I can't recommend Michelle and Florencia Spa enough. Her approach is truly clinical and results-driven--she takes the time to assess your skin, evaluate your routine and products, explain what it needs, and tailor each treatment accordingly. I always walk out feeling amazing, and my skin is noticeably healthier, clearer, and more balanced after every appointment. The difference isn't subtle; the results last. Scheduling is flexible and easy, which I really appreciate, and she offers a great range of services, from customized facials to waxing. Professional, knowledgeable, and consistently excellent--she's the best investment I've made in my skin. read more

I've been going to Michelle at Florencia Skin Care for 25+ years, and I truly can't recommend her enough. She gives the best facials and always keeps my brows looking great. Michelle really knows my skin and tailors each treatment to exactly what it needs at that time, all in a very relaxing and welcoming environment. I walk out of every appointment with flawless, glowing skin and look ten years younger! I genuinely look forward to my visits and highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for exceptional skincare treatments. read more

Florencia Skin Care has been my saving grace - as someone with extremely sensitive skin, it took me years to find a place like Florencia and I don't know what I'd do without it. From waxes, to facials, to the skin care products, every service is gentle and made with clean ingredients, and lots of love. Will probably be a customer for life! read more

I have been seeing Michelle at Florencia for about 25 years. I am using many of her facial products and they all do wonders for ones skin and are reasonably priced. I recently had a repair on a lower eyelid due to basal cell carcinoma. When the operation was finished several nurses present asked me where I had my facials because my skin looked so beautiful. Made a 81 year old feel wonderful! read more

Michelle is the best.She being helping me stay beautiful over the years.She expert at what she does. She is knowledgeable, professional, clean , trust worthy,on time , and fun to talk to. read more

Michelle is a very knowledgeable professional and she sells some really nice skin products. The location is a well decorated and relaxing environment. Her base prices are along the lines of other places in the area. If you are not made of money, and she suggests a service, ask her how much it costs, just to make sure you are not surprised later on. (A lot of women who go for spa services are either made of money, or have perfectly valid reasons to splurge on personal care. I won't get into a crass discussion of middle-age marital dynamics here.) Petaluma. You know Petaluma has a special feel to it. It seems to still have a foot stuck in the wild west. It feels like the land of cowboys and construction workers. That's right, it feels manly, dusty, gunmetal and sometimes it literally smells like shit. It's the kind of place where corrugated siding is a design element, and two-ton pickups are the car of choice. This is why you, the princess that you are, need a refuge for your soul. You can't make it out to the coast every single day to let the mist clean the grunge that is Sonoma County off of you, to let the sound of the waves clear out the tiresome pounding that is Highway 101, or the fairgrounds racetrack, or the squeal of the neighbor's dog whose owner was set on the noble aim of making boxer-chihuahua puppies. You need to go to a place like this, or the one or two cute trendy cafes that you might find downtown. You need to do it once in a while and try, try, try to forget that you are in Sonoma County. read more

This is the best kept secret in Petaluma! Michelle has created a lovely spa environment and has thought of every detail to make her clients feel taken care of. Her knowledge is extensive and she takes the time to teach you about your skin, how it relates to the different products you are using and creates a plan that works best for you. She is absolutely wonderful and I am so glad to have found her! read more

Michelle is a consummate professional in skin care. She has a considerable medical background and a manner that immediately put me at ease. Getting a wax can be uncomfortable, but here it is as comfortable as possible. In addition to an atmosphere of comfort and luxury, Michelle provides effective recommendations and treatment for specific skin conditions such as combination skin. Don't miss Florencia - you won't regret it! read more

Michelle and Florencia Skin Care products have taken care of my skin for over 15 years. Everything is personalized to the specific condition of my skin at the time of my appointment. She. is kind, caring, thorough and takes the time to explain exactly why she is choosing each product and process she recommends and uses on my skin.The products perform as described, and they last very long = good value. I receive many compliments on the healthy appearance of my skin, require minimal make-up. I will be fortunate to be 69 this year, and have to say that most people think I am 10-15 years younger. Thanks to Michelle, and Florencia products! They are essential components to a healthy lifestyle. read more

What a great place! I had my facial with Michelle, the owner of this location who turned out to be very thoughtful and honest. I loved my facial and will absolutely go back again. I don't usualy buy a lot of products but I couldn't resist the cleanser that she reccomended. It worked great for my difficult skin type! I would reccomend Michelle to anyone who wants an excellent facial from a skilled esthetician. GO GO GO! read more

Michelle has been doing my bikini waxing for several years and I feel totally comfortable with her. I'm not saying it's any fun but she's very kind and sympathetic - completely professional. It's a pretty personal procedure but like my gyno I know she's done this a thousand times. Her place is very private and relaxing and there is only one client there at a time. The facials I've had there are heavenly. I'll certainly keep going back to Michelle because I don't want to keep introducing my privates to a new esthetician. read more

Michelle, the owner and sole proprietor of Florencia, is the ultimate professional esthetician and the best at what she does: waxing and facials. The immaculately clean, guilded decor of her shop lets you know you will be pampered from the moment you walk in. Her little touches, like chocolate and tea in the waiting room, tea and cookies after a facial, gifts during holidays, etc. really set her business apart. Services are not as cheap as the strip mall waxing joints because it's not a strip mall waxing joint! Michelle is a highly trained professional who you can trust with your skin. She has her own skin care products and has even formulated her own line of perfume! Michelle is passionate about what she does and it shows. I wouldn't trust my sensitive skin to anyone else. read more

Michelle is professional and knowledgeable - her medical background gives her a much better understanding of what skin requires to look its best than most estheticians have. She was able to determine what my skin needed and now I go for a monthly facial and don't wear makeup any more! She knows how to provide a relaxing atmosphere and going to see her is always a delightful experience. Update March 2013: Michelle has just introduced a small line of French-formulated perfumes. She worked on the fragrances for over a year, carefully tweaking the combinations of scents until she got them just right. My favorite is Fleuri - a mixed floral fragrance that is fresh and light, although I also bought Citronne, a bright sassy citrus blend with a hint of strawberry. These are the kinds of perfumes that you would find in a top specialty store at much higher prices. It's not just wine that's being made in Sonoma County and giving the French a run for their money! read more

I went to Florencia for the first time and was very impressed with how knowledgable and HONEST Michelle is! Went for a facial but she advsied me as to what my face really could use, skin brightning, and I came out with much brighter healthier looking skin!In addition, my eyebrows have never been waxed and shaped properly until I met Michelle. I want to say THANK YOU MICHELLE and I will see you in 2 weeks, I can not wait... Karen Dunn read more

I love this place! Michelle the owner is very friendly and welcoming. She made me feel very comfortable! I highly recommend Florencia to anyone! read more

I've been going to Michelle for years and even though I now live part time in Southern California I refuse to see anyone besides Michelle. She's knowledgable, friendly and extremely skilled. I've had terrible experiences with other skin care businesses in town, but I always leave 100% satisfied from Florencia. read more

I highly recommend Florencia's! Michelle is definitely knowledgeable and experienced in skin care. This was my second wax ever and compared to the first this was 10x a better experience and results than my previous. She did such a great job at making feel comfortable as possible getting a Brazilian wax. Trustworthy, very clean and takes time to teach you how to care for your skin. I planned on going just for a vacation I was going on but was so happy with my results I go once a month now. read more

I've been going to Michelle for about 7 years now. I just don't trust anyone else. She's so nice and always makes me feel comfortable. Very professional and boy does she know her stuff! She always consults with her customers and you never leave unhappy. By far the best person to go to for facials and waxing. read more

Michelle is an expert - can't go wrong here no matter what your cosmetic needs!

I always come in for a Brazilian wax and I love it. I have been to many other places over the years but was never satisfied until now. Michelle taught me how to exfoliate properly and what to use. I felt very comfortable and I recommend her to all of my friends. read more
