This was my first, but definitely not my last time coming to this place of business. Upon entry, Annette was ready to start my hair. The atmosphere is very friendly and I love that it's a no judgment zone. She was very thorough with washing my hair; she takes her time and ensures that you are satisfied every step of the way. She loves to engage in conversation which speaks volumes because you don't wanna be in a dead salon. The end result was nothing short of amazing! And to make things better, she did my hair in half of the time it takes other hair stylists AND better. So for that I am thankful and speak blessings over that establishment.

OMG I am so grateful that I found this absolutely wonderful Salon I would recommend this if I could give it a million stars but unfortunately I can only give you five they took such good care of me and they treated me like I was just one of the girls hanging out for the day and it's wonderful to see a family-run business all working together and Annette and her daughter I didn't want to misspell your daughter's name so that's why I didn't put her name down but her daughter took the time and I had a problem with a huge knot in my hair and she did such an amazing job also even down to them washing my hair was the best Annette's mom took good care of me as well I wanted to make sure I put her in this review I'm sorry I didn't get her name and it was so relaxing and Annette also cut and styled my hair and it looked beautiful I got so many compliments but I'm so grateful to her daughter that the big job cuz that took a while to get that knot out and she worked her magic so thank you so much. I'm going back to try some braids in my hair in the next 2 months and I can't wait like I said I definitely recommend the salon they do more than just braids they like I said took such great care of me that this is going to be my new go to Salon.

My daughter has her senior prom tonight and unfortunately, her hair stylist cancelled on us very last minute. I called several different salons before speaking to Annette at Essential Beauty. She took the time to tell me to breathe and ensure me she would take care of my daughter. She asked me to bring her by and we did, and she sat her down immediately and did a gorgeous style on my girls hair. They not only made us feel comfortable and like we were in good hands, but Annette also did amazing on her hair! I 100% recommend this salon and will be booking all future appointments for all three of my girls with Annette!Service: Hairstyling

I’ve been to Annette several times since finding her salon in 2021. She is professional and very experienced. The shop runs smoothly and service is efficient. Annette is also very lovely and caring; she remembered things about me from each visit and always asked about my family. I usually get a wash & blowout or a silk wrap with a precision cut. I’ve referred friends and family for braids and for twists on my teenage male cousin, and they’ve had excellent service as well. I highly recommend!Services: Hairstyling

This salon is a rare find. They focus on hair health but they’re exceptional at styling as well. I’ve always been more inclined to styling my own hair, but not anymore (the pandemic clarified my limitations). The staff is talented and professional. My hair (natural/color treated) and my daughter’s hair (natural) are thriving under their care. We’re in and out in no time. Generally, we both get our hair blown out and the styles last for weeks. They offer a variety of services. My daughter is always excited to choose her hairstyles. They take excellent care of us.Services: Braids

So glad I found Annette a little over a year ago. She gives the best shampoo EVER! My scalp is clean and my hair is clean. During my 2 weeks, my scalp does not itch! Very clean. She takes very good care of my hair and pays attention to my hair. If you're looking for a hair stylist, I greatly recommend Annette!

I asked that chemical not be put in my hair. The owner bleached my hair against my will. My hair has broken off really bad. My current stylist is treating my hair to straighten it. My bangs used to come past my chin. Now mid my fore head from the breakage. I will NEVER visit this salon again. And Annette, the owner yelled at me when we were discussing what I want / did not want for service that day.Services: Hairstyling

I found the salon this morning and called to schedule a blow out for my daughter. Annette added her to the end of her day (same day appointment). When we walked in, Annette was funny, warm, and welcoming. She’s so down to earth. She took her time, went above and beyond, and did an amazing job. Grateful to have found her and will definitely be returning for years to come.

Absolutely a god send. Put a post on FB & she was recommended. Worked me little girl right on in. Walked in her shop & we realized we went to school together! She was worked her magic on my daughters hair. (Bi-racial & hair not cut right in the past) It looks so healthy. She is our girl now. Her mom was a big help too. Washed & combed her hair & was gentle with it! So glad we found Annette!!Service: Haircut

My first visit to Essential Design Hair Salon was a wonderful one. I very recently relocated to the area and had no clue about a hair stylist. I was drawn here because of the client reviews and the closeness to my home. When I walked in I was made to feel very comfortable and welcomed. The salon is neat, clean and well organized. Annette and her staff are skilled and personable and get the job done quickly and well. There were clients receiving a range of different hair services. I made my next appointment and left very satisfied. My hair is soft, shiny, and full of body. I highly recommend Essential Design Hair Salon!Services: Shampoo & conditioning
