Hi, my name is Judy and I’m the owner of Smooth Effects Kamloops.

I moved from Prince George to Kamloops in 2013. My husband and I have 4 children so we have an extremely busy home life, and we also enjoy camping and traveling as a family. Once my children were a little older, I started to look for a business opportunity that would allow me to balance my busy lifestyle, while still providing a solid income. In March of 2016, I purchased the Smooth Effects franchise in Kamloops. Having a strong background in business and a love for aesthetics, I found Smooth Effects to be the perfect fit.

My aspiration is to help clients achieve their desired skin goals while maintaining the highest standard in confidentiality and client care. With the help of my fabulous team of laser technicians and skin care experts; together we will ensure you have a great experience in our professional, clean, and comfortable atmosphere.

Smooth Effects Kelowna

Kelsey Agar

Hi, my name is Kelsey and I am the owner of Smooth Effects Kelowna.

I absolutely love being a part of the Smooth Effects team. After receiving my Certification in Advanced Dermal Skin Care and Laser Technologies in February of 2014, I immediately started working as a full time laser technician in the lower mainland. With the desire to get back to my hometown in the Okanagan, I started my career with Smooth Effects as an employee at the Smooth Effects Kamloops franchise in October of 2014 and then transferred to Smooth Effects Vernon in January of 2015. In May of 2017 I purchased the Smooth Effects Kelowna franchise. I have always had the desire to own and operate my own laser clinic and Smooth Effects gave me that! I love being a part of a franchise with such a strong support network of like-minded businesswomen to support me in excelling at running my business smoothly.

My goal is to bring my wealth of laser knowledge and expertise in skin care to the beautiful city of Kelowna. I pride myself on taking a results orientated approach with my clients to ensure they are receiving the best possible care before, during, and after their treatment. I hope to inspire clients, with the help of my wonderful team, by continuing to grow and learn in this forever changing and evolving industry.

When I am not in the clinic I enjoy spending my spare time taking road trips, camping and hiking with my husband. I also spend much of my spare time doing photography. Having a fine eye for detail not only helps me in my photography but in the clinic as well.

Feel free to connect with me via email kelowna@smootheffects.ca or phone 250-860-0005.

Smooth Effects Penticton

Bethany Armstrong

Hi, my name is Bethany and I’m the owner of Smooth Effects Penticton.

I love being an entrepreneur!

My journey began in 2006 as a wedding planner, and in 2011, I added the largest bridal trade show to the Okanagan. In 2012, my brother and I took over our dad’s tattoo and piercing business (my brother is the talent, and I handled the backend). As if I wasn’t busy enough, I thought, "Why not start another business?" While I enjoyed the hustle of running multiple businesses, it was time to focus on my true passion.

Growing up with cystic acne and unwanted body hair made me insecure, but it also ignited a deep desire I didn’t realize I had. It was actually a friend of mine who introduced me to this world! She was pursuing her dream, and I decided to tag along and see what this new world had to offer. Let’s just say, I became obsessed!

In 2018, after a lot of hard work and training, I opened my own franchise in Penticton, BC, with the best company on the market. What an incredible experience it has been! Working with the top professionals in the industry is something I’ve always strived for, as it allows us to provide the absolute best services possible. I’ve truly found my passion! This work is incredibly rewarding, and it’s amazing to see the life-changing results it brings.

To fully focus on Smooth Effects, I sold my other businesses in 2018, and my brother became the sole owner of the family business. I stay busy with my daughter by my side, and I smile every day knowing how lucky I am. The Okanagan Valley will always be my home, and I am deeply in love with it. Penticton has welcomed me with open arms, and the people here are so warm and friendly. I’m excited to share my passion and expertise with all my current and future clients.
