I have gone to Essentials for a few massages and my favorite masseuse is Christina. I recently decided to try something new and attended a complimentary SkinCeuticals anti-aging and NARS make-up application event here. The event would have been perfect if they had not been so booked with appointments for high-school girls' hair and make-up applications for a winter formal dance, and they seemed understaffed for the amount of clients that showed up for the event. It was disappointing that there was some confusion about what time my appointment started and then when I had them reschedule it, I still had to wait over an hour for the services I requested. After I had the skin consulation, which went really well, I had my make-up applied, which was not as impressive as I had hoped. I say definitely go to Essentials for a massage, but be picky about who does your hair and make-up here. It is a very beautifully decorated spa and they offer quite a lot of services.
