    Adeline* gave me a perfect haircut, and Essence styled it exactly how I wanted. All the ladies were so kind, friendly, and welcoming — the atmosphere was genuinely good vibes all around. They greeted me by name thats so lovely and sweet .

    I also noticed how nicely the plants are taken care of in there.

    I’m glad I found this place I’d definitely recommend.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my first-time experience and results with this salon. Adelaide and the team are fantastic and she helped me with comb twists for an upcoming trip. They turned out great and lasted for 2 weeks. The only limitation is rebooking availability, as I travel for work, and my clients may change their plans with shorter notice. I’ll check their waitlist as an option, as well. Thanks again!

    Although Kaila was my stylist, I saw everybody else styling and the salon as a whole is impressive and professional! Also it’s pretty cool how they encourage you to book with the other stylist, so if you have a restrictive schedule it’s not weird if chair hop. Will definitely be returning hopefully, they bring back more specials.
