I'm leaving this as a 4-star review only because I have an expectation of longer hours (I was told everyone was fully booked, but Sam was the only person working on Saturday at 2 PM; I walked in fully expecting a bustling shop full of stylists and patrons), quicker call-back for an appointment (I got a text a day after I called for an appointment; my expectation is within an hour of inquirty), and a tidier shop (the shop is clean but kind of messy). Please don't get me wrong, I appreciated the kind responses to my inquiry and was happy Sam was able to accommodate me on short (3-day notice) and make me look great. Curiously, when I went to book online Sam was not an available option with whom I could book an appointment. I hope the person responsible for the portal will ensure they can schedule time with him. Please go to see Sam. Thanks for making this Chicago girl look and feel great.

This salon is PHENOMENAL! I'm picky about salons: of course I want my hair to turn out nicely, but…read moreI also need to feel comfortable with the stylist and the atmosphere. The Beauty Lounge offered the best overall experience of any salon I've tried in Cedar Rapids--and I've been shopping around for a while. The salon is small and very well decorated: it's feminine and clean without being frilly. The entire staff was personable and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Megan--the salon's owner--cut and colored my hair and she did an amazing job. She is very skilled as a stylist and she was really fun to talk to as well! She went the extra mile in every way during my appointment by taking the time to brew some fresh coffee for me, helping me sift through my Pinterest page to find the perfect cut, and by beautifully transforming my hair. When it came time to pay, I was shocked at how reasonable the price was for everything Megan did. In short: this salon offers a great experience and competitive prices. I absolutely recommend this salon and I'm so glad I found it!

I met Kelsey when she was still working in New York. She is truly the best stylist I've ever known!…read moreI'm sure I'm not the only one who feels very protective about their hair- I try my best to keep it healthy and beautiful, so previous bad experiences left me feeling anxious about going to get a haircut. I've gone to stylists who lop off more than I've asked, who've forced a look on me that I didn't like but they insisted on, who burnt or damaged my hair by not trusting my opinion. Kelsey is a stand out in all regards. Kelsey is friendly, welcoming, and super professional. She listens to your opinion to help you achieve your vision. She's incredibly skilled, so I was more than happy to go with her direction and trust that she wouldn't steer me wrong with her suggestions: I was 1000% correct! I'd never dyed my hair before I met her, but she helped me slowly ease into fantasy colors- I never received more compliments on my hair than I did when she helped me sport pink and lavender hues! After I had my fun with those tones, I wanted something more natural. Kelsey nailed it! I feel so confident and happy about my look thanks to her expert styling! Whether you want something subtle and natural or you're looking for something bold and beautiful, you really can't go wrong with her!

My wife and daughter have been going to Kelsey for years and she does a super job so I thought I…read morewould have her cut my hair too. I was impressed with the amount of time she took looking over my hair and asking lots of questions before even starting. My hair get's pretty shaggy and I loved how she thinned it so it lies better. I've been combing the same way for decades and she styled it a new way that made me feel younger. Kelsey is a Cedar Rapids native with several years experience specializing in cut and color in New York City. We are very fortunate to have someone with her level of skill right here in the NewBo district. I suggest you book her now before the word gets out and her client list fills up!

She is so patient with the loooong process of cutting an coloring, and makes my hair feel and smell delicious. I have had long hair for the last ten years of my life and was so afraid to get it cut. She was so sweet to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it and walked me through the whole process. The only downside is price. I wasn't expecting to have to pay as much as I did. BUT that shouldn't deter anyone from going. I honestly think if you talked about price and what you want done they would accommodate you. No doubts about it. And it will not stop me from going back. This salon is beautiful and the owner is so kind! I loved that she said hi and introduced herself after my appointment because it's not something you typically expect when people are so busy these days. If you're looking for a simple cut, to cover up grays, to try a new color, or to do a combination of any of those things I highly recommend giving Essence Salon a go! The ladies and atmosphere are a dream, and everyone deserves to look good AND feel good.
