• 5/5 from Michele & Mike Casey, attended Nov 2026: Loved it! She was so knowledgeable and helpful. Absolutely recommend this class to those who want to learn.
• 5/5 from Leilani Neal, attended Nov 2026: If you’re looking for a soap making experience in the Bay Area, look no further than Beauty by Francesca! Francesca is truly the best in the Bay, and it’s easy to see how passionate and knowledgeable she is about her craft. From the moment we started, she was warm, friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. She walked us through every step of the cold process soap making experience, taking the time to explain not only how to make soap but also the chemistry behind it. I especially appreciated how thoroughly she broke down the science, ingredients, safety, and proper techniques so that we could leave feeling confident enough to recreate the process at home. She even sent us home with a thoughtfully put together pamphlet that included the information we learned during the workshop, along with additional recipes to experiment with. It was clear that she genuinely wanted us to learn and feel empowered to continue exploring soap making on our own. Francesca is not only educated and talented but also truly passionate about what she does, and that passion shines through in the entire experience. This was such a unique way to celebrate my birthday. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend Beauty by Francesca to anyone interested in learning the art and science of soap making. You won’t be disappointed!

• 5/5 from Vanezca Amador, attended Oct 2026: My teacher was really personable and easy going and I came in with no experience or confidence. Class was hands on and everything was easy to follow. The lecture portion was also very informative and educational. I am now very confident that I will be making soap at home as my instructor removed all the fears I had about cold process soap making
• 5/5 from Susan Sung, attended Oct 2026: OMG, where do I begin?/! I’ve been playing around with melt/-and/-pour soaps, BUT my heart has always wanted more: cold-pressed soap making, where I can have full control over the ingredients and build my soap from scratch. I’d never had the courage to try because I was intimidated by handling lye and getting the measurements just right. Enter Francesca! My friend and I booked her soap-making class, and I only wish I’d done it sooner! Francesca is warm, knowledgeable, and an excellent instructor She made the information easy to understand, showed us examples, and demonstrated each step so we knew exactly what to do. We also had access to a wonderful variety of essential oils, colors, and botanicals to customize our soaps. Francesca guided us through the entire hands-on process, with the added bonus of an educational component that deepened our understanding of soap making. I left feeling more confident, inspired, and excited to keep creating! Thank you, Francesca, for such a lovely and memorable experience!

I truly appreciate her thoroughness and there isn’t a thing I would change about the class! Sincerely, Chandra

• 5/5 from Alison Stanich Power, attended Aug 2025: This was a wonderful and informative way to learn all about soap making. Francesca is a great instructor and explained the origins, methodologies and science of how to make soap before we even got started. It was a very comprehensive course and the 3 hours flew by. We left not only with a really good understanding of how to get started, but also with a beautiful candle made with our own hands that same day.
