I hate to leave bad reviews, but I don't want someone else to have the experience I have had…read more I had a facial on 10/9. I explained to Houda that I have dry, sensitive skin and am on tretinoin, which further sensitizes skin. Certain ingredients don't mix well with tretinoin and if you're doing a peel, micro needling, etc you have to stop tret use for several days leading up to treatment. During my facial, she applied a salicylic acid mask that immediately burned my skin, to the point that my eyes were watering and it was unbearable to leave on longer than about a minute or two. By the time I got home, my skin was bright red, like a bad sunburn. By 10/11, my skin was peeling off in chunks. I emailed Houda and she replied some dryness and tightness is normal. I am now 4 days out and my entire face is still peeling in large pieces. If I was there for peel, that'd be ok, but I just went for a facial and had no intention of getting a peel and it was never discussed. Houda's response to my concerns has felt a bit dismissive and told me this is a normal reaction. If that's the case, I wish the communication had been better- I had no idea she was going to use a product that'd cause my face to peel intensely for days on end. After looking into the product used, it is not intended to cause peeling. It seems like this product shouldn't have been used on sensitive skin or on a client using tretinoin. The manufacturer of the product advised me to see a doctor regarding this reaction. Based on other reviews I know Houda can do great work, unfortunately I don't think this is a good option for people with sensitive skin looking for a facial.

I had a few cherry angioma's on my torso (that is not me in the photo). They're harmless (found…read moremostly on fair skinned people) but weird (for lack of a better word). Houda, the proprietor, zapped them in a matter of a few minutes and they are now completely gone. Houda also does tattoo removal - for people who lacked the good judgement not to get dolphins and Garfield that Cat tatted to their ankles back in the 80's. The salon is gorgeous and she works Tuesday - Saturday: 10 am - 6:30 pm and her prices are lower than other salons that I'd checked out. If you want to get rid of some cherry moles or ridiculous tattoos (that your mother warned you not to get), give her a call.

I was debating between this place (Pain Free Laser) and Radiance Laser for my first Brazilian…read moresession based on reviews. I can't tell you how thankful I am that I chose this place!! After I did some research on various lasers on the market, I chose Pain Free Laser. They claim they have the best tech and they actually do (!!!) The Soprano XL is a phenomenal laser and is a fairly new addition in the market. The technology is top-notch and it really was pain-free (and surprisingly fast). I couldn't find another place in the Portland metro area that had comparable laser equipment. Marietta runs this place on her own and she does a darn good job at it :) She is extremely knowledgeable, communicative and highly-skilled at what she does. The COVID precautions she took made me feel safe and comfortable the entire time. I'm looking forward to the rest of my sessions and having my boyfriend come here too!

If you have ever been interested in laser hair removal, even slightly, please consider reading…read moreabout Norma at her SilkySkin center in Clackamas and making a consultation appointment. You will learn about how laser hair removal works, how easy the process is, and if you end up choosing to continue, I am confident you will love the results. (And surprisingly, in my opinion, it is less painful than you might imagine!) I'm sure many laser hair removal centers will have similar, amazing results, but I very much hope you will bring your business to Norma. As you've read in other reviews, she is a professional, her space is clean and safe, she communicates regularly, and listens well. What really strikes me about Norma though, and why I wanted to submit a review, is that she is truly a beautiful person who cares about her clients and their personal journeys toward smooth skin, and/or self-confidence, and/or feeling beautiful in your own skin. Norma is a generous, kind soul, the exact person you would trust and feel comfortable with as you pursue what hair removal will do for you. Book your free consultation with Norma at SilkySkin Med Spa soon!

I had been shopping around for facial laser hair removal and was honestly discouraged by how…read moreimpersonal and outrageously expensive some places were. Then I stumbled upon Silky Skin and spoke with Norma, and I'm so glad I did. From the very beginning, Norma was incredibly kind, informative, and reasonably priced. I've now had several appointments with her, and I'm absolutely loving the results--the treatments have been so effective! What really sets Norma apart is how professional and caring she is. She genuinely cares about her clients and the results of her services, and that comes through at every appointment. I couldn't recommend Norma enough. If you're considering laser hair removal, she is absolutely worth seeing. I would recommend her 100 times over!

Do yourself a favor and go see Crystal if you're looking for a Brazilian. I was in town and needed…read morea same day appointment. Crystal was so accommodating and courteous. The waxing studio is clean and inviting. There's plenty of parking. Sugaring will give you a smoother and longer lasting result than wax ever can. But it has to be done right. Crystal did perfect- minimal pain. I have not felt so smooth even with sugaring at other places. She did a thorough job and I didn't have even a single hair when I checked at home. I appreciate this so much. She made me feel comfortable from the moment I got there and I left with the baby perfect wax. So if you're looking for a stellar Brazilian do yourself a favor and go see Crystal!!

But with Crystal, the 30 min felt not rushed, a little less painful (because obviously hair removal is not a pain free experience), and she was making sure I was ok doing small parts at a time.

PERFECT. Portland: stop, it's done, the search is over…read more Marija is it. This was my first experience in 'sugaring' anything and finding Marija has felt like *hitting the jackpot.* Guys, men: if you've considered waxing/sugaring, it's the thing to do and this is where to come. The outcome has kept me absurdly satisfied for a month. I'm hooked. F**k shaving. 1) Marija is a self-proclaimed perfectionist. Anybody that does work on/to you SHOULD be a perfectionist. This shows in her process and is the only outcome she'll settle with. 2) She is a BLAST and a wonderful human being. Her energy, demeanor, rapport and hospitality are at the highest caliber. 3) She may not share this much, but Marija owned and ran an extremely successful beauty company in Europe before choosing to move to the states. She knows ALL of her sh**. In our 3+ hours together (a big job) I enjoyed every minute. She worked diligently the entire time and took care things were comfortable the whole way--all while we listened to good music and reminisced on life. I left feeling not only like I got MORE than my money's worth, but almost like she was a new friend. Now, that's a sugaring experience. GUYS. GIRLS. SHE'S PERFECT.

I found a Groupon deal for a micro-needling session with Natalia and remembered having a good…read moreexperience with her when I got laser hair removal on my mustache last year. The machine was of great quality because I didn't need to go back. As someone on the autism spectrum, people have tried to take advantage of me. Four months ago I paid double of what Natalia charges, and the aesthetician tech missed several spots on my face and said "it will come out in the wash". No longer believing in "you get what you pay for" I decided to give Groupon a try, which generally is a bad idea for micro-needling, but I got lucky with Natalia. She was extremely thorough, sanitary, non-biased, kind, and professional. She took so much time on me and put a lot of effort into my face. Note that with Groupon, she made 1/3 of what I was charged elsewhere, yet treated me better and did a better job. I rarely leave reviews, but I wanted to share my great experience, and leave an honest review. You are in great hands. Before and 3 days after: My acne was no longer active when I went in for the procedure
