    After going to another local nail salon for a couple years I was looking for a change as their service was mediocre and my dip nail set only would last for a week or two. Glad I found Essence. Went to Steven and his technique makes my manicure last for 3+ weeks. He is patient and is very detailed. If you go to Essence ask for Steven!

    Great service and my nails look great. Steven was very patient and precise. He took his time with my nails and pedicure! Ty!

    After moving to the Apopka Area, I was trying to find a nail salon that wasn't too far. I looked up on yelp the reviews, and found this one that I thought that accommodate my request. I was specifically intrigued by the photo they had of a client who had Halloween inspired nails and were long. When I came in for my appointment today, I requested the same length and shape of that picture I saw on their yelp. Sad to say this is not my cup of tea and this is after a few attempts on trying to coach and explain what I wanted.

    Julie never, ever misses! Her work is seriously so amazing. Before coming here my nails were constantly chipping and breaking, with or without dip and/or gel. I was at my wits end and came in saying if the same thing happened again I would stop getting my nails done altogether. Needless to say, I haven't stopped returning. These are my natural nails pictured in my review!!! She completely transformed my nails with her work! All the employees do great work, especially with pedicures. If you're looking for phenomenal work, definitely check out Essence!

    I will start by mentioning that I believe you will be ok if you get service by Steven and Julie, per the reviews that I read prior to requesting and appointment, they are very much recommended and highlighted, you can actually see some of their work here. With that said I am very disappointed and no intention to return there. I requested appointments with the individuals mentioned above via their online portal, to be notified at the time of my appointment that they were booked already, I think that if you offer an online option to schedule, before sending a confirmation you make sure that there is actually an opening with that individual. If you're planning on going there it will be best to request the appointment in person. Regarding the work done, my daughters were with me each getting their nails done and a pedicure. The pedicure was wonderful, but the nails a totally different story, you can see how my nails were file, and the color of one of my daughters totally different from what she asked. The worse was my other daughter... I just leave you some pictures, sure not the worst nails ever but not at all what she asked and paid for, I mean she asked him twice to make the shape narrow and he answered I am not done yet... there is an ispo picture and then the actual nails

    Julie was fantastic great customer service and did an amazing job 10/10 definitely recommend going here!!!

    Got my hair done by Janice. Originally came for just a hair cut, but then decided to get color done…read moretoo. She was extremely kind with a great personality. My hair came out amazing! Tamera also took me last minute as I decided to also get my eyebrows done. A job well done by her too! Looking forward to booking with them again!

    The stylists are friendly. The atmosphere is calming. I loved it there! However, within two weeks,…read moreI noticed I was having trouble styling it. NBD I struggle. But it was just one hunk of hair on the left side of my head that I couldn't get it right. It just doesn't blend as nice as the rest of the cut, it's longer and thicker. To be fair, in my 45 years as an adult there has only been one stylist who got my hair right the first time; it always needs to be corrected in that area. My difficulty lies in the fact that over the last 3 days I've made 3 contacts to the salon to correct my hair; an email and 2 voicemails. I have time constraints because we are temporarily down to one vehicle which I did explain in the email and one of the voicemails. I also said I don't need a full service, just please blend this one area. On the day of the cut the Jamila was distracted and hurried - she wasn't who I scheduled with, it was her scheduled day off, and she was late for a video interview. I spent $87.50 of hard-earned money on a cut, style, eyebrow wax, and tips. No one contacted me to see what can be worked out. Totally ghosted. Not professional.
