I highly recommend this salon for its lovely environment and professional staff. The ambiance is always welcoming and relaxing, making each visit a pleasant experience. The staff are incredibly skilled and attentive, always guiding me to exactly what I want. Whether it's a haircut, color, or any other service, I always leave feeling satisfied and well taken care of. This salon truly stands out for its exceptional service and friendly atmosphere!

The salon is nice and clean. The staff seems nice too. However, and maybe it's just me, but it's been a while and I still don't like my haircut. If you definitely know what you want this is a good place but if you have doubts or just not very knowledgeable then maybe find a different place.

Upd: after I posted the review the owner kindly reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to come in so she can modify my haircut. She did in fact fix it and now I like my haircut much better. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and her approach. I would recommend this salon.

Melanie, now at Salon Essence, has been cutting my hair for years now. This new location is even better. Bright, spacious, sexy and convenient.

My hair doesn't make the job easy - curly sometimes, but sometimes not. Melanie has the skill to handle it with ease. I've tried different styles long and short. Whatever the style, I come out looking good. Thanks Melanie!!

It's no exaggeration...Melanie is simply theeeeee most innately talented hair stylist I have ever encountered!! I've been "away" for the last several months and her haircut from early April is still maintaining its original shape, 4+ months later!! I'm so very grateful to have discovered Melanie and to enjoy every single haircut she so effortlessly bestows upon me every time I frequent her salon 🙂 She's all about efficiency while providing consistently high quality services to the client in every sense of the word and expectations. I give thanks for you practically every day Melanie and I'm looking forward to seeing you shortly again. Essence Salon is a chic and beautifully energized salon - a true reflection of chic and beautiful from the inside out, owner Melanie!!!!!

I finally got a haircut after a long time. It was so worth the wait. Kaitlyn made me comfortable and really helped me with styling tips. For reference I have really long and thick hair which can be hard to manage. I am so happy with my new hair.

For the past year and a half I have been in search of a stylist who is a perfectionist after my former stylist, who I saw for over 15 years, retired. After giving two other stylists multiple chances, I moved on & found Melanie. What a difference a great stylist & cut make. Melanie not only does beautiful color work, but her cutting & finishing skills are fabulous! Melanie is friendly, a good listener, & her salon is tastefully done with no shortage of natural light. SO glad to have found her. She’s a keeper.

Went into Salon Essence today to ask a few questions and they had an opening so I had a conversation with Melanie and then had my hair colored, glazed and cut. The color was perfect and totally covered my outgrown hair completely. The hair cut was spot on to what I was looking for and then to top it off, getting your hair glazed makes it look even better. My husband loved it as soon as I walked in the house!

Many thanks to Melanie for a great job. I will see you again!!

Beautiful and clean salon. My stylist Shelby is super friendly and takes her time to know what I want done. She genuinely cares about my hair. I’m thankful to have found such a great place!!
