I love Tara. Her facials are the best!


Jan 29, 2025

Nicole is exceptional! She far exceeded my expectations! Yesterday she gave me beautiful, eye framing eyebrows. Mine had become sparse, but she brought them back and I am oh-so-pleased. She is a consummate artist, displaying superlative talent at her craft. She left me with a polished finished product. Her manner and professionalism put me right at ease, and I will definitely be back! The spa setting is gorgeous too!

Jen was so easy to talk to and I explained exactly what I wanted and she clarified what I needed! Excited to get going on a skin care/repair journey with her.

Jen was absolutely amazing, and I look forward to my next appointment❤️❤️

Jenn was amazing!! Her expertise was fantastic! AND I feel like I made a new Friend!! Can’t wait to go back!

Loved the experience from the first step inside. Jen is a gem!! The linens that touch your skin are luxurious and sets the mood for customized and magical facial. I came in specifically for age spots and she exceeded my expectations. I think everyone needs to experience her elevated service and contagious joy 🤩

Nichole was amazing! My first facial, but definitely wont be my last! I felt so pampered for my upcoming wedding!


Dec 05, 2024

This was my first time and I’ll definitely be back! I did a facial with Jennifer and she was incredible. Super thorough and energetic and passionate about her job without question!


Dec 05, 2024

Very professional, clean and nice. My eyebrows and lip waxing were great. I will be back!


Nov 05, 2024

I enjoyed the most relaxing facial with Tara. She not only took great care of my skin, but spent time to get to know my skin history, concerns and goals. Her knowledge, skills and personal approach make her the best aesthetician I have ever been to. I will be a returning client!


Nov 05, 2024

I love Beth so much! It’s always a pleasure visiting the Essential Face!!!


Nov 05, 2024

I love the Essential Face! Jennifer and Ashley are amazing! I highly recommend them!


Nov 05, 2024

Marissa did an AMAZING job with my Botox! She was super gentle and explained the process every step of the way. I’m extremely happy with the results. I won’t let anyone else touch my face! I highly recommend Marissa and the Essential Face.


Nov 05, 2024

This is my first appointment with Beth and I’ve had Botox before and she was fantastic. I am also a nurse practitioner and I understand that dynamics of Botox placement and I have to say she is a expert at this.


Oct 05, 2024

I only go to The Essential Face for injectables, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Beth and her staff create a welcoming atmosphere where you truly feel like their number one customer. The studio is beautifully designed and exudes a high-end vibe. I felt completely at ease throughout the entire experience. If you're in Columbia and looking for a trusted place for injectables, this is it!


Oct 05, 2024

Professional and beautiful interior. Ashley is excellent!


Sep 05, 2024

Did your skin have a “cruel summer?” Do you want to feel “bejeweled?” Want someone who will know your skin needs “all too well?” Then look no further …it’s about to be a “love story!” Tara is absolutely incredible! She is a skilled esthetician who can identify all of your skin needs! I trust her recommendations and she has helped keep my skin looking glowy and healthy for years! In addition to facials, we have recently added in skinpen treatments that have been amazing for fine lines and wrinkles and collagen production in my skin! If you are looking for one of the best in the business, run don’t walk, to see someone who is every bit as lovely as skilled!


Sep 05, 2024

First time in the office and everyone was super welcoming! Highly recommend for all your facial needs 💁🏼‍♀️


Aug 05, 2024

Beth’s skill, talent & enthusiasm for her job are unmatched in comparison to the multiple clinics/injectors that I have had experiences with in my lifetime! Because Beth is a field trainer for one of the major aesthetic products pharmaceutical companies, that gives me great confidence that she is “The Best”! As she steps back from you & intently studies your features & her handiwork, it’s like sitting for a portrait as she seeks to subtly define & accentuate your natural beauty. I have always left The Essential Face with an increased self-confidence & sense of empowerment as my self-image has been enhanced…no one can put a price on that!!


Aug 05, 2024

I love everything about The Essential Face. The staff, the injectors, the aestheticians and absolutely beautiful space all provide a first class experience. I personally have been going to Beth for years and have begun a facial regiment with Tara in the last few months. The care and precision with which they work is remarkable. It’s obvious that they truly care very much about their clients’ experience. Cannot recommend enough!


Aug 05, 2024

Tara at Essential Face is the best!


Aug 05, 2024

The staff was nice, and they did a great job with my face and made me feel comfortable.


Jul 05, 2024

Just had a 20/10 experience with Beth. Oftentimes consults with a new provider can be an intimidating experience, however, this was anything but……..Beth was an incredible listener, patient, kind, & thoughtfully made me a personalized plan for my areas of concern. I felt seen, cared for, & excited about her suggestions. The spa is beautiful & elegant, as are the staff. Wonderful experience!


Jul 05, 2024

The staff at The Essential Face are wonderful. They are knowledgeable, professional, and kind. I am not a “regular “ and generally enter with some apprehension. Within minutes I am made to feel comfortable. I leave a more confident lady. Beth and Nicole are the best.


Jun 05, 2024

I can’t say enough good things about Beth and her team. From the moment you walk in it feels like a sisterhood. Everyone is so sweet and friendly. Beth is an incredible human. I feel like I can trust her with my face and my life. She is so knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. I highly recommend!


Jun 05, 2024

If you are on the fence, GET OFF IT! And schedule that service you’ve been eyeing! Beth is AMAZING!! She & her staff are so kind, she is incredibly meticulous with her work and explanation of everything which I appreciate with it being my first visit! Another huge thing for me, she LISTENS. Thank you so much for my subtle little ooomph that I’ve been lacking with weight loss and age!!


Jun 05, 2024

Unmatched professionalism! Each and every individual at TES is caring, kind and dedicated to the comfort of everyone that walks through the door. THANK YOU Beth and team for always helping me look and feel my best! - J

I just love Beth! I am always pleased with my results. Essential Face has a number of lovely locations that are convenient for all.


May 05, 2024

I recently visited looking to enhance my brows via the Powder Brow treatment and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! I now have one less step in my makeup routine to worry about! Nicole was AMAZING and I would highly recommend her for any of the permanent makeup options that she offers!


May 05, 2024

If you are looking for expertise, professionalism, and an overall excellent PMU experience, look no further than Nicole at the Essential Face. She recently did my PMU eyeliner and put me at ease with her knowledge and demeanor. Nicole also cultivated such a beautiful and serene space, I was completely relaxed! I highly recommend! Will definitely be a returning customer!


Apr 05, 2024

Beth and staff are exceptional on delivery beautiful results in a safe and professional manner. Beth has a keen eye for esthetics and gentle touch. I have trusted Beth and her team for 6 years, the Essential Face is the absolute best in the business.
