Radiance Laser Cosmetics

Josefina is amazing!
She did laser hair removal on a few areas for me. She was very thorough and went through the entire process with me on my first appointment. She eased all of my concerns and I knew exactly what to expect during all of my visits. She was always punctual and the room is very clean and relaxing.
I’ve been thrilled with the results and can’t believe I waited so long to do this!

Josephina has made a huge positive difference in my life. I have a light complexion with darkish hair growing on my neck, cheek, lip and chin. My first appointment didn’t yield a lot of positive results but she pulled out a few of her tricks and my second appointment made a huge difference. She does everything she can to make the procedure the least unpleasant and honestly their is hardly any discomfort during the treatment. I have had no negative result from the procedure like burning or rashes. But the hair was noticeably reduced after the second treatment. I am feeling very hopeful about this and owe it all to Josephina. She really cares!

josefina is as wonderful as all of her reviews say. she is a great communicator and so warm and I’ve had great success with my treatments. I recommend josefina without hesitation!

It was others’ Unilocal reviews that led me to Josefina, and now I’m going to return the favor with my own glowing review! This is my second time undergoing laser, after seeing someone different about 10 years ago. Under Josefina’s care, and ‘care’ is definitely the right word here, I felt way less pain during the treatments themselves, and I was immediately happy with the lasting results. Josefina is a pro at what she does, but it’s her caring approach that makes all the difference. She truly wants you to be thrilled with the results, and ensures that you’re comfortable and well cared for during appointments. She has a sweet sense of humor, too. For many people, getting rid of unwanted hair is a life-​changing experience, and I can’t imagine anyone better than Josefina to care for and guide you.

I’ve been going to Josefina for about a year now and the results are amazing! I had been to 2 other places before with no results! Go see her if you are looking for a painless results she is great!

Josefina is a life changer and she has five star reviews across the board for good reason! Located inside the Glow Boutique Salon, Josefina’s Radiance Laser Cosmetics has a provided a solution to a problem that has bugged me for years. My hair is so thick I’ve broken brushes in it and while the rest of my body isn’t as shaggy as my head, I want everything gone from the neck down. I’ve tried every kind of razor and shaving lotion. I’ve been waxed with hard, soft, and sugar wax, and developed all kinds of breathing techniques to manage the pain. And a few months ago I decided to get a consultation on laser hair removal based on who was local and had great reviews. I was shocked to discover laser hair removal is perfect and painless. In every sense of the word.
Josefina is very thorough and thoughtful in her work. It’s very important to her that you’re comfortable and she doesn’t irritate your skin. For those who haven’t had laser work done, you shave before you come in and she’ll make sure the area she’s working with is iced down to prevent swelling and irritation. A gel is applied, your eyes are covered so you’re not uncomfortable from the bright light she uses and she zaps the follicles closed. «Zap» being an exaggeration because the most you feel is a pin prick and sometimes barely that. You know how your friend said some kind of waxing was «painless» and it actually meant it hurt slightly less than another kind of waxing? That’s not this. Lasering has been pain free for me!
I’ve had zero ingrowns or problems afterwards. You will need follow up appointments every 4 – 6 weeks, but after your sixth appointment, you’ll only need 1 – 2 appointments every year after that, and of course, depending on how your body reacts. Be sure to ice your skin afterwards if it gets red or irritated to reduce swelling, but I’ve barely had any problems with that since Josefina takes great care to be sure she works at the right settings for your skin. It can be a little expensive depending on what you want done, but this is an investment I’m so relieved to be making and it is worth every penny for peace of mind. Josefina is the kindest, most thorough, attentive, and respectful aesthetician I’ve ever worked with and I’m notoriously persnickety about this. I have nothing but positive things to say about her, and her schedule has vastly expanded since I met her so it’s pretty clear Portland thinks well of her too!
Like many other women, I’ve grown up hearing about how you should love yourself the way you are and how you were made naturally, but ladies (and gentlemen), you’re allowed to be happy. I am so relieved to have some peace of mind by getting rid of unwanted hair. I never thought there could be a permanent solution to this frustration and I can’t say enough about how much Radiance has changed my life for the better. Thank you, Josefina!

Having worked as an esthetician my self, not only do I have very high expectations of the places I recommend people to, but have even higher expectations of anyone I decide to receive services from. I would not hesitate in recommending Josefina to everyone! Men and women. From the moment I spoke to her on the phone I could tell she was very professional. The day of my first consultation and treatment she made me feel very comfortable. I have waited a few months after starting my hair removal treatment to write this review so I could give the best feedback possible. Everything is one on one. I’ve never had to deal with anyone other than her for any questions regarding my treatment. Every treatment has been completely pain free, without any complications what so ever, I noticed a huge difference in my hair growth just a few days after my first treatment. She’s made me feel like a guest in her home, very funny caring but overall professional. Do not go to those big companies where they just take your money. Make sure you get what you pay for and more by going with Josefina. I will continue to be a loyal customer and continue to recommend her.

I had a wonderful experience here! I have been battling ingrowns and some thick, dark hair on my face and neck for years now. Josefina is consummate professional and she really took care of me. She explains every step and makes you feel super comfortable during each visit. Best of all she resolved my hair problems– all of them. I should have done this years ago! She’s so good I recommended her to my husband. He’s a physician and expects a lot from places where he does business. He has some hair follicle issues on his neck and he said he could see improvements after the 2^nd visit! Anyways we are truly very happy with our results and I wholeheartedly recommend Josefina.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful my experience with Josefina has been. She takes the time to make sure I am relaxed and comfortable. The laser hair removal itself is fast and painless. I started seeing results after the first visit! If you’re looking for someone, definitely go to Josefina. You won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been going to Josefina for the last few months for laser treatments for my face and neck and am very pleased with the results. She was able to get rid of the hair and also help lessen the skin discoloration I had on my neck which I didn’t think was possible. I agree with the other reviews that she makes the experience very relaxing and comfortable and has a great personality. Very highly recommended.

I’ve been seeing Josefina for several months and have been happy with the results. She is very concerned about her customers and works hard to make us comfortable (ex– offers ice to prevent pain, has warm blankets and comfy bed to help customers relax, plays soothing music). She’s also very sweet and not intimidating at all.

First time ever doing laser. Josefina is the sweetest woman ever. Takes the time to make you feel like you are a guest in her home. Very informative and thorough, while not rushing you and giving you time and asking if you have questions. She made me feel very comfortable, she always is cracking jokes. But when it comes time to do her job. She is absolutely professional and caters to you. It’s all you could ask for really.

I just had my first laser hair removal done here and the esthetician explained everything really thoroughly and made me feel comfortable. She seemed very experienced and meticulous and was super nice to boot!

I encourage anyone who is thinking of trying laser to go to Josefina! She will make you feel at ease and like a friend when you are with her. I was very skeptical and scared of laser but after seeing the results and no pain with her doing this, I’m a customer for life! I will continue to be a loyal customer as long as she is in business.
Anyone who is scared of doing this needs to visit her one time, she will make you feel comfortable and not afraid and the results are amazing!!!

What a wonderful experience! I completed several treatments and was very pleased with the results. Josefina’s salon is welcoming… hot tea and soothing music while you undergo painLESS treatment. Great customer service and she truly cares about you as a customer to make sure the experience is as positive and effective as possible. I would highly recommend Radiance Laser Cosmetics.
