My hair was also pretty heavily colored treated (at home by me via box dyes ). I met with Rachel who absolutely knocked it out of the park. She was able to give me exactly what I wanted (honestly it came out much better than I thought it could!) Rachel was so sweet/fun and was really good about testing/checking what my hair could handle. I'm so happy with my new hair and feel so much better about my look. Thank you Rachel/Blush! I will be coming back (and not trying to do it on my own!) Thank you again!!!

The salon is lovely, lots of friendly chatter but still maintaining a quiet & serene atmosphere. Tanya did a fantastic job on my hair. She fixed most of the mishaps and was a true professional with my crazy cowlicks. We chatted as you do and I learned a little about her, which was fun. I can't wait to go back and I highly recommend the salon & Tanya!!

I am a person who generally visits a salon for a cut and color every six to eight weeks to keep my…read morewedged shag and color in good order. Having moved from San Francisco to Paradise last July, only to be caught in November's Camp Fire, I recently settled in Grass Valley to make a fresh start. I was so busy rebooting my life that I let my thick wavy hair grow out and "do its own thing"with disastrous results, for all of six months! What was I waiting for, but where to begin? I called one popular shop on East Main, but, despite promises, no one returned my calls . Luckily, I spotted Essentials Salon in the shopping center off of McKnight, then read a very favorable review of the owner's work the next day on Yelp. I called Linda, warning that she would have a challenge ahead of her, and reported to her modern, self-designed shop two days later. (Easy parking near eateries and shops was a welcome bonus.) Although she tried to hide it, Linda must have been as shocked at my appearance as I was, because she dropped her lunch, reached for her camera, and asked my permission to take an anonymous "rear view" photo. Quickly, she got to work--snipping, coloring, and styling, while keeping me hydrated with sliced strawberries floating in refreshingly cold water. Linda has a natural way with color (she got it right on the first try), but her very special talent is sculpting adorable, easy - to -maintain cuts that even Edward Scisserhands would envy! She gives her clients her complete attention, producing exquisitely chic results. When all was said and done, she spun me around to reveal a multi-dimensional view and whipped out her camera once again. This time, with my permission, she photographed the result of her efforts. We agreed that the most appropriate title for the second photo had to be "An Amazing Transformation!" Linda did a fabulous job of restoring my self-confidence, as she deftly transformed my appearance. I will definitely return again to place my new carefree coif back into her very capable hands!

This review is LONG overdue. Lindsay was my hairdresser for approximately 2yrs; sadly, I had to…read moremove across states and abandon her not long after they opened Salon Empire in 2012. I lost touch with her over the years but her superb skills always "haunt" me in a very good way! I left the military in 2014 and became a barber in part because of her skills on my hair. She's simply excellent! I don't say these things lightly. Honestly, I've had two great hairdressers and she is one of them. It took me 4yrs to find the next one... and now I'm somewhere completely new again and on the hunt. Lindsay, if you're reading this... I deleted FB in 2014 and lost everyone! I work for Hanzo now; yes, that Hanzo. I miss you girl! I hope the kiddos are doing well and married life is grand!

Upon arrival i walk in to hear that she couldn't do my hair due to her forgetting to scedule me. I had the texts to prove that i had my appointment to which then she agreed she forgot. Upon me talking to Laura she was extremely rude, and raised her voice to me the customer. Yet I'm not the one in the wrong here, i simply wanted to have my hair done. I even texted her an hour before the appointment To confirm the payment. Never got a response or even a text to let me know that she forgot to set my appointment and that today was totally booked. She is extremely rude and i will never give her a pennie out of my pocket. I would never recommend her based off this horrible customer service experience.
