About

Essence Beauty Salon began in 2011 inside Plaza México and later expanded to Avándaro in 2014. It opened its East Lake Street location on November 1, 2018. The salon was founded by Claudia, and it describes itself as a family business built on trust and resilience, with nine employees.

The stated mission is to leave every client feeling confident, seen, and cared for. The salon describes its space as warm, welcoming, and supportive, and it offers bilingual service for clients.

Hair is the core of the menu. Haircuts, single-process color through to creative color blends, soft or bold highlights, and several types of extensions matched to hair texture and the length a client wants are all offered. Straightening can be done as a flat iron finish or as a longer-lasting treatment. Hairstyles and hair-dos cover weddings, proms, parties, photoshoots, and everyday styling, and are tailored to each client's personality, hair type, and lifestyle.

Beyond hair, the salon offers eyebrow lamination, which straightens brow hairs and can be paired with a brow tint, and eyelash extensions in natural or dramatic styles. Makeup is available for daytime, evening, and camera-ready event looks. Manicures and pedicures cover classic finishes, gel options, and custom nail art, and facials are adjusted to skin type and goals, including deep cleansing, anti-aging, and brightening.
