I was so excited to hear Melissa opened her SkinTique Medi Spa in Happy Valley because I have been…read moreseeking an Advanced Esthetician with exceptional training and experience. It was worth waiting for Melissa to open her doors. She has an excellent reputation in the industry! Not only are Melissa and her team the nicest people ever, they are women who understand the challenges men and women face maintaining healthy, dewy skin especially over 35 or 40. I cannot recommend Melissa enough. This place offers everything. I had an amazing & thorough consult with the latest equipment assessing sun damage (wow, awakening!) & so much more. This has helped Melissa create a plan for correction that will allow her to address immediate needs & then move into an overall maintenance plan. This is not a beauty mill where someone pops in, shakes your hand, administers injectables in 30 seconds and leaves. This is a professional Medi Spa, a place where you invest time in yourself and work with Melissa & her team on an ongoing treatment & maintenance plan maybe every 4-6 weeks or so based on what Melissa evaluates and suggests. We do this with our hair, so why would our skin (and face) be any different? Highly recommend this business for BOTH men & women. Melissa takes a cellular approach suggesting treatments & medical grade products that work beneath the skin & surface. She's also an advocate of an overall healthy lifestyle which directly impacts our skin. (I learned so much after my first appointment!) Totally worth the investment for non-invasive, non-surgical treatments. Maybe begin with the Hydrafacial...it is amazing & decongests years of clogged pores & stress placed upon the skin. I LOVED the Hydrafacial! SkinTique's Happy Valley location is right next to New Seasons. It is also a newly renovated, gorgeous space! Our next session is Micro-Needling & I know I've found one of the best Advanced Estheticians in Oregon to perform these services.

I spent $900 which I was surprised because where I used to go was $1600 (they went out of business old place I went too). I got the injections in the later part of October early November. I called really upset because my one eyebrow was lower than my other. I get the injections on my forehead so I stop scrunching in between my eyebrows around my eyes and around my mouth. They offered for me to come back in a few weeks. Which is new for me also. But they didn't work. They didn't make any difference and so I can't go back if you didn't do it right the first time. I'm now on the hunt for an establishment that will listen and get my normal results. The girls are nice there but I'm paying for a product and for a benefit. I did give them a good review on their website because I was hoping that the product will eventually work. I can't delete that good review. I was really hopeful. So it was a waste of money, energy and time. I gave them a maybe because they might have excellent services but I go somewhere else for my facials.

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!

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.

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.

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've never had a bad experience - every clinician has been so friendly and welcoming. The first mishap I've had with the business happened last week - scheduling misunderstanding. Immediately after it happened, the owner of the business called me directly, offered many apologies, and offered me 50% off the rebooked service. She went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable and at ease with the situation. I knew this place was a gem before, but, now, I have no doubt! Keep up the good work, y'all.

I asked if the 2-3x per year was forever, and was told "No, not forever! Only while you're alive. Hair doesn't grow after you die". They stress that a reduction in hair growth (and not full removal) of 60-75% is the best I could hope for. I was also told my skin was very damaged, and I would need photo facial services almost everywhere I was looking to get laser hair removal (under chin, legs, bikini, underarms). I'm 32 and have since been asked about my great complexion. Additionally, I've subsequently found out the "laser" there is not a laser. I'm not an expert, but from pictures on their website, it's a Palomar StarLux 500, which uses Intense Pulse Light or IPL, and is somewhat outdated (and relatively inexpensive) technology. With what was being charged for a year of sessions, I could pay for the machine myself. Overall, I felt pretty self conscious after my initial consultation and wondered if my presupposed budget was wildly off base. After talking to friends and other businesses, this is by far the most expensive package I could find, and it doesn't have the technology, results, or added value to merit the price.
