Andrea's Facials

08/25/2008 Posted by mwynton

I have been going to Andrea exclusively several times a year for 14 years. I have recommended her to all my friends & they love her too. The spa is a lovely, relaxing, beautiful experience. Andrea taught me how to care for my skin years ago, for which I am eternally grateful. Andrea is a wonderful person, a great friend and very knowledgeable about skin care. I'm very appreciative of Andrea's direct, clear & honest approach to advice on skin care & life! Andrea is a wonderful guide through the maze and expense of skin care. I will be seeing her for the rest of my life, no matter where I live.

Pros: Andrea. Ambience. Parking is a dream! Cost is very reasonable.

Cons: I dont get to go often enough!

I went, devotely, to Andrea for years when I lived in Portland. I have lived in LA now for 5 years and I STILL call her for advice and book an appt with her whenever I'm in town for more than a day. She truly CARES about your skin and will work diligently to find the right products for your skin type. When I started, my skin was breaking out all the time and very unbalanced. She worked out a program for me that has kept me virtually break-out free for years! I trust her implicitly with my skin AND I feel that she's become a friend in the process -- what a perk!

Pros: Everything!

Cons: a short drive from downtown Portland, but WELL worth it!

Andrea's Facials is the perfect place to go if you want personal attention from an experienced esthetician. Andrea spent a full three hours with me not only doing a fantastic facial but getting to know my skin and giving me a lesson on skin care. I really felt as if she wanted the best for me. I have been to popular spas for facials and while they were nice, it did not feel nearly as complete and personal as Andrea's facials are. Why go to a ritzy salon where you may be set up with a facialist with hardly any experience, she may have just graduated from beauty school! Andrea has been caring for skin for 18 years and it shows! Treat yourself to a wonderful facial and get the added benefit of a lesson in skin care treatment and maintenance! Thank you Andrea!

Pros: Personal service, high quality products, incredible knowledge and expertise from Andrea!

Cons: none

As a self proclaimed "spa junkie," I've experienced many facials from the Golden Door to the health club. Hands down my best, most relaxing and cleansing facials have been from Andrea. Her facility is clean, relaxing and private. She is so knowledgeable about skin issues and products but educates you in a very nuturing not clinical or high sales pressure environment. I've been going to her for over 4 years and highly recommend her to anyone but looking at my skin is the best testimonial.

Pros: Andrea's expertise and facilities

Cons: I wish she was on the west side.

Having a facial at Andrea's is a little slice of heaven! She not only has a divine touch during the facial, she is full of helpful advice tailored to your skin and lifestyle. In the five years I have been visitng Andrea's, my skin has improved so much! Andrea also carries a full line of products and she always has samples available to try before buying. Her eyebrow waxing technique is amazing! She really takes her time and the waxing is almost as relaxing as a facial. Most importantly, Andrea provides wonderful, customer service. It is always a pleasure to visit her salon!

Pros: Andrea!

Cons: Sometimes I come home TOOOO relaxed!

It makes me feel really lucky to have found Andrea. In the past, I have experienced hundreds of facials and tried what feels like half a zillion products. I've been zapped, blasted and deep cleansed with very few positive results. I had pretty much resolved myself to the fact that I have bad (not horrible) skin with uneven coloring and deep oil-filling pores. Andrea is a facial goddess. She has gently, over time, given me excellent advice that has changed my skin. It's very risky to step into an unfamiliar salon and try something new, but I am very glad that I did. I am grateful for Andrea and her non-salesy, common sense, mature approach to healing and nurturing my skin. Her shop is friendly,homey and non-threatening. For the sake of your skin (and your self image) give Andrea a try!

Pros: friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and down to earth approach

Cons: you might not want to leave

I have been going to Andrea's facials since 1990. The very best facial in Portland. Andrea is a true professional, she never "pushes" product, instead helping her clients with preventive care for the skin. I have always felt that Andrea is giving 100% of her knowledge and time with every client. Andrea's facials is truly a Portland treasure.

Andrea not only gives me the best facial I have ever had, she has taught me how to heal my skin. I have the typical oily, clogged t-zone. After years of scrubbing and using harsh cleansers the condition of my skin made me look older than I am. I have been seeing Andrea for 9 months and my skin is more hydrated, much less red and with very few break-outs. Andrea is very compassionate towards her clients. She takes the time to explain why she recommends techniques for healing the skin. While she offers wonderful products, she never pressures me to buy them. I really appreciate her intelligence, her attention to detail and her honesty.

One of my finest indulgences is having a facial. Really, no other beauty treatment that I participate in, gives me the feeling of well being, serenity, and cleanliness. I have lived in several different major cities and have tried many different spas. Although they were all wonderful, Andrea's techniques and her personal charm win the award for best facial in my experience. The atmosphere is calming, the products are wonderful, and Andrea is a perfectionist! My only regret is not being able to have facials more often!

Pros: Great atmosphere, products, personal attention, very detail oriented, no pressure to buy

Andrea with great concern and care was able to heal my skin. I never would have thought that possible. Now I enjoy healthy, stable skin without a complicated regime. It is so wonderful to be able to rely on her and her products and not to worry anymore. My friends have noticed the changes. My pores are smaller, the color is even, and it glows. Her approach to skin care works!! Her salon is lovely and inviting, and I always look forward to going to see her. Her treatments are so relaxing. I would recommend her to anyone.

Pros: exception service

Cons: none
