About

Salon Essence opened in Belmont, California in 2022, founded by Melanie Celis. The salon describes its service as individualized and says its stylists are trained across a range of luxury hair care.

Services are grouped into color, cuts, blow dry, balayage, highlights, and bleach and tone, with add-ons such as Kerastase deep conditioning and styling with a flat or curling iron. Balayage and highlight prices depend on hair amount, starting condition, desired lightness, and whether box color is being lifted, so the listed prices are estimates and more hair or more time may add a charge.

Appointments are booked through an online system, and guests can register an account. Clients can ask for a free virtual consultation by email before booking, and bleach and tone always starts with a virtual consultation.

Blow dry is included with most services. A late client may not receive one, and the price stays the same. Changes made less than 48 hours ahead are charged half the service price.

Hair health comes first, and the salon will decline any service that could compromise hair health or strength.
