Nicole Pappas, licensed electrologist and advanced esthetician, was born and raised in NY, residing in Portland, OR since 2017, where she currently runs her own electrology studio. Nicole’s career began in 2003 when she received certification from Christine Valmay International School of Esthetics. Over the years she practiced skin care and massage therapy in New York, New Jersey, California, and Pennsylvania, in a variety of settings from resorts to gyms, day spas to waxing studios, and for the last decade primarily at med spas. In the start of 2022, Nicole shifted her focus solely towards permanent hair removal, attending school at Monterey Bay Institute of Electrology. Following the acquisition of her Oregon state electrology license, Nicole established her studio at Cosmos Collective in Portland.
Nearly 20 years in the esthetics industry has affirmed my specialty in skin care. I want to not only permanently remove any unwanted hair, but it’s important to me that we maintain the integrity of your skin while doing it through choosing the modality that is most appropriate for your skin and hair type. I believe that your treatments should leave you with beautifully hair free skin, even glowing.
When I’m not decimating hair you can find me weaving baskets, hiking with my partner and dog or cuddling my two sweet and sour cats.
