Just awesome!

Feb 06, 2024

First off this place is permanently closed! My appointment for hair coloring was supposed to be at 1 pm then Kelly the owner was "running late" so it got postponed until 3 pm. Then I came back then she called and said 3:30 pm because of her relocating her home. Waited until 3:45 pm then went home! She then called me while I was at home then told invited me back. When I came back she was performing a manicure and with 3 other clients! I had an appointment and then when she had finally got around to me it took 5 hours for my hair to turn from black to red... I'm no stylist however, I know it does not take virgin hair to be bleached and processed for 5 hours! When it was done my hair was all damaged! The small claims awarded me x amount for this chicanery of a salon. STAY AWAY if you value your time and bag! Update: she now operates under a different salon that is rented. She will tell you that Escape Salon is "being renovated" which is false since she has lost most of her clientele there.

I booked an appointment through the online portal when I showed up the spot was closed. After calling the number I was informed that I would have to wait at least 45 mins for someone to come and service the appointment I booked. Don’t trust their website or Google links to book.

Got my cut from Zo — I had never had a licensed barber cut my hair before. He did a fantastic job and honestly doesn’t charge enough for the quality of his work.

I would highly recommend Escape salon. Ken is the best stylist. He has you in and out. Always has the best customer service. He really has a gift. He is the best!

Ken Thompson does the best precision cuts!! No one has ever given me better cuts. He is very professional, yet friendly. The salon is nice and clean with a Deep Ellum vibe.

Ken Thompson is the best hair stylist in the DFW area. I am always pleased with my style after each visit. Ken prides himself in knowing that all his customers are satisfied. I would highly recommend him.

Ken is an excellent stylist. The haircut that I received was great. He takes time to make sure that he understands what will work best for you as client.

My barber Da'Mone Jones always provides me with my great haircut needs. Over 20 years commitment.

Nice place for a haircut

Stylist and Barber Ken Thompson is one of the best at his craft. I have bounced back and forth for years between my natural hair, extensions and braids etc.. When I do decide on a precision hair cut or a tapered look he is my guy. Not to mention that the salon is a beautiful relaxing oasis! Kelli the owner is professional and beautiful inside and out. Oh and the location is convenient!!

The best place I’ve been for a haircut! My hair looks the best it ever has and everyone was incredibly nice!

Feb 06, 2023

The location may be hard to find but it is well worth the effort! Kelli is friendly, good at all she does and makes you feel glad to have been there. I needed a haircut and my hours are difficult but she is open till 10:00 pm on Saturday too meet her clients needs! You will be blessed!

Feeling very frustrated with my service and will not be returning. I scheduled a same day, relatively last minute appointment with Kelli online for 3:15. I later called to confirm since the appointment was only about 2 hours out, and she told me to come in 30 min later at 3:45, which again I knew I booked last minute so I didn’t mind. I got there 10 minutes before my appointment time, only to wait almost an hour before finally sitting in a chair at 4:30. I wasnt too upset at this point because I understand things happen and Kelli was talking about having tire troubles. I reminded her I wanted a cut and wash (I had pretty long hair and was getting about 12 inches off) so she did a super quick rough chop and then we went to wash my hair. About 10 minutes later in the middle of washing my hair, her 4:45 appointment walks in, and Kelli proceeds to wash, blow dry, style and complete this entire appointment while leaving my head in the bowl, sopping wet and very uncomfortable. She didn’t even have the courtesy to tell me she was serving someone else in the middle of washing my hair until I asked. Had she not rough chopped my hair prior to sending me to sit for an hour, I absolutely would have walked out. Finally, 2 hours after my initial appointment at 5:45, she started tending to me. Kelli is perfectly talented and I ended up loving my hair cut, but the experience was very unprofessional, inconsiderate of my time, and overall frustrating. To top it off, the price for a cut and wash was $80 online and that is what was said when I booked, and even after waiting over 2 hours to finally get service, my ticket ended up being $128 dollars because I had “long hair” which doesn’t make sense to me because it took about 5 seconds to put in a pony and cut off the 12 inches and an almost $50 up charge for long hair seems outrageous, but that’s even besides the point.

Got a fabulous hair cut and had a great time! It's worth every penny! This is a beautiful salon, full of eclectic charm located in Deep Ellum. You won't be disappointed!

I visited Escape in want of transformation last Tuesday, 4/20, and Kelly, the owner and hairstylist, was great! She was kind, efficient and just super cool. My whole experience was nothing but amazing. I love my new haircut! I will definitely be back next time.

Such a beautiful salon! Kelli did a wonderful job with my coloring and I’m so happy with how my hair turned out!

To start with - one of the best interior designed studio. Why? - It has a window by which you can literally feel the train. Very nice owner, experienced hair stylist and worth every penny experience. Do give it a try. She won't mess with your hair.
