I can’t say enough good things about Sarah and Take It Off PDX!! Sarah is not only the best esthetician and knows what the f*** she is doing, she’s also a wonderful human who creates the warmest and safest environment! I absolutely look forward to every appointment, despite them being painful :) (tattoo removal & laser hair removal) I walk out of each appointment feeling more confident, scheming for the next service and as if I just got the best therapy session. 100000/10.


Feb 02, 2025

I’ve been to this place a handful of times for different treatments as I prep for my upcoming wedding. Both Ivy and Sarah have been utter gems and now I can’t imagine going anywhere else. They are knowledgeable, took the time to learn my skin, and have been so gentle with me as we venture into peels and removals I’ve never done before. 1000 out of 10 would recommend.

After cutting myself shaving one too many times I finally decided to bite the bullet and commit to laser hair removal. Because I was going full Brazilian, I was a little nervous about pain. Sarah rules and made it a quick and comfortable process for me. The pain was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be and in many sections didn't feel like much of anything at all. Cannot wait for my next session and to move on to other parts of my body that I want to be hairless!

Sally is going my removal and she makes me feel so comfortable! I’m 4 sessions in on a dark black inc tattoo and in some spots it’s so light and others it’s almost gone. Highly recommend starting your removal journey here


Jan 06, 2025

I had the opportunity to experience my first tattoo removal session with Sally on 12/13/24, and I have to say, I am deeply impressed. As someone with high anxiety who is new to this process, Sally made me feel completely comfortable and calm throughout the entire procedure. Sally is incredibly kind, sweet, and welcoming, which truly made all the difference. Their professionalism and warmth put me at ease right away. I would absolutely recommend Sally and Take It Off to anyone considering tattoo removal

My sisters surprised me for my birthday with the I am Baby treatment! My overall experience was 10/10. If you are looking to spoil yourself with a peaceful and relaxing spa treatment this is the place to do it! You can see how much Sarah loves what she does with the love and TLC she puts into her working space and care for her clients. She has such attention to detail. She keeps it extremely clean, little treats in the bathroom for self care, and she creates such a safe for her clients. I have PCOS and it shows on my skin it is one of my biggest insecurities and she handled it with such TLC and I felt comfortable enough to share my struggles with her about it. After struggling with postpartum depression and neglecting myself I walked out of Sarah’s spa feeling like I was glowing. The experience I had at Take it off really made such a huge difference in my postpartum battle. I will always be grateful ❤️

Sarah is the best! She and the staff there create a friendly, chill, and welcoming atmosphere. It's liking hanging out at a friend's house (who shoots you with lasers).


Oct 06, 2024

Had laser tattoo removal with Sally who was SUPER friendly and personable, felt so comfortable immediately. Went in for a consultation and ended up deciding to do my first treatment right away. The laser HURTS, but Sally was so kind and so gentle throughout the whole process, 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!


Oct 06, 2024

Have been doing some large scale tattoo removal (from my collar bone to a little above my belly button) with Sarah. Everytime we go to the shop everyone is extremely kind, welcoming and sweet. Sarah is awesome when it comes to the session, does a lot to make sure you are comfortable, jokes around and is more than happy to take a momentary pause in the process so you can gather yourself. Also, lots of positive encouragement which helps the uncomfortable process go so much easier! If anyone is considering tattoo removal I would definitely recommend!


Oct 06, 2024

Sarah is the sweetest person I have ever met! Had a facial today and have never felt so relaxed! I’m an esthetician so I have experienced lots of facials and seriously this was the best facial of my life. Sarah makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed you can really tell how much she cares for her clients she’s amazing! 🩷


Sep 06, 2024

I had a great experience with Christine and Sarah - my brows were heavily pigmented and I was scared of going through the process but I couldn't have picked a better place. Knowledgeable staff and super nice. The picture is from my 3rd session.


Sep 06, 2024

My partner is in the process of having two tattoos on their back lightened to make space for a back piece that is better and more meaningful. Take it off was recommended by my partner's tattoo artist and Sarah has been clear, kind and very helpful. After only two sessions the tattoos are already looking much fainter. Sarah clearly knows what she's doing and tries to make the client experience as comfortable as possible. Highly recommended.

I am ✨ obsessed with this spa. Take It Off and their employees are so knowledgeable, sweet, and inclusive. It’s hard to feel comfy when you’re doing procedures that can be a little private (Brazilian laser hair removal, for example), and Sally has been such a professional rockstar! I’ve been waxing for a few years and switching to laser over the last year has been one of the most rewarding things for my body and hair maintenance. Thank you, team, for being so professional and welcoming. If I ever want to get a tattoo removed, I know where I’ll be going! It’s cool to see their own employees using the spas services. I’ve been admiring the progress pictures and healing of some tattoo removals on Sally specifically, and that goes to show a lot as well!


Aug 06, 2024

I had a great experience with Sarah for both laser tattoo removal and microneedling. Their expertise was clear from the start, and they made sure to explain each step of the process, which really helped me feel comfortable. The tattoo removal was handled with care and precision, and I'm already seeing positive results. The microneedling session was equally impressive; my skin feels refreshed and looks noticeably better. On top of her skills, Sarah is genuinely friendly and has a great sense of humor. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable and approachable for these treatments, I highly recommend Sarah at Take it Off!


Aug 06, 2024

I've been seeing Sally at Take It Off and she is amazing! She explained the process clearly, she is kind, understanding and gentle. Sally makes sure I am ready and comfortable before we begin treatment. The office is cute and clean. The prices are very reasonable in comparison to other tattoo removal shops. I highly recommend checking here for your tattoo removal needs, but they also offer an array of other skin care services too!


Aug 06, 2024

Sally is the best! I love getting to see her every 8 weeks. She makes everything as comfortable as possible. So grateful for her!


Jul 06, 2024

Had an huge skin tag causing discomfort and Sarah took care of it for me in a jiffy. Great bedside manner, clean and professional, I will totally be back.


Jul 06, 2024

I am seeing Sally to remove a tattoo on my upper arm. She is knowledgeable, patient, kind, professional and makes me feel comfortable the entire time. If you’re searching for someone to guide you through the removal process, Sally is the best! She also wears a hat that says “sluts rule”, and it’s just great.


Jul 06, 2024

I recently underwent laser tattoo removal from Sally. I highly recommend her for laser tattoo removal for anyone looking to remove an unwanted tattoo. The process was efficient, effective, and the results exceeded my expectations. She is also a joy to be around and gave awesome advice for a smooth recovery! I definitely wi be coming back!


Jul 06, 2024

I saw Sally for my eyebrow tattoo removal and she was a professional through and through. She explained the procedure in detail, let me know exactly what she was doing before she did it, and answered all of my questions. Sally was clearly familiar with the laser and its settings to get the best results. I got a lot of fade from my first session, with probably one or two more to go. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to start the process and am now looking forward to going back!


Jul 06, 2024

Sarah is super experienced and knowledgable. She made me feel very comfortable! The staff were also really helpful and welcoming.


Jun 06, 2024

I started my first tattoo removal. It was quick, thorough, and a great experience. I've also had facials and loved the additional CBD treatment. Both services were with Christine and she is awesome!


Jun 06, 2024

I’ve had several sessions of laser tattoo removal with Sarah and I can’t say enough good things about her and her business! I had previously been going to another place for laser removal but after doubling their prices overnight without notice (and no grandfathering existing clients), I could no longer afford my sessions. After lots of googling and reading reviews, I found Take it Off. Not only are their prices affordable, but Sarah is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel at ease during my appointments. Not to mention, she’s super nice and fun to talk to. I highly recommend Sarah and Take it Off!


Jun 06, 2024

Sarah is friendly, knowledgeable, and communicates clearly so you know what to expect. The facility is clean, and while I'm only a couple treatments into my tattoo removal, I'm happy with the process and can see the lightening already. I'm so glad I landed here on my search for tattoo removal!


Jun 06, 2024

Sarah is super knowledgeable about what she does and is definitely good at it! I’ve been going to her for laser tattoo removal of my PMU brows and she’s made some serious progress on them! My tattooed brows were so dark and heavy, and now they’re so much lighter after only 2 sessions! I still have about 1 session left and I’m so excited to get my old face back!! It’s giving me my confidence back and I get so excited for each appointment because I know I’m gonna be one step closer to having my natural brows back again! Sarah makes you feel comfy, well-informed, and well taken care of. She explained the whole process to me and has been very kind throughout. Highly recommend Sarah//TakeItOff!!!


May 06, 2024

Sally is THE BEST. The consultation was quick to schedule and from the moment I met her I felt at ease. I had hair removal done and she’s that perfect blend of friend and provider that lets you know you’re in trusting hands. She’s thorough, treats the whole area and then some, and checks in at every appointment to ensure you’re seeing the results you expected. If I weren’t moving I’d be back in a heartbeat to goof and laser with her some more.


May 06, 2024

Sally is the best at laser!! Always on time and efficient and so fun to talk to


May 06, 2024

Sarah is the best Esthetician in Oregon, on the west coast, and the entire United States. My skin has truly never looked better, and I will never miss our monthly appointments because she is a literal angel on Earth. Extreme talent and knowledge base combined with a beautiful heart and soul. If you're lucky enough to get an appointment with her, I guarantee you will turn into a forever client, just like me.


Apr 06, 2024

25/10!! Sarah is so professional and welcoming. I was so comforted by her expertise. This was my first tattoo removal experience. My tattoo covers a large area of my leg and had significant ink drift. It looked like it had a permanent halo bruise, as you can see. It was really distressing. I am so grateful that a friend sent me Sarah's way because I had not even imagined there was a real solution. She does such a good job of explaining what she's doing as she moves through the session. SO much incredibly helpful before and after- care instructions. Do everything she tells you to do! The photos I am including show my healed results after 2 laser sessions over the last few months. I AM SOOOO happy with how my tattoo looks now. I am truly amazed. If you have a blown out tattoo or a tattoo affected by ink drift, do not despair it is fixable! Thank you so much Sarah!


Apr 06, 2024

Sarah is such a gem of a human and an amazing esthetician! So much so that I've been putting off writing this review for fear of not being able to correctly express how awesome it was to find her and her space. I've never felt super welcomed or comfortable at previous spa situations, but Take it Off is totally different. My experience from the consultation through all of my services was professional, relaxing and super fun! My skin looks awesome and I can't wait to book future services. 1000/10 would recommend!


Mar 06, 2024

I absolutely love going in for services here. The whole staff is amazing and the vibes are immaculate. Chrissy has been doing my laser hair and laser tattoo removal and makes a decently painful experience a whole lot easier to bear. 10/10 recommend anyone looking for laser or advanced esthetic treatments to check this place out.


Mar 06, 2024

Sarah is truly magical. Everything about Take It Off feels warm and welcoming, and she truly knows the answer to any skin question you might have. I always leave extra relaxed and with my skin looking and feeling remarkable, I can’t wait to go back for my next session!


Feb 06, 2024

I went to Chrissy after having multiple laser removal sessions elsewhere, and really appreciated how thorough and knowledgeable she is. She really took her time ensuring she saw the right reaction during the removal before proceeding to another area on the tattoo which is often overlooked - super excited to see the results over the next few weeks and can’t wait to get my next session in!


Feb 06, 2024

I've had a handful of facials from Sarah and every single time I swear they just get better! Sarah helped my skin so much during my transition when I started on HRT. This photo is from a week after one of my last facials with her:)


Feb 06, 2024

Sally is absolutely amazing. My laser tattoo removal for my half sleeve hurt like a &*\€£, and she was encouraging, non-judgemental, and empathetic during the whole experience. I may or may not have growled through the whole dang thing but she just kept encouraging me along. Would definitely recommend.


Feb 06, 2024

Sally is amazing. I started getting bad tattoos just so I could have her remove them. I AIN’T NEVER GONNA STOP!


Feb 06, 2024

Sarah Inloes has been great, it's always a joy to see her. I initially started seeing her for a large tattoo removal and ended up booking my first appointment at our consultation. I appreciated that she offered more information on health and habits that can help a removal go smoothly and possibly fade quicker. She's very knowledgeable and gave me a lot of information. I've had 5 sessions on this large tattoo and it's fading away right on track for her estimate. I've also added on different facials with some of my removal sessions and I was so relaxed during the face washing I just melted in her hands. It's been a great add on to my tattoo removal that has my skin glowing. Everyone I've interacted with at TakeItOff have been kind and wonderful to chat with. I highly recommend this place!
