Last weekend she once again did an incredible job with our haircuts, color, and styling, and we couldn't be happier. Natalie is not only incredibly talented, but also so thoughtful, detail-oriented, professional, and genuinely caring. She always takes the time to listen and somehow knows exactly what will look best. On top of that, she's just such a joy to spend time with. If you're looking for an amazing stylist in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend her enough. She's the absolute best!

Not only did she considerably thin my hair, but she also cut a thick 1 inch layer at the base of my neck! When I try to put my hair up, it won't go into my hair tie, and it looks hideous! It makes me feel bad every day, and it will take me a long time to grow out.

Really happy with my haircut at Essence Salon with Yessenia!…read more Booked a haircut appointment with Yessenia through the website for a Tuesday afternoon. I asked for a rounded haircut with lots of layers and face-framing pieces and I showed her my inspo photos as well. She first washed my hair and then got started on the cut. Yessenia did an amazing job! She was friendly and professional and gave me exactly what I requested. I wasn't sure whether to go with lighter or heavier curtain bangs/face-framing pieces, and she knew exactly what would suit me when she suggested sticking with lighter face framing. She also somehow managed to style my frizzy Indian hair perfectly without using much tension on the brush, which was shocking to me. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Yessenia and Essence Salon and will definitely be returning!

I've been on the hunt for a new hair stylist, and Grace is truly that girl! From the start, she…read morelistened carefully to every detail I shared and took the time to go through my inspiration photos with me, making sure we were on the same page before she even picked up the scissors. I originally booked this appointment last minute after another stylist canceled on me the day before a trip - and honestly, I'm so grateful that happened, because I would've never found Grace otherwise. Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who really knows what they're doing, actually listens, and creates an amazing overall experience.

As previously mentioned, I got a blowout from Jade for a wedding I was a brides maid for. I was…read morevery excited to be able to book with Jade as she consistently delivers the most perfect results. Jade was super kind and helpful with styling and suggested waves. The waves stayed all day (picture at end of day shown, selfie from beginning of day) which has never happened for my hair when I style it myself since it's so heavy. I have never gotten so many compliments in my life on my hair, and I felt really beautiful! Thank you Jade! I would trust Jade 1000% for any event/occasion with my hair.

Pam Romero is absolutely amazing! She used to cut my hair at Monica Foster Salon, and I always got…read moreso many compliments after every appointment. I'm really sad she's no longer there, but I've followed her work and continue to recommend her to friends--they all love her too! Pam is not only talented but also one of the sweetest and kindest people you'll meet. She genuinely cares about her clients and always makes sure you leave happy. Just to be clear--this rating is all about Pam, not the salon. She's the reason for the stars!

I was worried I might fry my hair off but Lynn made sure that it looked nice and stayed healthy. Lynn is really well versed and experienced with dying and bleaching hair. She is so patient. She takes time with the consultation to learn about what you're looking for and teach you about what you can do with your hair. I love it. It lets her clients make informed decisions. The vibes are great. Love watching shows while getting my hair cut or just chatting with her. My favorite that I've seen at her salon is "somebody feed Phil".

Last night, 7:45pm, my devastated child came home with the absolutely worst ever haircut- we just…read morecouldn't believe our eyes, and there were so many tears! He just wanted it shorter around the ear- how could that be misunderstood??? It was a true emergency, because there was no way I would let my child go through the humiliation of going to school the next day like that. It was really THAT bad! I started dialing and hoping some kind person would understand and help us, but who would ever take someone after 8pm, and that was IF we could get someone to answer our call at 7:50pm. That is when i called Like salon, and this angel named Tracy answered and listened to our situation. It takes a very kind person to decide to help total strangers who were asking her to stay past closing time and take a brand new client, and that is the person Tracy is. We've all had a bad haircut at least once in our lives, but this was far worse, and it would take a very experienced person to somehow salvage what was left of my child's hair, and cut it into something that looked at least like a normal haircut. We knew it would mean having to cut all the gorgeous locks off that took over a year to grow, but seriously, there was no other way. Still, Tracy was able to transform a nightmare into a dream, and while the long hair was gone, the end result was a very smart style that will grow out well. It is quite attractive, and while my child was still inconsolable over losing all that hair, what a life saver Tracy was, and I can only imagine how gorgeous my child's hair will be as we continue to see her to shape it while it grows out again. So heart warming to find a kind, empathetic human being l, and what incredible luck we had in finding her. Thank you Tracy!

As someone with black box dye, many salons turned me away but not Jennifer. She was so excited to jump into this journey with me. She was so knowledgeable and has a passion for her craft.
