About

The Nail Escape is a one-person nail business in Carmel, operated by its owner, Erica Washington, who does the nail work herself. The studio sits inside a salon suite building on East 146th Street, so the space stays small and private rather than busy with a large team.

Services range from a regular polish manicure and a combined manicure and pedicure to gel and acrylic work. Gel and acrylic fill-ins are used to maintain growth at the cuticle, and the site suggests booking them every three to four weeks, depending on how quickly nails grow. Full sets can be built with Gel-X extensions, builder gel, hard gel or acrylic, and overlays add strength to natural nails without extra length.

Pedicures come in basic, signature and luxury versions. The luxury option adds a sugar scrub, a moisturizing leg mask, buffing, a lotion massage and a hot towel. Lotion or oil hand and leg massages can be booked alone or added to a service.

Nail art is priced by how many nails are decorated, from a basic design on up to a full elite set on all ten fingers. Add-on styles include French tips, ombre, chrome and cat eye. Clients can text inspiration photos before a visit, and the portfolio shows dip powder, Gel-X, acrylic and short full sets paired with art. Designs that are not booked in advance may be simplified or moved to another day.

Booking is done ahead through an online page or by text, with nail art shaped around photos clients send in.

A private, relaxing studio inside a salon suite.
