Amazing hair stylists

by jewiejuice

I had a great experience at New Essense Spa and Salon (which is now know as AZIZ Day Spa under new ownership). I'm new in town, and I was nervous about finding a stylist I could trust to do my hair in the way I like it. Dave Tienda is a fabulous colorist and stylist, and I highly reccomend his services. I have lived in Manhattan and Los Angeles, and I feel that he is more talented and reasonably priced than any other stylist I have worked with. I hope you will give them a try as it is well worth it. I left the salon feeling like a million bucks - just as every woman should feel when she walks out of a salon. Thank you, Dave!!!

Oksana and New Essence: a fabulous European experience!

by savvysearcher

A hidden find in this strip mall location (on Brodie Lane near Bed, Bath, and Beyond), New Essence offers a European experience of expert care and pampering. Having found the New Essence website on citysearch in a desperate search for a same-day cut and color, and happily making that appointment, I decided to get a mini-facial before. What a great combination! The facial was pampering and left me glowing! And Oksana did an amazing job with my hair! I walked in with three fading shades, including a brassy red and I walked out with a very shiny and natural color and a sassy new cut. I was impressed with how quickly and confidently she cut my wavy hair. The color wasn't a quick fix and Oksana really took her time to make sure I was comfortable and that I'd be satisfied with the results. She even stayed late to make sure it was right. I highly recommend Oksana and all the services at this salon. They really care about you making you happy and offer European quality services and the latest natural products (I just noticed them... no one tried to push any on me.) Oksana loves her work and is a true pro!

• Pros: excellent service and expertly-trained salon professionals
• Cons: the lighting could be better

Absolutely the best day spa in town!

by bluehand

I love this place! I received a gift certificate and was extremely happy with my experience. When I arrived I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the whole place and the friendliness of the staff. The mood was perfect for the experience I was about to have. The rooms were private and very comfortable; low lights and soft music. I chose the relaxation package and enjoyed a marvelous day of pampering and absolute pleasure. Not only did I get one of the best massages I've ever had (in the top 2) but I received a delicious facial from a completely professional and very knowledgeable esthetician. She has a magic touch. I was even treated to lunch...mmmmm good! And that's not all, I was given a fantastic haircut, pedicure and manicure. I left floating on air. I will be a regular from now on. I would recommend New Essence to anyone who wants the best services and highest quality care.

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: None
