In order to ensure a delightful experience for our guests while protecting the integrity of our service providers and staff, we ask that the following policies and rules of etiquette be observed at Essentiels:
HOURS
Essentiels is open seven days per week for your convenience. Our hours of operation are:
Mon-Fri: 8am – 8pm
Sat: 8am – 6pm
Sun: 10am – 6pm
Essentiels is closed on New Year’s Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
CONSULTATIONS
General consultations on our services or products are available over the phone or in the spa, at no charge.
APPOINTMENTS
We recommend that you book your next appointment prior to leaving the spa, so that we can be sure to accommodate your wishes. If you have any special needs or concerns, please let us know. As a courtesy to you, we will confirm your appointment a day in advance. For packages and spa services, we encourage you to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your appointment time. Should you arrive late for your appointment, your treatment may be modified to maximize the remaining time without compromising the next appointment.
CANCELLATIONS AND NO-SHOWS
A credit card or gift card guarantee is required for all packages and spa services. To ensure we provide the best service possible, cancellations must be received a minimum of 24-hours prior to your appointment. If we do not receive a 24-hour notice of cancellation, your card on file will be charge 50% of the cost of the service(s) scheduled. Other fees may apply for salon service cancelations.
RETURN POLICY
All returns must be accompanied by the original receipt and are only valid within 30 days of purchase or receiving the item(s). Returns are accepted for store credit only. No cash refunds. Damaged, used, sale or discontinued items may not be returned. Additionally, when items are purchased as a set, we can only accept returns of complete sets, not individual items. Clothing and lingerie, sale items, and ‘as is’ items, are also non-returnable.
If an online order return is the result of our mistake, Essentiels will send you a pre-paid call tag to ship the item(s) back to us, otherwise, the cost of return shipping is the customer’s responsibility. For good measure, we always recommend you secure a tracking method for shipping a return. Once we receive the returned item, you will receive a return confirmation via email. Please allow 5-7 business days for your Essentiels gift card with your credit balance to arrive.
GIFT CARDS AND INSTANT GIFT CERTIFICATES
Gift cards are available in any amount and for any service. They are perfect for all occasions and are elegantly wrapped as a complimentary service to you. Gift cards and instant gift certificates can be purchased in the spa, over the phone or online. Gift cards and instant gift certificates never expire. They are redeemable for merchandise or services at Essentiels Spa et Beauté. Gift cards and certificates have no cash value and are not redeemable for cash. Essentiels Spa et Beauté is not responsible for lost or stolen gift cards or certificates.
PRICING
Essentiels reserves the rights to modify, discontinue, or raise prices on any service without prior notification to ensure maximum quality standards are upheld.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Please notify our reservations specialist before booking your treatments if you have high blood pressure, allergies, any other physical ailments or disabilities, or if you are pregnant. If you have any concerns at all, please let us know. If at any time during your services you experience discomfort, please alert your service provider immediately.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES
In order to maintain a tranquil environment, we request that you turn off your cell phone and/or pager when visiting our spa. Additionally, we ask you to limit your cellular use in the salon or retail boutique out of respect for other guests and patrons.
