I showed them a picture of what I wanted done to my hands & feet, & I'm very happy with the outcome! If you're in the area, I highly recommend this nail shop. It's hard to find quality nail shops/techs these days, but the staff at this location does good work & they make sure you're comfortable throughout the process. I received complimentary beverages as well as some adorable hair accessories on the way out! For free!! Who does that?? Needless to say, I had a great experience here & I'd love to return the next time I'm in Austin.

But after my moisturized up hands went back to the norm, all the sides of my fingers and around it looked like I chewed them up. I was even embarrassed to show my nails. Also I got a cut from the service too. Nail polish application was fine, the lady herself was attentive, but the work itself I wouldn't return for. Hate posting not 5 star reviews, but maybe you just need to find the right person here for your nail preference.

Unfortunately, after reading the other one-star reviews, my experience doesn't appear to be unique. This place is so unprofessional. I had an awful experience with the technician, Su. She was so impatient and rude to me. I was just sitting there when I asked her which color was a brighter orange, and she aggressively responded, "It's a personal choice. I'm not you." I was so confused. Her whole demeanor was rude and aggressive throughout the entire session. She cut me and made me bleed twice. I asked her to be careful the first time, and instead of apologizing, she looked like she took offense to it, completely disregarded me, and then continued to cut my other finger. She didn't even bother offering me antiseptic or anything to clean the cuts. At that point, I just wanted to leave. When I told the guy at the front desk, he said he had overheard everything and apologized for her behavior. He said, "I don't know if she's having a bad day or personal problems." I thought to myself, even if she was, that doesn't mean you should take it out on your customer. The whole situation was bizarre, uncomfortable, and awkward. He told me that next time the manager would do my nails and take care of me. I don't know why, but I was open to giving it another chance. When I called to make an appointment with the manager, the same technician, Su, happened to answer the phone and refused to let me speak to the manager. She continued to be rude and said, "You should make sure to choose the color before you come in," as if it was somehow my fault she made me bleed. It was so strange. Then, out of nowhere, she said, "I'M NOT RACIST." That's when it clicked. Nobody deserves to be treated this way. Hopefully, this review can help prevent someone else from being discriminated against

My mom and I did some research, but pedicure reviews are hard to come by at nail spots. We decided to try Escape, and we weren't disappointed! We came just after opening on a Saturday and were able to sit immediately. There are so many color options and all the classic options for pedicure types. My only thing is that the services are a little on the pricier side. However, our technicians were both so friendly, listened to our individual requests, and did a fantastic job overall! I love the blue ocean-like floor and cannot wait to go back.

I had gone to this salon before for a pedicure and decided to go again to have a full set of…read moreacrylic nails removed and get a gel manicure since I was in the area. Nancy was assigned to do my nails and did not speak one word of English. The only reason I bring this up is because typically, when you need to get your nails removed, they soak your fingernails for a few minutes to loosen the bond, then clip them off of your natural nails piece by piece. Well, an hour and a half later, they finally removed. It was not communicated to me clearly that they did a different process to preserve the nail by slowly filing it down then soaking your nails, then slowly filing it down then soaking your hands times 11! Literally, it took over an hour and a half to get them removed. Nancy was rough with my fingers. She had sharp nails and dug them into my fingers while she was rolling them from side to side to work on my nails. It was painful and I tried to explain to her not to grip my fingers so tightly. She also cut my one of my cuticles. I know I have thin cuticles - I tried to explain that to her but she didn't understand. The manager should have stepped in and explained the process better and communicated to Nancy my complaints. They had me soak my nails for over 25 minutes with foil wraps before switching me out to have John be my new nail technician. John was wonderful. We were able to have a nice conversation and he did a great job. However, I did have an appointment I needed to go to and I was late to it because when I walked into the salon at 12:30, I had no idea it wouldn't be until 2:00 pm before that process was done. I will not be returning.

The stellar service in question: pedicures for $35 including a full 30-40 minute leg massage! The manicure also includes a 15 minute hand and shoulder massage which is heavenly! The massage is the star and that is why I keep coming back here. Whenever I have family visiting I bring them here because of this. The atmosphere is always welcoming (seems that they have slight staff changes :)) and friendly each time I arrive, they don't pressure you into adding on additional gel x etc! This time around I got a mani $20, pedi $35 and my eyebrows $7 waxed --all for $62 which is an unbeatable price and my toes and nails came out so PRETTY! Some things to note: They are renovating the area pedicure chairs where the pedicure chairs are, so it looks different and seems to be less busy in the morning. They used to serve beverages about a year ago so I'm not sure if that's on pause due to the renovation. This is a no frills shop! What you see is what you GET! It's very basic in appearance but has consistently good service. It's located right off first street and they do have onsite parking but the lot is tiny FYI.
