Carol was the absolute best , she makes you feel absolutely comfortable and is very knowledgeable about what she's doing . I was nervous at first but this is my second time around and I for sure found my go to for waxes . read more

Carol is very professional. She knows her stuff ! The skin analysis was a great way to start off. It never felt like she was trying to sell products or other services the way I've felt at other spas or salons. The microdermabrasion facial and oxygen treatment left my skin feeling so fresh and clean that I didn't feel like I needed to wear makeup for the days following the service. I can't wait to come back and try the silk peel. read more

I decided to write a review because the reviews are what helped me decide to choose this place. Carol was the person I chose and I found it very convenient to be able to book my appointment online and the descriptions every facial has which helped me pick which facial to get for the first time. I have never had a facial and Carol was very informative and made me feel comfortable. The facial felt so good and afterwards my skin was glowing and felt so smooth. Even now a week later it still feels great. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you for the great service! read more

Carol is absolutely AMAZING and a wealth of knowledge. It was my first time getting a facial with her, and I cannot wait to go back!

What a great experience! My wax girl was very sweet, professional and made me feel very comfortable. I'm kind of a baby when it comes to waxing pain but she was just awesome. She provided numbing spray, cleansing wipes and was very thorough in her work, I've been waxed many times but she (I feel awful I don't recall her name...I was nervous so can't remember) but she did an exceptional job. There is not a single stray hair. I have fair skin and light hair so it's common for waders to leave a lot behind. Not at Essential. They provided a discount for my first time, water or tea, and a very comforting environment. I'll be back! Thanks again girls, you're doing a great job! read more

It was my first time doing Keratin eyelash lift. My experienced with Carol was awesome. She explained step by step on what she will be doing. I was suprised how my lashes turned out. She did an amazing job. read more

Amazing skindcare studio. My daughter has been going to Carol for facials and waxing for years and she won't go to anyone else. Carol is the waxing queen! read more

To make this short and sweet for someone who needs to make a quick decision: DO IT. Go visit this place. You will not regret it. Everyone I know who has gone to Carol has had major improvements. I've been going to Carol for facials for almost four years now and there has not been one day in which I am unsatisfied with the results and/or the customer service. Now here is my story for those interested: I had bad acne sophomore year, to the point where doctors who I saw for things such as a cold were prescribing me medicine for my acne. After having acne for almost a year, I thought I would never get rid of it. I had tried different bar soaps, cleansers, lotions, almost everything, but nothing seemed to work. I was talking to my friend about this problem and she recommended that I see Carol. I couldn't drive at the time so I had to convince my dad to drive me 25 minutes out to get a facial. After having gone the first time, I was so glad and continued to persuade my dad for the next three or so years to take me because Carol's pretty much the only one I trust when it comes to my skin. Now I am in college, 3,000 miles away, so there's no way I can see Carol as much as I would like. However, my skin is doing very well because of the treatment plan that Carol suggested. This will probably sound very cliché, but I'm going to say it anyways because it really is the truth. Trusting Carol with my skin and continuing to visit her has changed my life. It not only has helped me feel more confident with myself, but it has shown me that it's very possible to have business owners who truly care about their patients way more than the money. Carol's passion for her job and her dedication to it is so obvious and I think is what makes Essencial Studio such a great and unique place. read more

I've been to Carol twice now for Microdermabrasion and everything said in these reviews are true. Carol is very nice, walks you through the entire process, and does wonderful work. I purchased the $20 kit of PCA Skin Products for follow up care again (though I was never pressured to buy anything), and I really need to buy more. Great products! I love how Carol takes such great care of her clients. I really need to go more! read more

I started going here based off a Groupon, I had Carol and she was very nice and gave plenty of information during the visit. Since after I have gone in for an acne facial and even took my mom with me. We both love going here and are planning on going in next week again for the silk peel. Noelle and Carol are very nice and accommodating. Definitely would recommend. read more

I love Noelle. I go to her for the silk peel and back treatment. She's great! I always see great results. Noelle knows her stuff and is very helpful with all of my concerns/issues with my face and back. She give great tips/advices on how to care for my face and back. She's also very friendly and funny. I would highly recommend her to all of my friends and family. read more

Yes it's true, Carol is awesome. So glad I went here. I got a full bikini wax. Carol made me feel so comfortable, and she was very gentle. I told her I was nervous about the pain because I'm pregnant. She asked if I was OK with the temperature of the wax and encouraged me to take a little break if I needed to. She really knows what she's doing, and doesn't rush. Carol used hard wax which adheres to the hair only. This made a big difference because the area was not left looking bright red like I've experienced at other places, also not as painful. Her technique pulls the hair at the root, which is the whole point of waxing, but at some places they pull the strip wrong and hair starts to grow back in a couple of days because the root was left behind. Carol also provides numbing spray if you'd like (she didn't recommend it for me cuz I'm preganant) she also has a wipe in case you need to freshen up prior to the waxing and she gives you a soothing cream and gel to apply afterwards. Also, she used a special oil during the waxing to soothe and remove any leftover stickiness. A bikini wax is never painless, but if you're going to do it, you want an aesthetician that knows what she's doing who will do it right. I recommend this place, and I will be going back for sure! The receptionist was pleasant too. Thank you Carol, you rock! read more

Carol did wonders on my face! I swear her hands are made out of a baby's ass because she snatched my face huntie. I came here for my very first facial ever and with acne prone skin. Not only did she resurrect the liveliness and smoothness of my face, but she was open to giving me recommendations outside of the studio which I love and appreciate dearly. Mami will be making money with me because I am telling the whole damn world to come here. Trusting someone with your face is hard, but I am soooo happy I trusted her read more

The customer service at Essencial Studio can't be beat! Carol has been giving me facial and waxing services for over 2 years now. I refuse to see to anyone else. Getting a bikini wax is a very personal experience and you need someone that you feel comfortable with. Carol is very hospitable. She makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. Her waxing is fast and painless and her facials are so refreshing. After every appointment, I feel like I've just ended a therapy session with my psychologist. She's a great person to talk to and she's determined to please and befriend everyone that walks thru her door. I highly recommend the services at Essencial Studios. The prices are reasonable, the services are excellent, and it's a great way for you to support small, local companies. read more

I had a great experience getting a brow/lip wax at Essencial Studio. Carol was very gentle and thorough, and she and her receptionist are both super friendly. The studio is nice and relaxing and easy to get in and out of. Easy online booking. I will be back! read more

Carol is always super nice and accommodating, it's never awkward or anything at all. I had my lip, underarms, and brazilian done in a half hour. Provides numbing spray and some soothing aloe for afterwards. They have discounts on Wednesdays. read more

I, myself, like many of you, looked to yelp to find a convenient place to get my legs waxed. I have very thick and stubborn hair so shaving just won't do. Creams are ok but waxing has to be the absolute best.....when I found essencial studio I read the reviews but was still very skeptical due to the fact there aren't many posted but I decided to take a chance anyway. The receptionist, Diana, was very sweet and informative over the phone as I set up my appointment. The location is very quaint and I never would have found it if it wasn't for yelp but anyway the decor was lovely and peaceful and I was greeted and offered beverages. I must say that everything that everyone has been saying about Carol is %100 true. She is an absolute wax goddess and very thorough. She knows her stuff about skin and is very sweet. She walked me through every step and tends to her clients well. She's inexpensive and she always has some sort of deal that's going on.....Carol is amazing and I have finally found my go to spot for waxing......in fact I loved her so much that I have already booked an appointment with her for a full Brazilian....I just want to say thank you Carol I am so glad I found you..... read more

Every time I go see Carol for a facial I walk out feeling great! She is very knowledgeable and always explains what she is doing. I love going in and I am super happy I found this place! read more

I went into Essencial Studio for the first time to get the microdermabrasion with glycol peel & oxygen mask. Although it's been taking a few days for my skin to heal, Carol's been with me every step of the way and very attentive to my concerns. My skin is looking better and better everyday and she even offered me a hydrating mask when my skin was flaky and taking a while to renew. Love the recommendations she made for my skin type. Carol and staff are amazing!! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Carol and Noel are super nice, very knowledgeable. The customer service is superb. I been coming here for all my waxing needs and they both do such a meticulous job. Definetly recommend this place. read more

Yesterday I had one of the best facials, I purchased the groupon deal for the package of microdermabrasion,peel and oxygen treatment.I enjoyed every minute of it and today my skin is so soft and nice.Thank you! read more

Carol is a wonderfully caring and professional esthetician. Love the purple theme of the salon. Makes me feel like the empress I am! Been here three times and highly recommend this place to anyone in need of a quality facial. I usually always use some sort of deal as there's usually one going on but I'd go back if I didn't have one. read more

I went here because of the reviews on Yelp and I was not disappointed!! I didn't even have an appointment but was slipped in. I was offered a free drink, given 15% of since it was my first time! Service was quick super friendly and hardly any pain at all. The girls there are so sweet and friendly. I can't believe I didn't know about this place before!! 10/10 read more

I got a gift certificate for here and Carol absolutely helped me! Being completely stressed out it took a toll on my skin. I got a facial and it made a huge improvement. So much I went back for the pumpkin peal. Great service. Great gift. read more

I had my second visit today and completely loved my facial. My first visit was almost two months ago for an essencial facial and it left my face and skin looking & feeling amazing. Noelle has done both facials for me, as today I had a quick fix facial. Both times Noelle was very informative with tips on how to manage my skin. I have very oily skin which causes break outs, but right after my first facial it was very hydrated and clear for weeks. That made me want to come back to her for sure. I will be back with her in two weeks for a silk peel and I am completely trusting with her when it comes to my skin. Great products as well! I have really noticed a difference in my skin since my first visit. I also love how it's so easy to schedule an appointment online. Overall great experience! They have found a loyal client. read more

Carol is fantastic! She makes you very comfortable and has great skills when waxing. So glad she is so close to my house!

I was super nervous to get a Brazilian done but it was the best experience. I have gone multiple times now with both Noel and Carol and they are both amazing. I will definitely keep making the drive over to get my Brazilian done. They do a great job of keeping you distracted and making it as painless as possible. I have definitely been recommending them to my friends. Glad I found this place! read more

I've received my brazilian waxes here and they always do an amazing job.... I recently decided to do a facial wirh Carol.... i have really bad seborrhoeic dermatitis on my face... and i have seen extreme improvement in redness and flaking. i am not sure if it was a direct result of the facial or the products she recommended.... but im in love with Essencial Studios. read more

Carol is not of this earth,So kind & really gentle. I know the pricing is a little higher than other places but they have great deals & the service is 100% worth it, I don't believe you should penny pinch when it comes to your body & your most intimate parts. read more

I left with my skin looking plumped and hydrated! I will definitely come back!

I am always in search of a relatively inexpensive but decent place for waxing services. I need a place that is a combination of nice environment and quick service. I decided to use a Yelp coupon and try Essencial Studio since it was close to my house. I was really happy with the service. Diana at the front desk was pleasant and mindful. The esthetician, Carol, was friendly and did a great job. She seemed knowledgable about all things related to waxing and she was happy to answer my questions. The decor is cute and the room I was in was clean. Finally, I think I found my go-to local place! read more
