Essence Nails & Day Spa

I make a 30+ minute drive to come here each month because Essence Nails is hands-​down the absolute best nail salon I have been to. Cindy and her team are always so friendly and really get to know all customers. Ally always does my nails EXACTLY how I want them, each and every time. The quality is definitely at the highest level. I am constantly getting compliments about my nails or asked where I got them done and I’m always happy to let them know exactly where to find Essence Nails. I’ve been a loyal customer for over a year and plan on coming back for many more.

Despite the 1 hour wait, I’m in love with my nails and how I was treated. Definitely will be returning without a doubt. Just plan on making an appointment next time.

I called made an appointment and i felt rushed during the whole process. I got sns and the whole process took 20 minutes. The nail tech left glue around my fingers and didn’t take the time to shape my nails correctly. My nails were left with an irregular shape to them. I am so disappointed with this place I expected more after reading such great reviews. I would not recommend this place.

I have gone to this salon several times now and will continue to go. I only had one fill in that was bad from a male employee — I do not know his name. Every other time though I have left very pleased with the results. Will continue to visit this establishment as long as I am in cumming !

I have been going to Cindy for a couple of years now and she is great. She has very high standards for all of the technicians to uphold. The pedicures are to die for. I always get the Sport and wow, is it great. All of the technicians take there time on you. It does not feel like a factory– in and out as fast as they can go. Cindy and her team take there time on you and you walk out looking and feeling fabulous!

This nail salon is amazing! The is probably the best pedicure I’ve ever had and the prices are reasonable. Very professional staff, and heavenly foot and leg massage. These ladies made me and my girls feel like princesses. We will definitely be regulars here.

I have been visiting this spa for about a year now and have yet to have a bad experience. The entire staff is amazing and so sweet. Allie does an amazing job every time. Truly relaxing atmosphere.

I LOVE this place! I have been a customer at Essence for a year or so, but knew (and loved) the owner, Cindy, when she worked at another place. She left there and I was heartbroken, but I found her and will be a client forever! She is absolutely meticulous when doing manicures and pedicures. She takes her time and does not rush, even though they are often very busy. I have terrible nails and cuticles and always leave there looking great. The salon is always very clean and everyone there is friendly. I have never been disappointed by Cindy or any of her staff and have brought several friends to try it.
As for comments about being treated rudely, I have witnessed (on multiple occasions) people showing up late or early for appointments and getting nasty when she couldn’t accommodate them immediately. I see how upset she gets and how she tries very hard to get to everyone as quickly as possible. What’s the point of making an appointment if you don’t honor the time you made it for?! I’ve never once seen anyone there act rudely toward a client – even when they may have deserved it!
I have never used them for services other than nails, but I see many people who do. Overall, the salon and everyone in it is lovely and friendly and the prices are quite reasonable. I would highly recommend to anyone.

I went here today for the first time after seeing good ratings on Unilocal.It was great! The salon is super nice and clean. The staff was wonderful! The main lady (possibly owner) is so sweet and accompanying. They took their time on my manicure and didn’t rush it. My nails look great! I can’t wait to return!

Best salon I’ve ever been to, hands down. The women that work there are so sweet and they do a wonderful job making you feel comfortable. Their prices are very reasonable and the quality of their services make the prices even better. I will never go to another nail salon again! Not even for a quick fill in or pedi. I will only come here!
Also, I live quite aways away, so my dedication to this salon is with great reason. My acrylic nails rarely pop off, and even then it’s because I’m low on time so I miss the two week fill in. Gel nail Polish is great quality and they have a ton of colors.
Also, they play property brothers on the TV which is always a thumbs up to me. :)

The quality is great, but the services is less then. The short hair lady who I think is a manager is rude. I tried calling to change my appointment time and add someone, but they were closed for New Years which I understand. The probably is she came up with an attitude saying she never got a message «well how could I leave a message when there was no voicemail and the phone just rang and rang» they were not busy and she said I would have to come back at 1 for my appointment. I told her I couldn’t and she said well have a seat we will get to but probably not until 1 that would be a two hour wait. Just two weeks before I spent $ 160s here and now I will be taking my business elsewhere. We walked out and she said «so your not coming back for your 1 o’clock» and I said I am never coming back all she says is okay bye! Who treats people that way??? I was trying to treat my cousin who had just went thru cancer battle to a pedicure but that’s okay we went to a awesome new place. I will miss Ricky who does an awesome job and the facials are great, but the prices are off from their website so becareful when they quote you.

Disappointed with acrylic. Super thick and not even. Paint is horrible. Going somewhere else for new paint.

1^st time visit… great experience. Called at 3:30 asked for a 4:00 appointments, I was able to walk right in. I asked for their most luxurious pedicure and I got it! Lee treated me for a for over an hour and used a lot of great technique in massaging my feet. I will make another appointment

This was my first time at this salon, and I have to say I couldn’t be happier with my nails! They did an excellent job. It’s funny, because I wouldn’t have ever noticed this place was there until I read the reviews, but they didn’t steer me wrong. Very friendly, and got people in immediately – no wait! I’m really looking forward to trying out a facial and massage soon! Thanks, ladies, and I’ll see you again in the near future!

My pedicure was spectacular (mango pedi). However, I found my skin dried out much more quickly than usual after getting a pedicure here. I’m not sure why that would be, though. And, my daughter was cut during her manicure — and the cut was deep enough that it was painful for more than a week.
However, the personnel were very friendly, the place is comfortable, and they had a lot of color options for nail polishes.

I’ve been going to this place for years for eyebrow waxing and all different types of nails (pedi, gel, mani, acrylic, french) and have had no problems. In years last, everyone has been very friendly and accommodating. I recommend going in on weekdays for the best service. The weekends can be a little rushed/​busy.

Love this place! Clean, and comfy. Technicians are very nice. Tons of gel colors. They also stayed late for me when I called ahead. A hidden gem
I’ll be making this my go-​to salon from now on.

I was waiting for my delayed warranty company to do some work at my Cumming, GA rental property. I decided to get a little TLC on hands & feet. I stumbled on a gem!
The service=Magnificent!
The girls=Wonderful and detailed!
The salon=1 of 4, in ALL OF GEORGIA, that carries the very unique, natural, organic, green product for gel nail polishes!
The product=Bio Seaweed Gel.
My lovely color=Mouse.
This place is spectacular!

My partner and I got a full-​set and manicures two weeks ago.
I have to say they did a great job.
Here two weeks later they still look great.
I will go back.

Every time I get a pedicure, I am «that girl» who has to sit down and apologize for my feet being a little beat up… pedicures for me are few and far between, unfortunately. When I do get a pedicure, it is difficult for me to go anywhere else. I haven’t found many places whose pedicures last as long as the pedicures at Essence. No matter who does my pedicure, it is always quality. It is true also what Heidi M said, the chairs work and are fantastic!
I’ve also been here with very large groups and they are great to work with.
The ladies that work here are so sweet, and Emily the owner is wonderful.
