I am a regular at Rae Bar Aesthetics and wanted to share a quick review for anyone looking for a reliable tanning spot. They offer a variety of tanning options so you can choose what works best for your skin. The atmosphere is clean and serene. The staff are not only knowledge and helpful, they are lovely people. The location is convenient. I highly recommend Rae Bar to anyone looking for a glow up! read more

This place is such a vibe and I love coming here for the red light sauna. It's so relaxing and clean. The staff is very welcoming and always super friendly. I love it!! read more

Great location and chill vibes inside. The staff is always super friendly and attentive. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area and need to tan. They always try to accommodate walk ins, but I suggest you make an appointment. read more

Been coming here for years, and it is the only place I trust for my beauty needs- uv, tanning, etc etc. The machines are up to date, always clean, and the customer service has consistently been top notch. All around lovely folks! Booking online is another bonus, and the prices are reasonable! If you're considering coming here, or comparing other options, let me relieve of that work. Just go! read more

Rae Bar Aesthetics is truly my happy place! Every visit is such a great experience. The moment I walk in, Chiara and/or Devon are super knowledgeable and greets me with the warmest smile and always make me feel comfortable. Their tanning products are top-notch and give me the best, most natural-looking glow I've ever had,especially in winter which is my least favorite season. The space itself is spotless and beautifully kept, which gives me so much confidence in the care they provide. I always leave feeling refreshed, pampered, and looking amazing. I can't recommend Rae Bar Aesthetics enough--five stars every time! Thank you! read more

Staff is super friendly and accommodating. The tanning beds immaculate. This is my new go to tanning place.

Best tanning experience I've ever had and the tan has lasted well and looks super natural. Will definitely come back.

I have been going here for pretty much weekly spray tans with Gay, Sincere and Omega for a while now. Love the results from all of the technicians and the color is just beautiful. Highly recommend! read more

Very friendly, extremely clean! I'm glad my friend turned me on to this place. They had just Change the bulbs in the laydown bed and damn did I get a great base tan. read more

I recently moved back to the Bay and was looking for a new tanning home. I chose Rae Bar Aesthetics because of the positive reviews and I must say this place has exceeded my expectations! The booking system is brilliant! It's user friendly and makes for an easy in and out for whatever service you need. I highly recommend the infrared sauna, you will feel so relaxed afterwards. I love it. Rae is an absolute breath of fresh air and 100% about the customer experience. :) I highly recommend this spot for some quality self-care! read more

I can see why this place has such high ratings. Sarah was SO sweet and made me feel very comfortable. I went in for a wax and threading. All was done very professionally. Its rare to have such thought out care from an Aesthetics business. I will be back. read more

This place is so awesome! Pricilla the owner/manager is friendly and caring, and put simply, the establishment has that luxurious spa feeling to it! I need to get UV light for a skin condition, and visiting Rae Bar Aesthetics is so much enjoyable, in comparison to the treatment and feeling at my local dermatology clinic. What is more, the "copay" at the dermatology clinic is what it costs per session to visit Rae bar Aesthetics. In addition, I get to support a local independent business owner, so it's win/win, and I love that. Thank you so much Pricilla and Rae Bar Aesthetics team! read more

Love the aesthetics here--it is a very relaxing place, and even smells phenomenal in there! I also love the water fountain! So tranquil! I love the soft lighting too. The owner is a treasure. You just know when someone is authentic and real. She is incredibly kind as are her staff--they go above and beyond! I will never go any place else. p.s. the stand up tanning booth gets you results after 3 sessions! read more

I'm so glad I discovered Rae Bar in the last couple of years. I've been a regular at half a dozen or so tanning places in the last few decades and while they've all been pretty good, none of them compare to how great Rae Bar is. They excel where one would most want them to, namely cleanliness, service and reliability. The whole asthetic of the place is next level and all of the staff make me feel like I am family whenever I come in there. Whoever calls the shots there should teach classes in how to run a business. 5 stars all the way! read more

My bucket list included "get back waxed" and so glad I chose this place to complete that task. First off. Staff is amazingly nice. Felt like we had been friends before meeting. And it helped me relax cause I was nervous. Sara was the person who did the wax and they did their best to put me at ease with conversation and reassuring me that the process wasn't going to be difficult after seeing my back hair. Explained what they were going to do and kept me distracted by talking to me during the actual process. Before I knew it, it was all done. Highly recommend this place. Only experience I've ever had with waxing but I can say, after being through multiple years of institutions of education since preschool, that these people here are some of the nicest I have met. read more

Came here for a spray and had a good experience! Appointment was easy to book, staff was friendly and I got a nice spray tan! Omega did my spray and was really friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back for future spray tans. read more

I love Rae Bar! Best spray tans around Oakland. Every time I leave I feel like a million bucks!

Love the tanning lady. She makes it look real and you feel special when you stroll out with your sun kissed gig on

I have been following my girl Sarah around FOREVER and I'm so glad that she's going to work for the new Rae Bar Aesthetics. I love that although the business is new, updated and under new ownership that she's still in the same location. The new owner is THE SWEETEST! I remember seeing her when I would come in to get my brows done by Sarah, and she was always so welcoming and kind. More about Sarah - she's the nicest human and is so gentle even though she's ripping out my crazy brows and stache LOL sorry for the TMI but lets be real, you're reading this because you might be getting waxed. Do you want someone who just HURTS you when they rip the hair out? No! She has a gentle touch and if you see an area that needs a little work (not likely to happen as she gets it right 99.999% of the time) you can tell her and she's happy to go in more. Which honestly I didn't always feel with other people at other places (looking at you Ulta). I feel like other estheticians I've been to look annoyed when you ask for them to to go over a certain area again. Not Sarah though, she wants to get it right and make you happy. No ego, just amazing at what she does. This is now a novel about how much I love Sarah, but also from the photos I've seen of the remodel, omg it looks SO GOOD!! I know how seriously they take public safety too which makes me feel safe. Whenever you decide to venture into the world again to wax etc. definitely check this place out. The ladies there are *chefs kiss* ‍ read more

First off I have to say these ladies know how to decorate for Halloween. What a treat to walk in there and see how fabulous this place is . I felt so at home right away. Oh I was getting a human spray tan for the first time. It was such a comfortable and easy experience. I can't recommend this place highly enough. I'll definitely be back. read more

The day of my appointment, I got a call from my sister she had to put her dog down very suddenly, a dog a spent years of my life with. I had to rush to be with her. I still managed to call Rae bar more than 2 hours before my appointment, still in tears, and explained the situation. They responded without an ounce of empathy or human decency. It was baffling. I didn't even know how to respond I was so caught off guard by how cold this woman was to me on the phone as a struggled not to cry when humbly asking for a cancellation. It still makes my skin crawl thinking about how uncomfortable that was. I'd never go here again. read more

This review is so long overdue!! I'm am incredibly grateful for this place. First and foremost, the staff. They are so sweet, genuine, warm, and accommodating. They say to make yourself feel at home and they truly do and say things that make you feel comfortable and valued. I go for the tanning beds. Originally I got a package for the lay-down beds and because of my body type, I felt I wasn't tanning properly. They allowed me to change from laying down to standing up, without any issue which I was so happy about! I can listen to music through a blue tooth while tanning which I love! The prices are really good. The place is very clean and has a very beautiful, unique atmosphere. The owner is an absolute doll! She is so sweet. So engaged! You know, this pandemic has made us think about all of the beautiful little things we take for granted in our daily lives. Being able to have some time during the week to visit this place brings me so much happiness and I'm very thankful that the owner shares her little paradise with me. Thank you, Rae Bar! I appreciate you! read more

Come here! Thats all that needs to be said. You will leave here feeling more confident. The ladies here are amazing. Sarah really takes her time and asks you what you what you want and what you want is what you get. Pricilla (sp) the owner/manger is so welcoming and personable. I found my new spot. And! The parking here is so much easier than most places. Love love love read more

I'll admit to being a little Type A when it comes to cleanliness (ok, and punctuality too!) so I have to say Rae Bar Aesthetics is an utter delight to experience. Tanning and facials are why I've been going to the salon for EVER. Priscilla, the owner ..and really everyone... is so accommodating and friendly there. Bravo Rae Bar!!! read more

I've been to numerous spas and tanning salons all over the Bay Area and California in general. I would like to start off by saying from the first moment I walked into Rae bar I felt like I found my home for a tanning salon from the warm and genuine welcome that I got from the awesome owner priscella and also a couple of her staff. She treats you like family and has such a relaxing layout. The salon offers an array of services to suit all of your needs. The tanning beds are comfortable and efficient , the inferred sauna is amazing and rejuvenates you top to bottom and the facials and waxing services are on par as well. I would drive 45 min or an hour to come to this wonderful establishment any day of the week. Since finding rae bar I have been happier , felt better about myself and my days feel a lot more relaxed and less hectic. Thank you priscella for running an awesome 5 star business , with nothing but professionalism and dedication. I hope and pray you are here for many years to come. Rae bar rocks read more

Amazing! Bought a package last year before covid hit and they still honored it after reopening. They offer you drinks while you wait and are SO friendly! I was running late and called ahead to let them know and they made sure to accommodate me. They go above and beyond! Sadly, I moved to the city and can't make it back here more often! read more

First off WOW! I LOVE THE PLACE SUCH FRIENDLY AND GREAT STAFF! Very clean super nervous about my fist spray tan in years and it went great I will definitely be back again and I will be referring my friends! Thank you Gay for the great spray tan I love my color!!! read more

I started going after it reopened with new management, I was recommended by a friend. Let me just say the girls are always so nice and genuine, I love all the beds and products and they are coming out with more services and products. Great job Priscilla! You're doing amazing and I can't wait to see what's to come! read more

I needed a spur of the moment service and they were great. The facility and the staff were welcoming and were able accommodate my short notice. I got a spray tan , I'd never had one before and Rae walked me through step by step on before , during, and after procedures . Loved her! read more

Excellent service, great service. Clean, boujee self care services. Heavily recommended.

Absolutely love this place and all the ladies who work here!! Not only do I feel like I'm in a premier chíc and swanky, luxury establishment but they treat you like you're VIP too. Priscella, the owner is the sweetest and most accommodating doll ever- she really goes the extra mile to make me comfortable and feel like family. Sarah is amazing at waxing, once I got my first Brazilian and leg wax with her I refused to let anyone else do it! And Gay, the one who does the airbrush sprays is incredible- super professional, wonderful to talk to, always makes you feel fully comfortable despite standing there butt naked in front of her and my spray looks incredibly natural every time! It's bronzed and deep but never orangey like other places. I totally recommend this place, you won't regret it. read more

This place is a must! From the vibe, to the aesthetics, to the complimentary champagne, to the great service I received, you will not regret it! Sarah(the aesthetician) was really great and made me feel really comfortable. Left me really smooth as well! Overall i was really pleased with my Brazilian wax and I think I found my new spot! The owner Priscilla introduced herself and was super cute and very sweet.If you are in the area and are looking to get waxed DO NOT SKIP this place! read more

I loved my spray tan from Rae! It's lasted much longer than other tans and is so consistent without blotches. The staff is super friendly! Highly recommend for spray tans read more

Welcoming staff and affordable prices. Sarah is a pro at waxing and threading and makes you feel at home.

Legendary!!! This place has been open all covid and has helped me and a bunch of my family feel SO MUCH BETTER! Its beyond worth a try, 1$ a minute, you cant beat that! Amazing place!!!!! Elevate your health even when gyms are closed read more

This review is for Priscilla, the owner, the facility itself and for the use of the infrared sauna. First, Priscilla is probably the nicest, sweetest, kindest salon owner I have ever talked to. She is so friendly when you first walk in and she wants to make sure you have the best, personalized experience. She is incredibly accommodating, and I love that I can text to make appointments. She always gets back to me quickly and tries to make sure she can fit me in at a time that works for me. The salon itself always smells good, is clean, and feels safe (she and her staff wear masks). The experience in the sauna is heavenly. It's always heated to the right temperature, and the ambiance in the room is peaceful and relaxing. You can have music or silence if you want. Be sure to read the great info Priscilla added to the website about the sauna! This will help you to receive the most benefits from your time in the sauna. I would recommend Rae Bar to anyone who wants to have a great experience. Oh, and parking is fairly easy, too! read more
