After many, many months since my last facial and wanting to treat myself after just having my baby, I booked some time with Machelle. I'm so happy that I did! Machelle is very kind and gentle, and the facial was exactly what I needed. My skin was glowing and was not irritated at all. I was so happy with it that I booked my next one as soon as we were done. read more

Affordable and client-centered! I've been seeing Machelle since 2019, mainly for her specially tailored waxes, but I've also enjoyed a rejuvenating facial that left my skin glowing for days (and yes, people noticed). Machelle is meticulous, attentive, and truly cares about her clients. My monthly bikini waxes are quick, seamless, and surprisingly delightful. Machelle has a wonderfully bubbly and engaging personality. Conversations with her are as much a part of the experience as her expert care. Her business is is full of positive energy. I highly recommend! read more

I have been seeing Machelle for over a year for waxing and skincare services. She is by far the best esthetician I have worked with. Her warm personality and client focused approach makes her my top choice. She is committed to making her clients feel confident. I highly recommend her small business. read more

Machelle did an EXCELLENT job removing my back hair. I'm a guy in my 50's and this was my first back hair removal. I was expecting super HOT wax and a painful hair removal procedure. What I received was nice, warm wax and a hair removal process that wasn't even painful. Machelle didn't rush her work and I am sure that was a key part of how she made the process as painless as possible. I'll be back in a few weeks. My recommendation is "If you're gonna get your back waxed; Flawless by Machelle is THE place to go!" Alan read more

Machelle is amazing! She makes the Brazilian as painless as possible--definitely the least painful I've ever gotten (I'm no expert but I'm no noob either). And there was no pain or irritation afterwards (like at Euro Wax where they rush and do a bad job). She makes you feel very comfortable and is easy to talk to. I can't recommend her enough! Also, it can be a bit confusing to find her. It's a little grayish two-story building and enter by going up the stairs on the right side of the building. Parking is either metered or free (around the corner) for 2 hrs. Hopefully that helped! read more

Came in with a groupon for a Brazilian and Machelle made me feel so comfortable! She clearly knows what she's doing and is a great person to talk to! Can't wait for my next appt! read more

Machelle is absolutely wonderful! Having tried multiple waxing locations, I switched to waxing myself since I did a better job then most of them. However, I was unable to wax myself due to a fracture elbow and I found Machelle's deal on LivingSocial. Each experience since has always been pleasant. Machelle does a great job and is very thorough. She doesn't rush and makes you feel comfortable. Half of the time I don't even feel the pain while she's waxing since we're both chatting away and laughing. She's extremely knowledgeable and doesn't try to force feed you products to buy like some others. I recently got a "quickie facial" from her and it was incredible. If you're tired of botched wax jobs and being harassed to spend $40 on a tube of liquid nothing and you want a relaxing experience with good vibes, come to Machelle. I highly recommend her. =) read more

Just had my first facial ever - wow, what a difference! My skin is glowing! I had the "get to know you facial" which included a cleanser, exfoliation, and steam treatment. While the steam worked its magic, Machelle treated me to a relaxing neck and shoulder massage that felt like heaven. I also had a microdermabrasion treatment, which I think helped to remove the many years worth of dull, dry skin layers. Finished off with a tinted moisturizer with SPF. I feel like I have a new face! Machelle also gave me a small sample cleanser to take with me (since I had no cleanser at home - I'm pretty low-maintenance with the beauty routine!). Machelle is wonderful - warm, personable, down-to-earth - she made me feel right at home. Her studio is in a lovely Victorian in Midtown Sacramento and is beautifully decorated. Can't wait for my next facial! read more

This review is long overdue! I absolutely love coming to Machelle for my services. Not only is she kind, but she is excellent at what she does. I have been coming to her for over 3 years now and I wouldn't go to anyone else! read more

I bought her Groupon and I LOVE her! I get microderms about once a month because the estethicians at Ulta reccomend it. But when I told her this, she looked at me shocked and said "what! You're so young. You definitely don't need to do it that often, your skin is fine and they're just trying to swindle you". This made me feel comfortable, and she gave me cheap skin care tips throughout the whole session and some honest advice. Machelle is amazing! read more

Let me just start by saying that I have never had a wax or a facial before, on a whim, I decided to give them both a shot. Before the wax I was super nervous, but Machelle was amazing! She made me feel completely at ease right away! And while it wasn't the most comfortable thing, she helped me get through it and now I keep coming back. I was having some issues with my skin the beginning of the year and was starting to break out and was trying everything. During one of the wax sessions I was speaking to Machelle about it and she suggested I try a certain product, which she had trial bottles for. I loved the product and then decided, what the heck, I will get a facial. Three facials later, with obviously clearer skin, I cannot thank Machelle enough! I would recommend visiting her as soon as you get a chance! She is amazing and always provides the right suggestions on what to try, especially, wear your sunscreen :) read more

I came to Machelle on a Groupon back in 2018 I don't regret it one bit ! She is the sweetest and most perkiest person . Her techniques are great for waxing she makes it a painless as possible . 100% recommend giving her a chance . She has great availability as well read more

Had my brazilian done by Machelle today and it was a great experience! Plenty of outside parking, walk up the stairs of a cute victorian house and Machelle is in that building. She has a cute, clean room and lets you pick the music she plays while you have your waxing, facial, etc done! Machelle is very good at making you feel as comfortable as possible while having a brazilian done and honestly, it didnt hurt that much. She is very informative and answers all questions! PS if your considering the groupon as a new client, dont buy it as it takea 50% of her profit - she will honor your groupon price for first time clients :) read more

Went here for my second Brazilian and to get my brows done. Machelle made me feel so comfortable! She explained everything she was doing and why, gave me privacy, made recommendations, and made sure I knew everything about after care. We had a lovely conversation during my wax, she is so easy to talk to, it felt like talking to an old friend. She even asked what kind of music I wanted to listen to. She also gives discounts for students fyi! She was sweet, professional, and my wax looks, well, flawless! Thank you Machelle!! read more

I had a great waxing experience with Machelle. She's very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. I was referred to Machelle by a co-worker and I will definitively refer her to my friends. I have found my new waxing place and look forward to her doing my first ever facial. read more

I absolutely recommend going to Flawless by Machelle. She makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed, good conversation, she is gentle and does a wonderful job. read more

The first time I got a facial from Machelle was in February 2014, at Luxe Salon and Spa. A year and a half (and couple locations) later, I am still coming to her for services every month, and follow all her skincare advice. She offers a variety of different facials based on your needs, with microdermabrasion and high frequency facial treatments available. She uses Image skincare line for her facials, and it works wonders on my skin. Machelle also offers waxing to her customers, and I've had her do my eyebrows a few times with excellent results. Trust me: if you want to pamper yourself, schedule a facial with Machelle and you won't be disappointed. read more

First off, Machelle is awesome! Makes you feel so welcome, and really knows her stuff. I had been looking into a solution to clear up some old acne scars for a while now,and finally decided to see what could be done. We easily decided microdermobrasion would be the best way to start. Just two visits and there is a noticeable difference already! I'm so happy, and can't wait to see final results! I'd recommend Machelle to anyone who wants to see an improvement in their skin. read more

Machelle was extremely courteous, personable, and gave me a wonderful wax that was nearly painless, especially after 6 months! She really listened to and did exactly what I wanted. In conversation regarding skin care products, I found her to be extremely knowledgeable and would use her for facials as well. This was definitely a "Groupon /living social " deal that did more than just save me money. It led me to a great esthetician and person! I highly recommend Machelle! Warm, clean, nicely appointed place of business is always a bonus! read more

Loved my facial ! Machelle was very pleasant and made our time fly, she did a great job making my skin feel glowy! I definitely want to come back. Her place is also very relaxing. read more

Machelle is truly amazing! It's as if we've known each other for ages even though I've only been there twice now. She knows what she's doing and she does it very well and the music she plays is very soothing also. I have no plans on going elsewhere. I am impressed. Thank you Machelle! read more

Machelle is located in the same building as my massage therapist. I decided to see her as I needed a new facialist. She had a great Groupon offer which made it even more appealing. Looking at her menu, I requested the Get to Know You Facial and added on Microdermabrasion. Machelle and I clicked instantly. She gave me a wonderful relaxing facial with the microdermabrasion. She carefully explained what she was doing and the benefits therein. I am bringing my eighty two year old mother to see her next week for a treat. Because of my experience with Machalle, I know my mother will love her. Now, I am on a monthly schedule of facials which I look forward to having. read more
