Functional Beauty is truly amazing, above and beyond from the moment you walk in. It's the "vibe." :) Josie is fantastic, and the front desk team is so kind and welcoming. Everyone is super professional and warm-hearted. Josie provides reasonable options, clear explanations, and realistic expectations of your treatment. She clearly cares about her clients and gives recommendations of services that will provide you with your desired results. She will not let you select a treatment plan that's not right for you, and that says a lot. Super ethical. I give Functional Beauty my highest recommendation!! - Stasi W.

The absolute best. Josie (the owner) and her team work in harmony to make sure clients are fully supported and honored. Josie talks me through everything and is responsive to any concerns or questions I have. On my first visit, I asked about Botox and she said something to the effect of: oh, you don't need that. That would be a waste of your money. I really appreciated knowing that she wasn't solely money focused and actually does what is best for the client. I have been a client for a few years now and plan to be indefinitely. 10/10 highly recommend. - Natalie P.
I have been coming to Functional Beauty for over a year. Love the whole staff they treat you like family. Josie is the best.. she is honest and does not push for you to get additional treats. She will let you know if it’s something you need or not. I’m so delighted to have this place in Ventura County to go for my beauty needs.☺️ to stay looking my best and natural results - Arlene C.
I have been seeing Josie at Functional Beauty for a year now and I couldn’t be happier that I found them. I planned on just getting filler but eventually started getting wrinkle relaxer to balance an area I felt was uneven. I feel like Josie helps to set realistic expectations and I don’t ever have to worry about anything looking overdone or fake. I love the relaxed spa vibe and everyone is always so friendly. There is also no pressure to add on services or buy packages or memberships like other places. - Angela B.
Josie is amazing at what she does! She’s super knowledgeable and very considerate about hearing what your personal concerns and goals are for your face. She’s very moderate and honest which I love and appreciate! I have had Botox and past lip filler removal this far. I look forward to my next appointment with Josie. She’s professional, clean, and personable. Truly a great experience!! - Desiree W.
I will drive any length to be treated by Josie, I trust her with my entire face!! I especially appreciate that Josie pumps the breaks on me or my friends when we want to do more, more, more!! She also has impeccable taste in employees, her team is superior and one of a kind! - Marcella S.

What Everyone's Saying About Dalani
Functional Beauty is amazing! This was my first time ever getting botox and filler done and I wanted to make sure it looked very natural. Dalani listened to exactly what I was looking for and I absolutely love the results!! - Jamie C.
I've been to Dalani twice for Jeuveau injections, focusing on the forehead and glabellar lines between my brows. She did a fantastic job both times, I'm quite pleased with the results. The Jeuveau "kicked in" so quickly, just a few days. I have had Botox before from other practitioners but I thought perhaps I was getting too old for it, my brow felt heavy post treatment. I'm so glad I tried it again-- my results with Dalani and Jeuveau have been amazing! My brow is smooth and lifted, but looks natural and balanced. I don't even live in Ventura but have made appointments when I have visited. The office is beautiful, the staff is so kind, the whole experience was wonderful. - Tracy W.
Ive been coming here for almost a year now and I love it! Everyone is so welcoming here! Dalani is so sweet and she makes me feel so comfortable everytime im here. I have definitely been recommending this place to my friends 🧡 - Regina P.

Delani was very helpful, knowledgable and friendly. My service was laser hair removal and it was less painful than I have had before. Ness at the front was super friendly and helpful. This is my first time here, but I would recommend them to anyone!! - Kayla R.
I love coming here! Everyone is so warm and welcoming. I come here for multiple services. Today I came in for laser hair removal with Delani. She was so nice and very knowledgeable.

Uldine Castel MD
Medical Director
Dr. Castel grew up in the Santa Ynez Valley and moved to the East Coast for her educational years. She completed college in New York and medical school at Temple University in Philadelphia. After completing residency at Ventura County Medical Center in 2003, she started work as a Family Physician in the area.
Dr. Castel had done training in facial aesthetics and injections when she worked with HIV positive patients who suffered from facial changes sometimes seen from previous generation HIV medications. In addition to that, she also attended trainings given by top aesthetic providers in Los Angeles. This is where she met Josie Arrigoni.
As they got to know each other, they discovered that they had a very similar philosophy about beauty and how to approach this industry. Dr. Castel believes that beauty is mostly found "under the skin", but sometimes it takes softening lines and smoothing surfaces to be able to fully embrace someone's beauty. Feeling good about yourself is a lifelong, multidisciplinary journey and this is only one, small aspect of achieving it.
