Excellent customer service. I felt so welcome when I came in and it's so clean. I recommend this place as five stars.!

I've been coming here for 5+ years now and just do the tanning spray booth and it comes out perfect every time. Everyone that works here is very friendly and accommodating. They keep everything very clean and tidy. Highly recommend! read more

The Beach House - Tanning Beds Near Me - San Mateo, California

Excellent place.... Excellent owner Super duper clean Excellent service Always accommodates me read more

The Beach House offers the best airbrush spray tan in the Bay Area--hands down! I've been going to Jamie for over six years now, and she's been my go-to for every major event: vacations, my bachelorette party, bridal shower, and most recently, my wedding. She's absolutely amazing! Jamie is not only incredibly talented at what she does, but she's also warm, welcoming, and a total pro. She's super responsive when it comes to scheduling, and the whole process is always quick, smooth, and stress-free. She takes the time to check in throughout the appointment, making sure I'm happy with the color and making any tweaks if needed. I always leave feeling confident and glowing! On top of that, Jamie is just the sweetest person--so friendly and easy to talk to. Over the years, it's been such a pleasure getting to know her. I truly can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a flawless, natural-looking tan. read more

It makes me sad to write a lower star review because I really had a great experience in-studio. Let me start off by saying that the owner is really sweet and you can tell she puts a lot of work into her salon. We did have a few back and forths when it came to scheduling my spray tan airbrush appointment, but overall, Jaime was super accommodating and sweet. She made me feel comfortable during my appointment and I felt like she was putting a lot of care into the work. Ultimately, it comes down to the service and result itself. I was going on a bachelorette trip the next day week so wanted to look pretty dark compared to my fair skin. It's not my first experience tanning (I've done bed, booth, and multiple airbrush sessions before). I wasn't given any instructions on how to prepare for my appointment, which I think would have been really bad if I was new to tanning. Anytime I go to a new salon, the specialist sends me a "precare" checklist (things like exfoliate, don't put on product, don't shave beforehand, wear dark loose clothing to appointment, etc). Luckily, I have had experience in this so I did a normal "pre-tan" routine. There were some splotchy areas right after the appointment, but Jaime assured me multiple times that it would not be like that once I rinsed it off 5 hours later. I rinsed and when I woke up the next morning, the areas that were splotchy when I left were very clear. I went on my bachelorette trip with random white spots on my chest and arms. I've never had this happen to me, so I'm not sure what went wrong here - but I didn't have the time to fix it. I wasn't satisfied with the service and probably will not be returning. The other areas looked great, but this ruined it for me. read more

Best ever! Small business has wonderful customer Service. The place is always super clean. Best tanning salon in San Mateo.

Unfortunately their availability is limited so for the past 3 times I tried to make an appointment for airbrush, they were never available. They're very nice over the phone though... Wish I could use them because they're one of the few who has the solution I like, Norvell. read more

Great services. Friendly staff. Love that they have walk ins for spray tans (machine only, personal requires appt) very clean shop plus updated equipment. read more

The I lady I worked with was so nice and the place was very clean and cute! So quick and easy. Not orange at all or patchy. I would 100% recommend! read more

My daughter needed a little color when wearing her prom dress. We called and Jamie figured out how to fit us in her booked and busy day. She was above and beyond accommodating, friendly and professional. My daughter had never done this so Jamie took her time to talk to my daughter at the spray appointment . The spray tan was so well done. Very natural looking and no streaks. Very much worth the money . That little bit of tanning made my daughter feel pretty in her prom dress . All her close friends were so impressed with the color and the natural look. Best thing ever here is not just a good job but the staff is friendly, warm and helpful. read more

Seriously I am so white. Jenny did a great job, and I feel good I'm even going to post a pic Thanks Jenny and the Beach House read more

The Beach House - Tanning Beds Near Me - San Mateo, California

Was the best really enjoyed the service and food the ambiance was great highly recommend

I was very impressed with 'The Beach House'. The level of service I received from the staff was impeccable. First and foremost they adhere to COVID-19 guidelines and everything was sanitized above and beyond. Jenny assisted me from start to finish and she was so knowledgeable and wonderful with all my questions and got me set up with lotion. I didn't realize that they still honor any stars/points from 'A Tan for All Seasons' which was what they were before they rebranded to 'The Beach House' - that was a pleasant surprise for sure! Finding a place with tanning beds around the Peninsula has proven to be difficult, so I am super happy to have found a place like this that is so awesome! With winter looming and some need for sunshine- this has been a really great find! read more

So I have really fair skin which will burn within an hour or so if constant sun exposure. My history of vacationing has been once or twice a year anywhere with a nice hot beach. To avoid getting burnt the first day or two of vacation I have to build my base tan. This is not always easy with Bay Area weather. The Beach house is awesome! I go in one month before my trip and get enough points to tan every other day or so for a month at like 6 minutes a tan. Then the last 2 weeks I will bump up to 8 or 10 minutes or go to the bigger bed. The staff are great, super friendly and helpful. The place is always super clean with towels and bottled water if you desire. The Beach House is the place to Tan!!! read more

I love The Beach House! I got my first spray tan here when I decided to audition for the 49ers cheerleading team. As a first-timer who didn't know anything about spray tans I had an amazing experience. Everyone who works here is very sweet and helpful. Jamie (the owner) is the best--she is incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable as she guided me through the whole airbrush process. After making the team, The Beach House is where I would get my spray tans before every game. Even though our team had a tanning sponsorship elsewhere where we were could get free tans, I still chose to come to here because the color and quality is so much better. My skin always feels healthy, the tan lasts a long time, and when it fades it's very gradual and never splotchy. Thank you Jamie and team for always making me feel bronze and beautiful! read more

The best tanning salon in the bay area! It is so cute and the staff are amazing and knowledgeable! Thank you to the owner. She is awesome! She helped build up my tan before vacation so I didn't burn, and put me on a plan to maintain my tan. I also do the spray booth when I need be tanner quickly. I definitely recommend anyone to go here, especially if they want to get a little confidence boost. read more

Love the owner! She's so accommodating and helpful. I get the light To medium Vespa and am never disappointed.

I went to The Beach House for an airbrush spray tan and had an incredible experience! The tan looks so natural, and the customer service was even better! The owner made me feel welcomed and very comfortable with the process. I was impressed by all the extra effort she put into making my tan meet my expectations. I look forward to tanning with them again for my wedding day! read more

The best tanning salon with the most amazing owner Jamie!! This is the only place I've been going to for past 5 years for sunless tanning and now they have red light therapy which is awesome! I recommend to everyone! read more

The beach house did a great job giving me my very first tan for my upcoming wedding. Naturally I'm VERY fair skinned, so I was pretty nervous how this would look on me. I needed to look natural but darker?? Lol, well I decided to do a trial color and day of spray tan. I loved the color! I had a destination wedding got my tan on Tuesday & needed the color to last til Saturday (wedding day) AND IT DID. Jaime recommended a color extender cream which worked like a charm! Day of I had a nice glow which looked fantastic in photos. Jaime and the rest of the staff are super nice & knowledgeable. I highly recommend their services. Thank you ladies! read more

I used to live this place. I still do but lately whoever has been working Isn't great over the phone. I called for hours and she told me I could find the hours on Yelp! That's great but I called you. The booth was down the last few times and it's a bummer they are closed Sundays. Otherwise If you need a quick tan, it's great. I found a great place in Burlingame on Howard that I would highly recommend. They have new spray tan booth that are powerful, easy to use. The staff is so friendly and the place is super cute. read more

Great first experience! All I can say that will get these kids attention is "Spray tan on fleek" Hahaha really though. It's lookin good! read more

This place is AMAZING. I have been getting spray tans here for close to 3 years. They know what they are doing and really match your skin to the perfect tan. I have never had any streaks or blotches, its always a really clean even tan that literally will last me two weeks. I love this place ! Jenny is your girl for your spray tan needs! read more

A very well managed facility, great bids, great personnel. Very warm and friendly, with complete service for any need.

I seriously love this place, the staff is amazing and informative about the products they offer. I came in the week of my wedding to get an airbrush spray tan from Jenny. It was my first time at The Beach House and Jenny made me feel at ease and walked me through the process. The tan was subtle (per my request) and even. I'll definitely come back here again!!! read more

This place IS THE BOMB-- I make white guys look white (Welsh/Scottish white)--I've tried other tanning places, mostly on on the east coast. A few months ago I drove from San Francisco to San Mateo to try out 'The Beach House', purely based on the fact that this place is rated at the top on Yelp and sifting through the reviews (I'm always girded and suspicious of 'reviews')--but, all the five star reviews are spot on--Jamie and Jenny really are 'awesome'--really friendly ladies-- I've used every tanning salon in my home town in New York and most of the ones in San Francisco--varying degrees of expertise, results, professionalism, etceteras....I don't know what product or voodoo they use to set them apart...I just know that I look so much more naturally tanned than the myriad other tanning places I've tried-- Hands down this place takes the cake-- You won't be disappointed--I swear to Buda--'A' Plus place for a superior tan--And I need every advantage I can muster at my disposal-- read more

The people were super nice here, but I was really disappointed with my spray tan. There were spots on my thigh and calf that seemed to have been missed, and didn't darken at all. I had gone 2 days before my wedding, and was pretty alarmed to notice this after I showered the day before. When I called to see if there was anything they could do, the woman at the front desk said the spray tan artists weren't in that day and the best she could do would be to give me some self tanning cream. Since my wedding was the next day, I took her up on it but it didn't make a difference. Fortunately, I was wearing a long dress so no one could tell, but even the woman at the front desk was a little appalled at how it looked. If I had had a dress that revealed my legs, I would have panicked! It also wore off super unevenly, more so than other tans I've gotten. read more

Let's start with JENNY IS THE BEST. She is the absolute sweetest. The Beach House was busy the night I was there. But Jenny did not rush me or her work. My tan appeared to have some blotchiness when I woke up the next morning, but after I showered it definitely evened out. I called ahead to make an appointment, but other people did walk in so either works. My appointment did get honored before the walk ins, which I consider a plus. Walking into The Beach House was a surprise. I'm used to one room places. So it was nice to have multiple stalls and very clean, crisp decor. It felt very Malibu in there, if you know what I mean. I purchased the 3-spray tan package, which was only $115. So the price is definitely on the better end. Also my tan lasted well over a week. Will definitely go back for another tan (well I have to go back two more times anyways, BUT I'd go back again after my package and buy more). Last, LOVE that they open so late. Work schedules can be crazy, so it's nice to know I don't have to rush to get a tan at 6pm like at other places. read more

I had Jaime Ward as my spray tan specialist and she was amazing. It had been a while since I had done a spray tan and I wanted a perfect tan for a photo shoot that I was doing on a Monday. So I came in and met with her on a Friday to make sure everything was perfect. It turned out that my skin/body did not take well to the tanner, but that wasn't a problem Jaime was in constant contact with me, and wanted to make sure that I was satisfied and my tan looked amazing. She came back in on Sunday and did the touch ups for me. She also helped me because my feet and hands got a little more tanning solution so I was able to remove and she reapplied it and it turned out amazing. To be honest even with showers every other day my tan lasted almost 10 days. She is very knowledgeable about tanning and how to take care of the tan to make it last. If there are imperfections she takes the time to help you fix those. She is amazing and I would highly recommend her for any special occasion or if you just want that glow. She is super responsive and caring. What an amazing experience read more

I visited The Beach House for the second time today and had a fantastic experience. Everything from the waiting room and booths to the restroom was kept very clean and tidy. I used the Versa machine which was quick and gives great results. My tan turned out beautiful! Very even and love the color - not orangey at all. Jamie was very patient and accommodating. They seemed pretty busy! I love to see small businesses thrive esp after the pandemic. Great establishment, will definitely continue to support. read more

The Beach House is my all time favorite tanning spot! The salon is always so clean & refreshing, also during these times of covid I feel more than comfortable tanning there. Jaime the owner, and Jenny the spray tan specialist, are two amazing women in business who are so kind. The tanning beds are awesome & the stand up tanning machine is phenomenal! There's always a variety of tanning lotions to chose from, so I always get the perfect tan. LOVE this place!!! read more

The perfect place to go for a spray tan! Phenomenal customer service. Jamie is so thoughtful and makes sure you feel safe/comfortable (especially in the COVID era). She took the time to ensure I was happy with the final look and it turned out great! Highly recommend. read more

Now I'm ready for my vacation. Jenny did a great job!! She was so informative and kind. I love this type of service. Also the salon has a lot of cosmetics for your tan. Over all, I highly recommend this place. read more

I would give more stars if it was an option! Highly recommend The Beach House. Quality equipment, products, and people -- the team there is always friendly, professional and so helpful when I have questions. Everything is kept spotlessly clean, which I is important to me. I've been a client for over a decade. If you're looking for a spray booth, uv beds or airbrush tan, do yourself a favor and check this place out first! You'll be glad you did! read more

I have been tanning at this location for over two years and have seen such great changes since the current owner purchased it about a year and a bit ago. It is super clean, new bulbs are installed often, the staff is friendly and go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of - although Andrea is my fav. The hours are convenient, there are beds available every time we come in and they offer complimentary bottled water which is a nice touch. One thing I wish they had is a monthly membership one could pay for unlimited tanning. They work on a point system which is a little goofy to me, but it works. This place is great and I would recommend it to all - especially those in need of a tan. read more

I will for sure come back here again after my great experience ! I was pastey white -ish but then this place did the trick for me ~!!! I was heading to vegas for a music festival , in dead summer, and did not want to be blinding people with my white skin .. im latina but the light light fair skinned latina LOL... so anyways , I made an appointment here and Jenny took care of me. She is sweet and professional and told me before hand what the process was like. Its pretty easy once your there . You follow her directions and she sprays you very beautifully and evenly.. my tip to any first timers, and I forgot to do this, wear a bikini top or do it top less so you don't have tan lines I wore a strap less bandeaux because I forgot that I was going to be in low cut shirts , I kept thinking I was just doing it for my arms and legs to not be so blinding white haha.. anyway, t his really worked and really gave me a gorgeous tan ! and confidence !! I don't think I will go anywhere else for a spray tan. Beautiful shop to.. thanks ladies ! read more

Best tanning experience by far I have ever experienced. I am visiting San Francisco from Portland, OR on a business trip and needed some quick color. I found this salon on yelp and saw that they had great reviews and great prices. My hotel is about 30 mins away from this salon, however WELL worth the drive!! Very professional staff. You can tell the manager takes great pride in her salon. She is very sweet, and caring about her customers: she wants everyone to leave happy! Very well kept, and clean. Beautiful front waiting room with refreshments. I love my results with the Versa Spa. They offered sticky feet to put on the bottom of your feet so that the bottom of your feet don't get discolored or streaky. Also prep lotion, towel, hairnet. They offered me a great special- 3 spray tans for $50.00. Which included any color I wanted light-dark/double dark. And a primer spray- which is unheard of at any salon I've been to. Usually that is extra- how amazing! Both employee and manager walked me through the process of their equipment and were very kind and thorough to make sure I understood the process. Their spray booth also offers a Dyson dryer so after you get out of the booth you can also dry for a few extra minutes after the dry pass session. They were not pushy nor did I feel rushed like most salons I've been to. I am so happy, I found this amazing salon. I'm sad they are not in Oregon! If your from California or out of state and you need some color, this place is a must! I cannot rave enough about this place! read more
