    Keratin treatment failed and they wouldn't make it right.  NOT straight or smooth and silky.
    Lynne B.

    I booked a keratin treatment and hair cut. I have been getting blow outs for many years and have had great success with it being straight, smooth and silky. THIS was not. My hair was still curly and frizzy and the cut had to be redone because the cut had very hard edges. The redo on the cut was wonderful but the manager said the Keratin treatment worked. My curly frizzy hair says otherwise. They were not willing to redo my hair (I wasn't asking for a refund of the VERY expensive treatment) . I would not recommend this salon.

    Fresh hair!

    This salon is amazing!! The front desk staff is always warm and welcoming. Van does my new growth touch up which is a bleach and tone and she does a marvelous job! I have healthy blonde hair with no bands or breakage! She is also a really grey hair cutter! I also enjoy having facials Rachelle! She is very knowledgeable about skincare. Also 10/10 on the covid precautions. Everyone is wearing a mask and sanitizing everything between other clients. I feel safe and excited everytime I have a service here. Thank you L'essence!!

    I at first loved this place was going here for about a year now I always saw Krista she is amazing ! I really wanted a hair cut and Krista was booked out , but they were able to get me in with someone named Abigail . And let me tell you she did the most horrible job ever! My hair cut is completely disaster uneven and the front is so ugly I don't know what she was trying to do . I would not recommend going to her at all now I have to wait for my hair to grow out ! Worse hair cut in my life . I had to go to another salon and try to get it fixed and that salon said as well they were getting girls from the same location and girl to fix their hair . I never do reviews but I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. This is why I'm writing this. Beware not worth the money. Don't go to Abigail or she will cut your hair like mine. Iam completely embarrassed of my hair now.

    I moved here to Reno from the Bay Area about 2 years ago and have yet to find a hairstylist that I wanted to go to, so I started just cutting my own hair. I decided I wanted to treat myself and go get pampered. I chose this Salon after finding Rebecca's Instagram page and falling in love with her work! I was a little scared at first as I've never dyed my hair before, and I really wanted to add some highlights. She took such great care of me and now I don't think I'll trust anyone else with my hair! She cut and dyed my hair exactly how I wanted it, and styled it to perfection before the end of my appointment. L'essence is also an extremely homey salon with tons of windows, plants, and seating thats not so close next to another client. They also take Covid precautions seriously here so I like that as well. I think the only downfall is that they are pretty pricey depending on what you get done, but it is definitely worth the money!!

    This is a lovely salon located in a cute house on the corner of Liberty and Flint Street by the art museum. If you are looking for a classy experience with a sassy and well-versed hairdresser, request an appointment with Nikki Cimino! She gave me some bangin' bangs last I saw her. Her previous training and work in San Fran has given her an extra edge in Reno, and she is actively involved in furthering her education by attending seminars and workshops. L'essence will provide you with an upscale atmosphere, a complimentary glass of wine, pretty views with lots of natural sunlight, and good company. I'm partial to Nikki and her vivacious personality, and I have loved her haircuts as well as her advice for keeping my hair healthy between visits. She typically recommends Aveda products, and I am always sent home with small samplers for my skin or hair. I always appreciate a non-forceful sales pitch for products, as I don't use many of those at home. I paid $60 for a cut after a friend's referral, and women's cuts generally run around $70. So go see mah girl Nikki in her best element, she'll give you the bangs and bits you've always wanted.

All my previous sentiments still stand about how wonderful she is in waxing the brows: she does it for their shape and not the trends. Additionally I wanted to comment on what a great business woman she is. It's been great to see her through so many changes and the growth of her business. She started off, when I started seeing her in 2014, just her and one or two other aestheticians, and a couple nail ladies. Now, she's got a good handful of employees also doing waxing and possibly other services. I only see her for my eyebrow waxes. Also in 2014 she started in a like four room office upstairs in a converted house to business building in midtown. Now she's got a larger converted house to business building, where she is currently. She truly cares for her clients and employees and wants to give everyone the best experience possible. Will continue to see her for waxing my eyebrows, and will continue to 10/10 recommend this business as a whole.

At this point, she can basically read my mind for my brow needs, but, even so, she always ensures I am happy with the shape and length of my eyebrows. When Kathleen is not available (rare, because I book appointments ahead of time), I am never worried, because all of the waxers that I have seen are professional and friendly. Besides the high quality service that Kathleen provides, I love EWC because of the wax passes. Yes, prices have gone up (especially, in the age of inflation the last few years), but it is still worth it for me. I get my eyebrows waxed every 2 weeks, so the unlimited wax pass just makes sense. However, I also like the fact that there are wax passes with limited quantity. And they never expire! Seriously, I purchased a 7 lip wax pass back in 2020 for my wedding and engagement photos, but it is not a service I regularly use. I still have some lip waxes in my account, and I can use them as needed (like for special occasions). This particular EWC always seems busy with men and women bustling in and out for appointments, and the traffic has taken its toll on the lobby furniture. The lobby could use a bit of TLC, but everything is still clean and functional, if a little worn. Overall, I am still in love with EWC! Keep offering the unlimited eyebrow wax pass, and I will be there.

I am in my third trimester of pregnancy and had a great experience with Brea. I had expressed that I was I was feeling a bit self-conscious and anxious and Brea helped me feel less so with her calm and professional manner. (Side note, she likes to read so I found talking about books with her to be a great way to distract myself). It sounded like Brea had waxed a number of pregnant ladies already in her waxing career so that was reassuring. I thought she did a phenomenal job. I swear it wasn't as painful as waxing for me in the past had been and I was really happy with the results. I had forgotten my jacket but the company even texted me so I could return and get it. Excellent service all around. I also really liked the studio. It was clean inside and there were a lot of cute signs and things to look at that fit with the bee theme. I do wish they could have decorated the ceiling somehow as that was mainly my view during the service-- perhaps a dangling bee garland would be cute? I will say I wish they had an extra curtain or partition of some sort (what are those called, a Japanese room divider?). You enter through a door and then they pull the curtain closed to cover the door. Maybe they could put one more curtain perpendicular to that one at the foot of the bed just to give a little bit more sense of peace of mind regarding privacy. Overall, I'd highly recommend getting sugar waxing done here. It's a very nice and clean place.
