Andy is amazing! Every visit is bespoke to one's skin and needs. He listens and is incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Andy is thorough, thoughtful and detailed. His microdermabrasion and VI peels keep my skin looking great! I never feel rushed when arriving or leaving. His office is clean and professional, but relaxing and welcoming at the same time. read more

I just moved to Portland from San Francisco. I was so pleased to find Andy. He is an amazing aesthetician. My treatment was comparable to what I would receive at top MedSpas in SF but I would say even better. Beautiful and welcoming decor. Exceptional customer service and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. read more

VA-VA-VOOM! Or OOH-LA-LA! I think that just about explains the quality of the lash extension service I had! I am not a make-up person and I already had lengthy lashes so I never thought about trying extensions. But when a deal came up on Sharing Spree I thought why not! I spoke with my tech Andy prior to my appointment and he explained what to expect also a few do's and dont's. Upon arrival the staff was very welcoming! In immediately and the results.....FABULOUS! It was about a two hour appointment in a very comfy setting! I think I dozed off a few times even! LOVE MY LASHES!! read more

Facial Architect - Eyelash Extensions by Andy!! - Day Spas Near Me - Portland, Oregon

From the moment you walk in the door, you are treated like royalty. To the 'Candy Bar' to greet you and munch on while you wait, to the free mimosa or glass of wine, to not rushing me out the door as just another appointment. I felt like a valuable customer the entire time. David the owner was congenial and captivating, with a great sense of humor. I received a massage from Phillip who came in on his day off. Little did I know he just had a baby that week when I asked if they could do a massage for me after my first marathon. So very accommodating, and the 90 minute massage was wonderful- with heated towels too! I also has a Facial- which was wonderful. But not as appreciated as the massage with my soreness. Their prices are also reasonable for what they offer! read more

Skin Tight Spa is professional & trendy! They provide a variety of services. I highly recommend Philip, who is a massage therapist there. Not only does he provide you with out standing customer service. His massages are beyond amazing! Thank you Skin Tight Spa!!! read more

Great friendly service, lovely decor. close my eyes and let the serenity take over. I travel from California for this relaxing and enjoyable escape.... And for the free York peppermints! read more

Oh my! This place is fabulous! Very professional and highly effective service. Andy is at the top of his game and has a master technique, the best products and awesome high-tech machines (LED/microderm/infusion) in his arsenal. The location is perfect, too. Close to many cute cafes and a walkable neighborhood.Thank you so much! read more

Had the most relaxing facial ever. Slept off during the facial and woke up to the most glowing skin ever. Andy takes the time to listen n work on the face, a genius architect read more

I love this place! This was my first place I've been to and I was scared. Andy helped me feel comfortable and educated me on every step, process and what to expect. I never leave having questions, he answers everything without having to ask. Great prices and such a relaxing environment! Thank you for everything! read more

Best lashes, DermaSweep, & Chemical Peels, I've ever had. I've tried several places (e.g. Portland, Lake Oswego, Macadam, Beaverton, Vancouver) by far Andy is the best around. read more

Amazing! Have been coming here every 3-4 weeks for over a year for my lash extensions! Will admit I tried other places twice (due to my schedule) but always came back and will not go anywhere else again! read more

A friend of mine recommended skintight. I decided to try them out before my honeymoon. From the moment you walk in you feel relaxed even when getting waxed. The scheduling process is easy and the staff is friendly. The service is truly exceptional and they are always happy to see you. I have been back twice and Skintight is now "my place." read more

So I'm writing another review because I had an amazing customized facial today. The facial came with some very relaxing massage as well. Korysa is such a professional and she really seems to know what she is doing. She talked to me about my wants, needs and expectations before the facial. Then after the facial she explained what I need to do at home to maintain/improve my skin. I also got microdermabrasion there. I am excited to work with Skin Tight Spa and Korysa to get my skin looking perfect! read more

I've been getting the DermaSweep treatments for about 6 months and my skin has never looked better. I actually get compliments on it! The treatments are gentle yet very effective. I love that i don't look all red and crazy when I leave! The spa itself is intimate and sparkling clean. Andy is very knowledgable about what he's doing and a real pleasure to be with. I recommend this place to all my friends! read more

Found this gem on Yelp and it's a great find. Andy is very nice and professional. He was able to get me in quickly for the service I wanted. (Vi peel) I think his prices are reasonable. His studio is awesome. Definitely my new go to spa for skin care. read more

After receiving a referral from my friend Katie I made my appointment. I am in love with my lashes from Skin Tight Spa. Andy does an amazing job and they stay on while looking natural. I receive at least one compliment each day on how gorgeous the lashes are and most people have to ask if they are real. I'm addicted to the convenience and glamorous look they give me. The service Andy provides is fantastic! read more

Andy is amazing and very knowledgable! I went there for a facial and when I left my face was glowing and still is 2 weeks later !! I'm glad I gave skin tight spa a try !! Can't wait for my next facial !! Thanks Andy ! read more

Poor lash tinting job as compared to other places in Portland. Stylist seemed inexperienced. She did not let the tint sit on my lashes and it did not last more than a week. She also poked and prodded at them.. Possibly trying to clean tint off my skin, I'm not sure, but it resulted in my most painful (as far as eyes burning/ tearing up) tint yet. Wouldn't trust her again. read more

Fantastic!! This spa is beautiful and posh and Andy is as knowledgable as they come. He took the time to ask a lot of questions and get to know me and then make a plan of action for my treatment. You can tell he loves what he does and has a passion for skin care and esthetics! Totally exceeded my expectations. I will be back as a regular and would recommend Skin Tight Spa to anyone! read more

Unfortunately I had a series of poor service here. This is the first negative review I have ever given any business. Since there were so many incredibly unprofessional things happening, it's best to list it in order: 1). I scheduled an appointment for eyelash extension, shellac manicure and a pedicure 2 months in advance for 10am. The hours posted say 9am - sometime in the evening, but at 10:15, the doors were still locked. I got a call a couple of hours later saying that there was no record of my appointment. 2.) I rescheduled for a week later. Then got a call the next day saying that they're actually closed for a PR event in the morning and wanted to change my new 10am appointment (this time for a cut/extensions/shellac mani/and pedi) to 2:30pm. I said I had a meeting nearby at 6:30 and they guaranteed - numerous times - that it could be done in time. I was doubtful, but said okay. 3.) When I showed up, they were still filming the PR spot. My appointment ran 30 minutes late. I had to sit on a barstool in the corner (then was asked to move and stand in the corner) so I wouldn't be in their commercial. Perhaps I should have just left then. 4.) Both people working were then confused why I had so many services in such a short time frame and I was told they simply couldn't do it all in that time. I opted for a quick cut, shellac mani only (with no lotion/massage/etc.), no pedicure, and eyelash extensions to get it done in time. 5.) For the haircut, I was asked when I was seated, "You know it's dry cut only, right?" No, I wasn't told that (and I have curly hair). The reason? They don't have stations installed yet. The "cut" took 10 minutes max. 6.) They had no tinfoil to remove existing shellac and only four of the new strips to remove it. The manicure was okay. 7.) The eyelash extensions were very nice. 8.) I had already paid in advance for these services. However, since I'd paid for a package shellac mani/pedi combo I told them I would pay then for the manicure and come back in 2 weeks for the combo I'd already paid for. I was charged a total of $55 for the manicure - $40 for a "manicure" and an additional $15 for shellac. I've never been charged $55 for a no-frills shellac in my life. 9.) I just called to schedule the mani/pedi combo and was told their "nail station won't be ready for another month or so, but would I like to schedule for the end of September?" No. I'm just going to take a loss on what I've already bought. Overall, the service is perhaps the worst I've ever experienced. Exceptionally unprofessional and unorganized. It's unfortunate because the location is good for me and the eyelash extension work is very good. However, when I do get compliments on my eyelashes, I have to tell people my experience and I recommend them to another salon that does similar quality work without repeated bad service. read more

Skin Tight Spa keeps their game tight in numerous ways. The facility is beautiful and clean, and all the housekeeping/administration for my visit was painless - almost as painless as my waxing session! Korysa is exacting and systematic in her approach to hair removal, which is a lovely change of pace from the slap-dash waxing done in nail salons of ill repute. Beyond her excellent work, Korysa is highly concerned with her clients' comfort, and is excellent at creating a fun and easy-going vibe around a procedure that is painful by necessity. To say that I'm in love with Skin Tight Spa might be an understatement of how I really feel for the place! read more

Andy and Karissa are absolute angels! Andy gives the most detailed and wonderful microdermabrasion treatments. It feels like a lose couple of years after each treatment. Karissa is Portland's #1 airbrush tan artist. The spa ambiance is darling, classy and modern. Also, they advised me in permanent removal of a very serious burn scar, and helped me purchase the Skin Medica TNS serum. If you have a serious scar, the TNS serum available at Skin Tight is a MUST (this was less than 5 layers from 3rd degree, now I have no scar). read more

Jen at STS is my go to girl for waxing. She is professional, experienced and has a great sense of humor.

Hands down the best spa in Portland. Excellent menu catering to both men and women with a extremely knowledgeable staff that is eager to help and educate. Truly a spa experience you won't regret! read more

I have never ever written a negative review of any business, but I feel people need to know... I had eyelash extensions done 10 days ago. I only have one left on the corner of my right eye (In the picture I have about 4 left - the long ones) I am VERY, VERY, VERY disappointed. I took great care of them and followed all the after care instructions. I avoided water for 48hrs and then when I showered about half of them fell off. These are supposed to be waterproof and the glue is supposed to set in 24hrs. I called and she kept assuring me that this is "normal" for your first set and that my lashes are "just getting used to them". I am sorry but something is wrong when the ENTIRE set falls off 10 days later! She also used "rubbing alcohol" on my eyes, which burned and my eyes were red and goopy for several days. She also assured me this is "normal". I tried calling the spa several times today and no one is answering the phone. I also stopped by in person and the door was locked. It is Saturday afternoon. Their hours on the door states they are open on Saturday. I wanted to have them look at my eyelashes because I only had a couple left dangling on. I would like my money back! Don't waste your money here, go somewhere else! Initially, I was not happy with the shape. They made my eyes look small and round. I wanted to have longer ones on the corners added, but then the extensions started to fall off! I went here because it had good reviews...What happened? It makes me wonder... I have been trying to call all day. What kind of spa is closed on Saturday? No note was left on the door... and the door hours say they are open...? NOT a good experience! I want a refund! read more

This was by far the worst experience I've had at a salon or spa. My friend and I booked services weeks in advance to spend a spa day together, and she made our appointments for conncurrent manicures/pedicures and facials so we could visit during the nail service. We were told to expect to be there 2- 2.5 hours. When we arrived, we were told they only had one technician for nails available and she would have to do our services back to back while the other person had her facial. While not happy, we decided to be ok with this. Then my friend was taken back for her facial and I listened to the nail technician explain to her coworker in exasperated tones how she was the only one there and because she "had to" take care of us she would not be able to see several other clients that were booked. He told her to call them and tell them they couldn't come. I started to feel guilty for even being there! This conversation should never happen in front of customers. When I went back for my nail services, the chair I was seated in was hard, upright plastic, similar to a lawn chair - very uncomfortable after the first hour and awkward for having to have my feet up. I was told I could not have a french manicure because they did not have the right brush. During the pedicure, she literally rubbed the skin off of both my big toes with the file. When I told her this she blamed this file and said it was too sharp. The pedicure and manicure took a full two hours. My friend was brought in after her facial to wait and we were able to visit a bit, however when I was finished I sat there for about twenty minutes waiting for my facial. A different woman came in and said "who needs the facial?" I said I did and she explained that she's "somehow" been double booked and needed to just go do a spray tan on another customer and she'd be back in "just a minute". Thirty minutes later I was still sitting there. By this time we'd been there three hours and I told them to forget the facial as I had to work that evening and couldn't be leaving NW Portland at 4:30. They cancelled the appointment but there was no apology. Meanwhile, the business office was across from the nail room and we could hear the owner on the phone apologizing to various customers for other issues. When my friend was finally done, the nail tech did not even walk us out to the lobby, and we stood there for several minutes being ignored while another employee arranged merchandise on the shelves before he deigned to take our money so we could leave. I'm not sure how long they will stay in business if this is their customer service model, but I certainly will not be returning. ******* 6/16/13 After reading the unprofessional and immature response from the owner of this establishment, I can now understand why we had the experience we did. I have never in my life treated a service industry employee with disrespect and everything I illustrated in my review is exactly what happened. You will notice he didn't refute one word of the problems we experienced but instead tried to make the argument about us and our nonexistent rude behavior. Perhaps in the last year they have gotten their act together and if so I wish them the best. read more

For my first visit to Skin Tight Spa, I was very impressed. This spa is handsomely decorated, and there is a warm vibe. I work graveyard at my job, and get off work at 8:00 am. Andy was very nice to accommodate me and book my session at 9:00 am. The location is very easy to find. It is just a quick stop off of the street car, or if you are driving, a swift drive through the Pearl District of Portland. I have had lots of work done on my face (no plastic surgery). There have been so many chemical peels, micro-dermabrasions, pixels, solar panels, etc.... I was a client of Forever Young where I received all those services. If you don't know the story about Forever Young, I'll give it to you in a nut shell. Forever Young was a company that based their products in the spa/tanning industry. They offered their services at highly discounted prices and claimed you would achieve amazing results. Well flash forward to 2013, they closed their business abruptly one night (we are talking about 4-5 locations that served over 20,000 people), and now owe hundreds of thousands of dollars in uncompleted serviced to their large clientele. Just wait, it gets even better. There have been over 800 complaints filed with the Attorney General myself included, and the Attorney General has launched an internal investigation with Forever Young. The owners, Ron and Jennifer Zemp, robbed many people of their money. Their services were offered at very cheap prices, but the quality of these services were horrible. The estheticians were not trained properly, the products such as the lazer equipment and chemical peels and micro-dermabrasions were poor (you had to buy more to get better results meaning the more you spend, the better it will be, and the Zemps pocketed more money from you), and every appointment felt rushed. Forever Young had a huge clientele base, and with such a vast amount of people paying for services, they had to get people in and out fast. I dropped over $5,000 at Forever Young, and the only thing I had to show for it was darker skin and over 100 treatments done to my face. I am very fortunate that I do not look like I had a horrible face lift from a foreign country. Back track to Skin Tight Spa. You are wondering why I made such a spiel about Forever Young. Well, I love to get these types of services done. They improve my self esteem I have about my physical appearance, and I take care of myself. After being a client of Forever Young for 6+ years and the sham they were running, I became very skeptic of any spa's. It took about a good year for me to really start looking for a reputable business that wouldn't pick pocket you for money. One day, I met Andy Hillis who owns Skin Tight Spa. I told him about my ordeal with Forever Young and what I was looking for. Andy was very sympathetic to my situation, and he informed me on Skin Tight Spa. Andy has had every laser, chemical peel, and micro-dermabrasion done. He knows what he is talking about. You can tell just from talking to him about his services how much knowledge he has. Andy is like the Einstein of the spa industry. Now let me tell you about my sessions with Andy. Skin Tight Spa is beautifully decorated and has a warm vibe. The minute you walk in the door, Andy greets you with a huge smile and asks how your day is going. I sit down on a comfortable sofa and fill out the usual paperwork. Then we proceed to the back room to have my Dermasweep done. Bare in mind, I am one of those weirdos who have an extremely ticklish face. I forewarned Andy and he laughed and said it was fine. He started me off with a very nice facial that cleansed my skin. I almost fell asleep because it was so relaxing. Afterwards, the fun begins. He started the Dermasweep, and the giggles ran out of my mouth like I was at a triathlon. Andy had the patience of a saint with my tickling fit and took breaks when I needed. I could feel quite a difference between Andy's products and the ones Forever Young used. Forever Young was rushed, job not completed 100%, areas missed, the machine was poor quality, and they kick you out the door. With Andy, I could tell he was getting every single section on my face, he was taking his time, talked to me while I was charading with giggles because of being so ticklish, the quality of the machine was so much better then Forever Young's, and overall a nice and comfortable session. Afterwards, I walked to the mirror and saw the results. The blood had risen to the surface like it should have. That means it did its job. Collagen produced, I am a happy camper! I definitely recommend Andy At Skin Tight Spa. From someone being ripped off at Forever Young, you can trust Andy and Skin Tight Spa! read more

Skin Tight Spa is my new favorite place. The space is gorgeous. There is ample free parking, which in my opinion starts things out right! The staff is friendly and helpful--there were even treats and beverages. I had an amazing massage with Philip who has become my favorite (and only) massage therapist. He takes time to make sure he knows what the client wants, hits the sore spots and checks along the way to make sure the pressure is correct. An hour massage is great, but I always splurge and go for the hour and a half. This is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon. read more

I don't know a lot about skin care being in accounting, but Andy has managed to work his magic to make my skin look clearer and younger. Not only does he know exactly what to do, he works to ensure that results occur and people can see changes. I would never use products or procedures unless they were through Andy. Simply the absolute best! read more

I had a wonderful spray tan experience at Skin Tight Spa. As soon as you walk in you feel relaxed! I went right to the candy bar and was offered something to drink - it was great! My spray tan lasted quite a while and looked very natural - I highly recommend this place! read more

Very pleased with my visit to Skin Tight Spa. Was visiting from out of town, but Andy treated me just like I was his top customer. It was completely unexpected, but before even touching my face, Andy sat me down for a personalized skin care consultation (included with facial price) so that he could better understand why I was there, what my skin care needs were, and what kind of results I wanted to see. I haven't had a skin care specialist this thorough in years. As a result, I did not receive some cookie cutter facial designed for "most" skin types, but rather a pampering session designed exclusively for me. I was also much more relaxed going into the session and able to enjoy it much more. The spa's gorgeous and calming decor also helped with this. Do not live in Portland, but would not hesitate to return next time I am in town. read more

Andy is amazing! His personal touch and customer care is beyond exceptional. I've been a client of his for many years and he always deliver the best care for my face. His attention to detail and knowledge about clinical facial treatments is incredible. I love his spa, because it's so clean, modern, and welcoming unlike a lot of other spas I have been to. Andy's service and products make me feel younger and beautiful every day. I used to spend so much money on other name branded skincare lines and they never helped my face feel young and fresh until I saw Andy. He was able to pair my face with a perfect skincare line for a perfect radiant face every day. I recently had a baby and I won't leave the house before I apply what Andy told me to use because I know he knows what's best for my face! Thank you Andy! I can't wait to come back for my next treatment. I highly recommend The Facial Architect, by Andy any day! read more

I love, love, my lashes and facial! Andy is amazing! He's so professional and friendly. His attention to detail is amazing! I really enjoyed the extra time he spent making sure that I was completely satisfied with my lashes and skin care treatment. I have been to many spas for facials and Skin Tight Spa is the best in Portland!! I would recommend him to everybody. I am a big fan! Thanks Andy, you're the best! I will see you soon!! read more

Andy was super knowledgable and informative. His space is really cool too and he feeds you truffles :) I have gotten. SEVERAL compliments today at work. He was also great at working with me when pregnant! read more

I really loved this place! I got an airbrush tan from Karissa (spelling?) and she was very friendly and professional. I love my airbrush tan and I also loved the price! I will definitely be going back for my spa needs! read more

Skin Tight Spa is wonderful!! My 16 year old daughter and I went to Skin Tight Spa today - she got a mani/pedi and I got a facial and we were both extremely impressed with this place. The whole experience from start to finish was friendly and relaxed yet very professional and couldn't have been better. read more

I just had my first facial with Andy (redefining facial). It was 70 mins of heaven. From the moment I walked in, Andy was warm and gracious. He took the time to talk to me about my skin and what I wanted to achieve long term. As we chatted I filled out a small profile sheet which took about 10 minutes and then it was back to my facial. Not only was my face treated, but I got a massage across my shoulders and my scalp. There was nothing at all that Andy did that made me uncomfortable, so for anyone who is nervous about a facial, I say go see Andy. He has magic hands and fingers and when I left I not only felt rejuvenated, but my skin felt so clean and soft. I have already booked my second appointment. I highly recommend STS. read more
