Tricia is the only person that I trust to tattoo my eyebrows. She has a great eye for color and shape and generally does a great job and great customer service to boot. The shop is cute to boot and tucked away on a small alley with parking readily available when the school across the street is closed. If you're pondering using any of her services, don't hesitate to book today. read more

Tricia is incredible - I didn't know exactly what I wanted with my brows, but she did an excellent job. I plan to be a repeat customer, she's professional, warm, and has great taste. Best in San Francisco, and probably the best I've had. read more

My brows have never been the same since I left, I've been in a few times and every time I leave with excitement. Tricia slays my brows, I come in for lamination, shape, and tint every 5-6 weeks, I am really excited to jump into micro blading soon, one of her other specialities. I always pair my brows with a lash lift, which is a game changer, I have short lashes due to years of lash extensions but the lash lift gives me some length and I pair with mascara and my lashes and I feel Fabulous! On top of Tricia's skill, she's also really sweet, kind, and professional. She takes pride in her work and wants to make sure you are happy, and it always show's. Thanks again! read more

Never in a million years did I think I would regularly be getting my brows waxed and my lashes tinted. On a friend's advice I went to Tricia last year and I've never looked back. It was the least painful wax job I've ever had, and my lashes have never looked more amazing. Seriously, I've gotten a lot of compliments on my eyebrows and lashes - again, something I never would have expected. Like a lot of girls, I don't like some of the normal feminine rituals - like wearing makeup; enter lash tints! - and the best part to me about Tricia (and her gorgeous new salon) is that I never feel pressured to be any different. I guess that's getting a little deep for a wax/tint review, but what can I say? I adore Tricia, and the people I met here are sweet and friendly, and I don't feel out of place as I often do at salons. That's really important to me. read more

I got the festival package, a tan, eyelash tinting, Brazilian, and eyebrow waxing. 3.5 stars. Not a bad experience, but I ended up with results I wasn't happy with. Everything seemed rushed. It's a lot to do in 45 minutes. I've done just one of these services in 30 at other places, so it seems there isn't time for attention to detail. The rundown: Eyelashes: Looks nice, not sure I'd do it again. It burned and stained my eyelids. Was panicking a little about the burn and Tricia eventually let me know it was normal. Would have been nice to understand that up front. Eyebrows: Disappointed. See the pic. They don't belong on the same person. Looks like I'm raising an eye at all times. Had little time and lighting to review the work so didn't notice till I got home. San Franzilian: Good Brazilian. A few stray hairs, but no pain and very comfortable and quick process. However, we quickly moved to the next item in the package and I didn't thoroughly review the results. Was a bit too much hair left over for me but didn't know it till I got home. Tan: Good. Thorough and took her time. Was the last part of the package so maybe there was extra time? read more

Sutro Gold - Two very different eyebrows. - Hair Removal Near Me - San Francisco, California

A little sanctuary in the Inner Richmond. I've had several different services from the "Festival Fancy" to the "Tan of Glory" and have loved all of them. The custom spray tans are on point. If you're looking for some extra color try the "double dark". The shop is full of cute thrifted goods, candles (yay voluspa!), sweet sunnies and elegant products. The only con is it's a bit more expensive than other places, but I firmly believe you get what you pay for! read more

So happy to have a new neighborhood gem in Hayes Valley. Went in for an Eye Opener yesterday, first experience with brow and lash tinting and now I know the secret to amazing brows not to mention Tricia's superb shaping skills. My face is happy, I'm happy and I'll be back to keep my brows in check. read more

Tricia is amazing- and so is the new spot in Hayes Valley. I've gotten numerous services from Tricia over the years but hands down she is amazing at freckles. I would trust NO ONE else with my face, ever!! I get so many compliments on them- they look super natural, don't fade for a long time, and even getting them was relatively painless. Would highly recommend for eyebrows, waxing, freckles- you name it. Not only is the new spot super cute, but Tricia is always a joy to be around. read more

Tricia is amazing! She totally bailed me out when my make up artist had to cancel last minute before my wedding. Everyone's make up turned out beautiful and was done on time. Tricia is super professional and personable. She was also super patient, things can get a little hectic the morning of a wedding. I also got a spray tan and it turned out great, no lines! The color was perfect. Thank you, Tricia! read more

Sutro Gold - No tan lines! - Hair Removal Near Me - San Francisco, California

They give you a pretty decent tan at a bargain price if you get their Groupon deal. However, I found that their formula was much stickier than others and streaked easily during application (especially on the legs). The streaking was so bad for me that my legs looked pretty bad coming out of my appointment, and I was pretty worried about how it would turn out. Luckily, most of the color you see initially is just bronzer so it will come off with your first shower, and you can even out your tan fairly easily with some strategic rubbing / exfoliation. Come here if you're looking to get a cheap tan in advance of your Cabo trip, but go somewhere better if you're getting a tan for a special occasion. I had a much better experience at Bronze Organics - the staff there obsess over making sure your tan is even, and their formula didn't make me leave a butt imprint on my toilet seat. read more

Tricia is amazing! She has done so much work for me in the past year, and everything has been fantastic. Brow Microblading Spray Tan Leg/Bikini Wax She also did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and it was flawless. I can't say enough good things about this shoppe. Just note that if you have an early appointment, the Inner Richmond can be chilly/foggy so dress appropriately. Or, better yet, find a lovely vintage piece from Tricia's line Sutro Gold to add to your collection. read more

Tricia is the best in the business! No pain, quick waxing with no stickiness after. Sutro Gold offers delightful conversation and warm staff. I've tried numerous other places since moving to the East Bay and can say that it is worth the trip to the Inner Richmond. Yesterday I included a lash and brow enhancement in addition to my usual underarm, leg and bikini wax. All was complete in under an hour and everything is perfect! Thanks Tricia! OXOX read more

Met with the waxing specialist, who was quick and very sweet. Also, my wax was done perfectly! Then met with Dawn for my spray tan. She was very nice at check in and had a smile on her face the whole time. Easy, painless process for my spray tan. They have two options: 8-12 hour wait before shower or the 1-4 hour wait time before shower. I opted for 1-4 hours. Waited and showered and thought my tan came off in shower. Called dawn and she was SO sweet and offered another free service to touch me up. Yay! However, I kept getting darker and will cancel it. If I got another touch up I would be very dark. Haha. However, I truly appreciated the service and the ability to get the touch up with no questions asked. I will definitely come back here. Great place with cute items to purchase inside. Must come to! read more

Privoiousy I think I have a 5 star review, after my last experience I cannot return. I was a complete disappointment and disaster. I began scabbing after the wax which was never happened in my life and my spray tan was so dark I felt embarrassed for a week. I never called to complain, this is only a warning for future clients. read more

I just tried to call this place to make an appointment but the receptionist wouldn't stop laughing at me and insisting I was just her friend "Erica" prank calling her and wouldn't answer my questions even though I assured her my name is Sarah, and she continued even though I told her I didn't know what she was talking about and she was making me uncomfortable, until I hung up. Guess I'm staying hairy? read more

I have passed by their shop hundreds of times yet never stopped by until recently and I am glad that I did! I had two services done so far at the Tidy Shoppe... A full body spray tan and a full set of lash extensions. My spray tan was done a couple of weeks ago by Bo for my trip to Vegas and I came out looking like a bronzed goddess. Yes, it was the perfect pool party tan that I was hoping for. Lashes... Bo also did them for me and I am in love with them. She's the sweetest, personable and made my time there comfortable. I wanted the longest lashes she could give me that my natural lashes could handle, and that's exactly what I got. She listens! Already scheduled my next appointment. Definitely a place you need to try out for your beauty needs. I was missing out the entire time. read more

I came on a Sunday so Tricia was sidetracked training a new receptionist. I got a san-brazilian which is basically almost a brazilian. Also had my brows done. I read a lot of reviews about Tricia being fast and she is, but it is a rushed job. At the end of my brazilian she didn't do any plucking with tweezers so half of my hair is already growing back (after 48 hours). Also, she left me very sticky with wax (eek!) and I had to open the door half naked and call for oil or something to clean up so I could put my underwear back on. Then for my brows, I was pretty disappointed actually. She rushed through them, I won't say anything is majorly wrong but there were obvious random stray hairs that I had to deal with on my own once I got home. So the conclusion: Perfectly fine if you are in a hurry, she is very capable. Don't expect perfect manicured brows or an immaculate bikini line. read more

Went in for an eyebrow/eyelash tinting combo. The owner was the only one working and she had two other customers. During my entire time at the Tidy Shoppe (approx 30 minutes) I was not spoken to other then "I'll take the color off in ten" and a reminder about tipping when I left. Instead, I had the pleasure of listening to her whine about how hard it is to get bad Yelp reviews removed to the two (obviously) regular customers and boast about her superior customer service.** Yes, this was being said while I was treated like "put baby in the corner. " Needless to say, when not treated with common courtesy I do not return and instead back to Benefit on Fillmore I go! **A word of advice: read not positive reviews as constructive criticism to improve upon read more

Smh! (Shake my head, for those who don't know what it means). I came in with high hopes due to the reviews and left with such disappointment. The results of my eyebrow wax was ridiculously poor. Before we began the process she told she was going to keep it natural and full, but she did the opposite. It came out thin and uneven! Ugh.. I'm definitely not coming back. Plus she took literally 3-5 mins to do my brows, I've never been to a place that did it that fast. ._. There was obviously no care or hard work put into my brows. They have wonderful customer service and they're all really kind, but I'm not going to pay 25 + tip for an eyebrow wax that doesn't even live up to expectations. read more

I was so blown away by the friendly staff and wonderful environment. My brows look great and I plan to keep coming here when I'm in SF. They also sell incense which is lovely. It's also a small locally owned shop and is run by a wonderful person. Check it out if you need a wax fix. read more

I came to The Tidy Shoppe for a pre-Coachella spray tan and I thought it was just an A-OK experience. The shop is adorable and I loved the ambiance, however, the owner who sprayed me gave off a very snarky vibe. Here's what I liked about my experience. + I was running a bit late to my appointment and the receptionist was super nice and chill about it. No shade thrown my way for walking in 10+ minutes late! + Loved that they sell products from local businesses. + I bought a really good deal from Groupon What I didn't like. - My initial conversation with the owner. Owner: What color do you want for your tan? Me: Mmmm.. I'm not sure, I just don't want to turn orange. Owner: Well I don't carry any orange color solutions here. I found that response to be a little snarky. I don't think any spray tanning business stocks orange solutions purposely, but they just sometimes turn orange on the skin! Also, the question is such an open ended question to begin with. If she wanted a specific answer, it would've been helpful if she had presented some options. I don't work in the spray tanning industry, so unfortunately, I don't know the names of the colors. After I mentioned Coachella, she immediately suggested that she knew the shade for me since many other Coachellers came in for tans. - In hindsight, this is my own fault. I should've asked for one shade lighter than what everyone else was getting, but I ended up showering shortly after I got home because the solution became really dark on my skin. I've had many other spray tans before, so I have a general idea of what it should look like... and the color that it was turning did not look right. - I found the reminder sign on the receptionist's desk to tip off the original price, not the discounted rate to be a little tacky. Although I would've tipped off the original price even without the sign, I think tip should be determined by the customer. I'm not sure that I'd come back to The Tiddy Shoppe. There are so many tanning options in SF, I think I could probably find another place that's more suited for me. read more

Hmmm I didn't really like it. I felt as she didn't really know what she was doping because she took a lot of hair w tweezers and I payed to have it down w threading. Which I know threading is the best for the small hairs way better than threading. I do understand sometimes tweezers are necessary but she really used it a lot. Way more painful. The result was ok, I wasn't super impressed. But they are all very nice!!!! read more

Came in to get a spray tan and after looking at the results, They did not do a great job, should have known since it took less than 5 minutes to finish which should have taken at least 15 mins. ONE LEG IS LITERALLY DARKER THAN THE OTHER. SMH. Also, I specifically asked for a super dark tan and even my boyfriend who knows nothing about spray tans says I still look the same from the waist up. read more

Sutro Gold - Horrible job. - Hair Removal Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love Tricia! I've followed her all over and she's the best. I love talking with her and catching up every time I see her. She's amazing! read more

After years of bouncing around getting eyebrow waxes at random nail salons, threading places, and the occasional stop at Benefit, I have found her: my brow shaping savior. Not only is Tricia amazing at shaping brows, her space is beautiful, unique, and full of personality. Worth it. read more

I like this places vibe, but the eyelash extensions weren't the best. Perhaps they've gotten better (it was quite a while ago that I went). Took about twice as long as other places I've been to and it was actually kind of painful/uncomfortable. Really wanted to love the spot but don't think I'd go back. read more

Unfortunately, I have found that my initial skin reaction to almost any salon waxing has been to break out all over the top and sides of my forehead. This was the case after getting my eyebrows done, even at the aptly named, Tidy Shoppe. The girls were great about letting me come in on short notice, also offered other services such as tinting, and were professional. It was brief, acute and over before I knew it'd started. Eyebrows looked fine, and I was out the door. Later that night I started to see irritation, then little zit-like pores started to sprout, but my bangs covered well enough. On a side note, I've never had this reaction to Sally Hansen's hard wax...I don't know why it happens every time at a salon. Nice shaping though... read more

Overall, I would probably go back. The first time I scheduled a brow/lip/chin wax with Tricia, was for a Sunday (which they are supposed to be closed) but I thought maybe they were open for a few hours, and then I got a call saying there was a computer glitch. No worries, it happens. The second time I scheduled a brow/lip/chin wax with Tricia (based on all the great reviews), I got a call saying she had so many event appointments that week, that she could not make it (on the Saturday apptmt). Disappointing but I really needed this wax so I went with Debbie. Debbie was fairly friendly, but I felt a little rushed out of there after paying. She was super quick with the brow/lip/chin wax and the lip & chin were excellently done! Unfortunately I went home and plucked about 20 hairs from my brows because she didn't seem to do much about the sides (there was no shaping, just clean up). She also had time for an under arm wax which was good. read more

I recently moved to SF from SD, where there is a spray tan place on every corner. To say the least, I have tried some baaaad tanning spots. With that being said, having so very few tanning places up here, I was extremely nervous to go. What are the odds I won't turn orange? Well, the odds were ever in my favor. The Tidy Shoppe does an EXCELLENT job! The girls who worked there were so nice and talkative and my tan looked amaaaazing for my birthday. I've found a tan in a hopeless place! Definitely recommend it and coming back for all future tanning needs :) read more

I have had a spray tan from both Erica and Tricia here, and I must say 5 stars all the way! I'd driven by Tidy Shoppe a hundred times and was always intrigued by the style of the shop. One day I finally decided to search it on yelp and had to go see for myself. Easy bookings online for an appointment. All services are clearly defined so no surprises once you get to the shop. A few clicks and my first spray tan was booked. Love the decor inside. Cute gifts and vintage clothing that any gal would like. I was warmly greeted and made to feel extremely comfortable my entire stay. I am sure I don't need to explain how wonderful it is to be welcomed and made comfortable when you have to strip naked in front of a stranger spray tanning you. I was at ease and confident when I left with my newly bronzed skin. Erica and Tricia are pros, and my tan is beautiful and natural looking. My skin will thank my later for the SPF 50 I always wear, and I thank Tidy Shoppe for my bronzed and glowing skin. read more

Tricia is great! Really friendly and personable and always does a good job. I used to go to her in the inner sunset for brazilians and I stopped by here the other week for an eyebrow wax. The store is super cute and really comfortable. I'd definitely drop by again next time I'm in the inner richmond. read more

I can't tell you how much I used to hate getting waxed. But Tricia is so friendly and gentle and GOOD at her job, I actually really like coming in to see her! And who knew that eyelash/brow tints could make you look like a moviestar first thing in the morning??? The Tidy Shoppe is a super cute, welcoming, comfortable spot and I can't wait to go back. read more

Came here after finally deciding I needed help. I've done my own brows for the last 10 years and as a MUA I tend to go for a more made up and super arched look. I ended up being sick for a good three months and my brows were a mess! Always saw this place and decided to schedule an appt for a brow threading with Tricia who ended up being amazing! My brows are naturally pretty fine and round in shape but she helped to angle and make them a bit fuller. I still need my brow powders and pencils for a bit more definition but she's absolutely helped get them back to a more natural state without being bushbrow lady. Pricier than most but I get mine threaded since waxes are pretty harsh on my skin, great place to check out! read more

Awesome permanent eyebrow makeup by Tricia at The Tidy Shoppe! I really enjoyed my experience here. Tricia has a great eye for style - She created an eyebrow shape I fell in love with on her first suggestion! Of course, she was super patient too and made sure that I would really love my new brows. The process wasn't too painful... She used a numbing gel and she gave me some tissue with lavender to sniff - So soothing! Thank you Tricia and the Tidy Shoppe! Also, thanks to Dottie Lux for the referral. I highly recommend the Tidy Shoppe for your permanent makeup needs. They are the best! read more

I recently started going to the Tidy Shoppe for spray tans and waxing services and was very impressed by their services for both. I had been going to Stript in the Marina, but I love supporting local Richmond spots.The staff is very friendly and professional. The spray tan application took about 5-10 minutes and lasted for about a week and a half. I received multiple compliments on my even tan. I will definitely be going back for a spray tan so I can look glowing as a bridesmaid. The waxing was quick and painless as a wax can be (about 15 minutes). I am happy to have the Tidy Shoppe in the neighborhood! read more

First of all, this shop is super cute. If I had my own shop, it would look something like this place--funky, retro, boho. I love that you can get so many things done here (cute vintage clothes, candles, soaps, etc plus all of the hair/spray tan/waxing/makeup). These 5 stars also go out to the owner, Tricia, who literally has given me the best customer service. She is an example for all business owners. Anyway, I highly recommend The Tidy Shoppe! read more

I've been seeing Tricia for a year now and she is the best! The location is really accessible, it does take a turn or two around the block to find parking but it's still pretty easy finding a spot, the shop is clean, and not overwhelming. I've never had any bad experiences with my waxing services nor my tanning. Try The Tidy Shoppe out! read more

I had a brazilian wax and an airbrush tan from Tricia. I'm a seasoned waxer, so I know what I am talking about when I say this is the woman who should be shaping your bikini area. Really fast, no repeats, no strays -no plucking, just a streamlined shaping experience. I also had an airbrush tan - again, A+. No streaks, no runs, no weird smell, just a nice golden glow. Airbrushing is the way to do it! I am so happy I never have to stand in those crumby spray booths ever again! Everyone in the shop is personable and laid back. I will be coming here from now on. read more

Debbie is a great stylist. She really knew how to control my natural curls, keeping the frizz to a minimal. My makeup was perfect but looked natural on me. She is also great at styling for a photo shoot or a special day. She also is the best at waxing, keeping eyebrows clean and full. She is easy to talk and makes you feel really comfortable. I highly recommend her. read more

Really like this place. Found a groupon for their spray tans and have gone a couple times. The staff are really great and friendly, the shop itself is cute and creepy which is right up my alley, and the spray tan is pretty good. You can definitely get a good natural color, but I think they add shimmer to their formula which is not my thing. Overall would recommend! read more
