"They were so lovely they took their time to make sure I felt comfortable and ensured to thoroughly explain everything! My nose piercing site was swollen and they helped to place one stud to help with the healing. Thank you so much x 100% would recommend"

"Makenna is warm, personable and great at what she does. She pierced my belly on the weekend and made the whole experience both exciting, while calming my nerves at the same time. She talked me through everything and pierced my belly with ease, way less pain than I expected which I imagine is due to her skill! I was in and out of there in no time and was absolutely stoked with my piercing, so thank you!!"

"I understand that prices are increasing everywhere, but $52 for a brow and lip wax is just way too steep for anybody. It takes no longer than 10 minutes usually when I get mine done. That’s how you LOSE business, by charging too much. I felt horrible turning away but I don’t see the value in that at all, just for it to grow back again in two weeks time to spend another $52. I ended up going somewhere else and paid $28 for the same service. I’ve always loved going to essential beauty and most times I’ve had nothing but a relaxing, professional experience with the results I’ve wanted but sadly I cannot return due to these prices. When you decrease them I will return."

"Went to get some ear piercings for my daughter. Felt like I was rushed through the whole process a bit and the holes ended up quite uneven. When I asked for the dot to be placed a little lower it was drawn way too low which looked way off. Ended up just going with the original placement which I wasn’t so happy with either. In hindsight I should have been more assertive about trying to get the placement right but honestly I felt there wasn’t much customer service going on. Wasn’t like an accomodating, friendly vibe overall so was a bit taken back by it. (One of the comments for example was that it would look a bit different with the earring in but it didn’t. It looked exactly the same in placement as the dot.) I think if I were to do it again I would be able to handle everything better. They can do good piercings just make sure even if it takes some time to be 100 percent happy with the placement. From the booking times available they have like 5 minute slots so maybe that’s why it all feels a bit rushed. Something to note is that the price is higher than on the website because they only use the needle method and don’t have the gun method. Edit: second experience 2 months later was better. Pricing discrepancy updated however depending on which earnings you choose price can be higher. Would recommend Julia."

"I’ve always been nervous and self conscious about having waxing done because I have sensitive skin. The girls at essential beauty made me feel incredibly comfortable and gave me great advice. The girls have created such a professional and non-judgmental environment. Very affordable too. Would definitely recommend."
