Went in today to buy the tanning lotion on sale and was shown a bottle and told to smell it. I was going to buy it but the other gal working said that it was the wrong one and they had run out. I was told the sale was over tomorrow, Sunday and they wouldn't be getting anymore in so I wouldn't be able to get it. I understand running out however the sign should be taken down or they could have issued a rain check of some kind. After tanning and taking pictures the gal working tried to tell me I might be able to go to another spa and buy it. Didn't offer to call another store. On top of it all I was never asked if I had protective eye wear read more

I have to say I do love the direction they have gone with spa services. Really love the massage, red light therapy etc. but, the poor review is really based on service. I went here many times on lunch break. The gals had absolutely no sense of urgency. It always kinda felt like you were inconveniencing them by showing up. The upsell of the lotion absolutely drove me nuts. I don't want to have a conversation about buying more lotion. IM GOOD. Sheesh. And you get someone in front of you that does want to hear about it and you can add 10 min onto your wait just to get set up. I did enjoy coming on lunch break for a massage/tan/red light... but when you only get an hour for lunch and they are taking their sweet time, it limits what services you can do. It is clean and they aren't rude. Just slow and laxidazical. I eventually had to cancel read more

The customer service is horrible. I froze my long term membership to be away and take care of an elderly family member. They said my credit card was declined last fall and that they sent me an email. I never got an email about that but I get emails regularly about their promotions. Now, to their benefit, they want me to pay 89.99 from the 60.74 monthly rate because I did not act on the email I never got. Totally ridiculous. Beware folks- read more

Can't say enough nice things about the service at the salon on Dewey Manager Jon very personable, professional and just all around a nice guy... Thank you for all the GREAT conversations, laughs... Also want to mention Shane at the corporate office, remarkable person... Thank you Shane for all you have done... I am sorry to have had to leave this GREAT place but I have moved and there are no California Suns in Marin County :( read more

Extremely pleased with the customer service I have received at this location on Dewey Drive. The gentleman JON who checked me in was extremely informative. Nice and very professional. Wanted to get a base tan before heading down to Mexico and he made several recommendations. Thank you I will be telling my friendsto come join read more

Again. After I canceled my membership years ago. I tried to call to get a quote for a spray tan before a vacation. I called this location 3 times and no one answered the phone. I called the next closest one in ranch (thank you) they answered and were so nice. I will drive the extra for a decent tanning center. read more

This location needs to get it together. They frequently have only one girl checking people in...even on a busy Saturday. And there is a lot of idle chit chat, which is fine if there is only one or two people..but not 8 people standing in a line long enough to block the door! Wait times are growing longer and longer. Here's a suggestion: Why don't you ask the line who just needs to be checked in and just check them in real quick? You have two computers for a reason people. That way you can go back to going thru your 15-20 minute schpeel selling stuff. If it weren't for the Sunrise location recently closing I wouldnt bother with this one. Only redeeming factor is when the nice manager girl is working. She gets it. read more

This place is awesome. The girls go out of their way to help. It's extremely clean. I totally recommend this place

Horrible place. It's a nightmare of hoops to jump through to cancle. If you forget your ID they are so rude to you and won't let you tan. They changed the everyone's plans and monthly costs without asking anyone. Pretty sure they dull the bulbs down so you have to keep coming back. Worst tanning place I've ever been to. Over priced. Over rated. read more

The worst location. The manager is so rude and gets to involved with the customers personal life. She's really petty and if she doesn't like you will purposely put people in your favorite bed with you standing right there. Been going there for a long time always having issues with the girls who work there. Manager sending me inappropriate notes of how amazing I am. Never never going back! And I did call HR and customer service... they won't do anything about this location.. from what I hear they think they're doing great and winning a contest with most yelp reviews.. read more

I have never ever left a review before but I am absolutely inspired to do so because of the new manager Ashley! I have been going to Cal Sun-the Dewey location next to Safeway for almost 8 years. I have met so many managers, some of whom were not the most pleasant people and made the experience just frustrating and left me wanting to get in and out. Hpervert, I recently went in and met Ashley! She is in the new manager at Cal Sun Fair Oaks and I swear she is the nicest, most helpful, positive and kind person. She is like a breath of fresh air in there and I definitely want to go back now because of how amazing she is! I am so grateful to have met Ashley and to have those positive experiences when I go tan! Thank you for your amazing customer service Ashley! You rock! read more

So, I reviewed one of their competitors and gave them five stars because I thought I got five star service, I just didn't know any better until I started coming here. This place is great, they have a lot of options for different beds. I'm a big fan of the Red Light Therapy and Stand Up Tanning. What's makes this place is the women who work there, I've gotten to know most of them pretty well and we always have pleasant conversations. If I have to wait because my bed isn't available, it doesn't feel like a hassle because I'm always chatting with someone. I feel like I get a good value with the Ambassador's Membership for how much I'm there. If you know what you're doing in a tanning salon, I would check them out. If you have no clue what you're doing they'll help you understand how to start. read more

My fav location .I go to all but I feel this location is very knowledgeable .I am now using red light therapy which is so so wonderful .My skin is all over is showing results after just a few times ! I have been debating on purchasing the products that are for redlight . Not only did I purchase but it's part of daily ritual now .Thanks for being awesome you all are welcoming and awesome .Feels like going to an upscale spa daily .Ps massage is read more

This location is my ultimate favorite there for awhile it was touch and go but the new spa director Stephanie is amazing she goes above and beyond to help everyone plus she takes the time to ask is how we are doing (most people just ask because they have to but they don't really care )but Stephanie actually cares not only does she care but she remembers and will ask you about it when you go in next!!!! The salon is looking better and better each time I go in....if you want an amazing experience and want a great tan go into California sun on Dewey you won't regret it!!!! read more

Sammi 5 out of 5 stars...You need 10 out of 5 stars! What a warm, inviting personality. I have not had such high quality customer service like I received from you in a very long time. I actually hesitate to use the words "customer service." I honestly felt I was talking to a friend. Yesterday, 2/14/19 I popped in on a whim, because I need to get this bod ready for Maui. I haven't been to Cal Sun in years and am so glad I decided to revisit the Dewey Drive location. Sammi gave me a thorough overview of all the packages available. No pressure talking to her. She just offered her vast knowledge regarding my skin type and really listened to what I wanted. Earlier today (2/15/19) I went back and Sammi immediately recognized me.(That is quite impressive) I honestly could have stayed and talked to her all day. She has a way with connecting with everyone that walks through the doors. Truly an asset to California Sun! California Sun has an impressive array of products and an even more impressive staff! I Highly recommend checking this place out. Thanks Sammi! read more

I almost did not join due to the fact that the lady when my daughter and I went in was so condescending and rude ( I thought it was due to us looking a bit rough as we had been spring cleaning and we saw the place and just stopped in). She was so rude we just left. Days later at a store I saw a girl with the logo on shirt and she was so nice we went back and joined. However for what ever reason the First Lady was always so rude. I called corporate to let them know and they listened said the usual things you would expect as of course they want to run a good business. Then about a 2 weeks later the same lady was at desk asked for my ID something that was just never done before that I recalled. I asked to see someone else and that girl told me is company policy but that they very rarely do it but corporate is cracking down. So I told ok I understood but I walked in without my wallet as my husband dropped me off so I would just sit and wait for him. At that time she said well it's ok we let you tan one time without your I.D. At that seconded I said about the rude lady Danielle why would she not have made that offer. So again I called the corp. this time they offered me free stuff and I said no definitely no. All I want is good customer service. And here is the best part I was in one day and the district manager was there i introduced myself (she had brought the free stuff) said thank you again but no. Maybe give it to some one who could not afford lotion. She then left. As I was waiting for my daughter to finish a lady came in and said she canceled her membership due to Danielle always being rude. I said to Stephanie the manager you need to call your district manager back she only left like 5 minutes ago. She need's to hear this. They really have a problem employee. How did they handle this well I'll tell you they listen to the audio and FIRED THE MANAGER FOR NOT DEFENDING THE RUDE EMPLOYEE. To boot all she said was no let me reinstate your membership we will take care of it. I had to leave so maybe more was said I can't say. But clearly you could hear two customers having issues with the same employee. If you fire one then you should have fired both. SAVE YOUR MONEY read more

I love this location ultimately because of the staff they have. All the girls are so sweet always in a great mood no matter what time of day it is. I come into this location once a day after work and one specific girl Gianna, always cheers me up after having a long day. If it's busy she is very apologetic and does her absolute best to get us in and out as quickly as possible. Great area and the beds are very nice and clean. Great job guys keep up the amazing work! read more

Been coming here since the doors opened, the owners only care about money and NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE, people are ignorant in respect of others you know some people come to tan and relax the music in the rooms needs to be kept at a minimum period if you call customer service about it the do not a dam thing it's ridiculous This is not a freckin beach ok, keep your music off or on low and corporate would you get your head in the game pretty ugly when you can't do so we will Yelp the heck out of this place! read more

So you're saying that there was an emergency. Well I just got done tanning and I asked about what happened on Monday and the girl told me that she overslept. Things happen I get it, but when you say that it was an emergency that's not cool. You might want to communicate better with your employees. I'm not sure why the beds aren't being mentioned to you, because it shut down on me on Sunday I asked for 12 minutes and it shut down at 10 minutes. read more

I absolutely love the red light bed and the tanning beds. The lady helped me out and explained everything to me since I hadn't been in years! I have got a good tan so far and excited to continue to come! I signed up for the membership and definitely is a good deal! You can go all the time and try all the different beds! read more

I have the option of going to several California Sun centers near me. However, I have found that this particular salon exceeds my expectations every time I visit. I usually visit during the week in the evenings, and while it's typically a busy time, the salon is always clean and the wait is minimal. Sami and Bailey are always there to greet me with a smile and are always very professional, courteous and prompt with their service. They are also very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending lotions, tanning beds, and mentioning available promotions. Sami does a great job as manager keeping the salon running smoothly, and is a great example to the other employees when it comes to customer service, attitude and work ethic. If you want a great tan and great service, this is your place! I don't always recommend tanning salons to friends or family, but when I do, it's always this one! read more

The best one I've been to and I've been to a lot of the tanning places. The ladies there are super polite and helpful!! Jamie and Hayley are 2 of my faves. I'd suggest this location to everyone!!! read more

Service is always very friendly, and I like that they seem to be open all the time. They have tons of locations, but I frequent this one the most. They have lots of tanning options. read more

Cal sun is always a great company to tan with, but this location is the best within the company. The staff always is friendly and great at helping you achieve the best color possible. read more

Very nice workers, and very nice place. I love coming here on my lunch break to take a nap! lol! But for reals though, I do like the place and the equipment is up to date and very clean. I see the girls cleaning out the rooms all the time. I love their wacky weekends and no lines to get into the beds! read more

This review is for the Carmichael location only. The girls are always coming and going. They are always inconsistent. I had a girl helping me and the manager came in and she was so rude and unprofessional. I asked if she could call corporate and she said no and the other employee called them for me. So the manager was just trying to be a b**** read more

I have been to a few locations and I really like this one. I like that they have good beds. I'm assuming they are newer beds than some of the other beds at other locations. The two things I can say about every location I have been to is this; 1. Every location is ALWAYS clean, and the most important 2. The staff at each Cal Sun I have been to has been beyond friendly as well as informative. read more

California Sun Wellness Spa - 9 min. stand up - Spray Tanning Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

I have a membership to California Sun and I love it! I visit the locations at Dewey, Hazel and Antelope/Lichen. The girls are always so welcoming and nice. They are very knowledgeable about the products and services they offer. 4 stars for amazing customer service, but 1 shy of 5 for the products being a bit on the pricey side. read more

California Sun is fantastic. We go to the Dewey location and all employees are very friendly, terrific customer service, and the tanning equipment great! read more

Love love love this location. The girls are always so up beat and super friendly. They call me by my first name, place is ALWAYS CLEAN, and beds are always available. read more

I am a spray tan addict. I have the unlimited package here and I spray at least once a week. I love the golden tan that the versa spa has here. It is a very natural, even color, that lasts a few days. It is a bit pricey 49.99 a month but I love the color, and how the bronze makes me feel. They can be pretty busy at times, but they work quick and are always friendly and proficient. Sometimes when I am behind a few people for a spray tan I walk over to CVS and they put me in cue, LOVE that. I have visited other California sun centers, but I love this one because of the versa spa,(some have the mystic, which covers unevenly) and they never have done me wrong :) read more

This is a warning for California Sun contracts! Even though most of their salons are nice and clean and employees were friendly (therefore 2 stars); dealing with the fine print in the contract turned out to be a nightmare! I went to this location prior to my Caribbean vacation for a month of tanning. I was told I could cancel any time and there was no long term commitment. Immediately, after signing up it was clear that the first month's payment did not count towards the month-to-month contract. In my case, I was charged another month and since I went on my trip, they offered a "Stay and Save". A monthly $5 charge will be billed to your account, up to 12 months, until you are ready to re-activate. The kicker is, that when you re-activate, you have to pay another month pro-rated, before they use the money in your account. This, to me, is very deceptive and not worth the hassle. If you are planning to use California Sun's services, sign up at the end of the month, for that month's prorated fee, and cancel prior to the 20th of the next month. Make sure you do that in writing at the corporate office, because they won't let you cancel at the salon. read more

This place has the friendliest assistant manager that you have ever dealt with in your entire life. I love it every time I walk in she has got the hugest smile ever. Her smile is so big her cheeks go up so high her eyes look like dime slots. She's the sweetest ever. The place is clean everybody's friendly, there's not usually a long wait. And I'm surprised at how good the clothes are for the price read more

This location just recently opened right in my neighborhood and it is awesome. They have a new spray tan called the Versaspa that totally rocks - the color is really natural. They have a good selection of tanning beds if you like that better - I use both. The manager Rachel is really sweet and remembered my name by the second visit! Super clean, too. read more

Bad service.a girl was very rude.attitude is bad..they not giving complete description and details about membership. Worst customer service.

This is the nicest place. The people who work there are so helpful and NICE!! THANKYOU for all you guys do.

First time in the location and it was an amazing experience! Sammy was the best! I upgraded my package to Ambassador, got to try the red light (love) the cocoon (my new fav), even tried a new bed and got the lotion that I have been eyeing with my upgrade discount! So lucky to only be 7 mins away from this location! read more

I really love this location. I've been coming for many months, I love the staff. But the last two times have been awful. I came in on a weekday after work and there was only two new people working alone. There was a line of 10+ people waiting. I waited patiently for my bed, got back there to notice it had not been cleaned. There was dirty towels wadded up with a bottle of cleaner, on the floor and counter where I put my belongings. When I asked why, they said they were busy which I understand and had no clean towels. It didn't strike them to help with the situation. Cleanliness is a concern for me as I work in a medical setting. I took it upon myself and had to clean up the mess with somebody's old sweaty towel. This time I came, a Saturday...doors were locked and sign was turned off before 6. Not thrilled to be paying for an ambassador membership and getting disappointed. It's not normal for me to vent like this. read more

Hands down best Cal Sun around! Sam and her crew are so friendly and helpful. Even on a busy day, these folks never fail to wear a smile and offer friendly, personable, and competent customer service. The facilities are always perfectly clean and tidy which is so importantant for this kind of business. TY for all you do guys! read more

Corporate office has horrible customer service. No wonder why location all around keep closing. I've been a member for over 8 years and never made a complaint until they over-drafted my account due to them taking out a monthly payment when I paid ahead and they did nothing for me but give me a few dumb lotion packets. All i asked for was them to at least pay the overdraft fee and they wouldn't even do that. On top of it I sent a complaint to the corporate office when I cancelled and they did nothing other than call me and say just wanted to confirm your cancellation and didn't even ask anything about my complaint. Horrible service!! If I could give zero stars I would. I don't see them being around much longer. read more
