Lilac Sugaring
We are a small studio located on NW Hoyt, just steps away from NW 23rd st. Lilac Sugaring offers a range of self-care services in a welcoming and safe environment. Our mission is to help clients reach their hair removal, vulva skin care, or other self-care goals with compassion, knowledge, and zero judgement.
Lilac Sugaring shares space with an excellent massage company called Precision Healing. We highly recommend them for any relaxation or main management needs!
We are also owned & solely operated by licensed esthetician, Jessica Brown. Keep reading to learn more about Jess!
Jessica (Jess) Brown
Esthetician / Owner
Hey Hey! If we haven’t met yet, my name is Jess.
I’m the owner & founder of Lilac Sugaring.
A little about me...
I received my license in Esthetics in 2015 in my hometown of Anchorage, Alaska. While working at an express waxing Brow Bar, I was also working toward my Associate Degree in Accounting. I left Alaska with my degree in 2017 to move to Fort Collins, Colorado. After receiving my esthetics license in Colorado, I began working at a local waxing studio. From Colorado we moved to Portland to be closer to home (Alaska). Two years after living in Oregon, I was given the opportunity to open Lilac Sugaring. In my esthetics career so far I have completed the following certifications & trainings:
Sugar Babes Sugaring
Tamara's Professional Body Sugaring
Elleebana Lash Lifts, Brow Lamination, & Brow Henna
Bryght Intimate Skin Lightening
Hale & Hush Vajacial Certified
InfinitySun Spray Tans
Previous experience only, not offered at Lilac Sugaring:
South Seas Spray Tans
Lelexo Skin Care
Lilac Sugaring opened doors in August of 2021. We are still a new company and I am so excited to keep building and growing the brand. One of my goals for Lilac Sugaring, aside from offering excellent quality services to clients, is to be a positive influence in the community. There is a community board in the studio for local businesses & individuals to post their cards/stickers/etc.. I believe in collaboration over competition and try to support other small businesses in any way that I can! I love Portland and want to be a part of keeping it the inclusive and unique community I have found it to be.
As far as my personal life...
I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. This is where I met my person & fiance, Michael. We’ve been together since high school and now have 2 pups. Wedding date is set for July 20th, 2024 in our hometown, Anchorage, AK.
Our pups are Izzie & Nugget. We rescued Izzie April of 2018 in Colorado and adopted Nugget July of 2021 in Oregon.
I love to spend my free time crafting! I love yarn projects, sewing, and paper crafts. During football season, I spend as many Sundays curled up on the couch, sporting my Steelers gear and yelling at the TV. Stopping for coffee? I will never turn down a white chocolate americano or black tea with cream 🙂 I am also always down to see baby or pet pics!
Hope to see you soon at Lilac Sugaring or say Hi on social media!!
