Essence Salon & Spa is the perfect place to be pampered & relax. The service is always outstanding. I wouldnt dream of going anywhere else for waxing, skincare, and overall beauty needs.

Have just moved to the ACT and as we all know ; finding a beauty therapist in a new place is hard. Natasha was absolutely wonderful and I felt at home right away! I selected this salon as it used the products I'm used to (Ultracueticals....fantastic product!!!!). I've found my therapist and salon!! Can not recommend them enough!!!
