Katie has been doing my cuts and color, dip manicures, pedicures, and facials since salons opened back up after quarantine…the cleanliness and professionalism really kept me coming back. I needed to feel safe and pampered and beautiful…Katie checked off all 3 every time. Call immediately to book with her you won’t be disappointed! Itzel does my lash extension which I don’t think I will ever be able to give up! You WANT to go here!
Emily is phenomenal, and I cant recommend her enough. So much so that Ive converted at least two friends from other stylists. Shes knowledgeable and always sets realistic expectations. As a bonus, she is a wonderful person to spend an hour with. You will walk away with fantastic hair and a refreshed soul. Schedule today!
I’ve had multiple services done with Katie Domme; manicures, pedicures, and facials. She’s professional, personable, and has done a great job with every service. The salon is very nice, clean, and inviting. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new salon.
This is a wonderful salon. I have all my pedicures done here and the polish lasts easily for 3 weeks or more. Clean, on time, and professional staff who know what they are doing. Go here!!
Facial was good over all, I liked cleanliness and well maintained staff. But they charged me for full hour facial even though she just spent almost 30 mins. I would recommend to just get 30 min facial.
Emily is my hair stylist at Essential! She does an amazing job Everytime. Its always so relaxing each time I come. The hnd hand massage are always a plus! Amazing service every time.
Katie is amazing! Ive had different services done with her and she always does a great job! Definitely recommend her!
HIGHLY recommend Essentia Salon & Spa for all of your hair care + nail + facial needs. They make it so easy to set an appointment (messaging on Facebook!), and Im always greeted with a smile. The salon is always clean and well maintained. Emily is the best when it comes to cut and color! I am SO picky and she always kills it with the color/style I ask for. I recently had my second facial and it was AMAZING. My skin felt so great after. The atmosphere is always positive and happy which makes for a great overall experience -- especially if youre there for awhile. I couldnt recommend Essentia more!
Took my granddaughter with me too get a mani, pedi & everyone was so nice, & their work was wonderful. We definitely will be back, we loved our experience here
There isnt another salon in town that accepts last minute appointments....Not to mention... at 6pm to!Stylist did a fantastic job. Thanks guys!
Had a great experience! Definitely will be back. Kayla did an amazing job. Very happy customer
Everyone is super polite and they remembered my name after just two visits. Emily is the best! 💕
I highly recommend this salon. Everyone is professional and responsive to the client’s needs. I love how Emily cuts and styles my hair. She knows what works best for my hair quality and face shape. She gives a wonderful pedicure. Katie cares for the health of my nails and hands beyond just putting on a nice coat of paint. Everyone makes me feel pampered and valued, but beyond that they are great people with an obviously strong team spirit. I always leave feeling fresh and happy!!
Emily Mills is a miracle worker! I followed Emily to Essentia from a different salon, and from the get-go I have been beyond impressed with how they do business. The salon has a chic style and their stylists know what they are doing. I always look forward to my appointments! Highly recommend!
I had a mishap with my hair but the owner was very nice and wanted to help, very good people to be in company with! I love my hair and I’m thankful for all that helped
Katie Domme did an amazing job on my balayage and root touch up! She answered all my questions, made sure I was comfortable along the way, and helped me pick the right color. Also, I only get my eyebrows waxed from her now because she does the best out of everyone else I’ve gone to. I highly recommend her!
They did an OK job on my nieces hair, but we will not be going there againTo pricey for quality of care and service, have received better service at smart style.
I guess great just passing thru.
The salon was clean and they pamper you! I went in for a cut and color and was given complimentary head/scalp massage and hand massage! Emily did a fantastic job and gave me just what I wanted!
I got a deep tissue massage with Martha today. It was absolutely the best massage I have had. I get them weekly all around the US and she put so much care and work into helping my pain go away. She knows her stuff because she found exactly where my pain was coming from and her technique was very effective. The private room was relaxing and the table was heated! It was a good price for an hour and the staff was also so friendly and welcoming. I highly suggest this business!
Best place I have ever gotten a cut. Will be the place Ill go from now on.
Just had a massage with Rachel and it was great! She was willing to put as much or as little pressure as I needed and I had several scented lotions to choose from. I added cupping to my massage which was a fun touch.
They were great with my 7yr old and when I called them the next day for a touch-up, they had no problem getting in and fixed up.
Emily at Essentia is amazing!! She is the sweetest and does a great job on my crazy hair! The entire staff is very welcoming. I have, and will continue to recommend them!!
Yall. I moved here from South Carolina 10 years ago. I have searched high and low for a salon and stylist who could cut my naturally curly hair (that I straighten daily), and brighten up my natural Red Hair. (Those who tell you Redheads dont go gray LIE. My 48 year old locks beg to differ!) Paige is a master stylist, a sweetheart, and a professional. I left the salon feeling gorgeous and at peace. I FINALLY found my place!Every single person I encountered in the salon were kind and professional. There are so many services provided, one could spend an entire day pampering themselves or a loved one. Do yourself a favor, and GO TO THIS WONDERFUL SALON! I will be from now on!
After stressing over how to handle an unfortunate haircut, I booked my first appointment at Essentia Salon & Spa where I met Monica! I explained my concerns about the current cut and showed her a couple pictures of previous successful cuts. Monica took the time to listen and gave me the cut I was hoping for – thank you so much, Monica! The perks – scalp massage, hand and arm massage – that go along with getting a haircut are pretty incredible as well. They have the most comfortable rinse bowls I’ve ever experienced! Overall, the appointment exceeded my expectations!
I recently found this salon because my hair guru, Emily Mills, joined the facility. It is aesthetically pleasing with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I’ve been to too many other local salons and this one is hands down my favorite (it feels like a straight up spa)! I’d highly recommend Emily and the salon for any beauty needs. I’m always counting down the days until my next appointment comes.Jenna Watson
The best place I have ever gone to! The facials are amazing. My hair looks fantastic. I have a girls day today with my sons girlfriend and were going to get out toes done! Amazing people and great services. Worth the money!
I love this place and Emily. She amazing at what she does!!
Haley did an amazing job. I love my new cut and my bangs!!! This was my first visit to this salon and I will definitely be back!! The entire staff is friendly, and this place offers you so much at such a great price.
Such a relaxing experience
Got a full highlight from Alayna today and she is my new go to stylist! She did amazing, was efficient and informative! Also so sweet!! The staff were all super nice! They run things really smoothly and make you feel at home! Will be returning every time I need my hair professionally done, and will refer to friends. Thank you guys!
I have gone to both Emily and Paige and both did a great job! I have stubborn greys and the formula developed for me covered them all. Emily also did a really nice cut, which was so needed for my very long hair. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a cut and colour in the Topeka area!
Love it!! Just got the best haircut Ive ever had from Katie. Very friendly service. Everything I have ever wanted from a salon experience. Thank you ladies ~
Just had a half hour massage with Martha today. Great hands! She took the time to talk with me about my concerns and gave an awesome massage based off our talk. Professional, clean, and inviting full service salon. I will definitely be back!
I went here the other day for a 60 minute massage with Amanda! My process was great from start to finish and every employee was extremely nice and professional. Not only was the salon very relaxing, the massage was one of the best I’ve had in a long time! Would definitely recommend!
I was a bit nervous, never having been to a spa for anything other than the occasional mani or pedi. I had some waxing and a facial. It was great. Heather was wonderful, took time to talk about everything, the purpose of the face products. She was kind and very personable, putting me completely at ease.
Very professional, but yet very comfortable, warm friendly atmosphere. Have had 2 different stylist, both are talented and did a great job!
Absolutely wonderful! They are all very friendly and if you ask for their honest option they let you know - in the up most respectful and informative way. They truly care about you & your experience. Go see them!!
Ive had my hair colored twice now by Paige she does a terrific job. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. Great customer service.
Haley did an amazing job on my nails and gave me exactly what I wanted. On top of that they use this hand scrub that make your hands SUPER soft. Awesome staff all around, will be returning!
I love this place! I go to Erica for pedis and brow threading. Always have always will! She is hands down the best. The salon is EXTREMELY clean which is always a huge plus in my book and every single employee here is super friendly.
Great experience! Very modern and stylish space. I have been seeing Martha for years now. And she is nothing less than amazing! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!
Great place to go. The Stylist are great. My wife and I both go there.
Paige made me look like a dang goddess. She knew exactly what I needed to look like. My hair is the envy of all who pass me.Martha is a great massage therapist. She worked out everywhere and made me walk like the queen I am.Great place, great people, go try
Hands down the best massage Ive ever had! Martha was able to find exactly where my trouble areas were. Cant wait for my next massage! Highly recommend checking this place out.
Essentia is a brand new, beautiful, serene place to pamper yourself and relax. I got an hour long massage from Martha. This gal IS THE BEST!!!! I like to call her Dr. Martha. She has helped me and my husband with chronic pain and stress that nothing else seemed to help. This girl knows her stuff and loves helping people feel better. ❤ Im so thankful for Martha and Essentia Salon!
I went in for a massage and wax. Martha and Gwen are really nice and good about making sure you’re happy about the service you’re getting. I definitely recommend Martha is you need a very relaxing deep tissue massage. I felt my choice in going here was worth every penny!
A friend recommended Martha at Essentia for a deep tissue massage. She helped me work out a knot in my back that was causing issues in my shoulder, ear, and jaw. It was an INTENSE massage, but I feel sooooo much better!!! Martha is an amazing masseuse and I HIGHLY recommend getting in to see her for even the most stubborn of knots.
Love this salon!! Literally the only one i go to since haley does such an amazing job on every service! Love the environment love the prices love everything about it! Definitely recommend it to anyone!!
I love this place! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxing . The best part is how Alayna did wonders with my hair! I still cant believe how beautiful it is!! Thank you!!!!
The staff was very friendly and welcoming! Alayna was very helpful with choosing my hair color. She wanted to make sure I would be happy with it.
Very special place. I know the owner. I go the about once a month for a massage. It is very relaxed. Perfectly done. This masseuse knows her stuff. She will give light medium or firm. Head to toe. I like switching up the type of massages depending on how tight my body is. Its worth the visit. Enjoy.
Essentia will forever be my go-to Salon/Spa. The whole staff is wonderful: friendly and super helpful. For a long time I was box-coloring my hair (I know), and Alayna was a major help to me. She helped restore my natural color and spent extra time going over hair care products and tips with me.Walking in, knowing nothing, and afraid of judgement, Im glad I chose this place. My only regret was my initial anxiety. Atmosphere and cost-wise, Id suggest this place to anyone.If youre looking to try massage therapy, Martha and Amanda are incredible! My boyfriend and I recently went in for a couples massage, and we both left feeling better than we have in years. They are both so knowledgeable and friendly. These two ladys can fix any problem youre having. Dont hesitate to give this place a try!
Awesome place!!! Nice environment and great staff. I go to Paige for waxing. She is down to earth, fast and friendly. Love this place.
Martha is the best massage therapist I have ever seen! All of the girls are friendly and welcoming. The prices are reasonable and their work definitely shows their talents & skills!
I get my massages from Amanda because she asks what you need and is willing to offer suggestions on where to concentrate. Shes always right!Best place to go to be pampered.
Very friendly and reasonable prices. The young lady(I dont remember names very well), made sure I liked my nail color and even started over when we realized it wasnt a pleasing color on my skin tone. Even though my visit was close to closing time she did not rush and made sure I was happy. Thank you!
This place is amazing. Everyone is so nice and the rinse bowls are the most comfortable I have ever sat in. The service is above and beyond.
Linda is my stylist, and she does an absolutely amazing job! I highly recommend her for eyelash extensions and any other beauty needs.
Linda was amazing! She is very nice, funny and caring about your hair! She is very commited to making you a happy customer! Will be back for sure!
Love this place❤️
Emily is amazing and does the best all over highlights! I come to Topeka from Olathe to see her! And the Aveda products are just the best!! Love and definitely recommend!
I came in right when they opened hoping they could squeeze me in after another salon ruined my haircut the previous day and they were so nice and friendly they did help me with getting it repaired and giving me recommendations for a hairstyle that would hide the mistake that the other salon made and even scheduled me for another appointment to get my hair dyed they were so nice and friendly I will definitely be returning for my color and to get my hair styled for a special eventCame back and got my hair dyed and Aleyna did an amazing job and managed to save me money to make me look amazing I definitely will return
Paige and Martha were both amazing! I loved my cut/color, mani/pedi, and eyebrow wax by Paige. My massage with Martha was wonderful. The staff were all so friendly and made the experience both relaxing and fun. I am already looking forward to my next appointment!
In a word? MAGICAL! Marthas massage was just what the doctor ordered and Gwens facial was so relaxing! What a gem of a salon!
I went here for a trim and a mani/pedi. Haley did an amazing job and I felt very pampered when I left. The best part were the prices. This salon is very affordable. Ill be back for sure!
If you want to look and feel like a Queen, this is the place to go. Very friendly staff. Thank you Heather for the amazing hair transformation.
I ruined my hair with a box dye and alayna saved the day by fixing it for me last minute! Wonderful staff and the salon is just super cute and modern. I will be back!
I got an hour and half massage with Martha. This salon is very cute and modern. The staff was very welcoming. I like that each part of the salon was broken up into sections, that to me seemed to provide privacy while getting a massage, mani or pedi. They have a couples massage room along with single massage rooms. Martha is amazing. Ive been going to her for years and when Im having horrible lower back, shoulder/neck, and my sciatic pain, shes the only thing that helps my pain and when Im really bad, after a few sessions, pain free! I definitely recommend this salon and Martha!!
Massage, hair, nails! Layne was super sweet and helpful. Place is clean and bright. Service is recent. Spa pedis available.
Working with Paige was such a blast! She was so nice and worked with what I wanted/needed.
If you are looking for an intimate place with great conversation from stylists then look no further than here! They make you feel comfortable and at ease.
This Salon is the full package and at great prices! Alayna Henzler has been my hair stylist and she does such an amazing job! The second session we had, I wanted my hair silver because it was the new trend and she did exactly what I wanted, our last session I wanted to keep the light blonde but with dark streaks and she made it come together and blend so beautifully! She has a very great personality and easy to talk to and listens to what you want. She also does some amazing shellac nails to top it off! I recommend Essentia for all your needs from hair to massage and nail care and more! Beautiful salon, with a lot of talent love it!
Emily always does an amazing job no matter what I ask for!
Very impressed! Nails, hair & message all in one well designed space!
Great staff and always feel like Im bring treated special
Alayna did my hair and what can I say I love it sooo much and she took her time with it and I 100% recommend Alayna 💕
Excellent service! I loved it!
Martha was amazing on my massage
Katie is great!
