Travis has Alopecia and…read morewhile 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!

I'm back with another review because this place continues to deliver. I had lip blushing done this…read moreyear 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.

I have a bachelor's degree plus and had a long and successful career in PR. I did not have the time or interest in a two or four year program.

The founder and her staff are genuinely invested in the students and the program. If you're just starting out or like me, looking to pivot your career, I heartily recommend considering the Heritage program.

This place is perfect - Becca has the greatest environment for getting your creative juices flowing - chocolate, wine and great music! I came here with a group of gals looking for a fun time that wasn't your usual "Girls Night Out" - exactly what we received! Her studio is a great space where you can create anything you like - earrings, jewelry, belt buckles, coasters, trivets, display pieces, and anything you can think of! Becca has an incredible assortment of glass, colors, frit, and the possibilities are endless. Becca is a great instructor that encourages everyone to just go with the flow - she can help generate ideas, but is also in great support of letting you do your thing. Let her know what you need and she will have 5 ideas for you! She has lots of examples and visuals on the wall that help you get some ideas. Jennifer Wells Design is a hidden gem - the decorating pottery thing is so cliche, this is not! Once you complete your item(s), she will fire it in her kilns on site and have it ready for your pick up. The piece I made turned out awesome and I can't wait to get back there to make something else!

Over the past 10 years Tracey has been so helpful for my son by teaching me how to handle difficult…read morebehaviors, so that he had more engaged and understanding parents. I went back during my divorce, when I really needed perspective, to raise my kids without having a more stressful divorce than one naturally is. This was so good for them and me. My current partner and I still have sessions now and then while blending a family. Tracey is an expert in exactly what she says she is on her website, and I would recommend her to anyone needing parenting interventions now or if you'd just like parenting to be more enjoyable for the whole family instead of a struggle. If you need more immediate crisis care there is a crisis line 988 nationally. Or you can google your county crisis lines. They are all listed on the National Alliance for Mental Illness as well. There are a few crisis walk in clinics in PDX, like via Cascadia. Tracey will help you with any hard subject, and I appreciate how boundaries are taught and kept very professionally. I've seen a ton of different providers over the years due to insurance changes, but I will always go back to Practical Parenting PDX for proven interventions and help to make parenting more fun.

After my son's two suicide attempts this year i found myself needing someone to talk to because of…read morethe anxiety of the ordeal and its impacts on my life and my family. I found this therapist on Yelp and being on Yelp, I called the number listed. She answered and was rude because apparently there's a portal system she uses to screen her clients which I didn't know about because I found her on Yelp. She was on speaker phone while my wife was with me and my wife noticed this from her as well that this was a particularly unpleasant way to go about any business, let alone mental health because nobody calling her number is having a good day But I try and I book the appointment anyway through the site before leaving town for five days for memorial day weekend. I came back last night and opened my email today to look for the link that was provided and found an email from yesterday that I'd not filled out the intake questionnaire and that it had to be filled out "before the appointment" as per the email. I then take the time to do so despite the fact that any day back from a vacation is going to be very busy and today was no exception but I did make the effort. Come the appointed time and again, juggling several things, I couldn't find the link and so I emailed tu get another one then immediately found it and logged on. I'm sitting there waiting for my appointment when I get an email from her and quickly respond without reading that I was waiting for the appointment in the video conference chat. And after waiting a few more minutes I go back to the email and see that apparently I had to have that done by 5pm the day before (which was not previously mentioned and also was when I was still driving back into town,) and so I needed to reschedule. And, annoyed at this perfunctory screening process and her tone and attitude at this point, I give it one last shot. Tonight I get an email saying that she'd been communicating so the to me clearly (again, she wasn't at any point clear on this overwrought process,) and because I wasn't listening to her directions (that she didn't give,) I "wouldn't be a good fit." I'm dumbfounded and I'm appalled. At the very least, if her business is going to be conducted through her website in a way where she is going to deny people who are coming to her for help, then these such stringent directions really need to be on there or at least on her page in Yelp but first and absolutely foremost, YOU'RE IN THE MENTAL HEALTH FIELD LADY, if you are in such a state of burnout that you can't muster a simple civil tone with people who are coming to you for help, then you need to find another career. Those directions weren't clear at any point. Her screening process is an unnecessary mess and needs an overhaul. Most inexcusable, her attitude is judgmental and condescending and for her to turn around and blame someone coming to her help for her messy business intake practices then that's just gaslighting and abusive. So she don't deserve to have any clients and I am taking the time to put this on a public forum because I dread anyone who comes to her at a point like where my son found himself, hanging by a thread and looking for help, to be treated like this by someone who trained for years to know better. My undergraduate degree was in psychotherapy and the reason I didn't pursue it was the burnout rate but having been in the boards of a couple of treatment centers in my old life, I know what that looks lilt in earnest. I can smell it. But so help me God, the only other time I've heard or seen of a therapist with this much animosity towards clients or potential clients was Richard Dreyfuss' character in What About Bob and that was a fictional character written as an indictment against the entire field of psychotherapy. And probably because of therapists just like this one. I dread for anyone who comes to this woman for help. She makes the whole field look bad.

I was greeted by a friendly woman at the front desk (the school is run by a family). They were running somewhat on time. My youngest child went back almost immediately. My older child waited about 20 minutes, despite both children having appointments. The students took their time to cut my children's hair (youngest was back about 1.25 hours). I also like the fact that a shampoo is included in the price. Anna cut my youngest son's hair. I could hear her speaking to him and making sure he was comfortable. My son would smile at me occasionally. I will update with my eldest son's experience. CPI is the place to go if you're looking for affordable barber services. The owner supervises the students on the floor, showing them the correct techniques and overseeing their work. Where I'm from, I have never seen such care put into the student's craft.
