else it ends up like this mess. read more

The worst service I've ever received. I waited 35 minutes. They took customers that came in after me. When I inquired he said he didn't see my name! He set me up for my pedicure and I waited an additional 15 mintes. My cuticles on my toes were cut leaving me bruised and bloody. I didn't receive the service I paid for. I wasn't informed that there wasn't a technician there to do my gel fill. Instead I was left at the pedicure section. After 34 minutes of waiting, I went to the front desk and was informed a technician was coming from another location She did a rush job that also left my cuticles bruised. I arrived at 2:45 and left at 6:10 PM. When I shared my experience to management it fell on deaf ears and no apologies or acknowledgement! Oh they charged me $140!!! Conclusion: If you want to pay top dollar for horrible service. This is the place for you! read more

My mother, two young daughters, cousin and myself came here the day after Thanksgiving to have some pampering together. This was my girls first time having a pedicure. Although, most people here are kind, communication all around is an issue. My mothers foot was burned with the wax treatment and attempting to communicate that was extremely difficult. The girls feet/hands were not put to dry and thus were damaged without an offer to fix (I ended up fixing one of their nails while there). My second issue is their improper labeling of organic products. They label certain products as being organic with only essential oils and no dyes and it's clearly not yet they won't let you look at the ingredients. I feel it would show more honesty to remove this false labeling or be more transparent with customers seeking non-toxic options. I do think their offering of a drink and fruit add to the experience especially for littles but I probably won't be back unless there are improvements in other areas. read more

Great atmosphere and prompt customer service. Walking in felt grand and lavish. Awesome pedicure and care not rushed at all. Would definitely come back if In area read more

I didn't post a review at the time but really thought I should share what happened to me at this salon last fall as I still think about it and am disappointed. I was a regular client at this salon after finding them a few years ago and really enjoyed visiting on regular basis w/ my mom for pedicures. My mom and I noticed it prior to our last visit in particular that they would hire people that didn't seem to know what they were doing. In Aug, my mom had a newer person who got red polish all over her feet. She also had the lotion all over her legs after we left. We figured someone just had an off day and wanted to give it another shot so we went back again in Sept. I have a bad right hip and can't reach my toenails to clip or paint them on my right side so pedicures are a good way for me to get them looking better/cleaned up. I wanted to share our experience on Sept 30th 2023. I was over 7 months pregnant. Between being pregnant and my hip problem, my mom thought it would be a relaxing experience for me to get my toes done. Couldn't have been more wrong. We arrived promptly at opening as we typically do and they took us right back. The girl assigned to me looked new which was fine and the woman doing my mom appeared to have been training/watching her. I asked for her to clip my toenails bc I can't reach them and she pulled out these big clippers. I have tiny feet which could have been the problem, not really sure. I don't think she was even remotely looking at my feet when she clipped them because two seconds later she clipped literally the side of my toe and blood was straight running out of my toe. I immediately screamed oww and instead of getting help from the other girl who had stepped away she tried to put my foot in the water bath (gross!!! ) as if to hide it and I screamed NO STOP. I don't need some sort of an infection from that water, I'm not putting it in the water. I was 7 months pregnant and this was definitely not the relaxation I had hoped for that day :( They grabbed a bunch of stuff for me to hold on my toe bc it was bleeding bad. The front desk woman came out and asked what they could do. My mom and I just left with our polish all off and gross. I immediately went to CVS to get Neosporin and a band aid. Will never come back here again. read more

Have been going here for about five years and was always happy with the services if you used specific nail technicians. I do not recommend just going with anyone when you walk in the door. The lady who has always managed the store and maybe she's the owner is not friendly at all, never smiles and is not extremely helpful. The young women who work the front desk, although I know they are trying, are very difficult to work with when you call on the phone to make an appointment with specific people. I've had them mess my appointments up numerous times, and although there are several good technicians there that I would use when they're available, I am no longer going to the salon just because of all of the Front Desk problems and the unfriendliness of management. There are a number of other good shop in the area that I can give my business to. read more

I left very unhappy I told the tech several times that I wanted a clear pink natural nail and ended up with a clear white nail. I ask for the dip manicure to not be thick and it was still thick and uneven. When he was using the nail machine to file down my nail it got hot and I let him know and he continued until I spoke up again. At the end I ask for the file to attempt to fix the shape. I paid $50 and left extremely disappointed. I will definitely never come back here again. Almost forgot to mention that he clean under my nails kept telling me that it'll go away when I wash my hands. It didn't so I had to go buy a cleaning tool to get the product from under my nails. read more

I came across this place with a neighbor from my apartment complex. It was close to a grocery store that I enjoyed. Though it is a 30-45 min drive... I love the area, and I love the work they would do for my pedicures. It wasn't long ago that I decided to do a manicure and pedicure from them. The pedicure was on point as usual. Very professional. The manicure was okay... I wondered why there was such a gap between my cuticle and where she started painting, but the color came out well and I didn't make too much of a fuss since it wasn't huge. I figured it was a safety measure (toxins, etc.). Ya'll know I don't like to give bad reviews... but I have to give this in case it helps anyone. Unfortunately, this is something that I can't provide pictures to, but I did show some of my personal friends....here we go. Now here comes the story: Since I was pleased about my mani-pedi... I heard that they do waxing. I decided to get my eyebrows, and... her did. Mind you,...THIS IS MY FIRST BRAZILIAN WAX... Mind you; I was told to let them know TWO DAYS in advance to prepare for me. I told them two days before, and there were no questions, there were no disclosures on what should be done to be prepared for waxing... nothing. I guess everyone assumed that I had been waxed before. I should have questioned things as soon as no one gave me instructions or disclaimers... but I guess it didn't dawn on me because I had friends telling time things, so I didn't even think about this until it was too late smh. Back to the story: I was thankful that they were so patient with me because I was all over the place, I had to make a drive to go back and get my purse, and all of that hectic stuff (did I mention that I stay 30-45 mins away?). Anyways, they managed to get me in... I will say this: This isn't to be funny or bash them, but... 1. make sure you pay attention to your skin. You may be allergic to certain waxes. I had a slight rash happening around my eyebrows. 2. I don't think that the person that did my wax had dealt with "tight curl" or "4c" type hair much when it came to Brazilian waxing. I wanted to make sure that I asked for the right thing saying, "I want it all gone." AMBIANCE: First off, the room in the back is tiny for waxing; the table is up against the wall so moving your legs for her to get a good angle was a little awkward. My hair is curly, so knowing which way to pull isn't clear sometimes. I also thought it was bizarre that she started working on me WITHOUT GLOVES.... ma'am... I thought that maybe she cleaned between sessions... I don't want to get into what caused alarm in my session. All I have to say is that I should have changed my mind as soon as I went into this small room with a table sitting against the wall and asked about gloves when she started prepping... again... I was dumb. I guess I was just so thankful that she managed to get me in after I ended up being an hour late because I had to run back and get my purse that I was extra flexible (even though I kind of wonder why I couldn't have just venmo'd one of them the charge plus tax for them to do it for me afterward smh... but I digress). By the time it was over, I was left with a lot of hair in important spots smh. I told them about it before leaving... they took only 10 dollars off and was told put vaseline on it so it doesn't stick....WHAT???? I wasn't given any instructions on how to care for it, so of course, I was just like... I'll try to fix the rest myself I don't want to cause any drama... BRO DON'T DO THAT. I could barely touch her and when I tried, the next thing I knew I saw a slight burning on the right inner thigh SMDH. Now I will tell you that I called them the next day after I cooled down, asking questions and letting them know what the experience was like including the discussion I had with the other person that took the $10 off.... but I was not pleased. Instead of providing a free wax or a full refund... I was asked to come in TWO DAYS after this whole debacle so that they can try to clean it up... MA'AM... I have burns on my inner thigh and I already explained that I tried to do some clean up myself and it didn't go well this soon. If I came down for anything, it would be to prove the work wasn't clean so I could be compensated, but I didn't feel confident about letting THE SAME PERSON DO MORE TO HER. Not only that, but they asked if I came in at 4:30 pm the day of the session when I agreed. The moral to the story is don't leave until you are pleased with your work or justly compensated (especially for this type of service). Also, ask for some reviews or samples of their work. YES, some people are proud enough of their work that they take tasteful photos, so you are aware of their skill in that department. There is one that I DEFINITELY wish I lived closer to but she is in Alabama. I don't think I will be going back. read more

I have been here on and off for years. Until now I've had positive experiences. Today I deeply regretted coming. I left my baby with a family member and went to get what was supposed to be something nice for myself. This couldn't have been further from what happened. I got a mani pedi with dip for my nails. When I finished the color was all over my hands, the pads of my fingers, on the side, underneath all the way to my knuckle. I mentioned this to Tracy my nail artist and she said if I washed it in water it would all come off. I asked her to remove some cuticles that she'd left but she couldn't understand me. After trying to communicate in a few different ways I paid and tipped and went out. In the light outside of the salon I saw how bad the paint was so I went back in to wash it off. Five solid minutes of scrubbing later nothing was gone. I went back to Tracy and asked her to fix it. She seemed annoyed, sighed, and brushed some polish remover underneath my nail. My hands were still covered in paint. I pointed out where these spots were and asked if she could clean them. She did the same thing that hadn't worked before. I asked if I could see the remover brush and do it myself. She shrugged and got on her phone. After several minutes of removing much, though far from all, of the paint I asked to see the manager. I told her my pedicure was great but I wanted a refund for the manicure. She said this is always how dip is, though this extent of color everywhere has never been my experience. She said Tracy could fix it. Tracy could not and had not. She offered to have another tech fix it. This tech also did not. Finally I left because I had to get home to my child. What an awful experience. Also, massages and fruit (little nice touches here) were both disappointing. read more

Absolutely unacceptable. I have had great service in the past but a few weeks ago I went in for a nail fix. And Kara did not seem pleased about fixing my nail. She took off the acrylic so fast and rough, and continued when I said "that hurts" her doing this broke my nail bed of my natural nail. It naturally started to bleed but that did not stop her. She trapped the blood under the acrylic. I would recommend anyone but Kara read more

Ivy did an AMAZING job. I've been training for a 10 mile run and Ivy took my feet from neglected to loved in an hour! The nail salon is immaculately kept. CLEAN and spacious is what pushes this shop to 5 stars. Now I won't lie, the prices are higher than most of Richmond, but the variety of polish and services are unmatched from what I've seen. I received complimentary wine and fresh fruit, and then water. The staff were all attentive and polite. I noticed that there were other complaints about polish life in some of the other reviews. If I chip or crack before the week is out I'll definitely update my review but for now I give the service and locale a solid 5 stars. read more

A lovely salon which makes you feel like you're in a high end spa. I went for a basic manicure and pedicure. I was instructed to pick a color and then immediately taken to the back and sat next to a lady that came in as I did. I was then asked if I wanted a beverage which to I responded water. An employee came out with a glass of iced water with lemon and then a plate of fruit, very nice touch. My technician was pleasant and did a great job on the massage portion of the pedicure but was lacking in shaping (not much detail given) and nail painting(uneven painting). He also did my manicure which was not worth the $20 price tag...I have short natural nails but expected a bit more other than a a quick soak in what appeared to be water, slight trim of cuticles and "shaping". The nail painting again wasn't the best, with yellow polish some other techs use a white base so the bright color will pop but this paint job was not consistent and unevenly painted. The staff at the front desk when I went to pay my tab was really nice/pleasant. read more

My first couple of experiences here were great service! Nami was the first tech that did my pedicures. She took her time and made sure I liked everything before continuing. She was so sweet thorough. I booked an appointment for 2 weeks after with her but then once I arrived for that appointment that was booked with her, they had a different tech service me. Ever since, i've tried booking with Nami and I always end up with another tech and I am never satisfied with my experience. Everyone else rushed through a pedicure no matter the time of day. My last experience, the lady did not even file off all of my previous color. I've gotten a manicure done here twice. The first time, again, the tech rushed through the whole thing and I left unsatisfied. The second time I went, I was with Nicole. She did a wonderful job and made sure I got what i wanted before I left. Nami and Nicole were phenomenal (as well as the young lady who sits beside Nicole, I cannot remember her name) and were the only positive experience i've had at this salon. I do NOT recommend anyone else but them 3. read more

So I've been coming here for years!!! Everytime I visit my sister I make a stop here. But this time the experience wasn't the best like I remember. I got a full set and it took two hours!! And the very next day they started to lift, then I lost 6 stones! I paid 10.00 for all that bling on 1 nail. I'm a hour and a half away from them so I had to fix my nails. Smh. I added the gems back and added a design to make it less noticeable that my nails were lifting. Come on y'all u were the best! What happened. read more

I just moved to the area and have been looking for a good nail salon. So, maybe my tech was just having an off day or something but these were my toes 4 HOURS after getting them done.

I was so disappointed with my last experience. I have been to this salon several times and I went yesterday for my wedding nails. My nail tech was not attentive at all, was filing my nails while not even looking at my hand and talking to others, didn't talk with me about what I really wanted, didn't push back the cuticles before putting in the acrylics so my nails are already looking grown out... I'm just bummed and don't want to spend another $65 plus tip to get them redone so I'm stuck with what I got. One of my bridesmaids also got her nails done with French tip and the "tip" aka white part took up half her nail. We're looking for a new salon. read more

I don't get manicures very often, but wanted to treat myself. I walked in to Escape Nails in the Short Pump area, near Wegman's on a Tuesday afternoon around 2:30pm. Very few customers in the salon. I was greeted in a lukewarm tone by the receptionist and told her that I did not have an appt. and wanted a gel manicure. She told me to go over to the wall and pick out a color. Within 5min. I went to the front desk to ask a question and she asked me if I had picked out a color. I said no, I just had a question. Then about 5 min. later a nail technician came to me and asked me if I had picked out a color. I felt very rushed. I told her no, then she grabbed some nail samples and told me that I could pick out a color while she trims my nails, etc. I thought to myself, what is the rush? The salon had very few customers and a lot of nail technicians were just sitting around and talking. Technically, the technician did a good job, but she wasn't friendly, she worked fast and seemed like she didn't want to be there, or she just didn't like her job. Maybe she was having a bad day. Did not care for the atmosphere at all. Will not return. read more

Terrible experience. Was recommended to get powder over gel bc it's 'stronger'. Apparently not. Every single one of my nails have chipped or broken off & it's hasn't even been a week. Asked for them to nicely fix what they did wrong & said since it's been more than 3 days I have to PAY for THEIR mistake. I asked to speak to a manager & the girl at the front (that had 0 emotion & careless attitude) said 'that was the manager.' I immediately left and explained I will never be back. Since when do we have to take repercussions for someone else's poor actions. If you are looking to be scammed into paying more for a service and THEN having to pay more for their mistakes..this is the place for you! read more

this place is pricy but its a price I'm willing to pay as long as service is good But this place is far from it. They are trying to look fancy and extravagant but far from reality. The host was rude. said to wait 20 mnts for mani and pedi and 15 mnts into the wait random people WITHOUT APPOINTMENTS came in and were taken on spot. finally, I asked about it with a puzzled face and they said few mnts NO EXPLANATION... they took 2 more walk ins Before me. finally in( 40 mnts later). I asked for one of the most expensive pedi for $95 ( as a hot stone massage and shoulder massage sounded really good a that time) never got the hot stone massage on legs, the lady doing my pedi spoke no english. ended up canceling my mani out of frustration and I was charged 95 plus $25 extra for gel nail polish used on toes... $120 which was paid cash, asked for receipt and I was refused One ... asked for a manager , I was also refused. host had a lame excuse not to give me managers contact info or his/hers store working hours... I wouldn't recommend this place to any one. read more

I've had the best manicure and pedicure from here. It's a bonus that they serve wine and fruit.

Wasn't pleased with service like that honestly ... I asked for tips at the very beginning of my service to go along with my full dip set and it was understood that, that's what I wanted and they agree to do it. As I go to sit down my nail tech proceeds to ask me did I want anything to drink the usual nail salon greeting. I told her no and she gets started with my nails , put you to mind I know when your getting dip they prep your real nails up, she does that but after she finishes she proceeds to dip my real nail in ! I said no ma'am I asked for tips and she got frustrated. I then try to make conversation with the nail tech and she didn't even want to talk anymore to me . I like the nail place but I guess that day my nail tech didn't want to do what I wanted. If I'm paying for what I want why is it such a problem to do what I want? Love the set up in the shop, will I be coming back? NO! read more

This place gave me the best nail salon experience I've ever had! I really wasn't feeling too well but this was the perfect pick-me-up because of the salon's luxurious atmosphere, welcoming and friendly staff, and complimentary drinks, fruits/cheese and crackers. It is pretty pricey & I normally wouldn't get such an expensive mani/pedi but I was feeling so crappy that I needed to indulge myself in a treat since I haven't had a spa treatment in 5ever. #noregrets! I loved my spa pedicure treatment ($45). It was 45 minutes of pedicure heaven with leg/feet massage, leg/feet mask with hot towel, scrub, before the actual painting of the toenails. Lora was so amazing & friendly. She took her time, was careful with my knee scars, and just super meticulous!! I'll def ask for her again when I come back :) Also another bonus: their pedicure chairs have working massage rollers for the back hahah it's seriously the little details that make such a big difference. I was a bit disappointed when they didn't have the disposable liners for the pedicure baskets as they advertised but the complimentary drinks (i had the mimosa and 2 hot green teas) and the fruits (watermelon, grapes, & melon) def made up for it :) Even their bathrooms were so nice and fancy! They have the techy toilets that can wash and dry your bottoms haha I was too scared to try but it definitely looked legit. As for my gel manicure ($40), I wasn't able to get the young lady's name but she was also a gem!! I think she mentioned she was the only Cambodian there but she was the best! I appreciated that she was so engaging, making sure I liked the shape she was doing to my nails, & just so meticulous that my nails don't even look like they're mine hahah. At the end of my session while my nails were drying, home girl gave me a back massage and a hand/arm massage. I was crying inside because this was everything I needed in my not so great feeling day. I came out a brand new me. Escape is spa therapy at its finest! Next time, I'll just try their regular manicure for $20 to compare! read more
