    If Beth Clark were a composer she'd be Mozart. Beth listened to my thoughts and concerns. I named two famous people with cuts I love. Beth then had free reign. She cut clipped, brushed and dried my hair with mindful focus. I am getting my 7th haircut today. I can't wait to get there. So sorry it took me so long to post this over due post.

    I have been coming to Essence for 10+ years. Frank, the owner, wants to make sure everyone is well taken attended to, and he always makes me feel like a queen!? Kate G. is an amazing stylist, instinctively knowing what’s right for my hair. I would give six stars if that were possible!

    This salon is great. My appointments are always on time and my stylist, Cathy D., is wonderful! I was used to spending less on my my haircuts, but Essence has fulfilled every need that I have.
