Everyone was incredible and helped me figure out what shade I was looking for and gave me all kinds of amazing tips to help make sure I looked incredible. Literally the only place I will go for a spray tan.

I want to preface this by saying this was my first spray tan ever so I was very nervous and had…read morelots of questions going into it. Charity was extremely kind and answered all my questions -- she also made me feel extremely comfortable considering how little clothing is involved. She helped me decide on a shade and made pleasant conversation during the process. As a first timer, I was surprised how quickly the session was. In and out the door within 20 minutes. I paid extra for the rapid dry and I'm glad I did as I was able to shower before bed which was nice. The salon is clean and cozy, the price considering my add ons (I also did the hydration spray) seemed reasonable, and the shade is beautiful and very natural looking. The only thing I wish were different is the creases I have on my wrists and marks on my heels. She did apply a drying powder and wiped my hands and feet with wet wipes, but those areas look a bit streaky. Overall though, I've gotten several compliments on how natural it looks and I'm glad that I went! I'll be back.

I love the medical grade red light, hybrid tanning bed, and the versa spray. My bf loves the sauna, cold plunge, and everything actually. The salt room is really cool too. Street parking is easy peasy during the week and on weekends when it's a little busier, there's a parking lot directly behind the shop that is super convenient.

This is a darling day spa in the heart of downtown Carlsbad. When I first walked by I didn't know…read morethey did skincare & waxing; I thought it was just a cute boutique...when some coworkers surprised me with a gift card, I was so excited! I booked a bikini wax and did not state a preference for the technician. Riley ended up doing my Brazilian and she was excellent! She talked to me throughout to distract me from the pain, but honestly it was not that painful. I was surprised that my skin was not super red afterward. She offered me a rosewater wipe to use prior the waxing and the treatment room was clean. She did a thorough job and used an oil by the brand Fur to finish, and I decided to purchase the travel rollerball, which totally helped eliminate any ingrown hairs or red bumps that were trying to come out. I kept using the rollerball for weeks after, and no ingrowns! I shopped around the boutique after my treatment and was astounded at the reasonable prices on the super cute clothes, jewelry, and other accessories and fun things in the shop. I left with a dress, a couple cute tops, a bracelet and earrings by Scout (love that brand), and a travel candle, plus the Fur rollerball. I believe the Brazilian bikini wax was $65, and I left a nice tip and walked away with fun new stuff without spending a ton over my gift card amount of $115. Side note--the toilet would not flush when I used their restroom, and let them know, so they shut it down for customer use while I was there. I think it's an older building and perhaps sensitive plumbing. This did not affect my experience in any way. Overall I recommend Riley and this awesome little boutique if you live near the Carlsbad area or are visiting!

One time, I decided to try somewhere else, and I was extremely disappointed. I immediately thought, "Why did I try to fix what wasn't broken?" From now on, Bare Organics is the only place I trust for my spray tans. The color is always beautiful and natural-looking, and they offer different shade options based on your skin tone and personal preferences. Best of all, their tans last longer than any others I've tried--typically about a week. The team is always polite, friendly, and professional. The owner, Alex, is an absolute sweetheart who genuinely wants the best for her customers. I'm so grateful to have Bare Organics in my hometown! This business single handling makes me feel like the best version of myself and gives me so much confidence! I can't recommend them enough!! I absolutely love them!!

Getting your first spray tan before your wedding is nerve wracking but Bare Organic Tan made the…read morewhole experience SO pleasant! I worked with Alex, the owner, throughout the process and she was the best - from helping me schedule my trial run and my wedding day tan, timing both sessions so that the trial tan would fade and blend perfectly into my wedding day tan, and ultimately helping me achieve the most perfect tan on my wedding day! Alex is so helpful, experienced, and also the sweetest person ever! It is apparent she loves what she does and is passionate about helping her customers achieve their perfect tan. They are located in the Del Mar Flower Hill Promenade plaza. I didn't have any issues finding parking both times. I made appointments ahead of time and they were easy to work with on scheduling based on my availability and when I would be able to shower, etc. I loved every interaction I had with Alex and obviously my wedding tan. Not only did it look amazing on the actual wedding day, it faded really well and continued to look great for the following days. I will absolutely be coming here every time I need some color and I can't wait to be back!
