Erika was amazing to work with. Booking an appointment was easy, her location is great and she has a full bowl of pink Starburst! Her brow work is wonderful and very meticulous. I missed my clean brows and she listened to my every request. I also got a spray tan from her and had MANY compliments on how well it was done! It lasted me well over a week with daily lotion maintenance and I had that perfect glow. Her pricing is fair and she is really lovely to work with. I'll be recommending her to all my friends! read more

Oh and skincare.... if you want to reverse the signs of aging get the plump medical grade!

I've been going to Erika for about 10 years to get my eyebrows waxed. I even drove from SJ because nobody compares to her! She is the best!

Erika is a true artist! She started doing my brows years ago and then I moved to SoCal. I moved back to the Bay Area some time ago but haven't been close enough for her to do my brows. Seeing the impact of COVID on small business owners has been heartbreaking. When she was able to reopen to do brows outdoors I jumped at the opportunity to see her and get my brows done. When I arrived, everything was in order and it was clear she was taking all the necessary safety precautions. She had my brows done and looking fab in no time. Plus, she's got awesome retail like Baby Feet, jewelry and candles - how can you go wrong? You can't! If your brows look like you've been in a cave since March (mine did) let Erika do her magic and you'll look like a new woman! read more

Ericka is the best! This was my first time getting a spray tan and now I'm addicted! Ericka is very professional. She made suggestions on what level tan I should get for my skin tone. I went with Lava for my wedding day in Maui. read more

Dermal Essentials - Spray Tanning Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

See all

I went in for my first spray tan experience and it was quick and amazing. Sarah was super helpful, nice, and professional. Got to the place around 950 and left by 1010. Its super quick, super easy and Sarah does a good job of educating you on how to keep your tan as long as possible. The best part was how non judgmental she was. I dont exactly have a beach body, but Sarah made me very comfortable, even to do a full body tan. I was a little nervous going in, thinking that I might not be one of her best body looking customers, but she was very professional and non judgmental. Shes very personal in a good way, and I highly recommend anyone who's interested in spray tanning to give her a try. Also, few days later, my tan looks amazing. I did the spray tan to cover up some ugly tan lines that developed this summer, and Sarah did an amazing job at blending them in. The tan is even and definitely NO ORANGE anywhere. Cant thank you enough Sarah! read more

I had a really great waxing experience with Erika as my own esthetician of over 10yrs moved out of state. I was really nervous to see someone else but could not wait any longer and had to just bite the bullet. I received a quick, efficient, thorough, painless brow and brazilian wax. I've already booked my next appt!! So happy I found her :) read more

I could seriously go on and on about how amazing Dermal Essentials and Erika are!!! My mom has gone to Erika to get waxed for the last 18 years, and now I've been going to her for the past 8 years!! You seriously can't find a more kind, hardworking, and talented person!! I drive out to Walnut Creek from San Francisco just for Erika. There's a reason why she has so many long term clients -- she is the very best!! read more

Erika is the very best in the business! I've been going to her for years including at her SF and San Rafael locations and there's no one better! Best brows I've ever had! And she's a master waxer! read more

Erika does an AMAZING job with making you feel at home the second you arrive, a very clean home, that is! I normally get my eyebrows waxed and dyed as well as Brazilians. I absolutely love the way my brows look every time and love the results for all of my treatments! She is quick, professional, and makes you feel like a queen when you walk out of there! read more

Erika is so talented with brows and waxing. I feel better after each appointment as she always does a such great job - I get compliments all the time on my brows! She is the best!! read more

I love Erica. I have been seeing her since the day before my wedding and she fixed my eyebrows another lady messed up. I have been seeing her regularly now for 5 years. She is number 1 when it comes to getting even perfect eyebrows even if they were butchered by someone else. If you have an ok or bad place or no regular place to do your eyebrows, see Erica. You will never want to see anyone else. She is also passionate about what she does and I consider her a friend. Highly recommend her! She has 2 office locations, in SF and WC. Service is more that you can ask for and prices are reasonable too. Thank you, Erica! read more

Best spray tan ever!! I have now gotten 2 spray tans with Erika and both times were amazing! The color was the perfect shade of tan, never orange! I got sooo many compliments! Also the tan lasted longer then any other tan I had. Not to mention the new re model is sooo pretty! Love this place for my waxing and tanning needs read more

I saw Sarah for a custom spray tan and was so happy I did! It was pretty fast and the results were great. She was really great explaining the whole process and making me feel comfortable. I will totally be going back. read more

If you need a Brazilian wax or any other kind of waxing come to Alexa!! She's so sweet and made me feel comfortable for a service that I'm always shy to do lol. She uses a wax that hurts less than when I've been to the European wax center. It's a cute place...I highly recommend it. read more

LOVE this place. I was looking for a place to get facials for my acne and I found this business on yelp and saw that it received an award for being the best in the bay area. I've been coming here every month since May and I don't regret it one bit. Sarah does a great job with my facials and Alexa does a great job with my brows. My skin has improved so much and my brows are always perfect now. Sarah and Alexa are both great at listening to your concerns and requests. They are so sweet and welcoming and caring and I absolutely trust them. Best customer service I've ever received from any business! Very very very highly recommend this business! read more

Moved here from the East Coast and needed to find a place that carried my skincare products. They team at Dermal Essentials was so fast to respond and great about setting aside my products. Fantastic customer service, will be going back! :) read more

I love Dermal Essentials and have been going to Erika for eyebrow and bikini waxing at her San Francisco shop since she opened it, so for about eight years if I had to guess. I swore I'd never go anywhere else, so when we decided to move to the East Bay, I was thrilled to learn that Erika was opening a new shop in Walnut Creek, perfect! She is extremely skilled at waxing and I completely trust her with my brows. Plus, she is super nice and friendly and the shop is just adorable. Sarah who works there too does spray tans and they are located in the heart of downtown Walnut Creek so it's super convenient! read more

I've been to Sara twice for spray tans. She is friendly, professional, and does a great job. She always makes me feel comfortable (hard to do when I'm standing in my underwear)! I will definitely continue going to Sara for any future spray tans! read more

I came to see Alexa today so she could clean up and wax my eyebrows. She was super nice and took me in way before my appointment. I will def be coming back every month. Thank you!!!! read more

Alexa always make sure I leave looking fabulous! The only one I trust to do my eyebrows!

Alexa is THEEE ONE to get waxed by. I have been getting waxed by Alexa for years and continue to go to her. She is patient, kind, and knows what she is doing. She is available for appointments and is sweet to talk to . The location is clean and in a safe area.. don't forget to park in the parking garage, it's free if you are there for less than an hour I think.. Alexa will get you in and out in a super fast time. Make your appointment ASAP , she knows what she's doing!! read more

I have to write this review because Sarah was just too amazing not to. I received a spray tan today for the first time in 11 years. I was a bit nervous because my last spray tan didn't turn out so well. Sarah did an excellent job of being professional, kind and informative and making sure I was comfortable. I felt at ease from start to finish and was in and out in 20 minutes. My tan looks great and I'm excited to see how it wears over the next coupled days. Do yourself a favor and go see Sarah for an awesome spray tan! read more

This place is the best! The location is so convenient in downtown Walnut Creek off of North Main. The shop is so cute and clean and Erika the owner is hands down the best waxer you will find! You can also get awesome spray tans and facials from Sarah- I tried the organic facial and loved it! I am also obsessed with the candles and lotions they sell. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

I have suffered from fair dry skin my entire life. I had only had 2 facials before I went to Sarah. I have had 4 facials from Sarah & I am liking my skin so much better. I even get compliments on it! The products are affordable & better than any I have ever tried. Loving the tinted sunscreen, I don't wear foundation any more. It is in a very private, charming space. Treat yourself! read more

Sarah does absolutely flawless tans! I've been getting spray tans for years and years and this one is by far the best. It doesn't smell bad, she does it very quickly and explains everything thoroughly, it didn't stain any of my clothes, I had no elbow/knee/finger/wrist splotches, it lasted for a week and a few days and it faded collectively (not just in some spots). The only thing I would recommend is to make sure you moisturize a lot to keep it longer. I definitely will go back and I wish she was closer to Oakland! read more

Sarah at dermal essentials is probably the best salon professional I have ever been to. I've only been to her for a tan (multiple times) and she is accommodating, respectful, and knows what she is doing. My tan is flawless everytime because she double checks everything, and makes sure to educate you on proper skin care pre and post tan. I've also been one of those customers who comes to her panicked, in need of a tan for a spontaneous event...and no matter what, she always comes through and makes it work. I'm so happy I found her! She deserves every star :) read more

First time every have a spray tan done; Sarah was great, comforted me, and was really fast! I am definitely coming back!

The east bay just got lucky! Erika has brought her amazing shop to Walnut Creek, carrying over from Marin and SF success. Dermal Essentials is the only place I will go for my bikini and brow waxing. As I've said before in another DE review, I used to get brazillians from a Brazillian woman and Erika's work is the most thorough and hygienic I've ever experienced. The shop is as cute and inviting as it is clean and spotless. Make an appointment and you'll probably never go anywhere else! read more

Love love love this place! My friend and I got spray tans from Sarah for St. Patty's day and are so happy with the results! The solution is organic so it doesn't have any fake orange tint. It only took fifteen minutes and Sarah is super sweet. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Alexa is one of the nicest, friendliest, sweetest, and prettiest people ever! I always feel welcomed when I'm here. I recommend going to her for waxing. All the workers have a discount card which is helpful if you are regular. She's the only person i trust to wax me. read more
