She saved me when my adult acne was out of control, before my wedding, and when I became pregnant and my skin went nuts. I've been offered free or reduced deals other places, but I could never leave Patty. If you want to heal your skin inside and out, Facing Grace is the most professional and relaxing place you could find in Portland.

She took the time to respectfully inquire about my current skincare routine (she didn't judge when I said Mary Kay), and over time she has earned my trust and I now use a Dermalogica routine that she handpicked for me. Wow!! I get compliments on my skin almost daily and rarely feel the need to wear makeup because there's nothing to hide! Such an amazing feeling. I am a super satisfied and loyal client...for life!

I almost didn't go to this place because it didn't have a website. I'm a website girl - I like to…read moresee the pricing, I like to see pictures, and I'm just a computer nerd. Of course, that's a little bit of a catch-22 because if I hate your website, then I'm out. Overall, I'm so very glad that I did head to this adorable little place. I'll preface all this with saying that it was the first bikini wax ever - so I can't really say whether it was okay or not... of course, having nothing to compare it to, I'd say that it sucked. :) The leg wax was only the second of it's kind - and that too sucked. The first was only better because it involved copious amounts of wine. Why do we have to go through so much pain to be gorgeous? Well, we must do what we must do... and I will continue to go here while I continue to attempt outer beauty. The building is adorable, comfortable, and inviting and Heidi and Jill are as friendly as can be. I've got a facial all set up, and another waxing scheduled... so glad that I am not going to be shaving anymore. I hate that even more than waxing, and the girls at Bare make waxing about as good as it can be. Just keep thinking, I'm going to look gooooood.

Let's just get this out there: I'm a trans woman and they have been fantastic about it, including transitioning from old name to new (and associated pronouns) without skipping a beat. For that reason alone I'll give them five stars. Since that little demographic update I've gone back a few times and with different people, each one just as considerate as the last. I don't get a really complicated regimen done, but I've loved my brows every time and they have all helped at moving from bushy things to some pretty cool arches. Ripping hair off my chest is pretty standard I guess, it comes out. Additionally, after a pretty disastrous venture at the Sephora tutorial counter (no fault of Sephora staff...) I went to Bare for their makeup lessons. I wish I was better with names because the girl who helped me catch up on about 20 years of makeup practice was really sweet and kind even when dysphoria was kicking its ugly head up. I asked for a really basic, technique (not product) focused lesson and was quite happy with everything we went over.
