Andrea has been amazing. I just finished my 5th (maybe final) treatment last week on a back piece…read morethat was about 11" x 11" in size. This is my second removal - the other from a different place and Untattoo Parlor exceeded my last experience tenfold. I really appreciate they way Andrea help me understand ever part of the procedure both during and around aftercare between sessions. The discomfort was actually quite minimal given what is involved and having the area itch for a few days afterward was really the worst of it. Really can't say enough good things about them.

I'm honestly still processing what happened to me here. Let's just say Aimee Aplin seemed far more…read moreinterested in my body than actually doing her job. She looked up my dress while I was lying on the table. I had my legs crossed, hands in my lap, and everything. Oh, and the way she kept checking out my chest? Subtlety is clearly not her strong suit. As for the actual treatment, I got home and realized the lasers barely touched the shaded part of my tattoo (on my neck). I guess attention to detail is optional? She's a nurse, so you'd assume she knows what she's doing. But after she hit a nerve and I let her know I was in pain, stopping didn't seem to be a priority for her. When she pulled the needle out, my shoulder twitched in pain, and then she kept tapping the same area half a dozen more times, making my shoulder twitch over and over, as if she was checking to see if I'd do it again. On both of my visits, she "missed" the same spot with the lidocaine, and when I was obviously in pain, she just kept going, even though on the first session, she said she would stop and put in more lidocaine if that happened. She didn't bother to make that same offer the second time. I also had to ask her to put tape over the plastic wrap, which she didn't do the first time either. She basically said, oh, it's going to fall down and it's up to you to figure it out. Aimee, if you're unhappy, maybe try a spa day instead of taking it out on your patients, especially the ones paying your bills. Trans people, I can't say this enough: save your money. Honestly, women in general might want to think twice, since she went out of her way to share her insecurities about getting older. She acted out of jealousy toward me being young, so I'd bet I'm not the only one who got that special treatment.

Hands down this is the best tattoo removal clinic in the Portland metro area. The location is…read moregreat, easy on, easy off I-205 and they offer the best laser available in the market and very fair pricing. Stacey the owner operator is a registered nurse and her facility is beautiful and very clean. She provides you with a take home follow up cream pharmaceutically designed to fade tattoos. It's requires a prescription to purchase, this is where the nurse comes into play and she prescribes the cream. I know the cream helps, but the laser is where the real work is done to remove the ink. The treatment is not painless, but very minimal. I think I'm one maybe two treatments away from being completely tattoo free :)

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.

I had a few cherry angioma's on my torso (that is not me in the photo). They're harmless (found…read moremostly on fair skinned people) but weird (for lack of a better word). 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 received 6 rounds of laser on my face and chest from these people two years ago. All the hair on…read moremy face is still there. Moreover, they used an excessive amount of force when pressing the laser against my skin. At the time, I was ignorant of the process and did not know this was not how laser worked. I believe this was deliberate sexual assault. When I spoke about this to my plastic surgeon, he seemed to think that perhaps these people did not know how to use the laser. Paul has responded saying that I did not complain at the time. This is a deliberate falsehood. I complained that he used too much force, then I complained that his wife used too much force, and eventually I gave up and allowed neither one of them near my breasts so they could not harm me that way anymore. Paul has also said I was abrasive, directly contradicting his remark that there were no complaints. Finally, Paul claims that more than 6 rounds of laser should be necessary for full reduction -- however, the laser did not remove a single hair.

I only went for a consultation and decided to go somewhere else. I didn't get a removal done here,…read moreso this is not a review of services. I shopped around quite a bit and this consultation was by far the most deflating. So obviously I hate my tattoo and showing it makes me feel vulnerable, I felt immediately judged by the owner who is also the tech. She made an audible sound when she saw it and then she shared that given the size of my tattoo it will be super hard to remove. She emphasized how painful it was going to be and how "patients have run screaming from my office and not come back." I asked how many and she said 2. She said that while she can't remove it all she will "go at it and blast it" and that I was guaranteed to blister and bleed. She noted that she offers no pain management at all. I get it - tat removal is not an enjoyable process but her negativity was palpable. Her prices are on the lower side (gave her a star for that). Other than that there were no positives in that consultation. I left feeling scared, upset, and ultimately took another month to research and consider more options. I went with another removal clinic in Portland that had an amazingly positive and optimistic tech. They complimented me on my tattoo while also letting me know that it was possible to remove 95%. They use PicoSure laser which works great on color. They use medical grade ice before and during the process, frequent breaks and the rep suggested that she tackles different sections per visit so my immune system isn't overwhelmed and the pain is isolated to different areas. Genius! I got a full removal package so they are doing more sessions for the same price vs "blasting it" I've been there 3 times and guess what - no blisters and no blood! All other places I visited emphasized healthy skin after removal and so the more treatments / lower frequency laser the better. Don't go somewhere that promises pain, blisters and blood! I know every person and tattoo removal is unique but I suggest you go somewhere with a positive tech that offers pain management and a goal of healthy skin at the end even if it's a little more time and money.

I have very sensitive skin, which made me skeptical at first, but Josefina guided me through the process and explained all the benefits in detail. Not only am I hair-free, but my skin actually looks so much better than before. I have a darker complexion, and with my skin's sensitivity, almost anything would cause inflammation and hyperpigmentation -- but since starting the treatments, I've noticed my skin is far less irritated and looks noticeably more even-toned. What really sets Josefina apart is her professionalism and genuine care for her clients. She always followed up with me to make sure I was doing well after each session. She and her team are warm, welcoming, and truly wonderful people. On top of all that, the pricing is very reasonable compared to other options out there. I highly recommend Josefina to anyone considering laser hair removal -- especially if you have sensitive skin. You will not regret it!
