I've had two sessions so far here with Averie for laser tattoo removal, who is kind and easy to talk to. But my most recent visit left me hesitant to recommend this place. At my first appointment, we confirmed my two small tattoos directly next to one another would be classified and priced as a single "small" session at $200, and my next visit was rebooked at that same classification with the front desk while Averie was present. During my second session, the treatment went ahead as normal and Averie and I chatted throughout the treatment for ~30 minutes with no mention of any price change. Only after it was complete did the front desk tell me I'd be charged for a "medium" instead, bringing the total to $300. When I pushed back, the explanation I got from Averie felt jumbled and inconsistent. I paid the difference anyway because I'd already received the treatment and didn't feel I had a real choice. Deciding pricing after a service is done, when the client has no ability to say no, isn't something I can overlook, especially with a licensed provider where trust matters. I'm not sure if I'll be booking future sessions here. EDIT: The owner has reached out to rectify the situation, so I'll adjust the stars rating but leaving this up in case there are others who run into this same issue for transparency. read more

I can only speak personally to the permanent eyeliner services performed by Angela She is incredibly thorough, careful, and meticulous about her work. She takes the time to explain everything, makes sure you're comfortable throughout the entire process, and never makes you feel rushed. When someone is working that close to your eyes and doing something permanent- that level of attention and care matters! The studio itself is beautiful, welcoming, and clearly very professionally run. They offer a wide range of services, including microneedling, laser treatments, tattoo removal, and more, and the entire space has a polished, high-end feel without being intimidating. Angela's treatment room is lovely and comfortable, and she has a way of making the whole experience feel relaxed while still being extremely precise and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her again. If you're considering permanent eyeliner and want someone who genuinely takes her time and cares about getting it right, I highly recommend Angela. read more

DAELA is the absolutely amazing. I came here to have them help me with a bad combo brow situation. They did a great job with removal and the options that best fit my brows moving forward. I have gone back for PRF treatment and I cannot say enough about Dr Elizabeth McElligott. She is the best of the best. It was my first time getting injectable's and she made the process quick and painless. She has the most calming presence and talked me through everything so I knew what to expect. My final session is almost healed and I am so pleased with the results. I will 100% be back when the time comes! read more

I could not be more pleased with my experience seeing Taylin at DEALA for Bre Powder Bros. She is a master at her craft- so easy to talk to and spends time drawing and redrawing to not only make me feel comfortable but so she could feel confident in her work as well. She explains every step of the process so well. She did an incredible job giving me EXACTLY what I was looking for! I could not be more thrilled! I should have done this years ago- GO SEE TAYLIN! read more

DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo - Ombré Powder Brows - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Averie was amazing! I had my first session for tattoo removal and it was very quick. No blistering or major swelling. highly recommend!

I am in the process of having a tattoo removed and had been going to another tattoo studio for 12 sessions, but was no longer seeing progress. I found out that DAELA has a pico laser. Very different and better if you had color in your tattoos for sure. I went and had my first treatment today the pain level for this type of laser over the place. I've been going was like night and day. Highly recommend. read more

Come see Lina if you are interested in a true professional who cares about your mind, body, and soul. She is amazing and I highly recommend.

I'm back with another review because this place continues to deliver. I had lip blushing done this year with Vivian, and previously I've had eyeliner and brows done here as well, all with different artists. Every experience has been consistently excellent. Vivian was incredibly clear and upfront about the lip blushing process, including the fact that it can be more intense than eyeliner or brows. For me, that was true, though I know it varies by person. My first pass healed lighter than I wanted, and at my follow-up Vivian really listened. She made sure I was thoroughly numbed and adjusted the color to a richer shade that I love. She also explained that some lips simply don't retain pigment as easily, which was reassuring and helpful to understand. Healing was easy, and I'm excited to see how the color continues to settle over the next few weeks. What really stands out to me about this studio is how kind, attentive, and thoughtful all of the artists are. One consistent approach I've noticed is that they intentionally go lighter at first, which makes total sense. You can always deepen the color at the follow-up, and it avoids ending up with something too intense. Overall, another great experience and I couldn't be happier with the care and results. read more

Amy does a great job with my eye brows. Always looks great and she is nice adding professionalism.

Overall an excellent experience at DAELA! The space is so lovely and staff were really nice. Taylin did an amazing job with my brows and the results are beautiful. read more

My husband Travis recently completed his brow touchup with Taylin Perkins! Travis has Alopecia and while most cosmetic tattoo artists may feel uncomfortable working with someone with his medical condition, Taylin did not step away from the challenge. Her freestyle skills are amazing and truly artistic. This has been a life changing experience for Travis which has boosted his confidence for his daily life! Thank you Daela for employing Taylin. We couldn't be more grateful for the results. Taylin needs a raise! read more

The quality and atmosphere at Daela was excellent. From checkin to checkout everything went smoothly. Angela tattooed my eyeliner, Taylin my brows and today Lina my lips! Loving my look. read more

Lina is fabulous inside and out! Knows what she's doing, is efficient and quick but takes her time to make everything look perfect. I got my first round of lip blush today and am already obsessed with the results. Can't wait to go back! read more

the clinic is welcoming and professional. the artists are skilled and personable. I've recommended Daela to friends.

It's been two years since my initial surgical scar camo tattoo sessions with Shonna. I wasn't sure I needed to come in, but felt it would be good to get her opinion. Scheduling was a breeze, parking was easy to find nearby, and the check-in process upon arrival was smooth as silk. This is a VERY well run operation! Shonna's treatment space is inviting and airy. She immediately pointed out where a couple of sections of my scars had released pigment over time and needed touch-up. She also said she had some new pigments since my last visit that would better match my skin tone. I really respect how prepared and professional she is. The overall touch-up procedure was done painlessly and quickly. At the end she observed that there was a bit of bleeding, and asked if I'd forgotten to follow the pre-procedure recommendation to avoid caffeine the day of a session. Sheepishly, I said I did have coffee. She was judgement free, and just moved on to outline on post-procedure tattoo care regiment. Overall, I can't recommend Shonna and DAELA highly enough! I plan to go back annually for check-ins and touch-ups, as-needed. read more

I can't tell you how nervous I was about the thought of eyeliner tattoo, but given how many times my carefully-applied liquid liner ended up just making me feel like a raccoon, I decided to go for it. I'm so glad I did. Angela was so careful, so patient, such a perfectionist (something you really want!) and she took a lot of time taking into account my face and eye shape, my life habits, and my attitude (again, a level of detail most would overlook but its amazing how eyeliner really frames not only your eyes, but your whole "look"). She talked me through every step, she tucked me in under a blanket and continually checked in with me through the whole process, telling me what to expect. I can't explain enough how much I felt cared for in the most professional way and I'm absolutely delighted at the results! read more

Couldn't be happier with my experience. I had classic eyeliner done with Angela, and it looks beautiful. I was apprehensive beforehand because I did not want a harsh, jet black result. Angela understood exactly what I was looking for. The comments I've received from friends and family so far have been: delicate, tasteful, classy, natural, which is exactly what I was looking for. The location itself is immaculate, and the front desk people were very professional. I will definitely be back - probably for brows. I do NOT want caterpillar brows and I think this place can deliver.... read more

Immediate response when I sent a request for consultation/advice on what I should do to re-do my brows. I started my procedure with tattoo removal from previous years (different place) and finished with a new look. Staff is friendly greeted with a smile, soothing and relaxing ambience. Great customer service and great artist. Super happy with results. read more

DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo - My eyebrow process - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Portland, Oregon

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024 and undergoing a double mastectomy, reconstruction, and seven surgeries in just one year, I knew I wanted to reclaim a part of myself that had been lost. That's when I found Lina at DAELA, and everything changed. Booking my 3D Areola and Nipple Restoration Tattoos with Lina was the final, empowering step in my healing journey. From the moment I walked in, Lina held my hand--literally and emotionally--through the entire process. She is not only an extraordinarily talented artist, but also one of the kindest, most compassionate souls I've ever met. The entire DAELA team made me feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. When I got home after the tattoos, I broke down in tears--but this time, they were tears of joy. For the first time since my diagnosis, I looked in the mirror and felt whole again. Lina, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You didn't just restore my body--you helped restore my spirit. My cancer journey is now complete, and I finally feel like me again. You've changed my life for the better. read more

DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo - With Lina at DAELA Portland - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I had areola and nipple restoration. Lina did a great job. Very realistic looking. Thanks.

I feel absolutely gorgeous! After struggling with my eyebrows for years, I was very hesitant about getting an eyebrow tattoo. Every morning, I faced challenges using various products to recreate my sparse brows, but nothing ever looked good. I knew I needed help, so I started researching options. I discovered Kindra's work online, and during our consultation, she reassured me by presenting modern eyebrow tattoo options that looked natural, just as I wanted. Her experience and attention to detail eased my fears. The tattooing process was painless for me, thanks to the numbing cream; it felt no worse than waxing or plucking, in my opinion. Once I got home, and in the days that followed, I couldn't believe how beautiful I felt! I found myself looking in the mirror to admire my new brows, wearing less makeup overall, and experiencing a newfound confidence in my appearance. I recently had my touch-up appointment, where she checked healing and made any necessary adjustments. The picture I took immediately afterward shows how fabulous my results look, even with some expected light fading. I am extremely happy with the outcome! I'm now even considering other natural-looking enhancements, which I never thought I would. Thank you, Kindra, for your positivity, kindness, and expertise. You truly understand the importance of getting it right and listening to your clients. read more

I had an eyeliner tattoo done by Britt who was very knowledgeable in choosing the right design for a mature woman who has a very small lid. I was impressed with the meticulous work and care she did. She listened to what look I wanted and it looks very natural! Im happy! Its the 2nd Permanent makeup done at Daela and highly recommend it. Trust their work read more

I had a great experience at DAELA! Taylin Perkins was my tattoo artist and I can't express how much I not only enjoyed her professionalism and her enthusiasm but her love for her job. I had done my own research on microblading and shading but Taylin walked me through the different styles and end results of each. We both selected the style that would look best for my face and for the results I wanted. Wow! I couldn't be happier with the results, my eyebrows look amazing, natural and masculin. Thank you Taylin! I highly recommend that if you're thinking about this proceder run, don't walk and make that appointment you'll be happy you did. Thanks!! Art read more

Pierced my 1 1/2 yo olds ears with ease!!! This is truly the best way to have your child's ears pierced.

I really love my baby wing eyeliner tattoo from DAELA. Angela was amazing! I wasn't really sure what style would go well with my face when I walked in and Angela was so knowledgeable in helping me find the right style of eyeliner. She was very attentive and so detail oriented and meticulous with her tattooing. She explained every step clearly and I appreciated her sharing her professional knowledge and experience with me. I LOVE LOVE how my tattoo eyeliner came out and she did such a beautiful job. Thank you! So happy I found this place! read more

This is my 3rd service with Daela. Today I had my eyebrows done they turned out marvelous!!!

This is the second time I've come to Angela for work, and honestly, if I lived in another state, I'd get on a plane just to book with her. Angela is extraordinarily talented in her craft. She has exceptional bedside manner- making you feel comfortable, explaining each step as she works, and truly listening to your goals and preferences. Beyond being a remarkable artist, she's simply a wonderful person. If you're considering permanent eyeliner, I cannot recommend Angela highly enough. read more

The location is easy to find. street parking and just around the corner is a parking lot. The ambiance of this facility is not only beautiful, but has the feel of a serene spa! My personal experience with staff was fantastic. Friendly, warm and professional. I had the nanoblading and requested a very natural look. Erica listened to me and asked me some questions before she started the process. Frankly, I anticipated some pain, but was pleasantly surprised how comfortable this actually was! The numbing cream did it's job and I honestly was pain free. My brows are healing nicely and I can't wait to see the finished/healed product! Love this place!!! read more

DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo - 7 days post nanoblading. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Portland, Oregon

What a wonderful experience with Angela & my first eyeliner enhancement tattoo. The consultation was incredibly detailed and not rushed at all. She explained everything, as she worked her magic. This procedure was a raffle item that I fortunately won. I probably would not have had this done prior- but I'm so happy I did!! Thank you Angela and the entire DAELA staff. -Tori G read more

After a year of hesitation, research, and Instagram scrolling, I finally got my eyebrows done at DAELA. I only wish I'd got them done sooner! Taylin was my artist and did an incredible job!! I went in thinking I wanted nano or combo brows, but Taylin took the time to compare my natural brows and my goals against each option and we ultimately decided on powder brows. She mapped some sample hair stokes on to help me feel confident in my choice, and we talked about the option to layer on some hair strokes at my touch up appointment if I change my mind. I'm about 1 month out from my appointment and my brows have healed beautifully. I LOVE how natural they look and how much time I save not having to fill them in every morning. Thinking about having my lips done next! read more

Oh! My! Goodness!!!!! I have wanted to get my eyebrows tattooed for the LONGEST time, because of my Alopecia, they have been disappearing (and Im at that age where... well... 'stuff' happens anyway lol) - but I hemmed and hawed because I was just so nervous! Today I had my appointment at Daela Tattoo and it could not have gone better!! In fact it EXCEEDED my expectations!! First of all, its dead easy to get to - AND they give you a code so you can park for free in the lot right behind the studio! Secondly, when you walk in, its so nice and bright and the front desk gal is SO nice and offered me something to drink (water or hot tea!!!) and let me know my artist would be with me shortly. MY artist was Amie - She was absolutely PHENOMENAL!! I explained to her that I didnt want big chunky eyebrows, and because I might be letting my hair go grey in the next year or so, I didnt want super dark eyebrows. We chatted and she understood exactly what I meant, and then she got to work. First she put numbing cream on my eybrows!! (Ive had tattoos before and never was I offered numbing cream!!) and then she measured and drew the eyebrows on, so I could see what they would look like. The outline looked good... so then she got to work. She was so gentle and she did 3 layers (because I had very little eyebrows there so she wanted to build the colour up a layer at a time). And she put more numbing cream on before each new layer!! It took about an hour and half from start to finish - it wasnt that long really and the tattooing made me sleepy (because there was no pinching all you can feel is the buzzing of the tattoo pen, and it kind of lulls you lol) When she was done, she wiped away all the excess and then handed me the mirror. I started to cry. They looked EXACTLY how I imagined them and how I wanted them to look and they looked soooo natural and JUST the way I usually painstakingly draw them on - you wouldnt know that they are tattoed on!!!! My eyebrows are BEAUTIFUL!!! I go back in about 7 weeks for a 'touch up' (and to see how they are doing) and I might possibly get hairs put on (nanoblading) too... but we'll see. As they are right now, I love them!! They are the perfect colour and perfect shape and not big and boxy ... and they are just PERFECT!!! Did I say they were Perfect?? Oh yeah... they are... lol Daela is STELLAR and Amie is a ROCKSTAR!!! read more

Avery was very professional, kind and helped me relax! from the first touch, scheduling with Daela was thoughtful and organized. They sent advanced directions so I knew exactly where to be and what to expect. Avery did an incredible job communicating, putting me ant ease and helping with my skin. She made sure I was comfortable the entire time too. She's extremely competent and well trained. I will be seeing her for further services. I look forward to returning! read more

Went in to have lips and brows done. Both came out amazing and natural looking. Pain was minimal on both procedures and healing a breeze. They spend a lot of time mapping and explaining the procedure to help you feel comfortable. The spa is very clean, spacious and all the technicians are very professional and specialize in what they do. If you are thinking about having something like this done....it's worth it and this is a place you can feel comfortable getting it done. read more

Over the decades my eyebrows have become both sparse and grey in places. I also don't like, or wear, make-up--applying "dirt" onto a clean face never made sense to me--so, permanent, subtle-yet-defined brows were, for me, a necessity. Kindra patiently listened to what I wanted to achieve; natural-looking, subtle brows that would enhance my face nicely. She applied her expert skills and absolutely aced it and they look great! I couldn't be more pleased and I strongly suggest you appoint with her for your Nano brows...and too, Kindra is a living doll! read more
