Very friendly staff and very helpful staff. They also have great deals. However, I am skeptical about their red light therapy. The red light therapy brings you into a regular tanning bed that has a slightly pink tinted bulb. It does not look like the real red light therapy bulbs that actually help with wrinkles and weight loss. read more

People are very friendly and easy to get into a tanning booth, even during peak times. Take advantage of their numerous specials too and save some money. read more

Came here on 8/6/23 to inquire about monthly tanning options. Upon entering we were warmly welcomed by a customer service team member named Christine. Christine answered all of our questions and then gave us a few different options. Seeing how this is our first time using a tanning facility, we decided on the Platinum Membership package that includes unlimited tanning for 1month. So my wife will have 1 month unlimited tanning to see how she likes it and how well it works. After the 30 days it ends on its own and there's no ongoing charges and such. No long term contracts per Christine. When it ends, it ends. Easy breezy!! The facility was very clean, well lit and very inviting. And who doesn't appreciate stuff like that. Thank you Christine for helping us get our Platinum Membership package 30 day unlimited tanning service!! read more

Love the customer service by Samantha at the Beach location. What a blessing to always see a smiling face when I walk in and a pleasant non rushed conversation. This is what makes me stay a customer.....can't beat great customer service these days! read more

I've been coming here for nearly a year. I found them on Groupon while searching for infrared saunas. I love how clean the individual saunas are! It's a huge pet peeve when you see someone else's sweat stains - gross. They give you a cool face towel beforehand, which makes me feel like I'm in a spa. I also like Sam, who works at the front desk. She's so warm and friendly! I'm waiting for the Fourth of July to buy another pack of sauna sessions (hopefully on sale). read more

Do to COVID they requesting a curbside check in ! But I think they didn't get the idea of hygiene!!! This place does not look like it gets cleaned and sanitized properly ! Its just not right! Specially in this pandemic spa owners should be more careful to keep it clean and sanitized ! I'm going to report this business and forward all the pictures The Environmental Health Division investigates complaints regarding public pool safety and sanitation in Orange County. If a pool or a spa is available to the public or multiple families, the Environmental Health Division can investigate these complaints. read more

I used to come here all the time and I was always pleased with the results. I was gifted a month pass for my birthday and I've gone 5 or 6 times in their "best bed" and have not got tan at all. I use lotion as well. It's best to get your lotion somewhere else because their samples are $12. I know that gift wasn't cheap and I'm dissatisfied. read more

Fabulous Results EVERY TIME‼ Been going here fo 10 years. Friendly, helpful and nice‼ Fran read more

Been coming here for 10+ years and always get great results. Sam is my favorite! She is always very welcoming ,helpful and knowledge about the products. Highly recommend! read more

Sam was literally the sweetest. She helped me understand all my different tanning options.

Love this tanning salon! It has taken me so damn long to find a place I love and i'm never leaving. The salon is always clean and the gals are so friendly. When I moved to Huntington Beach, I tried to scout new locations for tanning and nobody had anything great to offer until UCATAN. Before I found them I was still driving to Pasadena to tan and the drive was getting to be a bit too much just to tan so I was on a mission to stay local. They have great beds for all levels, offer stand up, red light therapy and infrared sauna. Ummm, you can't beat that! Plus the prices are great. I ended up signing up for the Diamond Membership and I have zero regrets. If you're on the hunt for a great tanning salon - look no further. read more

I absolutely LOoove this place! The location off beach and Garfield. They always know me by name and then they have my bed assigned and ready to go even before I enter into the salon.. However their manager:, Madison ; is unfortunately not as friendly and not welcoming at al. No smiles no nice warm greeting,, simply put-- she unfortunately makes me feel unwelcome and that she hates her job or that she literally wants me or anyone who comes into the salon to turn around and walk out. And I would do just that except I don't allow people to taint my decisions or my attitude with their bad customer service etiquette. I personally work in customer service for a living nd making pleasant conversation or connections with dealing with the public.is necessary for customer retention. I expect the same respect and happy vibes that I give her and everyone else for that matter in return. A smile can change someone's whole day. read more

I have not been able to get off work in time to go Tan at all this week and I just want everyone to know that the staff at the Huntington Beach location. Especially Sam, her patience and her understanding of people in general, tanning is my 15 minutes of me time and peace, I have a lot of children and not having to explain that to her and her just be a rad person because she could of turned me away, but did not on a Saturday even. I appreciate so do my kids but her service is always the best every time I see her. read more

Everyone who lives in Orange County knows that tanning places are a dime a dozen. You have to dig through the masses to find a good one. This place is great. The people who work there are super friendly and helpful. It's easy to get in and out and outside of the Versa machine being hit and miss sometimes, it's a great place to get your glow on. I use the spray tanning services exclusively. I am the type of person who looks like Hell without any color so it's a need for me to come 1-2 times a week. I used to be in the sun and tan all the time but have to spray now so it's important for me to find a good place that just doesn't treat it like some secondary thing. I think that their unlimited package is the best out there. read more

This place is always clean and staff is always nice. The saunas are amazing! I purchased a package and I was able to go to the other location since they were booked. Great way to accommodate your clients! Will definitely continue to come here! The cold towel with essential oils was a nice touch read more

I love it here. I have been coming here a few years now. The staff is so sweet! They are all attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable on their products. The cost is fairly reasonable, and they stayed open during all this COVID BS after May 2020. The check in after COVId days are one call in the parking lot, and/or (do not quote me in this) but they might be making appointments on most services now rather than just walk in. There are always specials on lotions. And I have learned when their busy hours are so I usually do not wait. But peak season it's a roll of the dice and lucky to not wait. I like it here. read more

Was headed on vacation in the next busy week so I called UCATAN and asked the receptionist if she could get me in a bed for a session then give me a coat of spray right after. She came through with both in a short time. She was very attentive and generous; the place was clean and relaxing with a nice vibe going. Not sure what the receptionists' name was but she was awesome. I highly recommend UCATAN read more

I want to express my appreciation for the excellent customer service which I received on my last visit. The staff was warm and accommodating, and they were very helpful to me. I'd like to compliment one of your employees, Kathleen, for the excellent service she provided me. I have always been pleased with the service I receive at this location. However, Kathleen's professionalism exceeded my expectations. read more

To be completely honest. This place is whatever. The beds are always clean. However I do wish they provided towels in each room...why wouldn't you? And the music in the beds could be improved. Also the Asian girl at the front desk has a shit attitude. I would be so embarrassed to have someone with her lack of basic customer service skills working for me. I called to "check in" like I always do. She immediately put me on hold. Didn't even ask. So then I walked in. She ignored me didn't greet me. So I stood up and asked "may I check in" "Give me a sec"is what she replied with. I asked for bed 4. Bed 4 was occupied. So I said I'll wait. She cleaned it once the other guest left. She then said sorry someone else called in for 4 so you can't have that bed. I said I called and I waited. I'm here.... So I then took a different lower level bed. Unbelievable. Being nice isn't that hard of a job. Get it together. read more

I really like the people I like the services but I had a problem with their corporate. My wallet got stolen and I had to cancel the card that my account was on so when I showed up I wasn't allowed to use the services which is fine. When I got a new card and re-registered they try to start my membership from the original date which only had a week left in that month. They wouldn't allow me to go during that time but they wanted me to pay for it. If you think this is a 50-50 confusing situation I specifically asked the workers if the date would start fresh again once I got my new card and I clarified it and was ensured the date would reset. It's not my fault their employees were misinformed had I known this I would've acted very differently or they should've allow me to use it within the grace period. read more

Ive been going to this place for probably 2 years now. I am super paranoid about aging so I spray tan. This place makes my tan look natural and it is pretty cheap. I paid for a package deal. I think the package was around $80. The spray tanning machine gives me an even flawless tan. I love it! the only downside is that its pretty scary inside. It's very loud and dark. However, I cant seem to stop going. read more

The staff greeted me with a horrible attitude (newer girl) and told me I had to go back outside and call after I had previously checked in the week before inside. AND, apparently a shirt that covers your nose, mouth, chin, chest, and stomach isn't good enough even though I saw people come and go with a mask covering only their mouth entering and exiting. I've been a customer for a few years and can assure you, as a HB resident, that I will not use their service again. read more

Great place. I got the $60 monthly unlimited platinum package for the mystic spray and sauna. Your guest can come and get a level 1 bed session for free as long as your there. Love it - Every Sunday $10 mystic and or $10 sauna for any non-members. I like to mix the accelerator + bronzer with scent in with my tan. I am paying the top price option membership they offer for tanning, so I feel those additions should be included in the platinum package at least once a week as an option read more

UCATAN - Nicole is such a knowledgeable sweetheart! Always smiling and suggesting new products :) Im now Top Regular here as Dutches on Yelp! - Spray Tanning Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Been going to this spot since 2005. Always good service. Beds are great quality and saunas are highly recommend.

By far, THIS PLACE IS THE BEST TO TAN. Their beds have got to be one of the best if not THE BEST beds I've been in. I use room 21, the stand up machine. And I tell you, I get color in one session which is awesome and amazing. Their bulbs are top notch. I always get in when I drop by, never waited and on top of all that, Lucy, sherry and Danielle give excellent customer service. Which is rare in tanning salons. I normally don't even interact but these gals def make my experience that much better. Needless to say I'll be stopping by here only Bc I'm giving up the other salons for this unbeatable gem. read more

Their AC doesn't work and the management is across the country?? How is that practical at all?! They need to give that position to someone who is present at the store and can make an appearance, rather than sitting at home. The only reason it isn't a one star review is because all of the girls are extremely sweet and always have a smile on their face. read more

Great place to unwind on a full day's worth of deadlines. Tried the infrared sauna with daughter as she introduced me to this idea (one she previously tried in D.C. ) Try this location in HB is clean and friendly staff. read more

I love this place, but unfortunately, have to think twice now before going. I recently went to my dermatologist for yearly check and my Doc found two Warts on the back of my calves. Doc said, either you got it from your tanning or the gym most likely AND I don't go to the gym...Im bummed. I hope all the sweet Gals working there are doing their diligence in cleaning the tanning beds with a GOOD disinfectant. Thankfully Doc burned them off my back calf, but he says they're very contagious and if I continue my love of tanning beds, it could happen again. Clean those Beds Good, because I still wanna TAN!!! read more

I went here a while ago and it was great! Recently I had a custom spray tan and it was fine but still not as good as this place!!

This is my oasis after work! I absolutely need to detox, unwind, relax and feel nothing but pampered calmness. Ucatan is very clean, the staff is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and reliable. I love that they know who i am when i walk in. I tell everyone i know about UCATAN and how much i love it! Oh... the hours are great... i appreciate that i can sauna for 45min, do my red light therapy for 15min without fearing they're gonna close before i am done! Thanks UCATAN for pampering me! read more

Just came here for a service. There was one person ahead of me. The customer service rep was extreme slow. I patiently waited. I was checked in and then I was told it would be cleaned, I waited. Something happened with another machine. The girl that was supposed to clean my machine went to tend to the issue. There was another young lady behind the desk. After waiting awhile? I asked her if she could clean the machine. She told me she isn't working. First of all, if you are not working then you should not be behind the desk. There was a line already forming. She kindly cleaned the room. I thanked her. Then the machine was not set, so I asked if someone could set it. The slow lady said yes. I waited another 7 minutes and she still did not turn it on. I wasted my lotion and still didn't get my service. She was leaned over on the counter gossiping. No one apologized nor did it get turned on. I left completely dissatisfied. I wasted 49 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Following up on this review. I received a call from the manager and she apologized for the experience. I give 4 stars . read more

To start off... I'm very very pale... the kind of pale that after 5 minutes in the sun turns blistering red and peels and turns back into pasty white once again. Anyway, a co-worker of mine would always come in with this awesome tan, and every time I would tell her how nice it was and ask her where she went. She recommended this salon a few times, but I, being the skeptic I am, (and total scaredy-cat, fearing I would turn a horrible color of bright orange) waited until now to finally give it a try. She had recommended going on Sundays, because they have a $10 special, where you can get any tan for only $10. I figured why not, it's now or never right? I have a 50/50 chance of it looking nice or wanting to wish I had never been born. I opted for the spray on Mystic Tan, knowing it would be better than the beds and it would give me instant results. The girl at the front was pretty helpful, she led me back to the private room, where she explained the process of undressing and getting in, and how to stand to get an optimal tan. What she didn't tell me, and probably should have, is that there is no warning before it starts spraying. You have about 2 seconds from the time you press the button until you get into position to start being sprayed. She also didn't tell me (and this is a huge one) is to try to hold my breath as long as I possibly could. As soon as I felt the spray hit my face, I was instantly shocked, and then took in a breath, along with some nice tanning solution.. so my insides I'm sure a nice golden brown as well. And, finally she also forgot to demonstrate how to towel off. I, being a first time spray tanner, thought to only pat dry because I did not want to wipe off the tan. However, after coming home and reading some info about the mystic tan, it was clear you are supposed to wipe off just as you would after you shower. When I exited the booth, and put my clothes back on, I didn't notice much of a difference. However, as the day progressed, the tan started getting darker, and darker....and darker... specifically on my face. I started to panic, as the tan s tarted getting darker, I looked more and more like a bum with dirt smeared all over my face. As much as I wanted to immediately rush home and jump in the shower, I decided to wait out the 4 hours, as recommended and then shower. Those 4 hours couldn't pass fast enough, but as soon as they did, I hopped in, and scrubbed my face as much as I could. When I got out, I was happy to find that my face and body were a pretty golden brown, something I'm not used to seeing on my pasty white skin. I was impressed. My co- workers even noticed and complimented on how "healthy" I look. I will definitely be going back, now that I know there is a learning curve to tanning, hopefully next time will go a lot more smoothly and with less panic afterward. I took off one star for the girl not explaining the process thoroughly enough, but she was still pretty helpful all in all. As I mentioned above, try going on Sundays, any tan is only $10, not a bad deal! read more

I wrote one review already, but I must say again how disappointed I am with their customer service and especially Danielle!!! So when she found out about my yesterday's review, she said I can no longer come to sauna. So, I came to get my service and I was pretty much kicked out. She also said, that if I will not leave the premises she would call the police!!!! This is after I bought membership and paid additional $200.00!!!! To be able to come twice a day!!! I have never been treated so poorly anywhere in the world, and I travel quite a bit. I was in California for a very short period of time and wanted to use sauna just for a month, and this is what I had to deal with! I suffer from a chronic sinus condition, where sauna is the only natural way that helps me stay sane. I came here to get better and relax and that's hat I got. Anyways- I managed to get my last session after several phone calls back and forth. Waiting for my money back. I didn't do anything for Danielle to call the police, I only wanted fair human behavior and proper business etiquette from U CA TAN. Wow!!! Very poor. One is for sure- Danielle would never have w place in my business. Certainly not as a manager. I am not even sure why, she is on this position, perhaps related to the owners? But if not- I don't understand how could they even let something like this at their place of business. Just really, very very sorry I had to go through this and even write this review. Woman to woman should do quite opposite from what just have happened! For all of you who want to go and have sauna experience- go for it, it's extremely beneficial. It's a place where you should be able to relax, renew and replenish. Very good way to love yourself and treat yourself with love. I am sure Tamara will give you best experience ever! She handled this difficult situation with grace and professionalism. Danielle it would be nice if you can take a breath when you talk. Bad manners! Zero ability of having conversation. The fact that you have been working in this place for so long, doesn't make you right. Or maybe - you have been working for too long and customers irritate you. Time for change? You don't cancel your customer's membership because their friend posted one star review! Yelp is freedom of speech. Do you want to control the reviews and tell people how many starts they should give you? This is not legal. I am beyond blown away by U CA TAN business attitude! my friend's membership was canceled because of me!!!! Omg! Speechless. read more

I just started going here and don't plan to keep my membership active for very long, so hopefully once I cancel and opt for the "save-away" plan the 5 stars will still stand. The girls here are SUPER nice and extremely helpful. Their memberships are very comprehensive, the facilities are pristine and the vibe is great. Tanning here has become something I really look forward to; I'm already addicted. Now I definitely *get it*, why people love tanning in the beds-- I feel AMAZING afterwards, also during. It feels like you're being hugged by a sunbeam. Sooo relaxing. I can't wait to see how my tan progresses. read more

This is the newest and cleanest of all three salons in HB. Girls at the desk are always friendly. I have been a member at U-CA-Tan for many years now and have never had a issue with the beds or the service. I only knock off a star because they do not have mirrors or trash cans in any of the rooms. When I put my clothes back on I like to look at myself in the mirror to make sure that I am put back together. read more

Honestly So Rad. It was my first time and I got an 8 minute bed and a medium spray tan and I am still tan as hell. So happy I was butt while now I feel good to be in my suit in public lol The girl Nicole was so nice and helpful and gave me great suggestions. read more

UCATAN - Spray Tanning Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

If you are looking for a great tanning place, this is it!! They have the most up to date technology in their tanning beds or maybe you are like me and only like to spray tan to protect your skin from the sun, they have both options available. I have the unlimited package since I take full advantage of the infrared saunas and red light therapy that is amazing for any skin conditions or even chronic pain issues. I had been going here for a couple years and then just didn't want to keep up with it anymore so took a little break. I came about a couple months ago and am so happy I did. My skin has never looked better. Danielle (manager) and all around fantastic person and the rest of the women that work here are the best and want you to have a great experience. You are always greeted with a friendly smile and can feel totally comfortable while getting naked in this clean and safe environment while getting your tan, sauna or red light therapy on. Plus extra bonus if you have a package you can use it at any of their 3 locations in HB. If I'm on the other side of the city for some reason I can go to the Warner location or the very newest and coolest location on Beach Blvd. over by Target it really is a beautiful tanning experience :-) read more

What an experience. Needed a nice even tan for a friends Monday night wedding. (I was maid of honor) So in my regular "never think to try something ahead of time" fashion I went in on Sunday to get my tan. Mind you I've never done a spray tan before. But heavens forbid I be this white walking down the aisle. Kinda like the time years ago when I was in another wedding and decided on the way to the rehearsal to go and get my underarms waxed for the first time. Walked around like a guy on steroids the whole night cause I couldn't put my arms down. Yeah. That's me. Smarty pants. Anyways the girl at the counter was super friendly. Patiently explained the process to me. Showed me how to stand, rub down and how to make it last. 5 mins later I'm out the door. That fast. So you walk in to a little sauna like room. Strip down to your birthday suit. Put on a pair of goggles and a shower cap. And then put on a thick lotion in places that are dryer and absorb more spray. ie elbows, feet, hands, knees etc. You stand facing the spray, spread everything and lean backwards (so it gets everywhere, gross), hold your breath, get sprayed....flip around for the backside, lean kinda forward (again so it gets everywhere), get sprayed.....and your done. SO. Important part. The wipe down. They say just pat yourself. Don't rub or you'll rub the spray off. And IMPORTANT is to look for drips. I kinda let myself air dry for a bit while looking for drips. They're totally cool about you taking your time. I went home thinking wow. I don't look that different. Bummer. 2 hrs later some friends came over for dinner. The husband instantly asked me if I'd gotten a tan. Yes I replied proudly. This may be a good thing after all. We proceeded to all go outside and hang for the evening/night. BBQ and a bonfire. And then, 4 hrs later even in the darkness I realized something was going wrong. I was starting to see drip tans magically appear on my calves and thighs. But hey, no biggie, the dress was gonna cover it. The forearms? Not so sure about. After we all went inside I started getting looks from the Hubby but as not being something new I ignored it. Sadly it was then, after 6 hrs, I looked in the mirror for the first time...and busted out laughing. I'd gone from a white girl to an Umpa Lumpa. I jumped in the shower and scrubbed. Exactly what she'd told me not to do. It worked though. The next day I was walking down the aisle with another crazy what not to do story and a golden tan. read more
