Tanning in San Francisco

“Ended up at the Bush st location after a last minute reschedule. This was my first time seeing Erin and I'm so happy it worked out this way. She made me feel super comfortable/cared for and the service was quick. I'll def be booking with her again ?“

“Jennifer is seriously such a wonderful and skilled sugarista with an adept hand and spectacular attention to detail. I go to her to get my underarms and bikini area sugared and always leave feeling satisfied and glowing. Not only that, she is such a kind, welcoming, and empathetic person, and talking with her is always such a breath of fresh air. If you're looking for a sugarista in the city, I seriously can't recommend her enough!!!“

“I have been going to Jaime for waxing at the Mission Studio for several years. She does the best work of anyone I have worked with. Her technique and thorough work keeps me looking good consistently. Her friendliness offers me good care and I enjoy spending time there. I am grateful.“

“Stacy is the best! I've been seeing her for years and each visit gets better. She is so professional, knowledgable, and warm. I also love catching up with her during my visits.“

“Love love LOVE !! I have wavy hair and have had it cut by 'regular' stylists all my life who focus on the straight cut and blow dry style - Chava is a true curly-hair pro who knew what to do with my waves right away, giving me the best cut I've ever had, emphasizing my natural waves and bringing out the body and texture I've always wanted. I've been going to her for nearly 2 years now and each cut is better than the last (which isn't easy since I've been adamant about growing it out). All that and she's a delight to talk with. I'll never go to anyone else. If you have curly or wavy hair, definitely try Hair to Dye For.“

“I got an awesome haircut from Grace a few months ago and the grow out is looking great!“

“I’ve been coming here for the Red-Light Therapy and have absolutely been love my results. I am on this weight loss lifestyle and there’s still that stubborn visceral fat that I felt I couldn’t get rid of, until I started my session. My waist slimed down almost immediately and I feel amazing overall, after every session. It helps with muscle recovery as well which I need, weightlifting 4-5x a week.
Chole, at the front desk is so wonderful as well. She makes the experience very comfortable and she’s just great to chat with. I highly recommend coming in to try their red-light, you won’t regret it!“

“Natalie’s the best! Her facials and lash lifts are truly amazing. Every pore will be extracted! Every lash will be perfectly curled! She is such a pro and such a sweetheart—her services are all phenomenal and she’s so fun to talk to. It’s like hanging out with your best friend who just happens to be an incredible esthetician. I can’t recommend her enough.“

“I recently just moved out of San Francisco, and so am no longer able to get sugared by Jennifer. However; I had to leave a review. Jennifer is the best in the industry! I was a client of hers for just over two years and in that period, Jennifer was always on time, professional, fun and I always left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I’ve been sugared elsewhere and can honestly say that Jen has wonderful skill and technique and is able to make the process as painless as possible. Would 100% recommend to anyone for hair removal/sugaring services. Miss ya Jen!“

“Tan Bella in the Castro is more than just a tanning salon—it’s a little oasis of care and comfort.

I’ve struggled with very severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis since I was young. Growing up in New Mexico, I would cover up my arms and legs even in the summer heat, just to avoid the discomfort and stigma. Over time, I learned that regular exposure to vitamin D made a huge difference for me—physically and emotionally. While I know tanning can be controversial, for me it’s been an important part of managing a lifelong autoimmune condition in a natural, non-invasive way.

Tan Bella has been such a gift. The space is spotless, the staff are lovely and respectful, and the environment is calming and clean—right down to the little things like good magazines in the waiting room and friendly energy from the other clients. It feels really peaceful and safe, which I truly value.

One small note: they currently only accept large bills (like $100s) for purchases over a certain amount (I believe $70), so if you prefer to pay in cash like I do, just be prepared for that. Still, that’s a small inconvenience in an otherwise really thoughtful experience.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a clean, welcoming space to get some vitamin D in a way that works for your body and your health.“

“I’ve never done a spray tan before and honestly didn’t know what to expect—but WOW. This place completely exceeded everything I imagined.

The owner is so experienced and down to earth, she instantly made me feel comfortable and not awkward at all (which I was worried about). And Sabrina—she is incredible. She walked me through everything and gave me the most beautiful, natural glow.

I left feeling confident, radiant, and honestly just so good in my own skin. If you’re even thinking about it, just go. You won’t regret it.“

“Jen O and Alyna are so great. By far the best spray tan studio in San Francisco. I have been here several times and they are both so kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this studio!“

“It was a new experience. They were very patient, and I felt completely relaxed. My eyelashes turned out beautifully—I love them! Thank you all.“

“Julia is a PRO. My eyebrows have never looked so good. She's always on time and she is just the sweetest!!“

“La Tira Wax Studio is hands down the best. Jamie was phenomenal—her attention to detail, professionalism, and warm demeanor made the experience exceptional. The studio is clean, welcoming, and prioritizes customer comfort. The service was top-notch from start to finish, and I won’t go anywhere else. If you’re looking for quality and great customer care, book your appointment now.“

“Jacky is amazing—not only a talented artist, but also a wonderful teacher. I took her courses, and she answered all of my questions thoroughly before, during, and even after the classes. She is incredibly patient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her, whether you’re looking for her services or wanting to enhance your skills and knowledge.“

“I get monthly sugaring treatments with Alex, and highly recommend her + this service! I have sensitive skin, and had been getting waxes for months and my skin would be irritated for days after. My first appointment with Alex she recognized right away that my skin didn’t tolerate was well, and suggested that I give sugaring a try instead and I’ve never looked back. She is very detailed and takes her time to make sure everything looks good, and always gives me great advice for upkeep between appointments. Best waxer I’ve found by far!“

“come here all the time for sugar waxing as i have sensitive skin, camille is the best!!“

“I have been here many times, I usually stop by when I am in the area. Very clean interior, they offer foot or body massage and you can request for half and hour or one full hour. The masseuses here are well trained, very welcoming and understanding of my needs. I usually ask for a hour of service so I can get a full body massage where I feel refreshed upon exiting. They also give you a tea or water when the service has completed. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great and relaxing massage. I definitely will be back!“
