Essentia Salon & Spa, An Aveda Exclusive Salon

Every time I leave after my 1 hour facial, my skin feels hydrated, radiant, and rejuvenated. My face is actually glowing. I can't say enough about the calming atmosphere and expert care Ricki takes in making the pampering experience deeply relaxing. And I'm not a person who relaxes easily. Ricki is incredibly knowledgeable, pays close attention to your specific skin type and what products work best for you, and very personable. We talk about what's going on in our lives and it's just simply great. If you are looking for a new esthetician or looking for a good place to go for your first facial experience, book with Ricki. I promise you will not be disappointed!

So easy to.make an appointment online no matter what service. Always walk out feeling brand new an loving whatever I've had done! Jen has done my hair and I've loved it every time. Melissa did my daughter's hair (and has given her a perm) and it was great!

Ricki is absolutely incredible! She gave me an amazing massage the perfect mix of relaxation and pressure, and she checked in to make sure I was comfortable the whole time. I also got my eyebrows waxed for the first time, and she made the experience so easy and comfortable. My brows have never looked this good! Ricki is professional, kind, and truly talented. Not only that but she’s basically a therapist to talk to if needed. She helped me through a lot 100000000/10 I’ll definitely be back!

If you are looking for an esthetician, Ricki is amazing at what she does — super professional, kind, and makes you feel totally comfortable. The overall atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. I always leave feeling great and completely trust her work. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only skilled but also genuinely cares about her clients, I highly recommend her!
