Hannah is the absolute BOMB! She is always so gentle, attentive, and thorough when I get my facials. I feel like a new and improved person after every single one of her sessions, which I never want to end! I highly, highly recommend checking out both Essentials and Hannnah for your facial needs!

I just had a wonderful day of beauty at Essentials Day Spa. Tammy was my aesthetician for facial, Staci gave me a marvelous sugar scrub/massage, and my nail tech for the pedicure gave me a very careful and safe pedicure. I left "a new woman!" It's not fancy. It's in an old house in downtown Denton. I'm an old Dentonite, so it totally worked for me. The vibe is quiet and calm and everyone is friendly. Also, very affordable. I had a suite of services that cost me $305 plus 20% tip. I'd do it all over again. And I will.

I had the Heavenly package with Staci and it was beyond heavenly! Staci did an amazing job of getting me to relax (which isn't easy!) - the entire experience was absolutely amazing. I'll definitely be back and will recommend anyone else to go as well. Thank you so much!
