Lisa Wittwer's website for Portland Waxing had by far the best information, and for me, especially under the heading "For the Guys". She discussed the different types of wax and what to expect both at the appointment and afterward. She also clearly states her pricing, so you can cherry-pick your appointment elements with a lot of options; maybe you want to try waxing in a specific area before you go for more options, and she's set up for that as well. I made my appointment and Ms. Wittwer greeted me at her door. She treated me like she had no other appointments, like I was her only concern. She reviewed our plans, where I wanted my waxing, and how much of a sting I could get at different areas. Strangely, only my chest really had a zap, everywhere else was just like a quick slap. I think it's like when you lower yourself into cold water, the chest has more nerves or something. The room is warm and the table is super comfortable. Lisa uses palm size warm wax strips, apply, pop, apply pop apply pop, it's no big- we had a wonderful chat throughout the waxing, and thanks to her website I knew she'd be using the right kind of wax not to cause injury. I was thrilled with the look and feel of the final result. I didn't need my legs done since they're naturally almost bare now, just the torso plus the Brazilian enhancement; my back can get like a forest since it's hard to do well reaching around with my Mach 3 shaver; my chest is easy but the waxing lasted much longer, of course. No daily morning shave required, which was nice. With this being a public site I won't go into detail, but I can tell you there's no problem with the Brazilian aspect; Lisa is super nice and any physical discomfort is over literally in a second; stubbing your toe is a bigger deal. If I were professional class instead of a clerk, I'd have Portland Waxing scheduled regularly. You'll want to grow your hair to about a quarter to half inch so the wax has something to affix to. Because I shave regularly I had to wait for a long time before I could go, so don't be like me: set aside your regular body shaving in anticipation of your appointment. Also, parking can be difficult, since it's a residential area across from a popular park.

Extremely Disappointing Experience -- Poor Service & Customer Service…read more I had an extremely disappointing experience at The Lash Lounge, from the unexpected price increase to the poor quality of the service and, most importantly, the way my concerns were handled afterward. When I first called to make my appointment, I was quoted one price. When I arrived, I was told the price was higher because their prices had increased the day before. I was not informed of this change when I made my appointment, which felt like a bait-and-switch. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning of the problem. The lash lift itself was terrible. Immediately after the technician finished, I told her that my lashes were not lifted. I have had multiple lash lifts before, so I know what a properly lifted lash looks like. Most of my lashes were still pointing straight down, with only a few appearing to be lifted. Instead of acknowledging the problem or offering to fix it, the technician made excuses and told me there was nothing wrong with the lift. I specifically expressed that I was unhappy with the result before I even left the salon, so it was extremely frustrating to later be told that they could not do anything because more than 24 hours had passed. About a week later, my lashes looked even worse. I contacted the salon and explained that I had already brought the issue to the technician's attention immediately after the service. I even sent them a picture showing that my lashes clearly had not been properly lifted. Their response was that they could not fix them because doing so could potentially damage my lashes. I found this especially frustrating because I have gone to other lash professionals who, when a lift did not turn out properly, were willing to have me come back so they could correct the service. If they were genuinely concerned about the health of my lashes, I would have expected them to offer some kind of reasonable solution for a service I had already paid for but never actually received. Instead, they offered me only a 20% discount on a future service. Why would I pay them again for another service when the first service I paid for was never completed correctly? I ultimately had to go to another lash salon and pay for another lash lift out of pocket. I went to The Lash Ink two weeks after my failed lash lift at The Lash Lounge, and the technician there did an amazing job. My lashes were properly lifted, and despite The Lash Lounge telling me that another lift could damage or cause my lashes to fall out, I had no such issue. The Lash Ink also provided excellent customer service, which made the contrast between the two experiences even more obvious. I have supported small lash businesses before, and whenever there was a legitimate issue with a service, they were happy to work with me and make it right. Unfortunately, I did not receive that level of customer care from The Lash Lounge. A business should care about both the quality of its services and how it treats customers when something goes wrong. In this case, I felt completely dismissed after clearly communicating my concerns. This was the worst lash lift I have ever received and one of the worst customer service experiences I have had at a beauty salon. I spent money on a service I did not receive, had to pay another business to correct the problem, and was essentially told that my only option was to spend even more money with The Lash Lounge. I will never return to The Lash Lounge, and based on my experience, I would not recommend it. Save your time and money and go somewhere that actually stands behind its work and values its customers.

Well, Terrie is absolutely AMAZING and I would recommend her a thousand times over! She makes you feel extremely comfortable the entire time and her shop is adorable! Terrie is incredibly friendly and makes you feel at home. It's like spending a couple of hours with your best friend instead of a stranger. This is so important because we've all sat through those awkward beauty appointments where we feel like we are being poked and prodded. It's the complete opposite with Terrie. She is not only concerned about doing a great job, but she wants you to be comfortable and does whatever she can to make sure that you are. I continue to go back to her because she does such a wonderful job. Everyone comments on my eyelashes, and even those that are in the industry have a difficult time telling if they are mine or not. I have probably given out her information 20 times in the last couple months because she is simply that good at what she does. Since my first appointment, I have also gone to her for a facial (which was so relaxing!) and and I'm planning to have her do a spray tan this weekend. If you are having any doubts about having your eyelashes done, or anything else for that matter, don't! I promise that you won't be disappointed :)
