I just had my first appointment at Salon Essence with Jackie!!! I can't even begin to explain what a great experience this was. She is so kind...... a friendly down to earth stylist. I have found my new stylist and look forward to seeing Jackie again. She listened to everything I was asking for and didn't mind my showing her a picture of what I was looking for. AMAZING job!! The color is absolutely beautiful and the cut is just what I was looking for. Thanks so much Jackie!!! :O) If your looking for a great stylist who will listen and deliver.....it's Jackie! :O) read more

I just had my first appointment at salon essence with Maria and she was fabulous. I could not wait to book my next appointment. My hair color looks amazing and my haircut is just what I wanted I highly recommend this salon.Thank you so much Maria! read more

Location is great and parking lot is an added bonus. Nice large salon and respects covid issues. Have only gone to Rebecca and she is such a great person who really listens and makes sure you are happy with whatever service she is providing. Only complaint she is so good it is nearly impossible to get an appointment. You will get one but more than likely further out than you are looking for but well worth the wait. Love the online booking of appointments as well. read more

I don't usually go to this type of place because I'm scared I won't have the answers to all of the questions my stylist will ask, but here I felt super comfortable giving feedback, positive or negative. Left feeling awesome about myself and will definitely be back! Probably drive by 8 salons on my way but well worth it to me :) Give these ladies a try! read more

I am still a client of Bridgette's and am still seeing her at Salon Essence. She always nails exactly the look I'm looking for and I leave every time happy! She is very knowledgeable about hair care and coloring and suggesting hair products. The salon is always spotless and very welcoming. I always recommend Salon Essence to my friends and send them to see Bridgette. read more

First time customer TODAY! Called TODAY and got in TODAY! I met Alisha and she was great. Really listened to what I was thinking and offered advice (after I asked for it) on what I should do. I got a cut and color and highlight. My hair is back to being healthy and I love it! She is very detailed and validates what I am saying, that way we are both on the same page. I would go back there again. I would also recommend going there again. It's a small salon but a friendly feel, very clean and nice. I am excited to show off my new hair cut on vacation and love my hair again. Thank you ALISHA!! Note to self, they do not take AMEX and there is not a tip line on the CC. You need to add if first or pay cash. read more

Super happy with my new hair cut!! This was my first time here.. I had seen the salon in passing many times in the last 6 months I have moved to MA but never really went in to check it out. Amanda did my hair and she was perfect!! She took time and kept checking with me in between to see if this was what I had in my mind which was great. Donna was also over seeing to make sure I was happy with my haircut. The whole experience was fabulous! I would definitely be coming back here. Glad to have found the perfect salon for my hair needs so close to home. Also I got a 50% off since Amanda is relatively newer and I was first time there. But she is darn good!! Thank you so much Amanda. read more

Side note: Yeah, this place isn't closed. It just moved from its original location. All attempts to get Yelp to update the address and "reopen" the business haven't worked out too well. Donna and Rebecca are hair GODDESSES. I'm not here to flash the OG badge, but I've been around long enough for most of you to know that I'm a pompous ass. Vain does not begin to describe me, and my hair is sacred. So when I lost my stylist, I was shattered, confused, not sure who to trust, and then one day by sheer happenstance I found Salon Essence. The inside it inviting, the staff is as friendly as can be, their fingers are talented, and they even manage to share my hair vision. . something not even stylists on newbury could accomplish. I've even awarded them my highest honor: "Go ahead, color it however you want. . . I trust you." Yeah. They're that good. So if you're in the neighborhood swing on by, and if you're not, hop in your car and head out to the burbs for a fantastic salon experience. read more

I currently live in NC and joined my fiancé on a business trip to Boston. Had a few hours to kill and decided to get my hair done. Let's just say Taylor was well worth the 2 1/2 hour flight. One of the Best cut and color I've had in a long time! Thank U read more

Just called and asked to place an appointment and got hung up on. Lady i was on the phone with was super rude as well when i was speaking to her. Absolutely not okay. This was a while ago and I have tried to make appointments after this, but no one has picked up on the several occasions I have called them. read more

I recently discovered Jackie at Salon Essence in Wilmington and I'm so glad I did!!! She has been coloring my hair for the last few months with beautiful results and also added highlights that came out awesome. My hair is a little shorter than shoulder length with long layers and I decided to go for a shorter cut with short layers. I brought in a picture of the cut I wanted and Jackie confirmed my hair would be good for that style. The cut came out nicer than I imagined and I am so happy with it!!! I have received so many compliments on my new hair style. So if u are looking for a GREAT hair stylist, give Jackie at Salon Essence a try. You will not regret it. She is an awesome stylist as well as an awesome person. All the girls at Salon Essence are extremely nice and friendly. read more

I have been following Alisha for several years. She is now at Salon Essence and she does an amazing job with my hair. I will continue to follow her to where ever she moves to as she is worth the trip. Not often you can sit in the chair and not worry how your hair turns out but with Alisha she has never let me down.. I always am thrilled with every hair cut given by Alisha.. Not afraid to try something new and yes, she listens to what my needs are.. Thanks again for a fantastic hair style.. I love it!! read more

I swear by Rebecca. Anything she says or recommends I go with. I've been going to Salon essence for over 17 years I've moved around and STILL send my family an friends to her. I have a 7yo and a mother who's getting up there that live with me but my hair NEEDED her touch. I wasn't worried they've always kept the place spotless an I work in salons it's hard to do. But clearly you have a small voice that's wonders is it worth it ? But everything I touched, went near or used was IMMEDIATELY sanitized am wiped completely down. The capes were all disposable. At one point the other hair stylist I notice purposely went around the room just to get a towel. JUST to avoid coming into an area where I was drying. The next appts waited in the car until she went out to get them, and their stations spread make it seem like it's just you an her, It's the EXTRA mile and how aware they are of where the clients are an what they've touched or handled that made me relax an realize life CAN BE BACK to normal an enjoy my favorite salon without worrying or feeling guilty. Be back in 8 weeks Becc ! read more

Alisha is one of the most amazing stylists I have ever sat in a chair for! It's like she looks into my brain and knows exactly what I want. I always take her last appt of the day so I can shut the place down with her. I get razor cuts, and her cutting and styling techniques cannot be matched anywhere. She also always shows me how to do my newest style. That is SO important! I can't stand when I don't know how to do my new "do". read more

I had an appt with Alisha on Saturday for a color. I was unable to get my previous stylist to do exactly what I wanted with the color and Alisha nailed it. I was a bit gun shy after a color debacle with my previous stylist that left me getting color corrections, but Alisha filled me with confidence that she could do it and she did! She also helped me out with shaping my hair which is in the process of growing out an asymmetrical cut I got last year. The cut was impromptu even though I was only booked for a color. She did not charge me for it no matter how much I insisted and tried to get the receptionist to add it or at least tell me the price of the cut. I was very impressed with her skills, I'm always scared to try someone new as I've had many terrible cuts on my curls. Ask for Alisha, you won't be sorry! read more
