Worth every penny!

I've been going to Doreen the wax qeen for years but like everyone else right now, I thought I could save a few bucks and try one of those home waxing kits. Let me just say I learned my lesson the painful, messy, time consuming way! Doreen you are worth every penny PLUS a handsome tip!

• Pros: fast and painless

GREAT Waxing Service!

by v999 at Citysearch

Being a newcomer to Portland, I trusted Citysearch to find a place to get a bikini wax. I scheduled a Brazilian wax with Doreen at The Face Place based upon Citysearch reviews. The Face Place is in a lovely location in the Pearl District and the facility itself is clean and inviting. Doreen is professional, friendly and is an excellent waxing technician. She made it as painless and as comfortable as possible. She was very personable and down to earth. I concur with a previous reviewer that she is indeed “The Wax Queen”! I received respectful, outstanding service with amazing results.

• Pros: professional, courteous service & spotlessly clean location
• Cons: none

I love the face place, Doreen is a sweetheart and great at what she does. I came here to leave stellar review and saw the one below and I'm not sure if that person had a freak one time experience there, or just has a bad attitude or what, but I've seen Doreen multiple times and have several friends that do as well and she is always great.

Being in the industry I know what it's like to not have a receptionist and have people expect you to have openings that day, or have gotten your call at 9pm the night before for your appointment tomorrow. sometimes it's just not possible to get to all the messages and deal with appointments and walkins.

I've never known Doreen to scream or huff, i can't even picture it. she's the sweetest lady and made me feel right at home.

even distracts me from the painful service i'm getting done! remembers things about me and has squeezed me in for last minute appointments.

she is very professional, her space is beautiful and i highlly recommend her.

she also gives a discount for bringing cash or check!
