I have been suffering from acne since I was 14. I have tried nearly every product line on the market and I have tried natural remedies. No matter what I did my skin would always clear up and then start to break out weeks later. It got to a point where I was too ashamed to leave the house and I thought people would be grossed out to look at my face. I had basically given up on having healthy skin when I figured I’d give Amber a shot. She took a holistic approach and looked at all aspects of my lifestyle, customized a routine for my specific case, and gave me an entire lifestyle shift in order to cure my acne. I have been going to Amber since Jan. 2021, it is now May and I have never worn less makeup, felt more confident in my skin, and more in control of my acne. If you struggle with your skin, I really cannot recommend anyone Better—Thank you Amber!!!!
I’ve been going to Amber for over two years now and I’m complimented on my skin constantly! Not only is she thorough on your product uses but she is quick to offer alternatives and her own skin care line is a must have! I switched over to all her products and the results speak for themselves. I’ve suffered from adult acne as well as melasma from pregnancy. My skin is now clearer than it’s been since having kids and my recent microneedling has improved my fine lines, given me plumper more youthful looking skin thanks to the collagen stimulation and allowed me to confidence to go make up free! Why more could a girl ask for!
I highly recommend! Very happy with both great results and her very in-depth knowledge and answers to all my questions.
I’ve been seeing Amber for my skincare needs for over 7 years now and I can’t say enough great things about her and the services she provides! Until the beginning of this year I primarily scheduled sugaring appointments and now I’m on her skin care line, which is incredible! My skin has always been prone to bumps here and there and I scar very easily so I have many dark spots on my face. Since February the results I’ve gotten have made me so happy, dark spots have drastically faded and I’ve had less breakouts than usual as well. She’s very knowledgeable, plus she’s a great person so I always look forward to my appointments. :) I also moved to Portland years ago but gladly make the drive to see her as there’s no one else I’d trust my skin to!
Amber is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled Master Aesthetician. I have been working with Amber for almost a year and her vision/work/skin care line have transformed my skin. My skin is so clear and healthy that I no longer wear makeup.The focus of our work has been primary on anti-aging. The microneedling, peels, and dermaplanning have been by far the most beneficial. Since completing the microneeding sessions, I have noticed such remarkable improvements including decreased hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. My skin is more smooth, supple, and plump. Through all these procedures, she wasalways promptly available if I had any questions (even after hours) and she would also check in with me to ensure I was healing well.Her ASH SKIN products are by far the BEST I have ever utilized and are an essential part of the outcome. Her boutique is essentially spotless and has always well exceeded any standard of care (even a pandemic protocol)!Lastly, she is an amazing and talented human! Highly recommend her!
Have you tried other acne programs like proactive and literally everything else with mixed results? I did. Amber is great because she does a lot of legwork trying to understand your whole skin picture and providing plenty of advice. Sure, its not a cheap, easy, or quick fix, but as she says, how clear do you want your skin to be? As an adult with over 15 years dealing with acne, Im finally pleased with the clarity of my skin.
I have been a client for several years, now. Amber is amazing. Not only is she one of the only sugarers in Vancouver, but she’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and really cares about her clients. From skincare questions to sugar/wax maintenance, to “hey, should I see a dermatologist about this?”, Amber is always happy to help and makes herself available to her clients. She takes care to research products thoroughly and she’s always prepared to make skincare recommendations for every budget. She has her own line of products which have been developed to be skin- and budget-friendly. Her office is always immaculately clean and she’s well-prepared for your visit. Skin care is SO important and being comfortable with the expert you’re turning to for treatment is as well. I cannot say enough good things! I trust her and recommend her to everyone I know. You won’t get feel-good beauty services that cost a lot, but don’t do much for your skin, but you WILL get fantastic care from a knowledgeable, friendly expert who will work with you to ensure results you’re looking for. Your skin is worth the investment, and so is Amber! Go see her!!
If you’ve tried everything and feel at your wits end with acne, look no further!!This is a long overdue review, but Amber is nothing short of amazing. I did her acne program and it seriously changed my life. Giving me confidence that I never had before. It’s intense and takes time but Amber is so thorough and knowledgeable. She is kind and makes the experience very comfortable. She isn’t going to give you temporary results, she helps get to the root of your skin problems. I had tried everything from crazy over the counter face cleansers, to seeing a dermatologist and using topicals and NOTHING worked until I saw Amber. She is hands down the best.
I just had the most amazing facial! Ambers knowledge and experience far supersedes your average spa treatment. My skin looks and feels so healthy and radiant as it used to be when I was much younger. On top of that, I got educated on how to take care of and protect my skin, a follow up and pure organic product samples to take home. Amber is very friendly, professional and confident. If youre serious about getting results, ASH Organic Skin Care and Waxing is the place!
Ms. Amber is truly a professional in her field. I have had acne for YEARS and have tried it all; harsh drying creams, homemade creams/remedies (coconut oil, anyone?), high-end products, drugstore products and of course, seeing a dermatologist (I could go on and on). Completely hopeless, I began my last search for someone who was willing to help me with my skin, someone to be on my team. Its been a few years now and Id say weve been a great team ever since. I have never met anyone more knowledgable in skin care and anyone more involved in the entire process. As with any team, each member has to do their part; I have came in for regular treatments, bought new skin care (had to get rid of my skincare product graveyard), am taking my supplements along with following the rest of the directions shes given. I say this because skincare is NOT A QUICK FIX. Once I understood that I too, would have to put in work towards great skin, Its been life changing. This woman has given me my confidence back; If she ever decides to move, I will have to go after her:))) I have sent a lot of my friends her way and am truthfully so happy to see them also get their confidence back. The hardest thing is to find what works for you. Once you find it (only took me 10 years), the rest is easy. Take the time to go through your entire skincare regime, dont miss any steps/appointments and youll see it all come together and result in clear skin. She is THE BEST there is.
For the last 10 years I have battled Cystic acne, combination skin, and bad skin products. I was so lucky to find ASH Skin! Every appointment is enjoyable, professional, and knowledgeable. The wealth of knowledge that is shared freely to help keep my skin healthy and amazing looking is staggering! The treatments and products are always current and innovative. I no longer struggle with keeping my skin looking good. It looks better now in my 40’s then it ever did in my 20’s! No joke. I have been with ASH Skin since January 2018 to present, and I am so incredibly happy with all the work she has done and the products she has me using. I made a firm commitment to follow the skin care regiment that is required by ASH Skin, and I have never regretted it! I am now a makeup foundation free person and loving it! Foundation is never needed anymore and I find it gross on my skin now. I love my natural glowing skin everyday! People around me daily notice my skin as well. (This review sounds vain, but I can’t help it! My skin is so amazing now and others notice it too!)
I have been coming to Ash Organics and seeing Amber for several years. Her office is clean, she is professional and incredibly knowledgeable, she makes you feel comfortable, always willing to answer questions even outside of appointment time and her rates are good! When I first came to Amber I was so worried about the procedure, wax. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I will never go anywhere else!!!
If your looking for an aesthetician who is very knowledgeable in what your skin needs Amber is the one. I have been going to Amber for 5+ years and she has done wonders to my skin. I also had microneedling done by her and loved the results. Amber is very prompt in getting back to you with any questions you may have after your appt as well as checking in with you as well. She has amazing products as well that really do work.Michelle
I have been seeing Amber along with my two teenage daughters for a couple of years now. Amber is an absolute gem and we feel incredible lucky to have found her. We originally went to help deal with my oldest daughters acne but then I discovered how knowledgeable she is about aging skin skin. She is incredibly thorough and understands types of acne and what is necessary. She runs through everything about your routine and makes changes as needed. Each session my daughters walk away motivated and happy. My skin has never looked better and theirs is slowly improving. She just moved to a beautiful new space and though we live in SW Portland we happily travel the 30 minutes to see her. I cant imagine ever going to anyone else. Ive seen a lot of estheticians over the years and no one comes close to Amber!
I cannot say enough great things about Amber and her level of care in each of her services. She is able to diagnose what your skin needs, how best to treat it (including home care) and is a true partner in helping you look (and FEEL) your very best. I’ve booked sugaring and facial appointments and also used her products. I have since moved to Las Vegas and I miss her individual based treatment and care.
I have been seeing Amber for over a year now for both waxing and facials and enjoy every experience I have with her (as much as one can enjoy waxing). Amber is always extremely knowledgeable and professional and her facials are amazing! She is always up to date with different methods and I leave her office looking and feeling great. Amber also recommends products and treatments thats are specific to my skin type which I appreciate. I am often given compliments on my skin and I always give the credit to Amber. :o)
I wanted to start off with saying Amber is beyond amazing! I havent met an aesthetician who is so knowledgeable. From the beginning she answered any questions i had and provided me with information that I didnt even know related to acne. I had to move to another state, and decide to visit someone there for facials, and the experience was just not the same. Amber has made my expectations so high. I love the way my face looks and everyone comments about it. If anyone wants amazing skin, GO to Amber, she will not disappoint.
Amber is the very best out there! I couldnt be happier wither her hair removal and skin care services. Her products are amazing and both her waxing/sugaring skills are great. Ambers post-treatment requirements/directions are well worth it and pay off. Im so lucky Ive found her and highly recommend her to everyone!
Best facial Ive ever had! And not only does Amber have exceptional knowledge of skin care, and skin products, but nutrition as well. Coming from someone whose career is teaching people how to eat healthy and live healthy, it is RARE to find someone who understands skin from both the outside AND the inside. I highly recommend her! :-)
Amber is amazing... I go for waxing and facials... My skin has never looked and felt so good.. Her place is so clean and her waxing is pain free... Amber makes you feel so comfortable and at home..I will follow Amber where ever she may go.. If you are a afraid to get waxed this is the place to come...Its so clean and really is pain free.. Thanks Amber...
Since I was up in the SW Washington area I had 2 options when it came to maintaining my waxing regiment - 1. shave (no way!) or 2. find a new person to do my waxing. If it werent for the great reviews her customers took the time to write, I would have never found Amber.Although I was used to one particular wax, she was very knowledgeable about the different waxes she uses on different areas, usually dependent on sensitive prone areas. Naturally, there may be a little timidness when going to a new aesthetician, but Amber is very professional and will address any questions or concerns about your visit. She made me feel comfortable and her demeanor shows that she really loves her craft and wants her customers walking out satisfied with their results. She even followed up with me the next day to make sure all was well.The only con was when I arrived, I wasnt sure if I was supposed to check-in somewhere first. So, for any new clients, take a seat and she will come out to you. Other than that small initial confusion, the waxing services she provided turned out to be a relaxing and assuring experience.I know that whenever I come up here, I always have a place to go for my waxing!
I just had a sugaring class with Amber this past Sunday January 11th and I was very nervous at first because I have never worked with sugar before but Amber made me feel at ease the entire time, she was very patient and was extremely easy to understand by explaining step by step. I highly recommend her as an instructor! Thank you Amber!!
I’ve been going to Amber for the last four years for Sugaring/Waxing and although I can’t say it’s completely painless, I will say she is a perfectionist (which is great cause I am PICKY!) and I always know the products she uses are not only safe but good for my skin! I have very sensitive skin and never have any redness or irritation!
Had my first wax with Amber today, after a truly horrible experience elsewhere in Vancouver. Not only did she give me a free consultation over the phone a few weeks ago (telling me how to heal from my previous waxing disaster and even going so far as to tell me exactly where on the Walgreens shelf to find the skin/wound care items she recommended), but today was easily the best wax Ive ever had. She was professional, the products she used smelled natural and amazing, she explained what was happening with my skin and gave me clear instructions on how to continue the healing process (again, directing me to the exact shelf at Walgreens!), and her office was peaceful and comfortable. Excellent results. Shes obviously a pro, and a total skincare guru to boot. Already purchased my next three waxes (at an incredibly affordable price).
Amber is THE BEST! I have been to a lot of sugarists over the years and Amber is so knowledgeable and makes the experience a lot less painful (there will always be some pain, but her technique makes it much more tolerable). She has a number of great products to offer for ingrown hairs and irritation as well! So glad I found her in Vancouver and always plan to go to her!
I’ve been seeing Amber for a decade because she’s really the very best for corrective facials & waxing. The New Location is absolutely lovely and parking is a breeze~🙏🏼💕😇🌲💋
Once a month I come see Amber and its always a pleasant experience. Shes very welcoming & friendly, I was able to get comfortable with her quickly. Her waxing area is always tidy and she is both knowledgeable about her skill and informed on products that will help your skin. I drive to Vancouver from Oregon City JUST to see her, highly recommended!!!
Absolutely love Amber! She has changed my skin tremendously, I have tried everything that is out there for acne, and nothing worked. But when I came to Amber for help, she was so supportive and informational about what I need to do, and the process of clearing my face. I started to see results within a month of going to her, and my skin has never looked better!!Even when I moved to a different state and had to switch estheticians, and I was not able to see Amber, she still stayed in contact and made sure that everything was going ok, and my face was doing fine. While being away I had noticed how different Amber is, and the services she offers. For example: she switches her gloves really frequently while doing procedures (and thats huge for me), and I noticed a difference in the products that I was using at ASH Skin, rather than the ones I had to switch to (they were not working for me).In conclusion: Everyone should go see Amber if they want their face to look amazing!!!
I have been seeing Amber for waxing (brazilian and french-bikini) for years. She is great: quick, near-painless, friendly, uses the best organic products, and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I also recently asked her about skin care (young adult acne, constant break outs). Amber recommend the line she uses for her customers, Skin Script, and gave me some samples to try. So far it has worked wonders, and I just order the full kit from her. Thanks to her advice and expertise, my skin is better than it has been in years. I highly recommend her for waxing and any other skin care service!
Amber is very knowledgeable with waxing and skincare. She has been waxing me for about 6 months. She makes me feel comfortable in an awkward situation. She is very fast, so its less time in pain! I am impressed how I have less and less hair with every wax. I have told my friends to go to her and would recommend her to anyone looking to get a fast wax!
I had never before had a wax of any kind and I was daring enough to buy a Yelp coupon for a brazilian wax from Amber. She made me feel super comfortable. She even does follow up texts to make sure all is well. i will be going in for my 3rd wax next week. I highly recommend her!!! She is amazing:)
Amber is such a great choice for sugaring. Thoroughness is important and she always delivers. She’s professional and kind. I’m very glad I found her!
NO ONE is better than Amber at quickly, safely, and effectively clearing acne. I had been to other estheticians and dermatologists in my quest to clear my sudden onset of adult acne and they all fell short. The dermatologist wanted to prescribe medicine and one estethician caused an allergic reaction. Enter Amber. With spot on guidance and suitable products, my adult acne was cleared within weeks. AND STAYED CLEAR. Wearing makeup was finally optional again. Feeling overly confident, I stopped my treatments and reverted back to an old skin care routine that, at one point, worked just fine. The acne returned within 30 days of being without product. I got back with Amber and saw results within 24 hours. No one knows, and treats, acne like Amber does. Stop looking. Start booking.
I have been seeing Amber since last Summer for Brazilian Waxing and Sugaring. She makes what used to be a painful and not so pleasant experience comfortable and inviting! I used to have bad skin reactions at previous waxing places but have never had one issue since seeing Amber. I also like the fact that she texts and is easy to get ahold of for appointments or any questions that I have had. And like the other reviewers have said her office is clean and always smells great! I have referred quite a few people to Amber some have had waxing done previous and others not and they all have said great things! Highly recommend!!
Amber knows her hair removal services and is a whiz with putting together a tailored skin care regimen. If you are going to be in the area, definitely call and make an appointment
Do you have acne issues? AMBER CAN HELP! I have had hormonal and genetically prone acne since I was 21 years old. I have been through two rounds of accutane, every prescription topical you can think of, different birth control pills, countless dermatology appointments and esthetician appoints over the past 13 years. Some of these helped temporarily, and some made it worse. Then, last winter when I had a particularly bad hormonal break out, desperate, I researched and found ASH online. THAT NIGHT, She immediately texted me loads of information with a WHOLE BODY approach. This is before I even met her! She covers it all: your detergent, your supplements, your makeup, your soaps, your household cleaners, your work environment. When we met she event through each item I brought and described what was in it that was going to make my acne worse. With a new naturopath in hand, I got on board with all new supplements, dietary and environmental changes, and I stopped all skin medications. Our appointments included various peels, extractions, cryotherapy, LED light therapy, and her custom skin plan of face washes, various topicals, moisturizers and sunscreen. She is comprehensive, thorough, and she is HYGIENIC (meaning nursing qualify attention to blood pathogens. She uses gloves, changed multiple times per session and sanitizes everything. Check and see what your esthetician does, because this is the most important thing in the appointment folks!). If you want results for your skin issues, see this talented professional! My skin is so much better and i can go out without makeup, which I never did before. Thanks Amber!
Amber is amazing! Slowly making me obsessed with waxing. Completely professional and affordable. Even texts you an appointment reminder. Must try and you wont regret it!
Love my brows! Def returning for a skin consult. Amber is very knowledgeable and skilled. Highly Recommend!
I cant recommend Amber enough. I made an appointment after reading all of her glowing reviews online. I had made the mistake of purchasing a Groupon for another salon and had a really negative experience. Amber is very knowledgeable and gave me great tips to help heal my skin after the other salon messed it up. I have been seeing her once a month since then.The prices are great and the service is amazing. Amber texts to confirm and schedule appointments and will follow up on any issues or questions you may have after your appointment. She also recommends products she isnt selling, which is unusual and refreshing to find in an esthetician. She works quickly and makes waxing as painless as waxing can be. I genuinely look forward to visiting with her and absolutely refuse to see anyone else.If you are considering your first wax, you wont regret choosing ASH. Amber makes the experience as relaxing as possible and will answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Amber is extremely professional and willing to work with you to make sure you are satisfied with the end result. Went the first time with a Groupon and have been going back since. I recommend her to everyone interested.
I have been getting waxed for over a decade, and have learned that sugar waxing is the least painful type of wax. The sugaring is more gentle and overall better for your skin. Every time I went in for a wax, I ended up asking her for advice with my very troublesome adult acne. I finally bit the bullet and made an appointment for a consultation and facial. I always thought that facials were something superfluous, like getting a pedicure. I had NO IDEA how much they would benefit my skin. Between Ambers awesome (and affordable) acne products (Ive tried many before), her knowledge of dietary affects on skin (she used to be a nurse and will suggest dietary changes and supplements that will also benefit your skin), her availability is what sets her apart from others. I had a breakout that I could not get under control. One night I freaked out because I couldnt take it any more, and texted her. She asked me to send her photos, and was able to make changes in my acne regimen. The breakout cleared up and I havent had one like it since. If you are looking for a quick fix that may or may not work, stick with the infomercials you see on TV. If you are looking for something that will truly heal and change your skin...with persistence, effort and consistency, then Amber is the best there is.
Not only is she friendly and her prices are AMAZING, but Amber is probably the best esthetician i have ever been to. i have been going to her for months now for waxing. She is the best at explaining everything she is doing. Also after asking her about my skin she suggested a facial peel.i noticed the difference immediately!! Not only did i feel refreshed and clear after, but she sent me home with samples to continue using at home. i would suggest her to anyone, and will continue going to her. : )
I’ve been watching people’s skin change for the better time and time again with Amber! She is a master at her work!
Amber is very professional. Ive been seeing her for waxing for about a year and for facials for about 6 months now. I highly recommend her!
Let me start by qualifying myself. I was waxed regularly (every 4 weeks) for nearly 3 years straight, and off and on for a few years before that. I am also a licensed Esthetician. As such, I am no stranger to waxing, nor brazilian waxing.I recently received a brazilian wax from Amber and it was by far the best experience Ive ever had. It was quick and comfortable, believe it or not. She provided me the most thorough and least painful waxing experience Ive ever had. Having been nearly two years since my last wax, I expected a painful experience with tenderness the following day. I experienced none of that.Professionally, Amber has flawless technique and the knowledge to provide a truly unique experience. I was so impressed with her ability, I will be participating in some one-on-one training so that I can provide the same service and experience to my own clients. Well done, Amber. Thanks again!
I have gone to ASH organics for over a year and am always impressed with how clean and professional she is. I made the mistake of getting a groupon this spring for a hazel dell place and regretted it!! I was burned and had skin torn. I have been waxing for years and this place is the best one I have been to!!!!
Thank goodness my fellow reviewers and researchers. My prayers have been answered. I finally found Amber via web search after so much trial and error. I came to her in serious need, for I had dark spots and mild acne. I have brown skin and of different ethnic backgrounds, so hyperpigmentation was becoming a problem in my 30’s where it was not before. Had to clean up the body inside organically and outside organically. I had seen another esthetician in Vancouver and the products where not healthy over time for the skin. Service also could have been better. I was also using the wrong products on my skin. Since seeing Amber my skin improved overnight. My skins moisture came back and over time my dark spots have faded. The products are all great in combination and natural. After my TCA Peel I felt relaxed, no pain during application. Amber’s knowledge and expertise in skin care is great. No pressure on purchasing products. She genuinely wants to help you and understands. I would recommend Amber to anyone in need of skin healing and just skin relaxation, as I would call it.
I was recommended to Amber by a friend who knew i had been struggling with chronic acne for a while. The first time I saw Amber was for waxing and that experience was great! I loved that everything was organic and she was very professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. In talking more with her we got on the subject of acne and nutrition and It was so refreshing to hear someone so knowledgeable with the treatment of acne and battling it not only with treatments and products but also through what your putting in your body.I was on Acutane 2x in high school and numerous amounts of antibiotics to help treat my acne and Im now 30 yrs old and still battling acne. It got really bad after having my son almost 2 yrs ago and since then Ive spent lots of money on products, light treatments, peels, laser you name it. Not to say none of these have helped, but i was never put on products that were healthy for my skin or educated on nutrition specifically for skin.Amber recommended a series of Ultrasound treatments and also recommended i start using a couple products by Osmosis and skin script (the prices were very reasonable) which i have loved!! Amber is also very knowledgeable in what cosmetic lines are good and not good for your skin which was very helpful for me. During the first ultrasound treatment Amber recommended if i wasnt already to get on a good probiotic and to start taking Zinc and Vit. C. Totally wish someone had told me this sooner!! After 6 ultrasound treatments my skin texture has greatly improved (lots smoother), my scars have faded some, and my acne has mostly cleared up. This is the first time in a long time i feel like ill be able to keep my acne under control. Would totally recommend Amber to anyone who has struggled with acne! Wish I would have found you sooner Amber!
I started going to Amber for waxing after I was pregnant and had never had anything but my eyebrows waxed before that. Waxing while pregnant is generally more painful due to the hormone elevations. Amber adressed all my concerns; the ouch factor and the concerns around irritation and ingrown hairs. She also explained which wax formulations she was going to use on which areas of skin and why. I cant say enough about what a good experience I had going to Amber! I had brazilians up through my 38th week with ever increasing skin sensitivity and she expertly performed the hair removal with only a minor increase in discomfort. Go see Amber for all your prenatal waxing, shes fantastic!
Highly recommend !
