Escape Nail & Spa

Went for a waxing, very clean & relaxing place. Susan made me feel very comfortable during the procedure. I will definitely go back.

Went in again today. Julie of course always. Ive always been a shellac girl. I went in today to get a liquid gel full set but was offered the new sns powder dip. No UV light. Its pretty and costs the same as a liquid gel full set. So far so good my nails seem harder. We will see. Seems like it has the potential to be more expensive since it seems from what I have been told they will be the same price every time as opposed to the gel fill I would gave been getting had I gone through with the liquid gel full set. Fingers crossed

Ivy Quach does the best henna eyebrows in waldorf. Customer service was an A plus and the shop is in immaculate shape. I will be a repeat customer.

Ivy is the best for your eyebrows. I drive 40 minutes just to get my eyebrows slayed…

Ivy is the eyebrow queen. I only trust her with my brows. Although I stopped coming here to get my nails done I still get my brows done with Ivy.

What a great little place! I absolutely love Escape Nail and Spa… I came here on my day off for a little pampering & it is safe to say that I am a customer for life. A bit pricier than my normal nail spot, but well worth it. Upon entering, I was greeted with beautiful smiles from the girls at the front desk. They had wonderful personalities and took care of me quickly. There was no wait at all! Thank baby Jesus!
There is a VIP room in the back for those who want some peace and quiet while getting their toes done, so YOU KNOW, I had to try it out. The pedicure area was beautiful! They have individual couch like seats with fluffy, cute pillows & lots of massage options. OMG, I have died and went to Pedi-​Heaven, haha. They also offer drinks. I settled for water and they brought out fruit flavored water with freshly cut fruit! WHERE AM I?
The nail technician I had was Louis; now ladies I don’t even want to recommend him to you, you know why, because I want him all to MYSELF!!! Lmao. He was absolutely amazing. He was very nice, funny, gives great foot massages, and does beautiful nails. I was so happy with the outcome! The whole experience was so relaxing, that Louis caught me dozing off a few times. Ha, ha.
All in all, great establishment. I will definitely be back! Already made my appointment for next Saturday: D
Favs: Ambiance, Louis, and the attention to detail.
Would Change: Nothing at this point. You guys are the definition of FABULOUS!

Always great service every time I go. I love the complimentary drinks and the quality of work is definitely worth the price!

I’m from out of town and needed to get my nails taken care of so I went on a whim and came in here and let me tell you, the minute I walked in, I knew I made the right choice! The salon is very welcoming and clean, I had a Jay take care of me. He did a pedicure first and with the paraffin wax and callus treatment, my feet felt softer than they have in so long! The pedicure chairs are more of a couch with soft pillows and a built in massager and they offered me a glass of wine to have while I relaxed! Points in my book! I then got acrylic tips with a gel color top coat and he suggested doing the new acrylic system they have called «healthy nail» where instead of using the strong smelling liquid, they paint your nail with a base coat that’s clear and dip your finger in the powder. It’s less messy, still strong and has vitamins in the powder itself to keep your real nail strong and grow faster. It was my first time experiencing it and I will highly recommend it to anyone! I loved escape nail and I know I will be going back next time I’m in town!

I have been going to this spa for 5 years now and always have had a pleasant experience. This is where I come to relax and get pampered. Simone is the sweetest person that always greets us with a smile! Lan is the nail technician that I love to go to! She is very professional, always does a great mani/​pedicure, she is personable and thoughtful. She does a excellent job on my husband’s feet too! It took me 4 years to convince him to get a pedicure, she made him feel so comfortable. Now we go to her at least once a month and get VIP his/​her delux pedicures with wine, fruit and a mini back and neck massage. Try her out!

Horrible place. My friend contacted ring worm virus there. Yuck!
Not sure what else to say about this except «all that glitters ain’t gold». The place looks great, the technicians are dressed professionally, but they have a cleanliness issue that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Buyer beware!

Extremely disappointed. I’ve been going here for years and today, my service felt rushed, I was drying my toenails and underneath there were pieces of broke glass… one large piece I stepped on. I said excuse me to one lady, she looked at me & walked away. I told the guy about it, told him I stepped on it… All he did was call someone to clean it and didn’t even apologize. Very disappointed tonight. There are so many nail salons in Waldorf, will not return here.

My 14yo daughter went in to get a full acrylic set while I was next door at the Hair Cuttery getting a color and cut. She came in to ask me what I wanted from Starbucks after she was finished and I noticed that her nails were smudged. They looked awful. Every single one of them was smudged and my daughter said that her nails and been checked, she was told they were dry. She also said that she just wanted to go somewhere else and get them redone because the tech was so rude and uninterested in providing her with her service. When I looked closer, they looked like they had been slapped on. That was it.
I headed over there, with color still in my hair, to request they be taken off and she be given a refund. Simone, who is a very professional and sweet lady, offered to try and make things right. She agreed that the polish was unacceptable, but stated that the reason her cuticles were a mess and not done is because then it is considered a manicure and there is a $ 10 up charge. Sorry, that’s not acceptable. A full set should include cuticle care. Simone was also concerned that taking the nails off would cause my daughter pain since they were just applied. After speaking with my daughter, she decided to give a different tech the opportunity to fix it and spent the $ 10 for the cuticle care.
They look fine now, but I really don’t have high hopes for them lasting longer then a week. $ 35 for the full acrylic set, $ 10 for cuticle care, and $ 5 tip X two. Not coming back.

I heard this salon was a good place to go. I was hoping to get a real «spa» experience because of the great things I heard.
They do have some great colors to choose from & served drinks which was nice.
I got my nails done and referred to a picture to copy. It didn’t turn out the way I’d hoped so I called the next day to get it redone. They agreed to do it for free. However, when I got there the man who did my nails the previous day was so rude to me. He buffed my nails so much that they started to bleed. He was complaining the whole time, speaking under his breath, and did not even apologize for making me bleed on multiple fingers.
I would not go back to this place. One of my fingers bled so much and hurt that I wore a bandage over it, which defeated the whole purpose of paying $ 50 for a gel manicure.
You can find better.

I will say I have been here a few times and the services have been great. The front desk is always friendly and they always welcome you with a smile. Ivy has did my eyebrows several times and they have been on point each time. I have also received pedicures by Michelle that have been great too.
However, I don’t feel that nails, pedicure and eyebrow services deserve a $ 135 bill for services provided. Just my opinion…

I have been a customer for several years and today’s visit has changed that. Needless to say, I was not happy with my nails… Dipping Powder Nails. 1^st the topcoat bubbled on at least 4 nails, and the tech had an attitude with me asking for them to be redone. Reluctantly, she did while speaking her language to the male tech next to her, that immediately looks at me. She said, looks okay to me; I politely let her know that it needed to be ‘OKAY’ for ME, when spending my money.
I went to pay my bill, added 2 pairs of earrings and though not totally satisfied, I paid and left. Once in natural light, I could now see ridges & unevenness. Well, now I’m pissed and decided to go back in and request a refund. I was told, they do not give refunds but, would redo it again.
I explained that it has already been done ‘again’ and I don’t have the time.
I will not bore you with the mindless banter that went on for the next 15 minutes.
The end result was Escape REFUSED to give a refund and went as far as stating I could come back at a later date… WTF? Are you effin kidding me? I will never go back there. Oh & BTW, they offered me a 10% discount IF, I let them take the polish off. because that would then be an even exchange!
This is when I lost it! They are petty, unprofessional, and GREEDY! Poor sweet Simone, while I applaud her professionalism, she was on the phone being told what to say by her poor excuse for a manager, that made her appear like a well trained animal from the Westminster Dog Show.
My rebuttal: I returned the $ 31 earrings, thanked Simone and asked her to deliver the following message to the owner of Escape Nail & Spa:
FUCK YOU & KISS MY ENTIRE ASS! You are petty and have a very poor business model; clearly the only thing you care about is money and with that mindset, your business will suffer!
DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS!!!

If I could give no stars I would. I have literally patronized this nail salon countless times over the years but have moved in the last year. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. It is totally unbelievable how extremely RUDE the technicians in this salon are. Julie, who apparently specializes in acrylics – and being a bitch, has the worst attitude I have ever encountered! Do NOT let her do your nails.
It began when my girlfriends and I were picking colors, overwhelmed by the hundreds of polishes, it was taking us a minute and the techs began rushing us! Julie even told my friend she could not have an extra minute to make sure it was the shade she wanted! Rude!
And WHY are they so overpriced? $ 50 for a basic gel manicure. I wouldn’t have been bothered by the $ 30 pedicure except it lasted for all of 10 minutes. No exaggeration!
& the fruit flies? There is nothing worst than trying to relax with an annoying ass gnat pestering the hell out of you.
If I am going to pay $ 80 for basic services, the customer experience needs to be stellar and this place is subpar at best!
Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

The only reason I give 2 stars is because 1. The hours are very accommodating for those who work and need to come in later and 2. The staff is friendly.
I am however extremely dissatisfied and disappointed in my experience. I have never written a negative review before but after spending money and sitting for an hour and a half, I came home looked at my nails and realized I need to let it be known. I got my nails done 3 hours ago. After a long day at work, I knew even in the salon (and did mention it) that I wasn’t completely satisfied. But having a baby and husband waiting at home I left so I could see my family. My nails are the worst they have ever been and I feel like there is no way I can wait 2 weeks to get them fixed. Nor do I think they will last that long. They are extremely messy, acrylic and gel on my skin. One nail is already lifted 3 hours later. They go over the edge of my nails into my skin in areas which I think is why it hurts. My thumb was bleeding from the drill and is so sore in the corner. A few nails look like press ons bc there is no gradual smoothing from the acrylic to my natural nail bed, you can just see the edge of the thick acrylic sticking up. There are bubbles in the nail. I mentioned that and was told don’t worry no one will look that close. I asked for gel polish and was told it cost too much that’s why it wasn’t used. To save me money. I asked for the pink gel color in the back of the nail with my French and was told oh no that doesn’t look good not natural. I really don’t know what else to say, except that my hands hurt, I know I will not last 2 weeks like this, and that if I didn’t have to be at work first thing in the morning I would be going into the salon to ask for a complete re-do…and I have never done something like that! Photos will be uploaded.

I just came from having a fabulous pedicure in one of their newly remodeled, VIP pedicure rooms. Very serene and relaxing, perfect lighting, very comfortable, very quiet; I would completely pay the small additional fee to have my pedicure done there again. Would be especially great if I was meeting a girl friend there, to be able to semi-​privately gab and catch up during our services, which I like to do.
The VIP pedicure rooms feature high-​backed, bench style seats, so lots of room (for your shoes, a purse, your friend even) and additional pillows for bolstering/​comfort, for shorties like me. The seats themselves have a massager feature built in, and they also have available a collar to slip on for additional massage features for your neck, if you desire.
The staff was exceedingly nice, the pedicure and manicure excellent, and I really appreciated that someone has clearly taken care to select and install high-​end (and mostly touch free!) fixtures and dryers. The polish selection is just flat-​out staggering. I’ll definitely be back.

I love this Nail Salon. They are always so friendly and professional. Bunny hooked up my gel manicure with 3D art. It was fabulous. She also taught me how to easily shape and fill my eyebrows with Cailyn Gelux for Eyebrows, which I also purchased from the Salon. Fabulous honeyyyyy, just fabulous.
Their prices are well worth your money. You shouldn’t be disappointed. Enjoy!

I’m a nail polish addict so naturally they get 4stars off the top for their plethora of amazing quality poslishes. My last visit hasn’t sat well with me. Although the service was great, the final price of my pedicure & paint change was 3x the expected amount ($ 90 to be exact)…yes $ 90. I was just as surprised as you.
And to think I actually thought about getting a fancier pedicure treatment *hmph. This is my second time visiting Escape and it will not be my last (it will just be my last pedicure).
Why you may ask? They do an excellent job on my nails (shape, thickness, etc.) That and the nail polish nirvana will keep me coming back, but I will never again get a pedicure.
