nice tanning salon in the Castro

This salon is sort of tucked away in a not too obvious part of Noe near Market. The salon is clean and the staff is mostly friendly and helpful. Only once in my two-year plus time at this salon have I encountered any attitude and it was easy to deflect. They have several types of tanning booths and beds and they also do spray tans if that is what you like. All of the units I have tried, both booths and beds, have worked well and been clean and comfortable. They also have a wide selection of lotions and a couple of different types of plans you can try if you aren't sure how to go about getting a tan. I think their prices are high but sometimes they do specials where you can get more tanning time for your money. Also they use a point system which just seems complicated and unnecessary to me. I'd rather they just tell me how much a tan is going to cost instead of making me figure out the points. Having said that... I like this place. It's clean, nice, convenient and offers many options. I would recommend this salon to anyone looking to get a tan.

• Pros: good location, several types of tanning, good hours, helpful staff
• Cons: slightly overpriced, pricing not straight-forward: you have to figure out points

I've been a customer of Sorrento Sun for awhile. This tanning salon is absolutely wonderful, good service, clean, nice atmosphere and effective machines that give me gorgeous colour. I've always been satisfied....even Paris Hilton came in for the service...yep, I saw her there!!!

• Pros: Service, atmosphere, hygienic

I hate going to salons with snotty ass people, I always feel like the the guys...and girls at Sorrento are more personable then that salon on Union street where you always have to make an appointment...plus the parking sucks.

I went in to get some "sun" for an upcoming trip to Hawaii. I bought a package deal of several sessions. The guys that work behind the counter are really friendly and service-oriented, and the booths are comfortable and offer more than enough privacy.

• Pros: Clean, Good Service, Good Value
