Services
Balayage
Our Balayage service offers customized, sun-kissed highlights using freehand techniques to create natural, low-maintenance results. Ideal for clients seeking dimensional color with minimal root regrowth visibility. The process involves applying lightener directly to hair strands for a soft, blended finish that enhances your natural features and complements your skin tone.
Fashion Colours
L'Essence Salon specializes in bold fashion colors using Pulp Riot products, including lilac, velvet, and seaglass tones. These high-impact shades require precise application and color theory knowledge to achieve vibrant, long-lasting results. Our stylists provide expert consultations to help clients choose hues that align with their personal style and maintenance preferences.
Agave Smoothing
The Agave Smoothing Treatment reduces frizz and curls for 12 weeks using formaldehyde-free Carbo-C technology. This keratin-based treatment strengthens hair while improving manageability and shine. Clients receive post-treatment care instructions to maximize longevity and maintain hair health between appointments.
Keratin Treatment
Our Keratin Treatment delivers sleek, straight results lasting up to three months. The protein-rich formula reconstructs hair bonds while smoothing texture and reducing styling time. A consultation is required to assess hair condition and determine suitability for this intensive smoothing service.
Wedding Updos
We create custom wedding updos tailored to each client's gown, facial structure, and personal aesthetic. Services include trial sessions, timeline planning, and on-site styling for wedding parties. Our stylists specialize in long-lasting, camera-ready styles that withstand emotional moments and celebratory dancing.
