I am so pleased with my experience at radiance laser!! I did a lot of research before going and it was worth it because Josefina is amazing! My only regret is that I didn’t start doing this sooner. I’m thrilled with my results and appreciate her honest and professional expertise.

Josefina helped me fix one of my biggest insecurities. I’ve always had really bad ingrown hair and discoloration in the bikini area and thought I would have to just live with it. It wasn’t till last summer where I found this place. The first consultation was really helpful and informative. Josefina explained the process and the results to be expected with my specific hair type. She made me very comfortable in something that I was very embarrassed about. During the consultation she gave me a quote and described the specials and discounts she offered. I originally was only gonna get a full bikini but she gave a bundle price for armpits too that I could not pass up.The actual laser appointments were super quick and it nothing compared to getting a Brazilian wax! I’ve been going to her for about a year (when I went back to college during the year I would drive 2 hours from Eugene to come to her) and I’m SO happy with the results. I no longer get ingrown hairs and there’s a dramatic reduction in how much hair that does grow back, they come back thinner and it takes longer for the hair to come back. Most importantly it’s made me so much more comfortable in my own skin! It’s worth the investment and Josefina is so sweet! Highly recommend:)

I just finished my last appointment with Josefina. She was always patient and kind, letting me ask tons of questions and calming my nerves.It honestly wasn’t very painful at all and I’ve had great results so far. Definitely recommend her.

Knowledgeable. Professional. Friendly. Fast. A smooth process (excuse the pun!) from start to finish.I came across Radiance through reputable google reviews but was also referred to them by my hair stylist. I scheduled a free consult with Josefina and it quickly became apparent that Josefina is one of the most knowledgeable people you will ever find in this field. To boot I found her to be patient with my many questions while remaining thorough and pleasant throughout it all. The technology she uses is great because its the results are great but also because I hardly feel anything at all. I just pop-on my ear buds and listen to music and before I know its all done and Im on my way home.Josefina and her assistant Ana are aces and Im glad to be a client at Radiance!

Josefina provides excellent service and my experience at Radiance Laser has been a wonderful one. She provided thorough information and is very diligent. Her space is impeccably clean and she has provided a safe, comfortable environment for her customers. I highly recommend her and her business!

Great explanation of the process and procedure by Josefina. Undergoing a series of treatments of the PIA beard shaving areas. Exceptionally clean, organized, and well run facility.

I have been working with Josefina for over a year and have recommended her services to many people. When I get any modification done to my body, whether waxing, laser, tattooing, even haircuts, I want to feel confident in my practitioner of choice and their place of practice.Josefina is amazing in her field, taking the time to educate me on hair growth, even going into telogen and anagen cycles of the hair follicle, clearly notifying me of any risks, taking my skin type into account, and thoroughly listening to my expectations of the treatments. So, confidence in practitioner? check.Josefinas studio pre-covid was immaculate and calming, with a spa like serenity, snacks and tee, as well as brightly lit. The changes Josefina put into effect for COVID were beyond any other aesthetician I have visited. She installed a sink in the waiting room, so every visitor must wash their hands upon entry. Next, you have a consent form to fill out, again, reinforcing that we are in a pandemic and you need to be educated on the risks. Once this is signed with your sanitized pen, you are ushered into your own room, remaining completely separated from other clientele.As stated, Josefina has always kept a beautifully clean treatment area, but she added disposable sheets, extra wipes in a hands free container. Lastly, Josefina herself has taken the extra step of not only wearing a mask, but full scrubs, gloves, etc . So, confidence in place of practice? check check check.I have now visited Josefina multiple times during the COVID pandemic, and have been confident in my decision to go each time, knowing I am going to someone who is taking my health and the health of our community seriously. She has gone beyond the base level expectations of re-opening during quarantine, and has set an example for what we should all be doing to respect each others health during this time.

My laser experience with Josefina has been so fantastic. I loved that she was very honest about what I should expect from my planned six treatments. Its important to go in knowing that for most of us there will always be a little hair left over. The laser cant get the fine, blonde fuzz or lighter hairs. That said, I still have had better than expected results and highly recommend the service. Its lovely that she lets you pay as you go so you dont have to fork over a huge chunk of change at the beginning. It makes it much more doable to have it spread out over the year.Also, I have to mention that it was pain free! I just put on headphones and relaxed for an hour while the service was done. I never expected laser to be such a mellow experience! Shes also such a lovely and calming presence. She explained the science behind everything to me in detail and was always so warm and friendly.

Josefina is amazing!!! Not only are my bikini laser treatment results perfect, she’s so sweet and fun to talk to. The perfect balance between personable and professional. Her laser treatment office is very clean, smells lovely and is beautiful. Highly recommend her for laser treatment!

Josefina is the absolute best! She is so kind, thoughtful and sensitive which is very important when you are treating areas that may make you feel vulnerable. I had hair in areas that made me feel so uncomfortable and lack confidence and she was able to make me feel like a new woman and love the body that I am in. I would recommend her to everyone for their laser hair removal needs!

Review №13

I visited Josefina on the FIRST day that multnomah county entered phase I. The work her and her team put in to going above and beyond suggested COVID protocol was apparent. As soon as I entered the waiting room, there was a posted sign directing me to wash my hands (in a newly installed sink!), be aware of my surroundings and what I was touching, and to sign a consent form acknowledging the risks of COVID. Knowing that, not only had everyone washed their hands before touching anything, but had also been forced to READ THE DOCUMENT and recognize the severity of the situation made me feel very comfortable. On top of that, you sign your form with a pen that is then put in a SEPARATE bin, which are then cleaned before the next person comes in. Oh, did I mention she created 2 separate areas, so that checking out is now separate from the waiting area? This means you literally are COMPLETELY separated at all times from other patrons, and the waiting room is cleaned in the interim. Disposable sheets were placed on the beds. The room is as spic and span as Josefina always has it, with added precautions of disposable wipes that you do not need to touch the container to grab, the lovely Josefina in scrubs, a mask, and gloves, as well as a requirement to wear a mask for your appointment. Josefina really REALLY is setting the example of how a business should reopen during this time. She always had a high level of sanitation, but she truly out did herself. As someone who works in infectious diseases, I felt confident leaving her studio that I had not encountered an increase in infection risk by going to my appointment. And, as always, my laser treatment was filled with engaging conversation, discussion of future treatments, and time for me to express any concerns or questions.

This place was a game changer for me. Granted, not all people respond to laser, but it worked beautifully for me. Josefina is a joy. She carefully explains what you can expect and quickly gets you in and out. There is a parking lot, that’s I can usually find a space. I highly recommend this place for laser hair removal

Review №17

Josefina is the best! I cant tell you how happy I am to have been recommended to go to her. I have had many laser hair removal treatments from several practitioners over the years, but none have given me nearly as effective results as Josefina. She told me from the start what she thought my success rate might be considering I have hair that is somewhat light. She was very honest and listened to my concerns. Im so happy I went ahead with the treatment because the results were even better than we expected!Go see her! Shes be by far the best of many providers Ive seen... And she cracks some good jokes too!

I had an incredibly great experience working with Josefina! After having read reviews on Radiance Laser, I was thoroughly impressed with my results as well. She was realistic about the work she would do and took the time to explain what exactly I needed. I truly appreciate the care and attention I got from her and her staff. I can not recommend Radiance Laser enough!

Wish I had done this sooner! Josefina is wonderful and my long history of ingrown hairs is now long in the past. My skin seems much tighter, lighter, and (possibly?) younger, too. I will definitely recommend Josefina to friends.

AMAZING laser results. Truly not an exaggeration. Did two areas at first and results were so fantastic, I committed to legs. Immediate results that have sustained after five or six months. Just two more to go and DONE. Picked up a razor out of habit last week and put it back down. Major time saver! Two super important points... No pain at all. A little zap here and there, but overall very comfortable. And, they wont laser you if you are not a good candidate for it and they dont think youll get good results. Very honest and super accommodating. Also, VERY humorous and just lovely humans. Take a good joke in with you!All in all, worth the investment. Writing the review because they really deserve word of mouth. Ive even referred waxing specialists. ;) Big thank you to Josefina and Hailey

I have been seeing Josefina for over a year now. I started with laser on my arm pits and kept adding on areas because first and foremost, it’s the first place I’ve been to where I’ve seen amazing results. She is also very thorough, professional, kind and makes every appointment feel like a spa experience.If you have been considering laser, I’d highly recommend setting up an appointment here - her and her staff are just the best!!

Cant explain how much this place changed my life! Josefina is so sweet and great to work with. She really takes the time to explain how the treatments will work, what the expected effects will be, and works to make you feel as comfortable as possible. She made these appointments something I really look forward to. Aside from the great environment, I cannot rave enough about the results. Ive had 6 treatments on my upper lip so far over the past 6 months, and I think I can be bold enough to say its been life changing. I was tweezing and shaving for years, and my upper lip had become rough, uneven, and awkwardly dark. After only one treatment, the skin lightened up and smoothed out immediately. I couldnt believe it. Josefina is a miracle worker, and I would recommend her to anyone!! ABSOLUTELY worth the investment. My pictures speak for themselves.

A friendly atmosphere, on my last visit I saw Sarah at the location on Wall Street. She was super friendly, took extra care to do a great job, was meticulous in her work, and was warm, kind and caring. Id highly recommend seeing her and was glad she was at the Wall Street location.

Review №28

I have been a client here since 2015, coming in regularly for my every 6 month treatments. I am a nurse practitioner and value safe and effective care. For that reason, I shopped around before landing on radiance. Josefina the owner, holds certifications from the Board of Laser Safety and Allied Beauty Experts as a certified laser professional. Her pricing was much more affordable than the medical spas and cosmetic dermatology practices I was looking into. She was honest up front about the results she expected based on my skin tone and hair color. This helped me make an informed decision about the up front investment in laser hair removal. I got much better results than she predicted, but I so appreciated her up front honesty! She is professional and knowledgeable. She provides clear before and after care instructions and if followed you won’t get a rash or redness. Highly recommend!FYI Im posting under my husbands account!

Josefina is great, and her staff is wonderful too! She makes sure that you are comfortable during the session and that your experience is as pain-free as possible. Plus I saw results after my first session. I am definitely staying with Josefina for all of my laser hair removal needs.

Ingrowns completely gone after getting laser on bikini and under arms. josefina is a joy to talk with and so gentle throughout the whole process. although i have dark skin and course hair, so not everything was able to be permanently removed, about 80% is gone and main concern was to reduce ingrowns which i was satisfied with.

Review №32

The best hair removal experience Ive ever had, hands down.Ive tortured myself with electrolysis previously, and watched friends endure painful laser sessions. But my experience at Radiance was almost completely pain-free. Josefina has an excellent pain management routine. I got the most sensitive part of my upper lip zapped, and barely felt a thing.I received six treatments, and after a year Ive had very little regrowth. Whats left is easy to pluck. I started with enough hair, and thick enough hair, that I had to shave regularly. Now I can get ready in the morning without dreading the mirror!

Radiance Laser Cosmetics is the real deal! As a first-time laser customer, I had no idea what to expect (except for general goodness, as suggested by their stellar reviews). I was absolutely wowd from the moment I arrived!!First of all - the people of Radiance: Josefina is even better than the best reviews state - she is extremely knowledgeable, communicative, warm, and professional. She spends the extra time to explain the how behind the magic - you are never left guessing or wondering. She really makes sure all your needs are met - every effort is made to ensure that you are comfortable and happy. She and Vecsy, her lovely assistant, make for a fantastic team. They are both organized, humorous, down to earth, kind, and fun. I really enjoy coming in for my treatments! Who knew Id be getting ab work from all the belly laughs.The laser itself: Josefina walks you through every step of the process with the goal of making it as pain-free as possible. It went by so quickly, and was not at all painful as I had thought it might be. It feels like a rubber-band snap, but softer (for me). I saw positive results after my very first treatment - I couldnt believe it! I was and still am so excited to see where I will be once my sessions are completed.Business-wise: Josefina is completely transparent from the beginning about what she is aiming for in terms of realistic results. Theres several factors at play (pigment of skin and hair), and she will tell you what can be achieved given your unique specifics. Their price-point is fantastic - you will get so much more than your moneys worth by coming to Radiance (and they even have complimentary snacks and wine, should you want to treat yourself during your visit.)Radiance is the very best, no question. They make laser hair removal easy and fun! I am so grateful to have found Radiance - I highly recommend them!!

The esthetician, Josefina, was amazing! She made me feel comfortable and was super nice. The whole process was explained throughly and she took her time to make sure my needs were met. Despite the awesome customer service, she had lower prices than most other places in town. I highly recommend Radiance!

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 didnt 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!
