Essencial Studio - Hair Removal Near Me - Long Beach, California

I have been twice- once for the basic facial and once for a silk peel- and both times were awesome. Carol is incredibly knowledgable and she has totally changed the way I take care of my skin. I felt relaxed and completely pampered while I was there. The space was lovely and unpretentious. I'm absolutely going back at least every six weeks! read more

Carol at Essencial is very friendly professional and knowledgeable . She obviously loves what she does . The studio is very nice and I felt a sense of calm the minute I walked in. Thank you Carol for keeping me glowing. I would definitely be back!!! read more

Got my eyebrows shaped and tinted. It was my first time ever trying this out... I was a little nervous but Carol is such a sweetheart! She definitely knows what she's doing. She explains what she's doing, and asks what products you use to make sure your skin doesnt react badly to the products she uses and the wax. Now, my brows look like how I would do them with makeup on. read more

I had just bought an Amazon local deal for a microdermabrasion and redeemed it today and I am soooo happy with the results. The esthetician is nice and thorough, explaining what she would be doing every step of the way. The results are amazing, I bought an FHF body oil which was worth every penny. I will definitely be going back. Awsome! read more

Carol is amazing and makes you comfortable. She really took her time as I was nervous getting a Brazilian wax for the first time. She has made recommendations prior to my visit and after my appointment. I look forward to seeing her soon! read more

Carol did an amazing job! My skin feels so good!! Not only did she educate me throughout the facial, she helped me improve in my problem areas. I felt she was giving me honest advice and not sell products like with other facials I've experienced. Thank you! I will be coming back and refer family and friends for sure! read more

Carol is the absolute best I swear by her! I can have problem skin from time to time and I always leave Essential Studio with glowing skin. I have been coming to Carol for about a year and a half and my skin has improved significantly. I alternate between facials, microderms, and light to medium peels. My mother also goes here and an appointment for a facial with Carol is her #1 request for her birthday, mothers day etc. I have seen Noelle too and she is also really great. The ambiance here is amazing, very very clean, and the front desk girl is super helpful and friendly. read more

Excellent Essencial facial with Taryn! Taryn is true professional and made me feel welcome and relaxed. She told me what she was doing and what products she used. Price was good too. Warmly recommend and I will go again! Ps. Studio and treatment rooms were nice too! read more

First of all the esthetician who did my microderm and peel was very professional and nice. And her technique was on point. From speaking to her I found out she has worked at some pretty reputable spas in her past. So yes I loved the service. Then I met the owner Carol who was soooo super sweet. I bought a couple of products from her. One of them did not work out so well and she was totally cool with me bringing it back. She also took the time to talk to me about the local area and other parts of long beach(thinking of moving to lbc). So yes she is very nice and professional but also very personable. I love business owners like that! I just bought another voucher through Amazon Locals and hope to make an appointment within the next couple of weeks!! read more

Great service. I feel great, everything is awesome! The a great job I my face. Deffentlly come again read more

I am so happy I found this place. Carol is absolutely amazing. She used a face scanner to show me all of my problem areas on my skin which I thought was so helpful. During the facial she explained everything she was doing to me and answered all my questions and gave me so much information. My skin felt so amazing after the facial I was literally glowing! I will definitely be coming here again! read more

Love, love, love this place. Noelle did my waxing/facial and let me tell ya she knows what she's doing. It is clear her years of experience with the expertise in what she does. Session flew with a great conversation, I was so relaxed and forgot that I hate waxing and the unknown of what's coming. Will definitely recommend this place to family and friends. read more

I had a Facial for the first time today it was amazing!!! I will definitely be returning!! Carol was great!

Ivy did an amazing job! This is my second time with her and both times she was very meticulous and cares about her nail art. She put three coats of color on to make the color brilliant and perfectly even. I love chatting with her and she truly puts the client first. read more

Carol is so amazing at everything. Have had both bikini wax and lash lift and she is so professional. Hard to find a nice quick good waxer who doesn't hurt you or mess up. She is very experienced , numb spray helps and the room is very relaxing. Knows a lot about skin and cares for her clients. Found my new wax girl read more

I went here with my best friend. We've never had facials before and we totally enjoyed the experience!Carol took her time to explain what she was doing and did a thorough extraction on the areas that needed attention. I enjoyed the neck and shoulder massage as well. Most of the products that she used we're based on fruit enzymes which was a big plus in my book. I feel comfortable with Carol so I will definitely be back. I paid around 70 dollars ( including the sample masks that she recommended for my skin needs. Cassandra, the front desk girl was cool and fun to talk to as well! read more

Carol does an amazing job on my eyebrows; wax & tint. I am going to try her facial ASAP, and I will leave a follow-up review once it's booked and finished. Carol is the only one who has been able to get my uneven brows done right every single time! I highly recommend Essencial Studio and Carol! read more

Thank you Carol, for the amazing advice on my skin and also taking such great care of it! Just had my second facial and could not be more happier with the results. I used to go to those fancy medical spas and just felt they would always just try sell me on unnecessary things. I believe Carol truly cares for her clients that's why I give this spa 5 stars! read more

My first ever Facial and I must say I picked a fantastic location. Studio is clean, beautiful decor and fills you with tranquility. The products used feel fantastic and of high quality. I loved all the layers of cleansing the skin and the mini neck should massage. Thank you Carol for your attention to details on my skin and guiding me thru the process that you where performing on my face.. I loved it and can't wait to come back. read more

I went last week and got my first brazilian wax and Carol made me feel soooo comfortable!!! She was very nice and to relax me a little bit The front desk offered me complimentary wine. I would highly recommend place. read more

I tried a Brazilian at the art of waxing in LB 4 weeks ago ... It did not go well so I decided to try this place for my follow up... WHAT A BETTER EXPERIENCE ! Carol makes you feel so comfortable, these reviews are true ! We had a conversation throughout the whole session ... I did legs too ! She gives a numbing spray and rubs you down with oil , aloe Vera and makes sure you are comfy! I made my follow up right after ! Intimate, personal, and comfortable, definitely not going back to Dana at the art of wax ! read more

Quality salon! Carol and Noel are so knowledgeable on your skincare needs. My skin always looks more radiant after every treatment. I love the specials that they offer regularly and the prices are fair. I would definitely recommend the silk peel and the pumpkin enzyme peel. read more

Carol is fantastic at what she does! From facials to waxing she's the best. I've been going to her for about 10 years now and she's never steered my wrong. She works with you to achieve amazing results. Essencial Studio has a very welcoming environment. I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed! read more

Best salon for Brazilian waxing! It is well worth the $60. You really do get what you pay for, there is a anesthetic spray for you to use to prep yourself before waxing and even after you're done, Carol takes the time to pluck hairs that the wax may have missed. There are other salons that are cheaper, but don't offer those things. Carol really makes sure she waxes everything, gets it done quickly, and minimizes the amount of redness your skin may get from waxing. My first wax was here and I felt comfortable, and pain and redness minimal. She even warned me before she waxed areas that were more sensitive than others & explained to me why she was using hard or soft wax and kept checking to make sure the temperature of the wax felt okay on my skin. This place really is the best! read more

Wow! Seriously amazing.. Carol was such a perfectionist! The brow shape and color was absolutely amazing- she even made sure to get peach fuzz off by using a light to ensure perfection! She explained everything she was doing, and it was oddly relaxing!! I will absolutely be going back- it was the best brow waxing I've gotten. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. read more

Love my eyelashes! Thank u Carol for taking me in on your day off! You're very fast and they look great!

This place was great when the owner was running it herself. She hired very rude, awkward people- i will not be back. Which is unfortunate because I really enjoyed coming here before read more

So this would be my first facial after years , I loved it ! It was a bitter sweet because of how educated and more aware I became of my skin literally I was so shocked when she did a skin analysis on me let me tell you she knows what's she's talking about ! And I was so shocked when she showed me my skin under that machine she stuck my head in lol. The facial was so relaxing and my face did look really clear I went in their with the goal of having my nose smooth it was covered in black heads it was so gross. She used the pure silk on me if I remember correctly and it was relaxing too lol it sucks all the dirt and blackheads out it was pretty crazy to see the water afterwards -_- I loved it and will go back soon. I recommend it not only to feel good and have your skin appear nice but to get a better understanding of ur face and skin it really will shock you . read more

First time waxer, I can't imagine having gone any where else. The receptionist is attentive and friendly, offering beverage as soon as you walk in, makes for a comfortable atmosphere. And Carol is amazing at her job, very professional, friendly, and accommodating. As awkward as the situation may be, you are put at ease with light conversation and how she explains everything as she does it. Definitely worth a try. Highly highly recommended this to anyone and everyone. Happy new client! I am definitely going to return for another wax. Believe all the reviews! This place is worth the hype! read more

I normally go to was candy but I waited to long to make my appt. I called and the girl was able to squeeze me in. I will be honest it hurt soooo bad lol it never hurts at wax candy idk if the wax is different idk. Because of the pain 4 stars. Every thing else location customer service ect 5 stars I would still come back read more

I went there because I have been looking for a new place to try to get a facial and other skin care. I bought the groupon mainly because they had good reviews and it's a good way to try a new place without investing too much. I loved the peel/dermabrasion I received. The reviews are definitely legit. I will definitely be back for my bi monthly facials. read more

Ive been going on a off for a few years. Carol and Noelle are friendly and professional. They make my waxing experiences more enjoyable and I trust them. Its also very clean and its a relaxing atmosphere. 10/10 would always reccommend. read more

Carol has a very comfortable and clean shop! I initially went here searching for a professional and modern place to shape my eyebrows, with clean products for sensitive skin, and I haven't left. I've been a customer for well over a year and am always happy with each visit. read more

My boyfriend bought me a Yelp coupon to Esscencial Studio last year for $50 worth of $75 of professional skincare treatments. The coupon promotion expires in one year, and that one year was almost up, so I decided to book an appointment last week. I don't know why it took me so long to finally book an appointment, but after yesterday's visit, I wish I could have gone sooner! Let me tell you that the esthetician, Carol, knew what she was doing! She was very knowledgeable, professional, down-to-earth and all around helpful especially for my first treatment of getting a micro peel. She scared my jitters away. She made sure that I was always comfortable by asking me to rate 1-10 how a certain product feels on me. Not only that, but her hands were so gentle and soft when she massaged my face. I was also so impressed by the spa room - very soothing and the nature music in the background made it even more pleasant. I have gotten a microdermabrasion treatment several months ago and was a bit displeased with my experience (elsewhere). I actually found a Groupon deal to a spa facility in Marina Del Rey (a long ways trip from home). It took me several months to book an appointment there because they were always booked (or closed four days a week!!!). It was really inconvenient for me, especially when I was juggling school and work at that time. Fast-forward a few weeks later, my boyfriend found me a Yelp deal to Essencial Studio. I looked up where it was located and it was actually less than 1 mile from home! The best part was booking everything online (prices included) with several openings. The moment I arrived, a kind receptionist greeted me. I really adore the atmosphere and the great customer service I received yesterday and I will keep returning back for more. I look forward to booking monthly facials with Carol! You are too sweet and thank you for the wonderful advice on skin care as well as the information on the spectacular hairdresser in West Hollywood (lol)! I can't wait to hear about how the experience went for you :) I would definitely recommend anyone to try this place out! read more

Carol is amazing, she's so sweet and goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable. Regardless of what service you're getting. I love the convenience of booking your appointment online, and you're also able to cancel your appointment online too. I would certainly recommend Essencial Studio to anyone. read more

This review is way overdue. Noel is the BEST! I was super nervous about my first facial. She made me comfortable and had me laughing. She helped me realize everything I thought I knew about my skin was wrong. I can take much better care of my skin now. I got compliments for weeks after my facial. read more
