I usually get my nails, wax, and toes done at this business every time I return home to Montana. However, I took a wrong turn, and went to another salon because they could get me in sooner. BIG MISTAKE. This wonderful salon had to fix everything the other salon did wrong. Which was everything. So do yourself a favor and just go to ENS first. You will be very happy. read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY!! Most horrible nail experience of my life! In 1 week 3 nails came off of a builder gel manicure. Paid extra $15 for gel pedicure & polish came off in the same week. What a waste of $ read more

We were in town for a wedding and I wanted to take my girls (12 & 7) to get mani/pedis. We had a great experience. They did a great job on each of us & handled everything very professionally. Also, the gentleman that did my pedicure was so sweet to my girls. He made us all laugh. We would 100% return next time we're in Whitefish! read more

I loved the service and I'm pretty picky! Long and his wife stayed late for my mom and I. We asked to come back after hours and stayed late on their Friday, so sweet. I feel like most nail places I go the nail techs are a little rude and don't listen to your concerns but they listened to everything even though it as two hours past their closing time. He also made sure the acrylics were thin enough to my liking. I'm pretty picky but I loved it, and they took their time on our pedicures, very relaxing. The two of them are very funny, making jokes a lot. When we came late he teased us, about being late. And just look at my nails. So cute!!! read more

Johnny did a great job on my pedicure. clean pleasing environment, relaxing chairs, he went the extra mile for my sparkle top coat. yes prices are high but everything in whitefish is high now, I'm assuming because commercial rents have skyrocketed. escape is still slightly less than other nail salons in the Flathead area. read more

We were visiting the in laws this week and she wanted to go get pedicures. Escape Nails Spa was able to accommodate us as a last minute appointment for the day. They had a wide variety of colors to choose from in regular or gel polish. They did an amazing job on removing callus and cuticles. The polish looked smooth and pretty! They used a pomegranate scented scrub, lotion, and mask set and it smelled so nice! They definitely got my toes ready for the summer. read more

What a nightmare! Let me tell you about the most chaotic salon experience of my life. First off, they butchered my cuticles on five fingers--FIVE. It took a mind-numbing 3.5 hours for four of us to get a simple gel mani-pedi. That's not even the wildest part. I walk in, carrying a matcha and a latte--being the thoughtful bridesmaid, you know--when out of nowhere, the guy doing my friend's pedicure stands up, snatches the matcha right out of my hand, TAKES A SIP, and then hands it to my friend, saying, "You won't get poisoned now." Seriously?! Oh, it gets worse. $130 for a basic mani-pedi, and for the bride? $220 because she opted for the "deluxe" pedicure that included, wait for it... nothing extra. No hot stones, no wax treatment, nada. So here's a tip: even if you're desperate and didn't make a reservation anywhere else, skip this place. We *had* a reservation, and it still took 3.5 hours. Imagine showing up without one. You'd be there all day. read more

i will never go back. I was upsold and overcharged. Lesson learned, first and last time customer.

Prices are high. Was charged $55 for a gel manicure. Higher than local average cost for this very average service. They accept walk in clients. read more

I have been around the block doing manicures and pedicures for my whole life and since I turned 70, I am pretty dang picky. I've had services from LA to the Caribbean to Mexico and to Boston and nothing compares to my little old town of Whitefish and escape nails The owner and his wife are usually there when I get my nails done and I really love their friendliness and quality of service. They have lots of other very trained employees as well and I have never been disappointed. They always make sure they know exactly what I want and they always make sure that it looks and feels perfectly before I get moved onto another service I travel all the time and I stay away from Whitefish parts of the winter, but I only get my pedicures in WHITEFISH at escape nails from Long and An! they are the best read more

I am in the area for the summer and wanted to get a pedicure, but the place I've gone before was too busy and I was on a tight timeline. As I was driving back towards Kalispell, from Whitefish, I saw this place and decided what they heck, even with only one yelp review that was poor, I was on a time crunch and was feeling adventurous! Upon walking in, I was glad to see the place was reasonably busy, and very clean. The amount of color choices in nail polish was outstanding, and they carry the OPI brand, which I really like, so I was pretty sure this was going to be fine. They line the foot tubs with a one use plastic liner, which always makes me feel safer. Everyone was wearing masks as well, so for Covid, this was also reassuring. The pedicure itself was fine. One of my favorite parts of getting a pedicure is the massage, so that is why I docked them a star, it wasn't a great or very long massage, but, the lady doing my nails took her time on my nails, and did a very nice job on the polish. I would definitely come back, as they did the job I needed in a timely manner! read more

I agree with the negative comments. During my pedi, they asked if I wanted callus remover- $10 extra (what!). I said no and then she spoke in her language and they all laughed. My feet are pretty smooth already. I had a dip manicure with someone else and the dip is Lodi g after 1 1/2 weeks. I normally go 3 weeks. Going to pay, I gave my credit card and she pointed to my wallet and said she wanted my cash. I said mo, I have plans for that. They the. Pressured me to open a Vemo account. DO NOT GO HERE! You will regret it! read more

THE WORST - Everyone is joking around and you wait. The manicurist and pedicurist have a race for who can get out the quickest. The job is terrible and they don't offer to fix a mistake in the salon. The product they are using is cheap and you are lucky to get through the evening. If you are going here, wear gloves. read more

Worst nail experience of my life. Inappropriate and completely unprofessional behavior from a nail tech, management did not help or refund me as they said they would. Nails were uneven, bleeding, and ended up having to get my nails off altogether. No customer service whatsoever. Absolutely horrific. read more

Escape Nails Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Whitefish, Montana

Literally destroyed my nails. I have never left a review and typically wouldn't but I had to walk out of the salon. I had dip powder on my nails and to remove it they used the file machine and not only filed the powder but layers of my nails. I naturally have strong nails and now they are unnaturally layers thinner. When I asked them not to keep filing, they got vocally irritated. The filing job is terrible- all different shapes. I had to stop them and end my session. Walked out with long beautiful nails on one hand that they had not yet destroyed , and one hand with short, thin, all different shaped nails. I could cry. read more

I've had dozens of mani/pedis in my life--some not so great--but this is the only experience I've had that has deemed a negative review. Long story short, I asked for a color change because I'd just had a spray tan and didn't want a full mani/Pedi. The lady talked me into dip, and she did a fine job on my nails. However, a gentleman sat down and painted my toes with regular polish. It took him 10 minutes. He cut my nails uneven, didn't file, and then I had to later had to show him that one of my toe nails wasn't only half painted! Finally, they tried to charge me $45 for "pedicure" with regular polish. After I debated the cost, he told me to "hurry up" as I was paying. He was also very rude to one of the other customers. I should have listened to the other reviews, but I thought, "it can't be that bad". I was wrong. It's hard to believe this place is still in business. read more

The crew was amazing at fitting 5 of us in for mani/pedis for wedding prep. Great massage on the pedi, super nice, and our nails look great. Would def go again. read more

Horrible experience. I made an appointment and he was shocked when I walked in. Extremely rough on my nails, I was bleeding. Horrible job. There are other places to go! read more

I'm not one to bash small businesses, but this was the worst manicure I've ever had. She used a dremel tool (no acetone) to remove my old gel polish and ended up putting huge divots in my already thin nails. It was painful as was her use of the cuticle cutting tool...taking chunks of my skin off without care. Ouch! I went back to my regular manicurist and she was shocked at what she saw. So much so that she recommended completely growing my nails out before doing any polishing again. The surface of all of my nails are now very uneven and terribly thin. They hurt! So, I do not recommend this place at all. It was a huge mistake to go there. read more

Unfortunately this was a rough experience. My sisters, mom, and I went in to get our nails done for an upcoming wedding. The ladies doing our pedicures made fun of my sister and clearly were mocking her in another language. My mom doesn't get her nails done often and they continuously scolded her and slapped her several times so she left crying. I would never recommend this place. They also destroyed my sister's cuticles (see picture). read more

Escape Nails Spa - Poor manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Whitefish, Montana

This place is hit or miss depending on who does your nails. The older guy does a good job. The younger guy skipped two steps of my pedicure. A basic pedicure is $35. read more

I went to this nail Salon for a mani pedi. The nail tech cut my fingers not once but twice!! I couldn't believe it. I left the salon! She was very inexperienced and obviously needs more training. Salon owner asked me as I'm holding my bleeding finger wrapped in a Kleenex if I wanted him to complete the manicure!. Uh, no. I'll go somewhere where they know what they're doing. Will also report to the health department. Awful experience. The worst. read more

Avoid place!! Was in town on vacation. Had a few hours to kill before my flight and decided to stop by. I literally wanted to walk out within 2 mins of my pedi. He realized I noticed he skipped two parts of my pedi and went on to then charge me $70 for a so called regular pedi ($35), regular mani ($20) and extra ten for callus removal which he lightly did. It wasn't till after I left that I realized he kept $5 for himself. Haven't had a bad experience in a long time but it definitely makes me appreciate the hard working nail technicians in Ca that actually do a good job and are transparent with their pricing. It's places like this that ruin it for everyone else that is hesitant to visit a mom and pop nail shop anywhere. read more

Super fun and welcoming environment! Long was really funny and kind and did a great job. Definitely coming back!
