Breathe new life into your skin with this highly rejuvenating treatment. Your skin's specific needs will be targeted to improve overall balance and beauty. This facial brightens and refreshes with dual exfoliation, soothes and calms with a relaxing facial massage. Everyone's lash and brow hairs are a bit lighter at the root and the tip.
This variation in pigment makes the hairs look shorter and less dense then they actually are. When we tint the lashes and brows they appear fuller and darker. This adds increased definition allowing many of our clients to skip the mascara and brow pencil. Oxygen has proven benefits for the skin. It stimulates the body's natural healing function, is anti-inflammatory and boosts collagen production.

I’ve 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.

Just got back from my eyebrow wax and tint. Cate is fantastic. She is incredibly knowledgeable and keeps my look sharp and sophisticated. Plus, the atmosphere is calming and I had a lovely cup of tea to warm my soul. Illume Day Spa is an impressive, woman-owned business and I believe you will appreciate your treatment there as much as I do. Enjoy!

This is such a special place. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The girls are so professional, so comforting, so healing. Cate is helping me clear up years of mistreating my skin. I am so happy it's become my main Place for self care. Ladies out there, I recommend a lash lift. Holy moly! It last for months! I threw away my eyelash curler! :) The products they sell are exceptional as well. Organic non toxic skin care at its finest. Thanks, ladies of Illume! You have a fantastic business.

When you need a good brow wax, Perfectionism is the #1 quality you want from an aesthetician. As a person of impossibly high standards, I'm super picky about service providers. I've been going to Stara for waxing every month for years and am consistently delighted. My eyebrows are ALWAYS perfect. Her spa is welcoming, clean and relaxing. Stara is friendly, warm and professional. Most importantly, she is a knowledgeable and skilled beauty practitioner who uses excellent products and tools. I recommend her to everyone I know and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I have been going to Illume Day Spa for years and would never go anywhere else....in fact, I drive all the way from Beaverton to see them! That's how magnificent this place is, and how professional, knowledgable, caring and detail-oriented Stara and Cate are. From brow wax to facials to peels and more, these two experts can be counted on and trusted to take care of your skin as they would their own. Cannot recommend enough!!

Cate has been my saving grace while helping me with my skin. While not knowing what the root to my adult acne is, she has been so generous and patient in helping me with this struggle! From easy scheduling, to working flexibly around my budget, she has gained a lifelong customer. Her warm demeanor makes me look forward to every visit, and I cannot thank her enough for her help.

I JUST returned from my first appointment with Stara and couldn't wait to write a review. She was very friendly.. Even when I was late (oops!). The room was wonderful and she did a fantastic job explaining everything and really paid attention to my concerns and what I wanted out of the experience (in this case tons of extractions). I can't wait to go back!

This is THE place to go for all your skin care needs! Stara is amazing at everything she does. The waxing is painless and professional. She is magic at facials. And the spa itself is just a really beautiful and comfortable space that is decorated so well! I would never go anywhere else for my beauty needs.
