The hairstylist Mirtha did a great job on my hair and did exactly how I wanted it. I showed her a picture and she was able to replicate it with my hair and styled it so well. I will definitely go back to get another haircut with her.

terrible! They fried my hair at a bad attempt of an ombré. It's not blended and embarrassing for their business.

Linda does wonders with her shears and offers more than many stylists ever could! I have been to Hair Essentials to get my hair done by Linda several times now and have left satisfied every time! I am so lucky to have such a great salon in Downey. Best of all it is very unique. Linda takes the time to get your hair done just the way you want it every time. Just pay close attention to how she works your hair with the shears and you'll agree. My mother studied cosmetology so I know what I am talking about. It's not hard to find the salon and there is plenty of free parking. Why do I say she has more to offer than an average beautician? Well, she has immense knowledge of all things spiritual! She has studied feng shui and other forms of maximizing the spritual dimension in your life. Some hair stylists will rarely chat about anything other than gossip but I have actually left Linda's chair with advice on how to improve my karma and success in life. She can also do feng shui for you at your home. She has studied under some of the best masters and knows different forms of feng shui. One of my BF's coworkers actually used her feng shui skills and she says that it was worth every penny! There's nothing like the combination of beauty and wisdom that Linda's great skills have to offer. Try Hair Essentials and you will very surely agree with me that something as simple as taking care of your looks can go hand in hand with things that are generally considered more spiritual.

I love Linda! She did an amazing job on my hair. My hair feels great & i love the layers. Great price for amazing work.

Last year, I booked with Melanie (Mel) after seeing her work and positive reviews. My first and…read moresecond appointments with her were amazing -- she was attentive, professional, and exactly what I needed while dealing with postpartum hair loss. Unfortunately, communication since then has shifted. I booked a 6:00 AM appointment a month in advance for today. Since it was an early start time I wanted to make sure we were still set to meet. I texted twice yesterday to confirm -- at 12:22 PM and 6:10 PM. By 9:00 PM with no response, I assumed the appointment was forgotten or canceled. She eventually responded at nearly midnight, which I didn't see until morning, effectively canceling the appointment. I understand her reason for canceling, but what I don't understand is the lack of communication -- a quick text takes a minute. Booking this appointment was already frustrating due to delayed or no responses, & the last-minute message makes me feel like she wasn't even planning to reach out. I truly liked her work & wanted to remain loyal, which makes this extremely disappointing. I'll unfortunately be looking for a new stylist & a new salon.

The other day I had a pleasant experience with Mel! Not on did she take her time & pay close…read moreattention to detail doing my chunky highlights I felt welcomed & well taken care of. Upon arriving the first stylist greeted me kindly & directed me to Mel's station. We reviewed what we had talk in our consultation & got straight into work. I'm so happy w my hair & appreciate the detailed work Mel did.
