Right after I put my 30 day notice in, I went to get a tan and they told me they had a package for level 5 available I could purchase which was not part of my membership. I bought it and saved it for when my membership was over and when I came to use it they let me know that I could not use it because I don't have a membership, which was specifically what I had asked them when I bought the package. I basically got robbed. I also purchased lotion and it was almost 2 years expired. I immediately realize it because the texture was disgusting. Lastly, do not take the advice of the folks working there on how you should properly tan. Be sure to do your own research because the people working there are young ladies who have not been properly trained. I promise you if you go in five different times and ask how you should get what you're trying to achieve you will get five different answers.

My goal was to spray tan . After they charged my credit card they told me their spray tan machine doesn't work. It's now been two weeks. Each time I call they refer me to Livermore. Amber and Valerie are amazing !!!! I called and explained the situation. Given my schedule and traffic I wasn't able to make it to their location until almost 9pm. I got my spray tan and they recommended another bed prior. They gave me a sample of the "primer" before the spray tan because they wanted to make sure my spray tan developed quickly. This location is out of my way, and inconvenient but the staff is amazing . It's also bigger than San Ramon and they have more beds. The employees seem ethical , honest and didn't mind that I was there at 9pm. Thank you Valerie and Amber !!!!

Brittany was professional, welcoming, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. The results were amazing! You can tell she uses high-quality products because the color looked so natural and even.

The tan gave me the perfect glow and made me feel so much more confident wearing my bathing suit on vacation. I couldn't have been happier with the results. Brittany is incredibly talented, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a beautiful, natural-looking spray tan!

She was incredibly sweet, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. She took the time to explain the entire process, how to prepare beforehand, and exactly what to expect afterward. I really appreciated how thorough she was--it made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. Communication was excellent from start to finish. She sent helpful preparation and aftercare texts, and when I thought I might need to change my appointment on fairly short notice, she was so responsive and accommodating. If you're new to spray tanning (or, like me, haven't had one in a long time), I can't recommend her enough. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable and informed. I'll definitely be back!

But that's not saying much, well, actually it's saying a lot because I've been to those places yet I choose to tan here.

They change bulbs frequently and know a lot beyond the differences between UV's... although I've been to some salons that can't even say that much for themselves. Whether you're just looking for a tan and have never had one before, or are here on vacation looking for something that can stand in - no pun intended- for your local resources, you can't go wrong here.

I have been a member of Utopia for years, and each experience is better than the previous. The girls at the front desk are always so sweet to me, most who have learned my name and make me feel very welcome when I come in, and never have any issues. Any question i may have about mixing up my tanning routine or have limited time they are always so helpful and knowledgeable on what bed to use for each day. On the other hand when choosing new lotions they don't just throw the most expensive at me, yet explain the pros and cons of each one and why some are more expensive than others. In addition the bathrooms are always well kept with candles and soap. I love coming here and feeling bubbly walking in and tan walking out always with a "have a good day" of some sort from all the front desk ladies. I have also convinced my mom to start coming here for spray tans and she loves it and says the women are so helpful in teaching her step by step what to do. Overall this is my favorite tanning salon ever and I plan to go forever. read more

Came here to get a facial a while ago the girl who did it was very sweet and the facial was relaxing. So why give this place 2 stars?? Well it's hard to be relaxed when the "spa room" is right next to the mystic machine, which is very loud when in use and as this being a "TANNING salon" it's in use ALL DAY!!! And when the mystic machine isn't going off there is screaming baby's.When I get out of my facial the women who owns the baby turns out to be the owner!! Not once did she take the kid outside to be thoughtful for the people getting a service instead she just laughs it off saying how grumpy the baby was, that to me was totally unprofessional to say the least, sadly the facialist tip went down because of the business' loud atmosphere! Tip to the owner ditch the "spa" side of the business if you can't keep it quiet! read more

I was not a big tanner and didn't know where the good places to tan were. I didn't want to tan at a place that was dirty! I had heard that Utopia was the best place in town from a friend so I went to check it out. I absolutely love it there! It is so clean and all of the employees are super nice. I had never done mystic before and was really nervous to do it because you always here about people turning orange. I did the mystic at Utopia and it was amazing! it was perfectly even and gave me such a natural looking tan! I am so glad that I have finally found a place that is CLEAN, NICE, and know i am going to get the best results!! Plus they always have great specials every month that you can't beat! Go tan at Utopia and you won't be sorry!! read more

I don't know what some of the people below are talking about. Utopia is a fabulous place, one of the nicer, fancier and cleaner tanning salons I've experienced. They have top of the line equipment and all brand new beds. Being 6'7 the stand up bed is the only one I can fit in and I love it. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the beds and place is clean and vibrant and I love coming here. The incredible thing is that they are much more then just a tanning salon. They offer massage, facials, waxing, hair extensions and much more. Not to mention an incredible collagen red light therapy that can't be found anywhere else. Utopia is a top notch place full of greatness and I highly recommend it for everyone. read more

I love Utopia tanning. It is by far the cleanest, most organized and friendliest place to tan, mystic, or get a facial. My 1st visit was over 2 years ago, and I have yet to have a bad experience there or felt the need to complain about any aspect of the business. The girls at the front office do a wonderful job answering questions about the different packages that are available, which lotions are best suited to my skin tone, and how many visits are typically needed for the desired color I'm looking to achieve. I have been to a few other tanning salons over the years and none of them can hold a candle to Utopia! read more

Utopia is by far the BEST tanning salon and also the best spa in the bay area. Before I went to Utopia I went to GLO and I looked orange and streaky, their mystic was horrible but Utopia's is awesome! I always have a perfect tan from the mystic and I am never disappointed. The owner and all the workers there are by far the nicest and most accommodating! Highly recommend Utopia to all, if you want a great tan with nice, friendly people go to Utopia you will not be disappointed. Utopia also has multiple packages to fit your budget and they offer student discounts! read more

I usually buy a monthly student package, which is really affordable and although sometimes it can get a little backed up and there can be a wait, I'm pretty happy with this place and extra points for being close to my house. It can be annoying that the front desk can sometimes be a little unorganized and the girls working there are some times no where to be found or too busy texting/talking on there phones, but I guess you get what you pay for, right? Not a bad place to get and keep up an affordable tan. Haven't tried the other services they offer here. read more

Great tanning bed options and pricing packages. And they change their tanning bed bulbs all the time, which you don't see very much. Best of all, the staff is fantastic.
