Absolutely love Johna (sorry if I misspelled) and her entire team! So clean and bright and calming. Have had several services so far and will continue to come back for more. Thank you so taking such good care of my daughter and me! Back next month for micro needling and can't wait to see the results! read more

I don't typically leave negative reviews, but I felt this experience was worth sharing. Unfortunately, my visit to Be Smooth was disappointing from the moment I arrived. The front door was locked, and I was left waiting outside until someone eventually let me in. It wasn't the most welcoming first impression for a business centered around selfcare and relaxation. As soon as I walked inside, I was greeted by a strong odor that reminded me of food that had recently been heated in a microwave. It was quite noticeable and unexpected in a spa setting, where I generally expect a clean, fresh, and calming environment. During my threading appointment, Kennedy came across as rushed, somewhat dismissive, and as though she would rather be somewhere else. I understand everyone has difficult days, but I never felt particularly welcomed or at ease. The service felt transactional rather than thoughtful. What concerned me most, however, was overhearing employees speaking loudly about their dissatisfaction with management while I was using the restroom. Hearing internal workplace frustrations discussed within earshot of clients created an uncomfortable and unprofessional atmosphere. The salon itself also lacked the warm, polished feel I expect from an esthetics business. The space felt dated and visually disjointed, without much cohesion or attention to detail. Rather than feeling intentionally designed, it came across as somewhat thrown together, with a few decorative touches that felt mismatched and a bit tacky. Overall, the environment could really benefit from an update to create a more inviting, relaxing experience. I genuinely wanted to enjoy my visit, but the combination of the atmosphere, the service, and the overall energy left me disappointed. I hope the business takes the opportunity to improve both the client experience and the work environment for its staff. read more

I liked that I could find a same day service on a Saturday. Prices were not over expensive either. It's a fare price. The store keeps their doors locked and monitors the flow of traffic in their store, a little unusual for me. The vibe from the lady at the front t desk was a bit off. Not so welcoming BUT this was all forgotten when Skye brought me in to service my underarm and Brazilian wax. She's so nice, personable, professional and made it very easy and comfortable to receive a Brazilian. Timing was on point. I was finished with both services under an hour as was advised. read more

The look and the feel of my skin after a facial at Be Smooth is incredible. It feels incredibly clean and refreshed. Speaking of clean, the shop is remarkably clean, and the staff are very kind and thoughtful and considerate. You can't pick a better place to go, Be Smooth is it! read more

I was given a gift certificate from my daughter who is a regular client for an express rejuvenation facial. I was very impressed and pleased with the appointment from start to finish with Jessica. The salon is inviting, the service is professional and I left very pleased with the results. read more

A perfect salon experience at Be Smooth in the Pearl. Got the French facial and a brow lamination with Jessica who made me feel special. Walked out aglow! Highly recommend and I will be back soon. read more

Be Smooth - Refreshed after my Be Smooth facial, - Skin Care Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I started getting facials at Be Smooth about a year ago. I have never had a bad experience. The salon is spotless. The prices are reasonable. The staff is delightful. The products are top-notch. Guests are given samples to try at home, which is always a plus when considering a purchase. I have not yet tried other services, but as summer approaches, I'm sure I will . 5 stars -- highly recommend! read more

My eyebrows threading was a 1 star experience unfortunately. I was hoping to book a last minute, Sunday appointment when I came across this day spa - I should really have just waited a couple more days for my go to place/person. The lady who did my brows missed lots of spots that I had to call out for her to fix. What I didn't notice until I got home was she also had taken out skin leaving a scar ON BOTH SIDES. I'll not return or recommend this place read more

I have been here multiple times since moving to Portland and staff is always friendly and my skin always feels great after treatment.

Amy at Be Smooth was so nice and proficient and gave me good advice. I came out with clean, smooth, and glowing skin! I liked the get down to business attitude of the place and love their products!. Lisa- over 70 facial read more

I've been to Be Smooth several times over the years and have always had good experiences with facials, threading, spray tans... I just saw Laura for a Yumi lash lift and was so impressed! The solution doesn't smell like a perm the way other lash lift solutions do and I was so happy with the results! read more

I had my first facial at Be Smooth today with Amy and it was wonderful. Amy is easy to talk to and spent quite a bit of time explaining what she was doing and why. My skin looks amazing and I am excited to try the sample that she gave me plus I bought some mascara on her recommendation. I will be back for sure. Thank you. read more

Excellent service, wonderful vibe, and great results. I highly recommend this business.

I am happy to rave about Be Smooth - I have been going here for two years and am always happy with the service, the quality of the skin care and recommendations on products. Jana and her team are delightful! Also, my teenagers get facials to treat acne at Be Smooth - and their skin is soo good, since getting care at Be Smooth. The quality of the care is really phenomenal. I recommend Be Smooth to friends and family - and they think Be Smooth is awesome, too. I am confident that you will be happy with Be Smooth. read more

Went in to have my underarms taken care of. Jessica was so nice and professional in dealing with me. Salon is spotless and inviting. Worth the trip to come to old town. read more

I regularly schedule appointments for face extractions with Jana. My face is very sensitive, and I've had the best results with minimum redness since I started booking stractions with her. She's really sweet and professional. I went from having a very bad case of acne to having a smooth and clean face over the last year, and I think these sessions were a big part of it. Also, I have had endermologie sessions in the past here, and I love wearing a lightweight hydrating gel on the summer from a line they sell in here. read more

I got a facial with Kennedy and she was very patient, kind and did an awesome job! My skin was very red and unhappy for about a day or two after the facial, but after that my skin has been very smooth/ glowy since! She did an excellent job with extractions and I will definitely be back. read more

My skin was in desperate need of some treatment after all this mask wearing for months so I looked up several different places to get a facial. Be Smooth stood out to me because their prices are SO reasonable. They also have several different options for types of services and the staff is really helpful if you're trying to figure out what would be best for you. I felt safe and protected (from COVID) during my entire appointment and could tell that they take all of the pandemic precautions very seriously. Phaysone was great and answered all my questions. She gave me great recommendations for products and future services to try. I will definitely be back! read more

I discovered Be Smooth years ago and remembered having a good experience so I decided to come back. I have to say, my review is long overdue! This place is a gem and so is the owner. She is very knowledgeable about skin plus she's so sweet! They're now in a new location (which is still in the Pearl) and it is an upgrade. I went in to see Helene, the owner, for a wax a week ago and it was the best waxing experience I've ever had. Brazilians are always scary to me but since I had such a comfortable and effective waxing experience, I cannot wait to come back! (Did I really say that?!) Another plus: The prices here are more reasonable compared to other waxing salons in the area. Today, I came in to see Helene again for their signature French facial. I feel that I have a solid skincare routine but recently experienced some dryness. My facial took place in a spacious, private room and I felt so comfortable. I left with smooth, glowing, hydrated skin... and great skincare tips from Helene. I just read on Yelp that she was a chemist for Christian Dior. OMG! Helene also carries high quality products. She provided me a generous sample to try to help with my skin concerns. I cannot wait to try it! Also, the decor is adorable... French themed so I feel like I'm in France. Most importantly, they strictly follow Covid restrictions so I was fully at ease during my appointments. This place will be part of my monthly routine. read more

I adore this spot. I have been here twice now and have had an extremely positive experience each time. I have extremely acne prone skin and each time was given highly-personalized care. This last time around Shauna spent our time together doing expert extractions, just a day later my puffy, Welty face is looking glowy and much clearer. I also love the products they carry, highly recommend the micellar water and drying lotion. They're prices are totally reasonable and all the team here deserved big fat tips! Thanks Be Smooth see you soon read more

I called to book an appointment. The whole process seem hectic since. They're were struggling dealing with clients and answering the phone. They told me I had an appointment and even send me an email confirmation. When I arrived they told me they friend to calm back and left a voice mail which I never received or saw any missed call. But I arrived and they told me they decided to book a Davian instead of my thread services. I was so disappointed and the only thing I got was " sorry. " not even caring about my time or anything. Lame attitude. And now I wonder if it was the best if they're not able to handle a phone call would they will be able to handle taking care of my eyebrows ? Seems like not or they preferred to book a more expensive service over mine. So I wouldn't recomend going to a place where they don't care about you but all they care is about your money. Way to go ! read more

Jana and the staff at Be Smooth are so professional and knowledgeable. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a facial and endermolift! Love this place! read more

Facial, eyebrow shaping, and tinting. I highly recommend visiting Be Smooth for all your facial maintenance. The location has easy access and the technicians can't be beat. I have never had a negative experience. Today I had Amy as my technician. She was wonderful as well educating me on good facial care. Add this business to your list. read more

I've been seeing Kennedy at Be Smooth for over a year now. I get brow threading + tint and dermaplaning done on my face. Highly recommend her to all that visit, excellent customer service (always remembers what I've been up too, and checks in!), has great product knowledge, and I come out feeling like a million bucks read more

this place has sadly been going down hill. the location and space is great but it feels like all their good estheticians have left. I got my brows waxed and tinted by someone new since my usual girl left and I told her to start with less and we can wax more if need be. after the wax and tint it looked like I had caterpillars for eyebrows so I asked her to pluck a little more and she basically told me no because she didn't want them to be too thin.... so that was unusual. I didn't argue and went home and plucked them myself. prices are fine, cost about $40 for a wax and tint. Sadly, I think I'll start going somewhere new though even if I have to pay a little extra. read more

This place is awesome! I made an appointment with Jana for a Brightening Micro-infusion facial. She is so professional knowledgeable! She explained everything very well. When I asked her, she also recommended other facials I would benefit from. I am not an expert, so I love it when professionals are honest about your needs. I have already booked another facial and brow tint with her, and I am looking forward to it! read more

I have been getting my eyebrows waxed for years now and have been to many different places (in San Francisco and Portland)- this is the best so far. Ive had two different people work on me and both have done an excellent job. My aesthetician of choice now is Lupe. She accommodates my request of "no plucking" beautifully, her technique is on point- she removes the wax strip extremely fast so the pain is minimal. She is also very easy to communicate with and is more than happy to make little tweaks or adjust the shape as needed to satisfy me. I do like my eyebrows a bit thinner than most people and have run into resistance from providers at other places- but not here. I'm picky and sensitive and always feel very well cared for here. I am of the impression that they have very high standards for the people they hire. Additionally, the place is very clean, classy, and everyone I have interacted with, including front desk people and the owner (presumably), have been very pleasant (despite the fact that I am habitually a few minutes late). The French music is another nice touch. I look forward to trying a facial here in the future. read more

Amazing- wax, tint & tan. The expertise, quality & customer service were all top of the line. This is part of the best of Portland- the kind of busines, service and people that make Portland a great place to be. read more

Kailey was amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, provided great services (facial, eyebrow threading + tinting), and I'm so thrilled with the spa that I'm going back tomorrow to get my lashes tinted! Thanks so much!! read more

I went in this week for my first facial and I felt so cared for! I told Jana about my recent cancer diagnosis and my process through chemotherapy and she took extra care to address my new skin sensitivity. She even sent me home with a set of gentle skincare products as a gift because she wanted to make sure I felt extra love and care in this period. I was and am so touched and grateful. read more

Amazing Service!!! I came in a couple of times for waxing, Ever think you would have a chat with your esthetician while laying on the waxing table?? You would most likely get that here!! The girls are so down to earth and polite. I'm a happy camper Definitely recommend read more

Overall I like this place and have enjoyed coming here. I have gotten my eyebrows threaded and gotten spray tans. My main feedback is that they need to do more thorough consultations with their spray tans. It seems they have one color choice and you get what you get. I asked for a light tan and my hands and feet are extremely splotchy and i am a bronzy orange color. It costs about $50 to get a tan here so they should be more customizable. I will say, i did reach out to the owner and she offered to refund me and gave me tips on how to get it off. (unfortunately, it didn't work...) but i appreciated her response and willingness to make it right. read more

outstanding services and staff, Beth and Jana pay close attention to detail. exceptional service! thank you!

Always very accommodating to their customers. I come here at least every month for some type of service, I love their facials and this is my go to place for brow waxing. Each time I leave feeling refreshed and loving the shape of my brows. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

I came to Be Smooth for the first time today after a friend recommended it. I got a facial and a back facial from Jana and I'd recommend both. Jana was highly professional, fun to converse with, and did a great job making my back and face skin glow. She extracted stuff out of my nose pores that I didn't know was possible. I'll definitely be back. read more

This review is LONG overdue. I honestly just thought of it because of another experience I had, but I thought I'd note my experience here. I had a "facial" here in 2015 I believe. It was.not.good. Let me run you through your "facial" First, a steamer blows in your face while you're left alone in a chair by the window for the world to see for 15 minutes. The steam was sucked up by the air conditioning mostly and the girl couldn't figure out how to fix it. Next, they clarisonic your face. One: gross. Who else used this brush? and two: I already own a clairosnic I'm not paying someone to clarisonic my face. Last, they used what I could only explain as an ultrasonic spatula (('ll include a picture)) to dig into my skin. It was SO painful. Since this experience I've had multiple facials, none have been so painful as this. I got the express treatment I think it was 60 dollars. I would literally never go back here. What I received was a poor excuse for a facial, painful and didn't improve the quality, done or texture of my skin. read more

My skin feels smooth and amazing after a painless microdermabrasion treatment and the esthetician, Beth, was knowledgeable, smart, and fun. I will be going back monthly to fight off the hostile advances of Father Time. read more

I cannot believe it's taken me so long to review this incredible place. I'm here at least every two weeks (or sometimes every ten day - my eye brows are a beast!) for the last 3 years. Helene is supremely talented at all things skin related. She legitimately knows what she's talking about when she advises you on your skincare needs. The other women that work in the space are also very good at their respective roles. If you need waxing or affordable and effective facials, Be Smooth is your place! read more

Always such a pleasure! Everyone is always so nice and welcoming! My brows look fantastic from threading, and will continue to return!

I never had acne until the end of 2019, i had no idea why i was breaking out so bad on both sides of my cheeks. I ate really healthy, no junk food or soda so it was a mystery. I started coming here for the mandalic peel masks about once a month (until covid hit and they had to close and then i moved to LA) but it helped a lot. I still use their face wash, acne cream and mandalic acid serum everyday. my break outs stopped being so bad a few months ago and since the year started i havent broke out except for a pimple here and there. I do think drinking carrot juice everyday has also helped, gives my skin a nice glow. But the serum from them has definitely helped get rid of the scars I had. the first photo is from like march of 2020 after a treatment (it was even worse before that) and the second is from today read more
