"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!!"
"I was cured of HSV with the use of natural herbs. I love herbs so much. Most times, injections and drugs are just a waste of time. I suffered from HSV for 1yrs but with the help of Dr. Oyagu herbal medicine, I was cured within a Two weeks of drinking the herbs he sent to me through UPS courier delivery service. Have you taken herbs before?. You have spent so much money on drugs, injections, surgeries etc. and yet you have no good result to show for it. Contact Dr. Oyagu now, he is a herbalist doctor, I assure you of a cure if you drink his natural herbs. Dr. Oyagu has herbs that cure Hiv, Herpes, diabetes, asthma, hepatitis, HBP, STD, cancer, chronic, etc. Contact Dr. Oyagu through his Email address on: [email protected] or WHATSAP/CALL him on +2348101755322"

"Megan is amazing! I have explained my skincare goals and concerns to her and she has helped guide me the last year on what services are best for my skin. I am now 34 and my skin has never looked better! Thank you Megan!"
"I had a prenatal massage with Sabbath and it was amazing! She was very knowledgeable on the positions and places she was able to massage me while being pregnant. It was very relaxing and every momma-to-be needs this!! I want one every week leading up to my due date! Highly recommend!"
"Great service and awesome experience"
"First and foremost, I have been searching for a pain-free laser for over 3 years now. I came across Essentials Aesthetics and Laser & the laser specialist Ashley- educated me so much on the entire process and made it beyond comfortable and quick for me. I absolutely LOVED her. She is BEYOND knowledgeable, very clean, and such a pleasure to be around. When I tell you this was the BEST experience.. I could go on and on, but let me tell you. After just one session, I already noticed an INSANE change in my hair growth. My target areas were my underarms and Brazilian- and I can already see a MAJOR difference. I’m so happy I found Ashley I truly wish I could go in for a laser treatment every week… that’s how GREAT is was. They have the best laser machine. If you’re looking for legitimate results, and don’t want to waste your money, please do yourself a favor and book your appointment with Ashley. You. Will. Not. Regret. It. Thankyou for making my life so much easier <3"
"Facial today was wonderful as always. Nothing but the BEST from this salon. 100% recommend!!"
"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!"
"I’ve been coming here and seeing Grace for almost two years now and she has been monumental in the betterment of my skin. Not only is she super warm and a joy to be around, she also takes the time to thoroughly explain each step of the treatment we’re doing that day and going through aftercare/recommendations with me. I have complete trust in her and look forward to every appointment 💖"
"Fantastic Place! I’ve gotten two small tattoos removed here and you can hardly notice they were even there ! Tattoo removal is tough but they are very kind and compassionate ! Highly reccomend!"
"Ashley was amazing! I felt so relaxed during my facial and my skin looks great! I can’t wait for another one"
"Essential aesthetics & their team have been amazing! Getting married in the spring & the owner put together the perfect treatment program specialized to my skin/needs. The treatments have been wonderful. Highly recommend."
"I absolutely love coming here! This place has saved my face. I usually see Faith and highly recommend her, but the entire staff is so friendly and super helpful."
"Amazing Consult with Lori!! I loved the warm family feeling and the way that she talked to me and worked out a plan to get my skin back to its healthiest!! I also saw Jayni about a Botox consult and I have to say she’s so knowledgeable and explained everything I needed to know! So thankful I found Essential Aesthetics and Laser!"
"Absolutely love EAL!! I have been coming here for over a year now and always leave happy. I have been seeing Jaynie for lip filler and Botox, and she has made every appointment a breeze. She is so comforting and personable, while very professional and knowledgeable! I feel comfortable asking her questions and getting her opinion on services because she is very genuine and passionate about what she does. Jaynie has truly made this process for me easy. I would highly recommend checking this place out because the staff is wonderful and so very helpful as well!"
"This place is special in all the ways! I have been going to Essential Aesthetics and Laser for a couple of years now and have had several treatments here- including the 3 for Me (laser), Botox, and filler. The vibe is very warm and welcoming and the staff is second to none- all are friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and always seem happy to see you. I go most often for my Botox/filler maintenance and Jayni is my go-to aesthetician. She is AH-MAZINGGG! With her extensive nursing background, she has a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology, which I feel is important, and sets her apart from other injectors. She seems to have a natural ability to work all the magic where science meets art, and it’s obvious that she is passionate about her work. I appreciate that she takes time each session to check in, review, and discuss goals, as well as give honest feedback and suggestions. If it isn’t obvious at this point- 10/10!"
"Great staff and great results!! Highly recommend!"
"My experience with Essential is top notch - My face has improved tremendously after a treatment. Gracie and Lori are skincare angels, Kristian’s brow work is a form of art!"
"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!"
"Sabbath is amazing!! She makes me feel so comfortable!"
"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!"
"Great staff, prices, and business. Professional and trustworthy."
"Went to Essential Aesthetics and Laser and had laser resurfacing done. I see the biggest change in laxity and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The staff are wonderful and they bring a smile to my face every time I step into the building. I am so happy! I will continue to do different services with these lovely ladies."

"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."

They are all flexible, attentive, and understanding. They truly learn about medical background and concerns and modify the facials accordingly. My tech Faith, makes note of each change to my health, meds, or conditions and alters our course of action as things change. It is overall a wonderful, inclusive, relaxing experience each time I go in. From the the receptionists to the owner, everyone is amazing and the treatments are amazing!"

"This was my third visit with Kristian for my permanent eyebrows, she is the best! My brows look beautiful and natural. She also applied liner on this visit, the result was subtle and natural for my 61 years of age. Kristian really has a talent for choosing the right color and shape to enhance your face. She has also perfected her numbing process and there was minimal pain for me on brows, a little more discomfort on liner. Thank You Kristian."

"Best place to get tattoo removal! I was getting tattoo removal in New York and was searching for a new place since moving. No place met my expectations or had the laser I had been using. I tried this place after a Google search and I’ve been very happy with my treatments. I found them to be affordable and just good people. My treatments have been working and they listen to how I want my treatments done. I’ll try their other services in the future."

She’s very warm and welcoming. My brows are awesome. I can not wait to schedule my touch up and see the final result. Please read all the instructions given to you. So you’re not panicked thinking the whole process was a waste."

"I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lori and her team! They are all so personable and make you feel right at home. They don’t try to push products on you and actually listen to what you are saying! So excited for their journey In the new space... it’s just stunning!"
"I started going to Essential Aesthetics for almost a year now. Purchased a package for resurfacing, due to scaring an large pores etc.. I was skeptical at first not knowing what to expect an wanting to see immediate results as I thought. However the process is a few sessions depending on the scar depth etc.After my first treatment my skin felt so amazing an the skin tone evened out a little more which I was surprised. The staff is so friendly an amazing!! Lori has a heart of gold an wants the VERY BEST for her clients as well as the other staff members. Lori is very inviting an tells you what’s happening through out the process of what ever procedure you are doing. After my membership package I will be doing the lip plumper session 🙂. This place has all of your skin care needs you could think of!! I highly recommend them as they will treat you like family!! Keep up the great work guys!!"
"I was given the most wonderful, and relaxing facial by Lori! The entire experience was lovely and I felt welcomed from beginning-to-end. Lori cares so delicately for each individual she sees — I informed her of how sensitive my skin was, and she only used products that would nourish and hydrate; rather than harm. I’ve already scheduled my next facial and cannot wait to be back. Essential Aesthetics and Laser is the best. ♥️"
"I would highly recommend Heather for your tattoo removal. She is very professional and makes the process as simple as possible. The cost of the removal process is very affordable, well worth the investment if you have a tattoo that you are no longer happy with."
"Friendly atmosphere. Lori is very educated in what she does. She’s also honest. Lori has hi-tech equipment to ensure patients receive quality service and results. She’s performing tattoo removal service for me on my chest/breast area. We estimate about 10 sessions-maybe more or less. As of 11/24 I have had 2 treatments and I already see it fading. 12/8/20 was my 3rd treatment-this was more intense -1st week it blistered 2nd week it scabbed 3rd week it was healed. I use to be able to see the name that was under my coverup tattoo and now I can’t. Stay tuned for more updates through my journey. My sessions are spaced 6-8 weeks apart."
"I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lori and her team! They are all so personable and make you feel right at home. They don’t try to push products on you and actually listen to what you are saying! So excited for their journey In the new space... it’s just stunning!"
"I had a consult today which turned into laser treatment for tattoo removal. I have had 3 sessions done at other locations and Essential is by far the best experience. Grace was great in providing me the information on the treatment and Lori did an amazing job with the laser removal. Very professional, polite and friendly staff and I am confident I will get the results I expect."
"Grace is wonderful and so professional. She really goes the extra mile to give amazing care. So thankful to have found Essential Aesthetics and Laser! They have brand new, top-notch lasers that have already given great results fading scars after just 2 appointments. Reanna is also so helpful; she makes scheduling a breeze. 5 stars highly recommend!"

I am seeing results that have truly changed my skin and overall confidence and cannot thank her enough!"

"Gracie did an amazing job on my skin. I had the hyrdrolux facial and it was fabulous, leaving my skin with a glow. I also had 3 treatments of the laser vein removal treatment and the results are amazing. I have had wonderful results with chemical peels as well. I highly recommend Essential Aesthetics and Laser for all you skin care services. I use all the image products they recommend with great results."
"I love coming here! The staff is always so friendly and does such a thorough job. The best in town!"
"I have nothing but great things to say about Essential Aesthetics. I just finished my 4th laser treatment for tattoo removal. The results are unbelievable! Kiera and Grace are amazing! They are always there to answer my silly questions and very easy to get in for an appointment! Highly recommend!"
"We feel very lucky to have found Lori. She is genuine, professional and kind. It is obvious that she wants success for her patients and truly cares about their outcome. I would highly recommend her!!!"
"Love working with Kyra! She has been very patient and explains everything about lasers and how they work. I like that she knows what she is doing and works at helping me achieve a natural look, just younger."
"Lori and her whole staff are amazing! I will never get a facial anywhere else!"

"Kyra is super sweet!"
"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"

"Essential Aesthetics and Laser is such a warm and welcoming place! Every time I have a facial, I always leave happy and relaxed. It is the best facial I have had in Charlotte and they offer an amazing line of skincare! Would 100% recommend to everyone in Charlotte!"
"Lori and Grace are amazing!! I have problematic skin and feel like they are eager to help get to the root of the problem and improve my habits to better my skin. There are a lot of people in their industry only looking to sell products and treatments- I'm so thankful they are not like that. I never feel pressure to buy products and always leave their office with the ultimate zen!"
"Amazing staff! Everyone is so kind."

"I can't ever begin to tell you what a great experience I had with this company. First of all, I had messes up my schedule, had to cancel and 8am appointment at midnight before, then found out about 7am that I was able to make it after all and Lori, had contacted me on both occasions to accommodate me. Kristian came in to do services for my lips and eyebrows in a moments notice. She explained everything as each step was going on and her attitude was a nice surprise. Not only did I enjoy the customer service part of these services I am super excited to see the final results. The receptionist Reanna is extremely knowledgeable so give them a call and book... you won't be sorry."

"I’ve had two different treatments here and am super happy with both. Everyone is friendly and Lori is amazing. She really goes above and beyond and is awesome at what she does. I will continue going to EA for anything I need in the future. Highly recommend!"

"Such a beautiful and kind staff. Not only is the office pretty when you walk in, but the ladies at the front desk were so welcoming. I was a little nervous because I have never had any hair removal or skin work done. Nerves left as soon as I had my consultation with Lori and Grace. There are no enough words to explain how patient and calming they were with me. Not to mention, very cool personalities. This office is professional as well as friendly. You can tell they care and want you to be happy, not just to make money. If you are reading this, then that means you are trying to find a spot. Check this one out. Also, look at all their staff. Beautiful! What they are doing is working."
"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. :)"

"Lori is without doubt the sweetest, and one of the the best skincare professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She took time out of her own day to see me for a last minute skin emergency before i flew off the NYC for New York Fashion week and made sure my skin looked runway ready. Though I am only 20, I've been battling with my skin for 10 years and have seen TONS of estheticians in the Charlotte area. Lori is hands down one of the best. She's beyond knowledgable and talented, but is really out to HELP you and your skin. I literally cannot rave about her more. She's incredible. Do yourself a favor and book with her! ❤"

"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!"

"I've been a client of Essential Aesthetics for 4 years and have always received exceptional service. My most recent visit was for laser hair removal with Kyra. I cannot say enough about her wonderful personality and superb technique. I felt like I had known her for years. She really made me feel at ease and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I also had my brows waxed after my laser. She's awesome! I'm her forever client."
