    Very patient with customers! They were also extremely busy and they still did a good job! I was nervous it was going to look rushed but my nail lady got me out within 2 hours and good quality nails!

    This was my first time here, and my first time getting my nails done! It's owned by a couple and they are very sweet, welcoming and efficient! The pricing is very reasonable. I would recommend calling and scheduling an appointment so you don't have to wait in line at all. Although, the people that did wait only waited about 10-20mins. Please try them out! Update: got home and my partners acrylics were thinly painted so you could kind of see through them and crooked. They missed one of my cuticles that I noticed at the day after. Other than that still decent for the price.

    I love the service here! Tammy and her husband are amazing. Tammy does my nails every time and they always turn out beautiful!

    This nail salon can be hit or miss depending on who is working that day. The owner, Tammy, is fantastic. She always has suggestions, and enjoys chatting with you while you work. She's very transparent about extra costs, and always greets you with a smile. Today I had a fill by one of the employees. I'm mostly happy with it! The edges of the nails are super sharp, but the shape is nicely done. The salon is mostly clean, just looks outdated and a little run down, though they occasionally swap customers without washing their hands in between and the nail files don't seem new. Additionally, there's usually only one or two people working, so I recommend calling ahead to see how busy they are (and planning some extra time). The reason I'm rating 4 stars is due to the seemingly random prices. When I asked for clarification on the price, the employee just repeated the number. Fills here are usually $20, today I paid $35. I didn't get a receipt (nor was offered one) as I paid in cash. I did get some nail sparkles put on, but wasn't expecting to pay an extra $15 for two little hearts. I had asked about some complex nail art before my fill, but the employee didn't say how much it would be so I went for something more plain. They definitely prefer you pay in cash, so I recommend bringing more than you budget for!

    Tammy is gonna do it every time!!! Love this place, her & her husband are always so sweet

    Tammy and Danny are the best. They're amazing at nails and they're genuinely good people. I can't recommend them enough. I have to bring my grandson I care for with me each time and neither of them ever complain. In fact my grandson just loves Danny. They also don't overcharge you.

    A few days after I got my nails done here. Chipping already and kinda dry and brittle. Gotta get new polish guys

    I see that they keep getting reviews saying the nail polish is chipping off pretty quick and I'm like 98 percent sure it's cause their gel nail polish is old. Customer service was nice I really like the owner she's fun to talk to so that aspect was good but you guys definitely need to get alllll new gel nail polish

    Great staff! We just moved backed to the area and we're looking for an open place on a Sunday. Stumbled upon here via Apple maps and I am not disappointed. It was 4pm, only two customers here and a gentleman greeted and helped us very fast. I got a gel manicure with a complimentary massage. My daughter also got a gel manicure (under 10 for a special occasion) for $15. Overall a great place and great staff. They also have a child's pedicure chair. It's a little worn down but still really cute.

    New set ! Beautiful new Olive color #50 and a lovely grey #23

    I found Escape Nail Spa about two months ago & I'm soooo glad I did! It's so hard to find a good nail technician, Tammy is everything. I got a pedicure the last time & it was so relaxing, also my polish always lasts a few weeks thanks to the gel. They aren't stingy with massage time either. Tammy always keeps my nails on point; color, length, shape, she has got it down! They have a good color selection. I have been looking for a good nail salon in Tacoma for so long & I'm sooo happy I stumbled into this salon! I couldn't recommend them enough! Everyone there is very experienced & great. They are in the shopping complex right before Chucky Cheese next to a chiropractor office, easy to locate as long as you're paying attention.

    Missing polish, horrible shape, cuts.

    I have NEVER left a nail salon in tears until tonight. I walked in at 6:45pm for a Gel Manicure because I have engagement pictures TOMORROW. Keep in mind I walked in with nails that were about 1/8 to 1/4 inch past my finger tips. ... Problem #1- The old man with extremely shaky hands that "shaped" my nails. I SPECIFICALLY asked for "ROUND-Square but more on the Round side" After he was done, I had 90 degree points on the sides of my nails, I had been cut TWICE from his shaky hands and the cuticle trimmer, and none of my nails were even close to having the same length or shape. I expressed how the shape was not what I had asked for. They quickly made him leave and an older lady sat down to try and fix what he had done. She rounded out the sides which was fine. But he had already done WAY too much damage for me to leave satisfied with what she could do. Problem #2- My fiancé could have applied gel polish better than I received. Not one but 5 fingers have polish that doesn't cover the entire nail. I understand the corners can be hard.ITS YOUR JOB. And when I stressed 3 difffebt times I'm getting ENGAGEMENT pictures TOMORROW. You would think they would make sure that at least my ring finger was covered. NOPE. It's the one he effed up the worst so not only is the nail extremely short but it has missing polish . I will Never recommended this nail salon to anyone. I did not rush in at 7:15 right before closing. They had 45 minutes before they closed. If they were going to provide such half-ass service they should have told me they didn't have time. I'm really tempted to go in first thing tomorrow and demand a refund. But all know how well that goes at nail salons. So I left in tears with nails that I'll be re-doing tonight at home. Beware.

    Ever since I decided to go back to acrylic nails I have been looking around Tacoma for a clean shop with good availability and non aggressive filing techniques. I am super pleased with my experience at escape nails. Not only was she really nice, she got me in quickly and made my acrylics look and feel like natural nails. A good taper, nice and thin and a beautiful Polish job. I will be back!

    Waited there for 20 minutes after 930 and they still weren't open. I've got to get their act together if they want customers.

    Ugh! I went there during a slow time. Wednesday at 11am. My nail tech was on the phone the whole…read moretime. Never talked to me other than ask what I wanted. I asked a question about the French tip nails , if there was a way not to see the grow out underneath?? Totally ignored. Won't be going back.

    SHE RIPPED OFF MY TOENAIL I've been going here for years…read moreand although their services aren't perfect, I've always found them to be friendly and well priced so I kept going in. However, the last time I was there, I had an unfortunate incident with my dog on my big toe so to fix it I simply asked the lady to put on some gel to even it out a little bit. She then tried to put polish on without putting gel on, and I corrected her saying no that's not how I want it. I don't want it all rough and bumpy so she sent me to the chair to get my fill for my nails... keep in mind, my feet already had a pedicure, and my big toe was primed and ready to go, all she had to do was put gel on and even it out like I asked them several times at this point. Another lady prepped my toe nail yet again, even though it just had been done and SHE RIPPED OFF MY TOENAIL, like almost completely off, thinking it was fake when it wasn't. Obviously. I don't know about you, but I can tell the difference between real or fake nails, and I don't even work on them professionally. When I got angry with her about it she acted like I was the problem and made me feel absolutely horrible so now two weeks later I am still dealing with having a ripped off toenail that I'm praying to the gods that it ends up growing back in and staying. I don't know if it will, but I will never be going back this nail salon for as long as I live. If I could give zero stars I would. So disgusting.
