I got my first ever spray tan here at U-CA. I came in with 3 of my friends on a Sunday around 3. The girl at the front (didn't get her name) was very nice and it looked like she was the only one working there during the time I went. It was super busy once we got there. There were maybe like 15 people that came in while we were there waiting for each other to get our spray tans. I think 2 of my friends, plus myself, had never gotten a spray tan before. They have a special on Sundays that is $20 for a spray tan. My friend told me it used to be $10 on Sundays but they got new equipment and products or something like that. The girl at the front looked at our ID's and started getting our bottles ready. I got medium with an accelerator and the scent "summer dream". The accelerator ($7) accelerates the process so you are able to shower in 4 hours instead of 6-8, but the color doesn't show right away since it goes on clear. The scent was $2. My friends got a bronzer ($4) instead of the accelerator, which makes the color show up right away. I was the first out of my friends to go in, but it was a cool process. I admit I was a little scared of being super orange after, but we'll see how the color shows up later. It was a good experience overall! Thank you U-CA-TAN! read more

I just recently cancelled my account here so I felt I must re-review. People have posted on here what a hassle it is to cancel their membership and the staff is always rude about it or they still get charged or whatever. My experience was just fine. Me- I'd like to cancel my membership Staff-okay, sign this paper and date it. that's all.. and no money came out of my account this month. Yay. read more

This place is pretty awesome. I went here and had so many questions. The girl working was so helpful. She had lines out the door and was working by herself, she was an amazing multitasker because she was still able to help me and answer all my questions. She did it all with a smile. I will be back here and recommend it. read more

UCATAN - Amazing selection of top tanning lotions - Spray Tanning Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I am not white, I am pasty. I have been heckled at a beach and told that I needed SPF 100. So I have decided to spray tan. Yep. You read this correctly. It has been about an hour. I have become increasingly dark....hoping to avoid Ompa Loompa status. I actually mentioned to the attendant that I don't want to look even slightly ommpa loompa-ish in nature. The funniest thing about this place is the fact that the very nice lady that provided me instructions informed me that if I forgot any of the instructions, I could reference the list on the wall. Number 1: take off clothing. Apparently there is a small contingent that can't figure out that they shouldn't spray tan with their clothes on. I was pleased with the place and while I paid 25 bucks, it's good to know I can go on Sunday and go for 10. The process is quick and painless. I would go back unless I end up looking like Snooki from the Jersey Shore. fist pump read more

Love it here! So many great staff members. Tonight, Lucy really went above & beyond. Thanks so much Lucy!

I've been coming here for a while now. This place is VERY clean. Nicole M is always sooo nice and smiling. I saw here cleaning the beds and she did not miss a spot! A client of mine goes here also and said the same thing. I'd recommend this place to my friends and family. They also have other services, teeth whitening, a sauna, and the red lamp thing that help with things from wrinkles to back pain. read more

I've been coming here for months now and I absolutely adore this place. They have been so helpful and my tan is always glowing!

This place is awesome. Always friendly staff and they have great deals periodically. I moved so this won't be my tanning place anymore (which bums me out!) Prices are fair and I never had to wait for a bed. Highly recommended! read more

Love this place I will never go anywhere else. Danielle super knowledgable and accommodating . Love her she's bomb ! Beds are always very clean , sanitary,&nice presentation . Also prices are very fair every Sunday they offer 11$ special on all beds including high end fancy beds & 20$ spray tan . good people good business great prices happy customer would totally recommend tanning here !! read more

Super great place! Clean with great beds. Nicest team EVER helped sign me up and got me started right away as a walk--in. Everyone was wearing masks and safety was number one. They explained all the necessary pieces and parts required for a safe and effective tanning experience. They also offer saunas! Loved the energy and kindness. read more

Great salon, the girls that work there are always extremely helpful and sweet. I used to go to another salon in Los Alamitos and I always felt like an outcast when I went in without a tan and I don't get that here. The prices are extremely reasonable for the beds/services and always have good deals on buying multiple services at once. And who doesn't love two free upgrades with the cheapest membership a month. read more

I found this place on yelp. Super glad I came across it. I feel super welcomed everytime I come in. Staff is amazing, and helpful. Wide selection of tanning lotion. I love the stand up tanning selection one use and you come out so much darker! YAS !!! read more

UCATAN - New sauna !!! Different light settings to do different things to the body! - Spray Tanning Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

See all

I give Tamara at U-Ca-Tan five stars! I'm a bit of a germaphobe so I took it upon myself to walk in while Tamara cleaned my bed before tanning. With two hands Tamara scrubbed down the bed, top & bottom, wiped the control panel, headrest & even handles even the doorknobs all this with s smile! Now that's commendable! read more

UCATAN - Spray Tanning Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Help me understand what a $130 per month membership buys me? It SHOULD buy me a tan where all bulbs are working in the bed. New record....you put me in a bed with 7, yep you read that right, 7 bulbs out in bed 4!!! That is completely unacceptable. This was on the heels of another woman coming out of bed 1 saying the main face bulb was out. Terrible service and terrible experience! Make it right-fix the one thing your providing a service with! Unbelievable! This particular location has a history of not having bulbs working and I'm done tolerating it! You're not the only tanning place in Huntington Beach and I'll be sure to take my hard earned money somewhere else. Do not sign up for a membership at this place and if you do, make sure all the bulbs work before you get in! read more

I am a woman of color so of course was a bit reluctant to get a spray tan. What if it didn't work and I ended up wasting my money?? Well, let me tell you, it worked! I got the darkest service and the tan happened gradually, it took a few hours for me to go from my natural caramel to a nice mocha. My friend and I both went the day before we got pictures done on the beach. Best part-- the spray tan is done in a machine so you don't have to worry about standing there while someone sprays you. read more

Worthless! I paid to come and they called to cancel me with no explanation. I asked Danielle the Manager WHY my subscription was being cancelled and she said "because your friend who referred you gave us a 1 star review on yelp" REALLY? SERIOUSLY? They advertise when you refer a friend you get $10 and so does your friend. My friend did not get $10 for referring me neither did I get $10 for being a referee. WHO I mean, WHAT business in 2016 cancels your subscription "because your friend gave us a 1 star review and we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." I felt like a black person in 1960 in the south, that's how I felt! I wouldn't be surprised if their 5 star reviews on here are from friends and families of employees. I've asked to speak with Dirk the owner but he has not returned my call. Now let's see if they refund me money money they owe me as they promised. I wouldn't waste my time here. Go check out other competitors who will treat you with respect. Looks there is good reason they are not a member of the Better Business Bureau. Michael D. Butler Local resident and Chamber of Commerce Member read more

Horrible Customer Service and Management. They do not care about the customer and are egotistical and dishonest. BEWARE-- STAY AWAY! dirty beds, broken beds and rude staff... read more

Nice CLEAN beds. State of the art beds. I highly recommend the red light beds. Very good experience.

I have been tanning here 3 to 5 years never have I ever been treated so unfairly as today here with Nicole. I have a service dog with full legal documentation. Nicole so rudely discriminated against me and my disabilities. The owner should really look into the service dog registry laws before my layers contact them. read more

To begin I will state that I am a little afraid to post this because I have been warned that negative remarks = kicked out no longer wanted as a client. So lets see what happens. Nicole is wonderful. If not for her I would have cancelled my membership long ago. She is the only sane, efficient, common sense employee I have had the pleasure of dealing with here. She can schedule you into several services in one visit with limited wait time in between. (This seems to be out of the realm of reality for every other employee). Nicole is always smiling and cheerful. She is like a little bit of sunshine! Kaylee is the opposite! Thank goodness she is not usually at the Beach Blvd. location. I had the awful experience of being checked in by her. It was in the evening and she was rude. She seemed to have a personal dislike for me (although we have never me). I felt so terrible dealing with her I left without using any service. Alex is like a deer in headlights. I went in to use two services: red light and tanning bed. I ask for a specific bed because of some back issues. The tanning bed was in use so I was put into the red light bed. There was no other people in the waiting room and two rooms were being used, rooms 4 and 8. When I finished in the red light bed I walked to waiting room and at the same time a man walked in the front door. I waited while he checked in. He was told to have a seat his room would be ready in about 10-12 minutes. I walked up to the desk and she looked at me like she did not remember checking me in 15 minutes ago. She asked what I wanted to do and I reminder her of my request. She just looked at me for a few seconds and seemed uncomfortable. She then says there is a long wait for my requested bed! What? There are three people in the place! One in the tanning bed, me and the man that just came in the front door. She told me that someone had just went into the requested bed and the man was also waiting for the bed so it would be about 30 minutes. I was frustrated. I asked why she had not made note that I was waiting for that bed and I had checked in already and should have been put in the bed. She could see the time remaining on the red light bed and she had to know to put me in the tanning bed next. She just looked blank. I left without tanning. Now do not get me wrong I know a bed cannot set empty waiting for me; but if I check in and list the services I am here for why is there a problem with efficient scheduling. If she put someone in the requested tanning bed the last 2 minutes of my red light bed shutting off---come on! I have been told that someone is going into a bed when I arrive. I understand that if someone is there ahead of me and are using two or more services they are in line ahead of me. The scheduling is a problem if you are doing more that one service. Nicole is the only person who seems to use her ability to keep customers moving with the least amount of excessive waiting in between each service. read more

This place is amazing , always clean! Nice staff and they have the BEST BEDS EVER!!!!!! Came here because the last tanning place I went to had terrible beds that gave me horrible tan lines ! Thank you U-CA-TAN for being so great ! read more

I used to be tan in high school, then I started college, and then I got a full-time job...I never see the light of day, so I am super white. When I have done other spray tans, they made me look like Magda from There's Something About Mary! But with this place, the Mystic is truly believable! It has a great golden color! LOVE IT! And for the $10 sundays...you can't beat! read more

I have been here many times. I started off purchasing the week introduction package, which was about $45 if I can remember correctly, and I could use any bed/service for up to seven days. Obviously I just used the highest pressure beds, which are amazing! The bed in the front gives you great deep color. The stand up bed gives you great all around color getting those tricky places like under your arms and booty cheeks :) Yesterday I went in for a mystic tan because the airbrush tan that I got at a different salon was already coming off after one day! The mystic tan did exactly what I wanted it to do, it made me dark dark dark! The staff is friendly and they have other locations around the OC. read more

I got a spray tan and it just was to confusing for me. Right heel on 4 toes on 1 and it went to fast. I was confused. But i do like my color.....i went from milky white to a nice caramel color :) read more

I've gone to this location and the ucatan at Bella Terra. I like the staff much more here, they're more personable. Nicole is always super nice and helpful! I would gladly recommend this location. read more

I have been going here off and on for 4 years. The place is always clean, the beds always have fresh bulbs. I employees are great. Always smiles and welcomes. They are very good at informing me of the current sales/packages they have to offer. Yet they are not overly pushy on sales. They fully disclose but don't get mad if you decline. I love this place and will continue to come back. read more

Nicole is amazing!!! I showed up this evening at 9:10pm (thinking ya'll closed at 10pm) and Nicole was very welcoming. She told me that they closed a few minutes ago but still took the time to explain the different packages, beds & lotions. I felt bad asking if I could sign up tonight but she said absolutely! Not only did she allow me to sign up after you should have been closed for day but she even let me tan. Great customer service! You have yourself a new client and I couldn't be more excited! Nicole, you're wonderful! :) read more

I have been going to this U Ca Tan for almost 4 months. I went to U Ca Tan for the Infrared Sauna as I am on a long term detox. I found their sauna to be very invigorating and rejuvenating. Infrared is a deep penetrating heat that creates a profuse sweat (they always provide a cold wet washcloth for a clean cool down after the sauna). I found the facility to be very clean, the staff very professional and friendly. I often call the same day I want an appointment, which works 90% of the time. I also enjoy the red light therapy after a sauna experience. Red light therapy is good for the skin. U Ca Tan is very popular for their different tanning units, of which I do not utilize. They have a great monthly deal (better than anything else I could find in the area) where I pay one fee, and I can go as much as I want, and have access to tanning beds, infrared sauna, and red light therapy. read more

I have recently moved to the OC area from SD and was missing itan. I looked up tanning salons and decided to go with U-CA-TAN since I live at Bella Terra. My oh my what a gem they have unlimited level one tanning for $25 a month. I had previously been ripped off by a company in LA called tanman so I was cautious signing any type of contract. I read it and cancellations can be made whenever. The beds are nice and clean and the staff is super friendly. I also like that they have constant deals going on so if I do decide to try a different bed or get a spray I can be sure to get a bargain. read more

Really trying to like this place. Last few spray tans I've gotten, really not satisfied with the results. At all. Just not very "dark"..- for what you're paying, it's kinda rediculous. Not to mention the customer service is the worst (other than the convenience it's near my house I'd never come here)- the girl (blonde) never explains what the hell is going on. Levels, scents, etc. Super snotty & unfriendly. So basically feel like I'm getting ripped off. Where is the owner????? Just disappointed. My baby shower is Saturday, trying to do all I can to make myself feel fabulous, and yea, this place is definitely not really helping in this department. Hire some new staff! Who is actually looking to help you achieve what you need!!!! It's customer service after all. read more

This is a great place for after hours sun:) Great beds with new lamps so that you get the full effect of your tanning experience. I have been to other Tanning Salons and U Ca Tan is the best by far!!!! I just wish the hours were extended longer. read more

New to the whole tanning scene soI had to try out a few different salons before I found the one I felt was up to par with my needs. U-CA-TAN is clean and their friendly, usually the wait is only a few minutes and their monthly membership is cheap compared to the cost of single tans, only way to go. read more

I've been going to another tanning Salon for a few years but they close down about a year ago so I decided to try U CA TAN. I am so sorry that I was using the other place!! U CA TAN is great! All the girls are knowledgable and very sweet. Danielle yhe manager is so down go earth and friendly. Even if I come racing in 5 min. before closing they always let me tan. They have a great variety of lotions to buy and if you buy one you don't like they give you no hassle exchanging it for another one. I can't say anything bad about this place. I LOVE IT!! read more

I recommend the Mystic Tan HD. It gives a look almost as if you were professionally airbrushed, nice deep color, and lasted the longest if any other mystic tan or Versa Spa I've had. Worth the upgrade! Nice staff, up to date salon. The Sunday specials definitely put this at the top of my list! read more

Been coming here all summer. The girls are very sweet and the beds get you tan. I just started the red light so I'll review that after Ive tried it out a few more times. read more

After recently moving to the area I was looking for a great tanning salon. I tried a couple in the area and wasn't impressed either by the customer service, enthusiasm and overall bed selections. Pretty much all they had were "throw back beds" from 10 years ago. So I walked into UCA Tan and right away I was impressed. The girl managing the front was receptive, awake and when I said I was a newbie- she instantly said let me give you a tour. They have one old school bed, red light therapy beds, sauna, spray tan booths, stand-ups, level 3's and swanky level 4's. Not to mention they have a new bed that is only a year old that is top of the line. Everything was new like, clean and modern. A lot of tanning salons are stuck in the 90's but this tanning salon is legit. I was also impressed that they are open until 9pm! Works out great for those nights you work late or need a last minute spray for a night out on the town. I would highly recommend this salon! Reasonable prices for a great value! read more

Been a long time customer of U-Ca-Tan until they remodeled the salon. My wife and I always had no problems tanning with their low pressure beds and then they took all but one out and didn't give us a notice. The girl at the front desk acted like she could care less and proceeded to help another customer. She wanted us to upgrade to the next beds without compensating or warning us. Talked to Danielle the manager but to no avail did not help us. We are now at our New tanning salon HB Tan and loving it. Very Disappointed U-Ca-Tan. read more

Love getting my tan and spray tan from this location! Katie, the blonde associate, is always so helpful and kind! She has gotten me a better tan by explaining what product to use and switch up, so I get the best results and a longer lasting tan. I have been a customer here for a long time and will continue he my business! read more

I came here for a month in preparation for a summer vacation. The service was good and the beds were great. I enjoyed the music option. I always came in without an appointment and never had to wait. read more

I just recently signed up for a membership here and I thought I could give some feedback. I am currently a olive skin ton which isn't necessarily the darkest I like to be so I walked in ready to sign up for a membership. Being that this was my first time tanning and I would be spending a lot of money I had several questions. When I first came in I noticed there was no one at the front, so I waited until finally a girl got to the register. I didn't get her name but she was a small asian girl. I started asking her questions about the different tanning beds, pricing, and what expectations I should have for each bed(wanted to know how tan I get from each bed). I noticed that she wasn't really excited about having a client walk in with many questions, she even made a comment to me about how most people don't ask her so much stuff. While I'm not upset that she didn't have much knowledge about the different tanning beds, I didn't really like how she seemed annoyed and gave attitude with each question I asked. If I can rate this place just based of customer service I would give it a one star. I could tell that this girl didn't like her job, didn't have customer service skills, didn't have knowledge on tanning, and wasn't friendly. Now for the actual tanning experience.I liked it! I used the Luxor bed for 12 minutes and with my first session I already noticed a difference. I liked how they give you protection for your eyes( I thought they would charge for that), they had music playing as you tan, and the room was spacious as well as the bed. I would say that this place is expensive but I honestly think no matter where I go to tan I'm going to be spending a lot of money. I guess its worth it if you really like being tan, which I do prefer. If they can hire more customer friendly staff I think would give it more of a three to four star experience. Maybe next time I come in there will be a nicer staff member. read more
