Okay- First off, I just want to say that the location of Tan Bella (off 15th & Market) is so convenient and easy to get to. Walking into the salon was a completely life changing experience! Not only is the place super sheek and cozy.. you also can not ask for better customer service from the employees. They really want to educate you and find a solution that is right for you. Not only have they received incredible reviews but once you go to Tan Bella you understand why. The eqiuipment is one of a kind. There is a whole other meaning to a "high pressure" tanning bed. They have beds that no other salon in San Francisco has. I just happend to be walking by one day and saw that they have been voted #1 in city search & yelp for the last 3 years.. so i decided to come in. This place is truly devoted to help satisfy their customers, they want you to leave here with the perfect tan!! I'm not a fan of writing reviews but I felt that this place deserved one... I'm really happy that i came here and found the best tanning SALON that San Francisco has to offer!!!!!!!

Just went to Tan Bella for the first time and I had a great experience. The individual that helped me (I think her name was Jessica) was extremely helpful. She gave me a tour of the entire salon and explained all of the equipment. In the past I have always burned on beds and after she helped me I new why. I will no longer go on beds with the "long white tubes". This salon has beds that don't burn you and you get really tan!!!!! Asside from the great service, the place is nice and comfortable and has a cool vibe. Thanks Tan Bella for giving me a great tan and a new fun place to go to....

Pros: Great Service, Great Equipment, Ambiance

Yesterday was my first visit at the salon, I wanted to spray tan in this place. This is the only place I've seen here in San francisco that actually has a cool booth like this, I went to a couple other tannin salons and all the they had was either the beds with the lamps or spray tan by hand.. i basically had with no clothes on in front of a stranger that sprayed me... But more than anything today i went and there were two reallllly cute guys working, don't know their names but one of them the one who talked to me about the booth and everything looked like a model!!! Loved his skin and his teeth.. makes you want to tan just looking at the guy... So if you still haven't seen any good salons yet. I would definately reccomend Tan Bella... Cool salon and hot employees!!

I just left Tan Bella's new location by the ballpark and I am speechless. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life. The interior is out of this world....... I happened to be randomly walking by and noticed it. I had no idea it was a tanning salon. Once inside, one of the owners gave me a tour and showed me there new equipment. The equipment is off the charts.... Tan Bella has done it again!! I am so excited to have a tanning salon in my neighborhood....

Pros: Parking

Cons: none

I went to Tan Bella for the first time last week. I read all the reviews and was more curious than anything. I went there almost feeling that there is no way this place could live up to the hype. Needless to say, I walked away very happy. My wife and I wanted to get some color for our wedding coming up and thought we would give it a try. Not only was the place great inside, but the service was excellent. The gentlemen that helped us was very insightful and helpful. He helped us come up with a tanning base plan. He made sure that we will get the best tan in the shortest amount of time. He spent over an hour with us to make sure we understood everything about tanning. Tan Bella was an overall great experience.

Pros: service, equipment

I have been going to Tan Bella since the opening and it's a great place. Even though they have cool ambiance, and great customer service; my spray tan is what i love the most. After trying about 15 different spray tanning salons in the city I found Tan Bella. I have never had such a great tan. There spray is the best. The color is incredible. Not only can i do it with bronzer, but i can also do there clear version (so i don't get anything on my clothing). The thing I love the most is all the free things they give you to ensure your spray tan is great!!!!

Pros: Great Color

Cons: Far From My House

I have had tans at numerous spas. If you want an excellent spray tan this just is not the place. So as not to be rude I will not use this to advertise my favorite place. However I will say that if you want the best spray tan this just not is it. I only tried it because my favorite place (in pac heights) was fully booked and I live close to this place. I thought just MAYBE it would be OK.. Nope. I will from now on book enough in advance to go where the spray tan does NOT smell AND lasts more than two days.

Tan Bella is a great place to go and Tan. I have to admit, I was very hesitant to to give Tan Bella a chance. I live clear across town and I hate to go out of my way for things. After trying about 3 or 4 salons near my residence I decided to give Tan Bella a try. A few of my girlfriends couldn't stop talking about how much they love it. So I decided to stop being stubborn and give it a try. They all said that the staff is great, but try and get a tan when one of the owners named Greg was there. They said not only is he nice on the eyes, but he is extremely helpful and patient. I probably asked him about 20 minutes of questions and he answered everyone of them never getting irritated. He was all make sure I was happy. He talked about lotion and what it does but wouldn't sell it to me. He felt it was to early in my process to start using lotion. I really felt that he could careless about what he sold me. He was more worried about me achieving an amazing tan. Lastly, my tan was amazing along with my entire experience. Tan Bella truly is the best sf has to offer!!!!

Pros: Customer Service, Ambience, Staff, Equipment

Cons: None

Wow!!!!! This place is the best!!!! I moved here about two months ago from Texas and I thought I new everything about tanning...... Well I didn't... Tan Bella taught me all about tanning. In the past my tan only lasted 3-4 days now it lasts almost two weeks. It's crazy how there UV equip. is so powerful and crazy looking. More importantly, every time I go there i have a ton of fun. The staff is great and the owners are amazing. No matter what I ask them they always take there time to help me. Aside from all this, it still got better.... The last couple of times I've been there I've seen some celebrities. Obviously Tan Bella is not such a secret anymore. I just love this place. If your looking to tan look no further. Go to Tan Bella.

Pros: Customer Service, Ambiance, Equipment

Cons: Parking on Event Weekends
