Smooth Effects Kamloops

Judy Walcher

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

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

I’ve called Kamloops home since 2013. My husband and I have four children, so family life has always been busy. When my youngest started kindergarten, I knew I wanted to pursue a career that was both fulfilling and flexible enough to fit our family lifestyle. I began exploring business opportunities that would allow me to build something of my own while maintaining the flexibility I needed at home.

In March 2016, I took the leap and purchased the Smooth Effects franchise in Kamloops. With my background in business and my passion for aesthetics, I quickly knew I had found the perfect fit.

Over the years, laser hair removal has become a true passion of mine. There is something incredibly rewarding about seeing the difference these treatments can make, not only in the way someone looks, but in how they feel about themselves. Helping clients feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

I’m also incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful team of skilled laser technicians and skincare experts. Together, we are committed to providing every client with knowledgeable, personalized care in a professional, clean, and comfortable environment.

Do you have questions about laser or skin care? I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to connect via email kamloops@smootheffects.ca or phone 250-372-2261.

Smooth Effects Kelowna

Kelsey Agar

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

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I’m the proud owner of Smooth Effects Kelowna, a mom of two. I love spending my free time outdoors with my family, whether we’re camping, traveling, or exploring the beautiful Okanagan.

I’ve been passionate about skincare and laser technology for over a decade. After earning my Certification in Advanced Dermal Skin Care and Laser Technologies in February 2014, I 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 began my career with Smooth Effects as an employee at the Smooth Effects Kamloops franchise in October 2014. In 2015, I transferred to Smooth Effects Vernon, and in 2017, I achieved my dream of owning my own clinic by purchasing Smooth Effects Kelowna.

I consider myself a total “skin nerd” and thrive on staying up-to-date in this ever-evolving industry. I’m always taking advanced training courses with my team to ensure we bring the latest techniques and advancements to our clients. I also developed our exclusive ProRadiance LED Light Therapy Mask, which is designed to deliver professional-grade light therapy for glowing, healthy skin. My goal is to provide exceptional, results-driven care before, during, and after treatments, helping my clients achieve their skin goals while building lasting relationships.

I look forward to connecting with you and helping you on your skincare journey! Feel free to reach out to me at kelowna@smootheffects.ca or 250-860-0005, and be sure to follow us on Instagram at @smootheffectskelowna.

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.
