My experience was just okay. I had read a lot of great reviews and was really excited for my…read moreappointment with Haley, but unfortunately, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. It was my first time getting my brows done, and the appointment felt pretty rushed. None of the steps were really explained to me, and I wasn't asked what shape I wanted or what I was hoping to achieve. My brows were cleaned up, and then I was told I was done. The results weren't necessarily bad, but I was hoping for a more welcoming and personalized experience, especially as a first-time client. I'd probably go somewhere else next time with a little more hospitality and a better overall vibe.

I…read morewent on Friday and it was pretty busy and they were behind cuz it was about a good 15-20 min wait. Front desk lady was real nice checking me in (but seemed confused about the whole yelp thing and read my email for a little while, as well as scheduling didn't seem to be all familiar with the yelp situation either which made making an appt super confusing since first time guests get the same free service they were offering for the yelp drawing- so it ended with a 'well first time guest get it free so it's the same thing' ) Once you walk back the hall way (in clackamas location) was super cool! It looked kinda castle like. The room it's self was rather small, not that a ton of room is needed but it did feel a little crowded. The walls and ceiling seemed a little outdated, but that honestly has nothing to do with the services itself, just not appealing to the eye, however they did tell me they are open every single day and just haven't had time to update. My technician, Alicia, was so amazing! Really nice, sweet, and explained everything to me. What she will do, how she will do it, why she was using certain things and so on. So this place uses a special European comfort wax, which is a gorgeous deep amethyst color and apparently is made specifically for this waxing company. It's a certain mix that supposed to make the wax more 'comfortable' . I figured it was just a hype but I was actually really surprised! It's a hard wax, which means no strips, it drys on your skin and hardens up to be ripped off. I've used many types of waxes and I felt like this wax was very.. fluffy?? Silky? Airy? I'm not sure how to describe it, but like you didn't really notice it going on. It seemed pretty flexible too so it didn't snap or break when being taken off. I would have enjoyed having a side my side comparison with another wax to see if what I thought in my head was real. Before waxing took place they wipe you down with an oil to keep the wax from sticking to your skin. Then after wipe you down with an oil to get any residue off and also an anti ingrown hair wipe. After a full 24 hours I was really surprised at how well the area looked. It wasn't irritated or sensitive. It all was totally normal. They offer deals too which I've never seen a wax place do- anything from buy X get Y free to unlimited waxing for the year, all discounted. I really enjoyed the experience and would love to try some more waxing. Update: Ive had plenty of waxes before and the grow out of always less than fun, especially near intimate areas. Grow back had been pretty similar as other places, BUT the months to follow have shown a real difference. Im not sure how to really explain it if you havent experienced it before. Ill just say results have been more than expected and better than other places i have been to (and a noticeably less amount of hair back)

Overall good service. I just hate how pushy they are with the upsales; just let me get my wax and…read morego. Feels too corporate in that sense. $$$$. It's a little too much.

Recently, I decided to start treatments on my full legs and underarms, and it has honestly made my life so much easier. Before, I felt like I had to shave every single morning if I wanted to wear a skirt. Now, getting ready is so much less stressful, and the results look so much nicer. Even right after shaving, I used to see little dark dots from the hair follicles under my skin, but now the look is smooth and clean. I purchased a package of 6 treatments and am going in for my 5th today. I've noticed visible improvement after each session, and I couldn't be happier with the progress. On top of that, Gordon makes the whole experience enjoyable, such a kind and easy person to be around. I highly recommend Olena Spa and Laser to anyone considering laser hair removal.

I moved here from Las Vegas a year ago & I wasn't able to find a nail salon that remotely did my nails as good as I like until I went to the mall and found Prim Nails. The customer service I received was second to none. All of the manicurist talked to me and acknowledged me right when I walked in. They didn't talk down to me or make me feel out of place. My daughter wanted stiletto nails and they actually knew how to do them and did a beautiful job as well. I'm kind of rough with my hands and my nails haven't broken at all even though its been 3 weeks since I had a fill. I'd recommend this salon to anyone without hesitation. They have a style and flair that you just don't usually find here in Oregon. I'm a forever customer as long as I'm in this state........Also their pedicures are dreamy and so relaxing I almost fell asleep read more
