Illume day spa is great. They are very friendly and offer lots of great advice. We definitely recommend Cate. Parking can be limited but there is always some down by the freeway. Bonus-It also has felt safe to go during Covid.
It's so calming there, I wish I could go more often!

Ive now moved overseas but my TOP PRIORITY whenever I visit my family in Portland is to see Stara at Illume. Above everything else. My skin has never looked so good. The space is luxurious, the massage is heavenly, and she does an excellent job extracting. My skin is baby soft and glowing for weeks/months after.

Love, love the staff at Illume. Stara is amazing and really knows her profession. She has really helped me with my rosacea. My skin looks great and at 64 to be complimented on how beautiful it looks makes me feel great.

Cate is amazing! I've been seeing her for well over 10 years(!) and she is absolutely worth the loyalty. She caters to sensitive skin well, waxes my brows to perfection every time, knows how to pamper for things like facials, and is not the pushy sales type. I highly recommend Cate!
