Reviews for Aesthetic Treatments Services in Charlotte, NC
"Kristian (the permanent makeup artist) is awesome!! She has done both microblading and shading to my eyebrows for years now, and she just completed my eyeliner permanent makeup. Both my brows and eyeliner look great! I couldn’t be happier!!"
"Megan is amazing and facials with her are always worth it. I've done hydrafacials, dermaplaning, and regular facials with her. My skin looks so good after and I feel so comfortable during. Def go to her!"
"Love this place. I love the staff and the honestly it’s the best facial and skincare I’ve recieved in Charlotte. I love have they don’t try to over sell you either. They really care about your services and what you really need. Also they have the best lasers in Charlotte hands down."
"I have been coming to Essential Aesthetics for a year now. I moved to Charlotte from New Orleans and I was very hesitant about trying a new laser spa. My consultation with Lori was amazing. She made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions. As an African American woman a lot of laser places don’t cater to my skin type. Essential Aesthetics definitely does! For 20 plus years I have suffered with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), therefore I have a lot of scar tissue and ingrown hairs. Since starting my laser journey my I don’t get ingrown hairs anymore. My laser technician Faith is spectacular!!! She is so genuine and passionate about what she does. If I have questions or concerns she has no problem answering them. She gives her honest opinion on what services I truly need. Thank you Faith! I can’t wait to get my first chemical peel next week. The front desk staff are extremely friendly and very welcoming. I would highly recommend because Essential Aesthetics!"
"Ashley was amazing! I felt so relaxed during my facial and my skin looks great! I can’t wait for another one"
"I had a facial with Ashley and she made it so enjoyable and left with my skin glowing so definitely coming back to see her and look at some other options!"
"Essential Aesthetics better known as the “million dollar med spa” has been a life changing experience! I am a black woman who suffers from hirsutism therefore I am very hairy! I’ve had my underarms, Brazilian, legs, and lower face lasered and my results have been top-tier. Did I mention that I don’t get ingrown hairs anymore?! I also had a chemical peel, which yielded great results. All of the estheticians have been lovely, but Joy has been my favorite. As a fellow black woman she had educated me on different products and services that can help melanated skin. I will continue coming to Essential Aesthetics!"
"Megan is amazing! I loved the way she did my facial. My face was radiant at the end of the appointment. Megan was also very patient in answering my questions about products. Thank you, Megan! I can't wait for the next facial!"
"I had my first chemical peel with Phylicia, LE and I absolutely enjoyed her and my experience. She is knowledgeable, kind, and more than willing to answer any questions. I think she asked me about 5 times did I have any questions .. lol!! And I appreciate that! She wants to make sure you know what you want to know and need to know. I’ve already booked y next appointment with her. I am excited about my healthier ’brown skinned girl’ skin journey with Phylicia, LE."

"Loved my luxury facial here at The Million Dollar spa . Where the world of beauty meets advanced Laser technology. Skin rejuvenation is their specialty. This facility was featured and seen on Keeping up with the Kardashians. They have over one million dollars worth of Laser equipment here hence the reason they are Refered to by the Million Dollar Laser Spa. Joy provided the luxury facial along with the Gua Sha technique on my face, neck & under eye area. I don't know if it's just me but I swore the puffiness under my eyes were gone once she performed that under my area . So now I am doing that technique at home because it seems to be very effective. I left leaving their spa extra rejuvenated. They have a variety of other services here like fillers and more. I have been flirting with the idea of fillers under my area , they have well trained and certified nurses etc here as well I have seen a lot of their before and afters and the pics are very impressive."
"Grace did an amazing job during my facial! She explained what she was doing and why she was doing it. I booked my next appointment before I left I was so happy. I can’t wait for the next one!"
"I love this team so much! I’ve had the hydraluxx facial with Grace, the Gua Sha facial with Joy, and my brows and lips done by Kyra & Kristian. I absolutely love allllllll the services. The ladies all have great energy and make you very comfortable! I love my experience so much I recorded it for YouTube (type in IyeshaDamali)! Ladies if you’re even thinking about it just do it! You won’t regret it."

"Lori and her whole staff are amazing! I will never get a facial anywhere else!"
"Gracie and the entire staff was very warm the minute I walked through the door. They offer all kinds of services. I had a chemical peel done and so far extremely happy. I already scheduled my next apt. The best results are seen by doing multiple treatments. Much more affordable than what I had found via research, and it was medical grade. Gracie was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to be with. Can’t wait to go back"

"Lori is the best! Prices are great. Results of my laser photo facial have been promising- after 2 visits. Lori goes above and beyond what any other aesthetician I've met. She is caring and knowledgeable. If I could give another star, I would. :)"
"I haven't had a facial since I moved to Charlotte, so I did a quick Yelp search and Lori at Essentials came up quickly and was very highly rated. Let me tell you, this was 100% accurate! Lori had a personal touch, and even called me on my cell to confirm the appt. and answer any questions I had before.The office is in the Blakeney area and is clean and professional, but also relaxing. It's comforting to know Lori is licensed, and she's genuine and honest. She helped me with a "game plan" for my skin in the future as I turn 30 in two weeks. She gave me advice on product, cleaning techniques and how to fix my "problem" areas (blemish and scarring) I had the anti-aging facial with the microdermabrasion. It felt GREAT!! Very pleasant, and my skin was glowing afterward! I trusted Lori completely.Lori feels like a friend after you leave, she even gave me a free Image serum! Talk about not being pressured to buy product :) and she offers $50 first time facials. Great for a gift for mom or a friend! I even booked another appt. in two weeks for a laser treatment. I would recommend Lori to anyone. Professional, friendly, no pressure on product, and genuinely cares about your skin and helping you look the best. Book an appointment now, you won't be disappointed!"

"Lori is absolutely Amazing!!! I just moved to Charlotte a week ago and she made me feel like we were best friends just catching up. She is sweet, knowledgeable and professional all at the same time. My face feels hydrated, smooth and healthy after my facial and my eyebrows look great after my brow wax. I'm so happy I found her and look forward to many more appointments! Give her a try, you won't regret it!!!!"
