Prior to pursuing my passion for skincare, I was an architectural designer. I developed a meticulous eye for detail and composition - an assest that influnces every aspect of my work as an esthetican. In my opinion, flawless skin is not the goal, and obsessing over every line and imperfection is detrimental.

If your skin is radiant and healthy, that's all anyone will see. My practice philosophy is rooted in a passion for boosting self-confidence within people by enhancing their natural beauty. I love what I do and sincerely enjoy sharing my passion with others. I love designing comprehensive facial experiences that transform your skin and entire state of mind.

The traditional one-size-fits-all standardized facial philosophy has no place in my practice. Constant experimentation and out of the box thinking informs my signature style, while my empathetic nature allows intuitive customization. This process, and through the use of multiple advanced technologies, modalities, and clinical products, I am able to provide maximum results without overwhelming the skin.

A master of his trade, Andy gets better each and every time I see him. Whether you walk in feeling fine or like the world has a personal grudge against you, by the time you leave, your skin feels like you were reborn somehow and all your cares are just gone. The only thing missing is if he had sleep pods to slide you into for a nap afterwards. Thank you for each and every treatment good sir!

I just moved to Portland from San Francisco. I was so pleased to find Andy. He is an amazing aesthetician. My treatment was comparable to what I would receive at top MedSpas in SF but I would say even better. Beautiful and welcoming decor. Exceptional customer service and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

7 years and counting. Andy is the best in the Northwest⭐️. My skin always looks so amazing, and I feel amazing after his peels and treatments. His kindness and laughter is a plus. I’ve followed him to his new location (5 years ago) and will go anywhere he goes. I drive from Silverton Oregon to get the best treatments from this sweet kind knowledgeable man. I would give 10 stars if I could. Andy really is the best. And has always given me the right recommendations for daily skin care.

As soon as you walk into this spa the ambiance is so welcoming! And it smells like a European spa.
Andy is very knowledgeable about what he does, he knows what your skin needs you can trust him with you face! My whole experience was great and will definitely be back for more.

Oh my! This place is fabulous! Very professional and highly effective service. Andy is at the top of his game and has a master technique, the best products and awesome high-tech machines (LED/microderm/infusion) in his arsenal. The location is perfect, too. Close to many cute cafes and a walkable neighborhood.Thank you so much!

I love this place! This was my first place I've been to and I was scared. Andy helped me feel comfortable and educated me on every step, process and what to expect. I never leave having questions, he answers everything without having to ask. Great prices and such a relaxing environment! Thank you for everything!

I've been getting the DermaSweep treatments for about 6 months and my skin has never looked better. I actually get compliments on it! The treatments are gentle yet very effective. I love that i don't look all red and crazy when I leave! The spa itself is intimate and sparkling clean. Andy is very knowledgable about what he's doing and a real pleasure to be with. I recommend this place to all my friends!

I can tell how passionate he is with what he does. Visits after visits, his high quality service was consistent. I have been in many different places and this, by far, is the best. I give him my highest recommendation.

Fantastic!! This spa is beautiful and posh and Andy is as knowledgable as they come. He took the time to ask a lot of questions and get to know me and then make a plan of action for my treatment. You can tell he loves what he does and has a passion for skin care and esthetics! Totally exceeded my expectations. I will be back as a regular and would recommend Skin Tight Spa to anyone!

Found this gem on Yelp and it's a great find. Andy is very nice and professional. He was able to get me in quickly for the service I wanted. (Vi peel) I think his prices are reasonable. His studio is awesome. Definitely my new go to spa for skin care.

Best lashes, DermaSweep, & Chemical Peels, I've ever had. I've tried several places (e.g. Portland, Lake Oswego, Macadam, Beaverton, Vancouver) by far Andy is the best around.

Amazing! Have been coming here every 3-4 weeks for over a year for my lash extensions! Will admit I tried other places twice (due to my schedule) but always came back and will not go anywhere else again!

Andy and Karissa are absolute angels! Andy gives the most detailed and wonderful microdermabrasion treatments. It feels like a lose couple of years after each treatment. Karissa is Portland's #1 airbrush tan artist. The spa ambiance is darling, classy and modern. Also, they advised me in permanent removal of a very serious burn scar, and helped me purchase the Skin Medica TNS serum. If you have a serious scar, the TNS serum available at Skin Tight is a MUST (this was less than 5 layers from 3rd degree, now I have no scar).

Skin Tight Spa is professional & trendy! They provide a variety of services. I highly recommend Philip, who is a massage therapist there. Not only does he provide you with out standing customer service. His massages are beyond amazing!

Thank you Skin Tight Spa!!!

VA-VA-VOOM! Or OOH-LA-LA! I think that just about explains the quality of the lash extension service I had! I am not a make-up person and I already had lengthy lashes so I never thought about trying extensions. But when a deal came up on Sharing Spree I thought why not! I spoke with my tech Andy prior to my appointment and he explained what to expect also a few do's and dont's. Upon arrival the staff was very welcoming! In immediately and the results.....FABULOUS! It was about a two hour appointment in a very comfy setting! I think I dozed off a few times even! LOVE MY LASHES!!
