My longtime shea butter supplier is no longer in business and I have been on the hunt for a new quality shea butter supplier as I have very sensitive dry skin. I came across Taj and stopped by about a month ago after speaking to them over the phone and I purchased the pineapple scent to see how it would do and I loved it. I recently came back and decided to also try a few oils in addition to more shea butter as they have many scents. The staff are all so very helpful and patient and they give recommendations as well. The service is just superb! So glad to have found them. read more

Randomly came in on a recent trip to Charlotte and I'm so glad I did! As a lover of fragrances and good customer service, Taj Essentials is my kind of place. The ladies who helped me were super nice and patient, letting me smell everything I desired. I didn't feel rushed at all. Had I not been flying I would have bought more. I may have to place an online order for one of the scents I'm really enjoying. read more

All i have to say is everything that I have purchased from them has been amazing. I love their scented body butters they are better than any I have ever purchased and I will definitely be going back to purchase more. read more

My first shopping experience of the year and it was perfect. I had a friend come in town and I wanted to bring her to Taj because she is quite found of my lavender and chamomile shea butter cream. This was my second time shopping in this store. My friend was excited and jumping from aisle to aisle. We ended up purchasing sage, imported oils, edible sea moss in a jar, and black seed oil. My friend had questions and one of the owners came over to help she was friendly, professional and honest! She educated us on many of the products and advised that shipping is an option. I was pleased to know that even though I'm local I may still take advantage. Definitely stop in here for your scented, spiritual, health, and cleanse needs. read more

it appears taj essentials cannot take the negative criticism/comments, but can show unhinged actions to patrons. what horrible business acumen hater!?!?!? since when does asking a question qualify as hating or harrasment? how does my word choice, greedy, validate the behavior? show the cctv footage since i am the cause,hell. if i did what you're attempting to say i did why weren't the athorities involved? your response is asinine, deflective, and extremely defensive for such deplorable behavior that your counter girls displyed and caused. you have addressed nothing! i have patronized your store since it opened but never no more!!!! i hope more see your responses to current reviews and take my sentiment to heart to stay as far away as possible!!! ******************************* just walked out of taj. been going since they opened eastway location. was an awesome spot with excellent customer service. i asked the counter girls who were nasty with exatra large money losing attitudes about the $3 smell policy. i was not purchasing any perfumes. i just wanted to know. the policy was explained like this; since they (taj) pay for the perfumes, they are wasting money opening up the fragrances for customers to smell or potentially purchase. the $3 deposit goes towards the purchase of the fragrance or any store item. huh!? well, what if i don't purchase anything? where are your testers? where was the customer service???? i told them it is extremely greedy to implement such a policy. do you know this one girl in particular got the ignorant party started, caused a scene, and all talked extra loudly told me don't say greedy because that is not what they are? also, another girl chimed in co-signing, yelling we don't need your money. i was denied spending my money (lol) asking a question!!! well, it is extremely greedy to do this, and my word choice is my word choice. little ignorant young counter ladies of taj essentials you need customers to make revenue!!! i am never payronizing taj or any businesses that become greedy greedy greedy!!! btw the prices have increased, don't do it. we the people have the purchasing power. policy still applied as of 6.19.2025 at 2:11 pm. read more

When I accidentally walked into their door instead of sally beauty the scent of relaxation had me asking the sally clerk what was that place next door. She told me they have the best essential oils. I was compelled and glad I did. The owner Zazz recommended an imported oil from Mecca called Golden Sands. They recommended the best oils for me to help me relax and to catch a boyfriend. I highly recommend this location this establishment and this wonderful amazing couple ownership. This is a family establishment they are new to Charlotte but they have been in business for over 20 years. Zazz and his wife Simone are an awesome couple for this amazing establishment. They represent everything that's good and exciting in Charlotte Come shop with them, I got a free gift for being the first customer of the day. read more

It is so interesting how things play out in life sometimes. I literally was thinking to myself all week that I needed to research where I could find incenses. I go to lunch at Portofino's and when I walked out I got a wiff of an amazing smell. I thought to myself, "oh my goodness where is that coming from." I go to my car so I wouldn't be looking crazy sniffing like a dog. I Googled Taj Essentials because I figured that might be where it was coming from. I saw the website and hopped right back out my car to go inside. I was greeted immediately when I walked in and felt so welcomed. The owners were so joyful and you could feel their positive energy. Ya'll when I say there are options here, there are OPTIONS. It was like the candy store at the mall but essential oils, candles, soaps, etc. Any scent you could think of they have it. And they have the scents you can't think of nor ever heard of. I ended up buying 4 packs of incenses, soap, and 2 bottles of car spray. The prices are amazing! You def get a bang for your buck! I can definitely see this being a place I'll visit often whether I'm shopping for myself or getting gifts. read more

I've been going here to shop for about a year and a half. I love them. They are so friendly! I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Went into the store today, and it was busy. To be expected with great products, repeat customers and warm customer service. Taj educated me on peppermint oil that I was seeking to control plant gnats. I ended up buying oil to burn, body oil, lotion with lavender, edible sea moss with tumeric and ginger, shea butter and several cute bracelets. I also purchased incense, something I haven't even seen since the "good ole days." LOL I will definitely return as I would like to purchase more body oils and lots of other items I saw in the store. Very clean, well organized store and again, customer service is on point; you feel like family and get an education in the process. read more

Loved Taj Essentials. Ezaz is the man - he will help find a scent that is perfect for your body chemistry. Forget department store prices for brand name fragrances. Ezaz will hook you up with the essential oil equivalent for $15 for 4. A great place to bring the kids. A great place to find a gift for a hard-to-shop for person. read more

Oh man!! This store has the most essential energy and it's not just the products but the owners are amazing!!

The absolute best place for essential oils in Charlotte. There is really nothing else like it in this city. The huge variety and great quality of oils would be enough to keep me coming back but the customer service really tops it off. The owners are so thorough and genuine. I love supporting their business. I'm an extremely picky and indecisive person and they take their time to let you smell anything you want, test mixing scents, even give you ideas! I have eczema and sensitive skin and they let me test it and gave me tips on how to use it better with my skin as well. Can't say enough good things, love this place so much! read more
