New Beginnings

We are so happy to be back in Downtown Gresham - it feels like coming home. The response we have gotten from the community has inspired us to return to our roots - a commitment to creating a personal atmosphere, dedicated to providing exceptional customer service and a peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle that is life.

We started a business in 1993 with the hope of being able to sell lotions and body products. Because of you, our business evolved into a full service salon and spa dedicated to providing an unimaginable experience and quality products while remaining committed to the environment. As we all know, unexpected events come up in life that require decisions that support the needs of our families. In 2007, we made the decision to sell Body & Soul and were very sad to see the company we built and cared about close it's doors just last year.

After much soul searching and encouragement from the Gresham community, we decided to open a new Day Spa. Although we have created a new look for the space, we are still dedicated to creating a serene environment and providing top quality products and customer service.

After confiding in my mother - who is an artist at heart - about our new venture, she came up with the perfect name: pen⋅ti⋅men⋅"Painting. The presence or emergence of earlier images, forms, or strokes that have been changed and painted over". Sounds just right!

Thank you for your continued support, it has been amazing to see so many familiar faces and hear so many encouraging words. We are very excited to be back and are thankful for the amazing team we have at Pentimento. Continue to follow our Blog for the latest updates, and we would love for you to come enjoy our services or even just stop by to say hello!

Sincerely,
Shalynn, Ken & Alisa Blocker
