HEY BABE, I'M MARISA
I’m a native Oregonian who is passionate, ambitious and loves taking care of my clients like family. My friends say I put people at ease and make people feel comfortable, and if that’s not a gift when it’s tail up time, I don’t know what is. I’ll happily join the fun on most topics and be all ears. Life is beautiful enough to share our interests and gifts with each other, ya know!? While I’m not at the studio, I’m building a home with my husband and baby girl; and spending quality time with my girlfriends. It takes us all.
meet the owner-operator-extrodinaire,
MARISA GREER.
about
THE STUDIO
This studio is a new beginning and only the start, again. I have a huge heart and a bright mind and am excited to take my business to whatever levels feel good. In the meantime, I’m moving toward an artful and cozy atmosphere that will evolve with time.

I had never gotten my eyebrows professionally waxed or tinted, nor had I gotten my eyelashes lifted or tinted until I went to Marisa. She was absolutely amazing! She perfectly shaped my brows which are very light blonde, and the tinting made them look better than they have ever looked! My eyelashes have also been on fleek, and I wake up feeling so much more fabulous than before. Also, she is just a gem of a human; so sweet and easy to talk to. I will definitely be rebooking!

This salon space is welcoming and fun, it’s also clean and private. As a consumer of such an intimate service, those things are really important to me. I had been going to waxing-chains before switching to waxing by MJ, and my only regret is not making the switch sooner!! No wonder all of my girlfriends come here. Hands down, the BEST experience ever. Come see Marisa, you will not be sorry! Her attention to detail, efficiency and personality will have you walking out of her salon feeling and looking your best.

I've been getting waxed by MJ for 3 years now. She's incredible. Her shop has a down to earth vibe, her customer service is out of this world. 10/10 recommend!

I recently moved to Portland, OR and was in search of a new place to have my brows done. I saw a friend posted about WaxingbyMJ and I started to follow her insta page. I knew I’d eventually get around to booking, when she featured a giveaway contest for a Brazilian, I entered and ended up winning! I’d never had a Brazilian and was terrified, but excited to give it a whirl (free right, no biggie). I booked brows for the same day. Booking was extremely easy. Marisa texted me day of to give directions, and she made me feel extremely comfortable. The space is clean, and Marisa is so relatable. I immediately rebooked at the end of my appointment. I’d highly recommend her for anyone’s waxing needs!!

Marisa always takes her time and makes sure to provide the best service. Every experience is great! Her work space is always sparkling clean! I’ve been going to Marissa since moving to Portland over 2 years ago and she’s my favorite! Best in the city, hands down!

Marisa is so great! I recently got my eyebrows and Brazilian done by her and she was very thorough and quick. She was so sweet and her space is beautiful and clean! I will definitely be going back and I recommend her to everyone!
Jess Gaisford
I appreciate Marisa’s service. She is really careful and thorough. It’s easy to schedule services on the web, and her new location is great - bright, clean, and very convenient.
