Why have a customer make an appointment if you have no intention of honoring it!?! I'll tell you why, GREED, pure greed! I mad a 2 o'clock with Lynn, so why would you take a customer right before I come in for my appointment? RIDUCULOUS!!! Then when I ask how long I'll have to wait before she will get to me, I get the customary 10 minutes response. Really? It was clearly more like 30 minutes! Escape Day Spa you need to do better by your customers. Keep your appointment times! Don't take customers 15 -20 minutes before your client is due . read more

Don't waste your time and money!! my daughter asked for gel x. Let's just say her nails were as I you just place some low quality press-ons. Additionally, the owner (who is the culprit in this case) tried to convince my teenage daughter to get acrylic instead. when she told him she would like to stick with her decision, he still tried to change her mind. He then blamed the low quality nail job on the fact that "you should have gotten the acrylic ." We did get a refund and he popped the nails right off. However, this pace has gone down. They have changed the name but the quality and service is still lack luster. if you are getting something basic this may be the place for you. Everyone else - beware. read more

Sadly this place has gone down hill. My friend and I booked a mani/pedi a month in advance. We had the worst experience! The guy who did my friends nails was clearly inexperienced because my friend was in pain the entire time. He cut her nails so short to the point where you could see under her nails. She told him before we even started she wanted a nail design. After he painted her nails he said someone else would come do the design. After 15 minutes no one came and I asked the owner if someone could come do the design. He said they can't do designs on regular nail paint. I told him our experience with the guy and how my friend was in pain and her nails looks horrible. All he had to say was sorry and would not compensate her. Escape you've yet again lost another customer. Do better! read more

Steve did my nails today. Great experience and very clean. I asked for a full gel set, natural looking and short + the nude color I always use. He explained what would work best on my nails and gave me what I wanted instead of trying to talk me into something "better". Highly recommend. A bonus is it's next to Starbucks! read more

I came here for the first time because my mom was focusing me to get my pedicure and manicure from the years of neglect I have given my nails. The owner, Steve, was patient with me while holding a nice conversation. My nails felt good, my toenails felt good, etc. I can't compare this to other manicure & pedicures cause I've never had another but I can say I had a good time. read more

Nail Studio - Pedicure Massages Chairs - Nail Salons Near Me - Dumfries, Virginia

I don't even give this salon one star because I experienced the WORST service I've ever received at any business! the owner yelled at my child, told her that her finger was crooked when we pointed out that he put the nail on crooked, cut her cuticles, got glue all over her fingers and when he was asked to fix it he refused and told me " I'm not giving you a refund because I did a good job". My Daughter told me that he hurt her (she was bleeding) and he yelled at her and called her a liar! when we first got there My daughter asked for an ombré and he told us it would be an extra $80 so I asked to see the pricing for the salon and he refused. This is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE to say the least! this salon should not be in business! read more

I love this salon. I've been coming here for two years. Due to my job I haven't been able to get my nails done but I love how my pedicures look and they really take care of me. Also recently I got my nails done and the other salon I went to BUTCHERED my nails, I went back to Escape Day Spa and asked them to do anything they could to fix them , I was helped immediately and am very happy with them. The technicians are all so happy, helpful and friendly. It really is such welcoming place , I've NEVER been disappointed by anyone from this salon. Even when this salon is busy, and I show up without an appointment I am helped very quickly. They are quick , efficient and so helpful. I've definitely found "my" salon. read more

Took one point away for not being greeted. Waited 5 minutes to ask how long the wait would be. After that everyone was nice and service was great. Nice decor, clean establishment. Lovely massage with my pedicure. read more

Jackie is the best. My nails are always done to perfection. She's funny and always makes me laugh.

I have had my nails done here for several years. After a break in visits because of the pandemic, it's a wonderful to be welcomed back! Jackie is most accommodating, efficient, and flexible. read more

I came in for a pedicure and at first, Steve rushed it. He didn't clean underneath my nails either. He kept looking at the tv. The filing was not straight and as he's massaging me, one he's very distracted he was distracted the whole pedicure and this is not even a massage. He's literally just rubbing the oil on just to take it off and he didn't even take it all off. He missed spots on my nail and said it was done then I asked for another person and they started talking in a different language. I highly do not recommend this place at all. Customer service is terrible. It was a waste of time and money. If you're looking for a GOOD nail salon around the area, Rain Salon and Day Spa is so much more worth the drive. I wish I came here first. They listen to what you want and are not distracted by anything else. And the comment down below by the owner is a complete false lie. One, nobody else was there except for Steve and the lady. So you the owner was not able to see Steve's service and for you to stick up for your employees that dissatisfied a customer, is loyal I'll give you that, but it shows that you do not want to grow as a business. Two, if your guys' main priority is customer service then I wouldn't have walked out with the worst experience Ive ever had and the bad tension that I received from your salon. read more

I have been coming to this salon for over 5 years. Jackie and Steve are always friendly and very accommodating.

I have been going to Escape Day Spa for at least 5 years, if not longer, and I have always had a pleasurable experience. I typically have Jackie do my nails and she has always been excellent; however, Steve is a great option too! I usually make an appointment, but I have done walk-ins in the past and have always been serviced within a timely manner. Both Jackie and Steve are great nail artists and I feel comfortable going to either one whenever I go into the shop. They have also done a fantastic job in keeping the place safe during the COVID-19 pandemic- I feel extremely safe every time I get my nails done (which happens to be every 2-3 weeks). I would highly recommend going here and getting your nails done! I have added a few photos to show the great work that gets done in some of my recent visits. read more

I've been coming to this salon every two weeks for over two years now. It is a well deserved treat that I give to myself. Jackie does an amazing job. The staff is friendly and prompt. I highly recommend coming here. read more

2nd experience. Staff does not acknowledge customers when they come in at all. 1st experience was bad as well, they do not value customers here. Poor customer service is the wrong answer. read more

Awful. got an acrylic full set and every nail is a different length, very bumpy, and missed some spots with the paint. It also took a full hour and a half... don't go here. read more

Long story short. I called the shop because I was in the area to see how much a gel manicure and gel pedicure cost. Guy gave a price of $60-$65 over the phone. The pedicure was very nice and relaxing. Nails turned out beautifully. So I go to pay $95. The spa pedicure $45, gel manicure $35. (Which I could have felt with) but then I saw a charge of $20 for shallac (never asked for it. They are slick as a can of oil. Check your receipt and get upfront prices. read more

If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. I called as soon as they opened to make an appointment for 2 pedicures. I was told 11am. When we got there there was no one at the desk to greet us and the room smelled like polish and acetone. We picked out our colors and waited about 10 minutes before someone finally said to sit in the chairs. I sat with my feet in water for 45 minutes before I finally got up and left. My friend who they started her pedicure at 11:20 told them to stop hers because the point was for us to get it done together. Not for her to be completely done and then wait for me. I will never go back to this establishment again. read more

This evening I called to make an appointment....well so I thought. I spoke to a very rude lady. I was trying to get availability​ and she rushed off and hung up the phone. I called back to get her name and to let her know how rude she was, she told me her name was Jacklyn,​ the owner. Like that made it okay to talk to people in a rude manner. Being the owner​ makes it worst! Such a shame! read more

My first visit and very disappointed in my $50 manicure. I selected dip powder but then she used a regular top coat. It took forever to dry and when she went to test it the polish was not dried. She continued to test the other nails and ruining the polish. She then redid the polish again and has me sit for another 15 minutes and tested it and it still wasn't dry. Sat for another 10 mins and a different tech tested my nails and said they were dry. I was just irritated and could not stay. If I wanted reg top coat I could of done my nails myself and saved myself $50. read more

Nail Studio - My first visit and very disappointed in my $50 manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Dumfries, Virginia

Came here with my gf and felt very uncomfortable due to the owner scolding at one of their employees while customers were present. The staff were also extremely condescending towards us when we weren't satisfied with the work. Will not be returning.. read more

Pros - next to Starbucks and Target. The convenience of the location is why I came here for so long. Also seems clean and tools are packaged and sterile. Cons - Zero customer service; when you walk in everyone stares you down and no one ever says hello. I use to be offered water and had the massager on my chair started for me but this stopped months ago. When a technician accidentally hurts me I get either an eye roll or just ignored - it's ok if these things happen but a simple "oops sorry" would be appreciated. Many of the staff are too rough and have rushed through my pedicures. Diana and Steve are the best but never available. I highly recommend that management take a half day to train the full team on CS/basic human interaction skills. A new nail salon opened near my house and I will no longer go to Escape Day Spa. read more

ETA- 1. I did not mention here that They had to re-do one of my nails because it was not relevant, and I was not playing on my phone. That was not relevant to my story, and it took 2 minutes to redo my nail. 2. It is absolutely disgusting to see a client being judged and saying I'm not a candidate for artificial nails. 3. You can tell in your review you are not compassionate at all. 4. People do have anxiety and other issues that make them nervous and that does NOT mean we cannot go and get our nails done etc, you WERE being too rough with me and were so nasty from the start. 5.you told me you have been doing nails for 3 years. Stop with all the lying in your response in my review knowing I cannot reply,but I can edit my review. 6. I wanted to add now all my nails were actually crooked as well but did not want to add that here because that was not the point of my review but I will now. Along with bubbles in my nail and told me I could NOT have a French nail done on artificial nails? I went in after about a year of not getting my nails done- I thought what the heck, I'll get some self care. The lady who did my nails was extremely impatient, condescending, negative and I felt like I was a nuisance. I am having such a hard time at home and I just wanted to go somewhere where I felt welcome and cared for. Not only am I a very sensitive person, I also have aspergers which makes me sensitive to touch. My nails are short, as I was reminded of many times. Every time they would clip my cuticle or my thin nails and I would pull back in pain, she would suck her teeth and mutter under her breath that I was being a baby and that I was being difficult to work with-- yes, others can understand different languages as well. I tried to start a conversation multiple times, but was met with a monotone voice and negative comments about her job-- asked if she enjoyed it and she said "meh, it's a job" Even worse, a lady walked in and suddenly the negative, condescending nail tech turned into a bubble and talkative individual who actually smiled. I was so upset, and crying before I even left only to get into my car and sob because of the disgusting way I was treated. Please don't go here if you want to be a respected or even treated as a human being. read more

I was very excited to try this place for the first time . It's next to Starbucks so I was super bubbly and meeting my gf who told me about the place. Unfortunately The lady that did my nails was rude she has a weird way to start a conversation I thought this place is nice. Minus the unpleasant judgmental and rude conversation customer service could have been better. For someone who has been doing nails for a long time. They really should learn customer service and proper way of providing a pleasant experience than this. I never even take time to write a review but. I really rather have a bad job. Than have someone work on me with a bad attitude and mouth. Never going back. read more

This is the best day spa I have found in this area. The owners are so nice & welcoming. It's best to make appt because they do stay very busy but they do allow walk in's also. They accommodate wedding parties and other groups. This spa makes you feel welcome and special and they do a great job of giving you special request such as nail art and are very skilled @ the job they perform. We are so lucky to have this awesome spa in our area so go & pamper yourselves !!!!!! read more

Got a gel manicure on Tuesday before heading on a vacation. I'm at the beach now, it's Saturday, and 5 of my nails have chipped. Really disappointed. Service and experience was great, but I obviously would not recommend their products. I've never had a gel manicure chip in such little time. I feel as though their products may have been of low quality. read more

Why do I keep putting myself throught this????!! I've been going to this place for years. Off and On. I go, have bad service, bleed, promise I will never go back, forget, drive by, return, and suffer the same disappointment. I was going regularly for a while to get my nails done. I saw the same lovely woman -- I saw her, and only her. but then she left. I went yesterday for a fill. The woman who did my nails talked non-stop to the other techs, she would lift my nail and say some something to them -- very rude. She told me repeatedly that I needed a facial wax (my face was horrible , she said), I needed a manicure (my cuticles were rough). Thank God I said 'no'. She left my nails lumpy, I've never had a worse manicure. I promise myself to NEVER go there again !! read more

Love Jackie and Diana. Steve does a great job too! Jackie and Diana both do a great job on manicures and eyebrows. It's always clean and everyone is always very friendly. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is the lack of courtesy when you enter the building. They could use a receptionist. Nobody greets you when you come in. If you dont have an appointment, They look up and see you enter but nobody acknowledges you or asks if they can help you. It comes across as if they dont care if they get your business or not. I suggest calling ahead. If you have an appointment, the service is amazing! read more

I had the worst experience today at this shop. I went in and requested a mani and pedi. When my pedi was almost complete the manager cones over and stated he thought I was getting one service not two and then proceeded to ask if I could wait while the tech took another customer or could I come back! Really!!! My answer was no I'm not waiting nor am I coming here ever again! Now, I don't like to pull the race card, but I noticed I was the only black in the shop and all those waiting were white!!! This racial crap is getting out of hand!!! Be careful when visiting this shop the manager, also is rude and disrespectful, not only to customers but to the techs as well, he's male and they are all female! I will never step foot in that shop again and hopefully others reading this will heed the warning!!! Comment still stands!!! read more

I've been coming here with my sister for the last 5 years and have always been pleased with how my pedicures looked. Jackie and Steve have always been very friendly, professional and welcoming. Jackie is always willing to try new designs. I'm still trying to get her to do a Nativity Scene on my toes (inside joke)! It has always been clean and they have taken the necessary precautions during COVID. read more

My favorite since 2015!!! Been here more then enough times to know the staff is amazing! Hats off to Diana, Jackie, Steve and the amazing crew! I have read many reviews and it bothers me that being a woman in the customer service industry, sometimes you have to take the bitter with the sweet. Yes, they are busy, remember however they have to multitask to keep everyone happy. They do all this why trying to focus on the task at hand, which is you! If they have stop and run to the front door as soon as another customer comes in, guess what happens..accidents and mishaps. They are always busy but still greet from their seats, which I appreciate as I don't want to be interrupted while I am paying my hard earned dollars to be pampered. So the picky reviews are irrelevant, truly. They do appreciate every race, nationality and sex when you walk in the door. Patience from incoming customers that have only been here once, can truly make others turn away with these reviews. I had to say something because I have been coming here for years! Ok, that's my rant and it's over. If you want a great job done and want to feel appreciated go here. read more

This used to be my "go to" location for nails. I went weekly for pedicures for 4 years. I've also done manicures & waxing. It's really gone downhill with the new management over the past year. It is not clean and the staff is not friendly. When I ask for services I feel like I burdening some of the employees. My last pedicure I had the tip of my toe cut when she was trimming my nails. They refused to even discount the cost and I ended up with an infection in my toe. During my very last visit the air conditioning wasn't working and the staff were standing in back door smoking and it reeked of cigarette smoke inside. The lady that waxed my eyebrows came in from smoking and didn't wash her hands before she attempted to start my eyebrow wax. I very kindly and privately asked her to wash her hands before she started due to the fact she would be touching my face and close to my eyes. I can generally be forgiving of wrong doings. I'm not hard to please and it takes a lot for me to just completely give up on a business. People have bad days and companies have hard times but this establishment seems to be mailing it in at this point. I'd never recommend this place at this point. Save your money and go somewhere cleaner and where they spoil you. It shouldn't feel uncomfortable when you take a few moments to pamper yourself. read more

This salon is the best. Very professional staff and everyone is friendly and accommodating. Prices are very reasonable.

Went in today as a walk in for a gel fill, the previous places I had tried didn't do the best job and I was undecided where to try next because the reviews everywhere are so mixed. Anyway I was getting desperate for a fill and decided to stop here since it's around the corner. Steve was able to get me in right away and did a great job - they look so much better than the previous 2 places I've tried. They are much thinner now and not lumpy, and the shape is perfect. As a bonus it was less expensive than the other places and Steve works fast (not rushed, just quick). It took under 40 minutes from the time I walked in to the time I walked out. I am so glad to have found a good place so close to home. read more
