The first time I went to a sugared and bronzed was in LA. I had gotten a lot of spray tans and announced this one was the best I'd ever had. It was super exciting for them to expand to nyc. I get two light coats and have never had a bad experience. If you want a spray tan, this is the spot. read more

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING and honestly upsetting experience. My little sister ran to her appointment and arrived flushed and a little sweaty, and the technician -- I believe her name was B -- proceeded to wax half the area before suddenly stopping and telling her that she was "too sweaty" to continue and that she would need to wait 40 MINS + an additional hour if the next client showed up. For context, my sister has been getting waxed regularly for over eight years. She is athletic, healthy, and this has never happened to her before. She was not dripping in sweat or experiencing anything extreme -- she had simply rushed to make the appointment and was flushed. None of that should even matter in terms of how respectfully a client is treated, but it made the reaction feel even more disproportionate. The technician told her she would need to wait 40 minutes or longer before they could continue, in part because another client was coming in. That is where this started to feel less like a legitimate waxing concern and more like a scheduling issue that my sister was being blamed for. I could completely understand saying, "Let's give you a few minutes to cool down so the wax adheres better." But stopping halfway through a service and telling someone to wait 40+ minutes is a very different situation. I have also been getting waxed for around 10 years, including throughout hot and humid New York summers, and I have never experienced or even heard of someone being treated this way simply for being a little sweaty. Beyond the explanation making very little sense, telling a client she is "too sweaty" in that manner is incredibly rude and inappropriate. There are professional, discreet ways to address moisture without making someone feel embarrassed or ashamed of their body. The fact that half the service had already been completed before this suddenly became an issue also made me seriously question the technician's judgment and experience. If it was genuinely unsafe to wax her, why was the service started in the first place? This is also a waxing salon with fans and powder available to help keep the skin dry. What made the situation even worse was what happened afterward. My sister called me on FaceTime while she was there and was literally in tears trying to advocate for herself and explain that the situation had made her uncomfortable. When my other younger sister later called the salon for more information, the woman at the front desk described my sister as "aggressive" and said she had made the staff uncomfortable. Well let me tell you, I'm the oldest sister and our youngest sister doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. It made me so sad to see her shakily defending herself. She was upset, embarrassed, and trying to stand up for herself while crying -- not behaving aggressively. All the receptionist had to do was apologize! Getting defensive with emotional clients is never the answer. If you are the owner please review the call as they are all recorded. My sister also told me that after the waxing specialist left the room, she overheard waxers giggling nearby. I cannot say whether they were laughing about her, and I won't pretend to know that. But in that moment, after she had already been made to feel embarrassed and vulnerable, hearing staff giggling only made her feel even more humiliated. Timing, discretion, and basic emotional awareness matter enormously in intimate services like waxing. At the end of the day, this felt like an inexperienced waxer and a scheduling problem being turned into my sister's fault, while her feelings were completely dismissed. A client should never leave a waxing appointment feeling ashamed of a normal bodily response, humiliated, and then be labeled "aggressive" simply for saying she felt uncomfortable. Stopping a service halfway through, giving a questionable explanation, making the client feel embarrassed, and then dismissing her reaction afterward is unacceptable. I would not recommend this location based on how this was handled. SHAME ON YOU ALL YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. MEANGIRL ACTIVITIES AT THIS LOCATION!!!! also not this is not the first time ive heard of other issues at this location. DO NOT LET THE FOUR STARS FOOL YOU. TERRIBLE STAFF HERE. read more

I wish I had a better experience, but this was honestly one of the worst spray tans I've ever received. Instead of a natural bronze glow, my tan developed into a horrible green tint and looked disgusting. I was embarrassed to even leave my hotel room. It was so bad that I ended up having the Four Seasons Spa scrub it off during my massage because of how bad it looked. I have never had to remove a spray tan immediately after getting one. I have had plenty of spray tans over the years, so I understand they can vary, but this was on a whole other level. I genuinely never felt or looked worse after a beauty appointment. Massive thumbs down. I will not be returning! read more

Hands down the best tan I've ever gotten and I've been doing spray tans for 20 years. The salon is nice and cool so you don't come out sweating you don't go in sweating and the technician is extremely agile and efficient at what she does. She knows what she's doing. Instructions are clear and the solution clearly works really well because I just showered after seven hours and it's perfect, but you can shower sooner, which is even better in some cases. I could not be happier! I'll be going back every other week ! read more

The sugaring person was so kind and the process was not painful and I looked gorgeous after! I've been bronzed as well and these technicians know how to give the perfect shade and it lasts a long time! I love this place! read more

First time ever getting a spray tan and while I am not sure if spray tans are my thing, I absolutely loved the experience! All the staff was super nice, they made sure to be thorough and walked me through everything I needed, made me feel very comfortable and overall I was very happy with the whole thing read more

I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience! the women that work here are so sweet, attentive and efficient. they always do a great job all around! read more

The biggest scam of a business - they will take all of your money, not honor your membership and close the business before business hours and cancel your appointment the day of appointment for your wedding without any notice. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Britteny was great!! I've done Brazilian waxing before, but never sugaring. It definitely feels different than waxing, the each pull hurts less but there's more of them than the woman who normally waxes me uses. So pain levels I'd say are about the same but I did feel less sensitive/sore after. The rooms/booths feel a bit medical office-y but still a cute vibe at the place and the front office staff was great. Definitely would go back. read more

Caitlyn was so nice and knowledgeable !!! Always the best place to get sprayed before an event ... or just for fun ;)

Tiana is incredible!! I always feel so at ease when I know she's taking care of me and she always does the best job. Couldn't ask for better! read more

Went in for my spray tan today ‍ it's tanned pretty good except on the inside of my calves you can tell where the tan ends . The girl that did my tan was very informative and nice except it felt like she was feeling a type of way when l was trying to tell her where l needed the tan the most . This makes my third time attending . The first girl that took me on my first day was a sweetheart and very patient with me , l don't know her name but l wish l could get her to do my tan again . read more

SUGARED + BRONZED - Sugar and Bronzed Airs-pray tan - Hair Removal Near Me - New York, New York

Beautician was fast, skillful, and lovely overall! Place was clean and also close to many good restaurants.

I had a great experience! I can't remember my waxer's name, but she was very accommodating in allowing me get my spray tan after my Brazilian which was so kind and helpful! I had Amaya for my first spray tan ever and she was great as well. She was kind and reassuring as I had a lot of questions. 10/10 recommend and I now have a membership :) read more

I've been going to Sugared and Bronzed for years, and I feel perpetually lucky to have access to a reasonably priced and accessible (location and availability wise) sugaring business. Clean, great quality, speedy, I'm never kept waiting, can count on genial conversation while I get it over with, all major plus-es for me. As for sugaring itself, I don't think it hurts less than waxing, but it's definitely better for my skin and results in less ingrowns. It's gonna hurt folks, that's just - the deal. Highly recommend! read more

Recently reinstated my S&B membership with summer on the horizon, couldn't be more happy with the results. I used to go to a regular waxer and always dealt with ingrown hairs, irritation, you name it. I thought it was because I had sensitive skin, but after visiting Sugared and Bronzed it's clear I was going to the wrong place beforehand. I absolutely love the services at S&B and I can never go back to regular waxing. The facilities are always clean, front of house is consistently nice and helpful, and I can't speak more highly of their sugaring team--they are all truly so sweet read more

I went for the first time last month to get my FIRST Brazilian sugaring and a spray tan! Customer service is phenomenal and I quickly purchased a membership! The Brazilian sugaring lasted so long that today I decided to try full leg - again, experience 10/10! I will say that I am actually GLAD that they add a gratuity to the device (although you can amend upon checkout) because every single time I am there the girls working go above and beyond! Membership is 100% worth it!! read more

Service was good and relatively pain manageable. Clean space. Convenient location. However, they were a bit shifty about charging me. They wanted 18% tip which was fine, but I later discovered it was over 22% of the original price. This is fine to tip off the original price, however I really felt manipulated and pressured. Just pay your employees a livable wage or don't make that process make me feel yucky after. read more

S+B is a total rip off! I have been a member for a few years & was very happy with the membership until the policy change recently. I have been trying to absorb my credits accumulated in order to close my account since e I am going through a financial hardship. Before the new policy, I was able to freeze my account to avoid being charged the membership fee, & then unfreeze it to pay for service then refreeze it again. However, I did this yesterday & unfortunately received an error message that I now have to keep the account active for a month after unfreezing AND was charged $51.21 for the membership fee! What a SCAM & I am LIVID! I have now totally cancelled out of the membership & have a credit for $98 in which the service I get has increased from $49 to $69 so I will lose even more money. This is sad. Very unsatisfied customer read more

Went here yesterday for a tan. Pricing is really reasonable and first-timers get a second free. The experience was totally seamless; I had a 3 o'clock appointment and didn't have to wait at all to be tanned. Check-in was smooth and all I needed to do was sign a waiver on an iPad. The girl who tanned me was super nice and really professional. I had only done booths before for spray tans and so the experience can be a little awkward having someone do it manually - would definitely issue a warning to anyone that isn't extremely comfortable being stark naked in front of a stranger. They have thongs, flip flops, shower caps, and hair ties available for purchase. I opted for the express tan because I wanted to shower the same night. I was told that I should let it develop between 1-4 hours and the longer I let it go, the darker I would be. I wanted to be pretty dark so waited the full time. It looked pretty splotchy and weird before I showered so I was a little worried that's how it would look, but all of the extra color washed off. The end result is even and natural. My only complaint is that it's not as dark as I wanted it to be; in fact, I don't even really look "tan", just a little less of the winter pale that I was beforehand. The express was $60 plus tax, but again, you get a second one free that never expires. Ultimately I think the pricing is great for NYC, compared to most other establishments that do airbrush tanning for $80+. read more

Staff was friendly and welcoming! The salon is cute and inviting. They're playing great music while you're doing your service which makes it more relaxing and less awkward. My girl was very thorough yet quick with the process. Go get sugared! read more

staff was very friendly but got home and turned totally green like an alien. they told me to trust the process but from my experience this is due to expired product or product that has been in the heat too long. it also indicated that product has heavy metals and is not organic. very disappointing. read more

Great, thorough, kind, and patient - Tiana is awesome! Ended up getting the monthly membership for tanning - good savings and the short turn around time before you can shower is such a perk! Spray tans normally last about a week and always get compliments on the natural look. read more

Great service, staff was excellent. Would prefer if they also offered trimming and some pre and post sugaring care options. But even without that, my skin responds way better sugaring than waxing. read more

The best. Get the membership - worth it!!!!! So efficient and kind. Sugaring and tanning is elite and all the gals are lovely.

I have always been a tanning bed girl! I know I know! but my first experience at s+b was incredible! The staff was so kind and helpful! they were very thorough with their explanations. the person who sprayed me made me feel comfortable and at ease! honestly it was such a good experience I bought a monthly package! read more

I spray tan here regularly & I love the convenience of booking online-- it is so easy. I always end up looking very natural, not orange or streaky. Most of the technicians are very knowledgeable & sweet. They all seem to work super hard. I hope you open a location downtown Manhattan soon! read more

Never in my 27 years of life had I considered a spray tan, mostly because of the Jersey Shore affiliation. But after committing to a crash diet to make myself look skinty before a trip to Puerto Rico, I booked an appointment at S+B to maximize the skinti-ness. From beginning to end, it was a great experience. I booked an appointment and got the 2-for-1 for $59. I went with the second level tan, which is the equivalent of a weekend on the beach. As a spray tan virgin, a couple things to keep in mind: - seems obvious, but bring the bathing suit/underwear you want to have as your tan line. It'll leave temporary stains that come out in the wash. - you can purchase flip flops, underwear, etc. if you forget. - you will look MUCH darker than your desired color right after you get your tan. Like Jersey dark. - you should shower a couple hours after, and the dark color will stream off you. - you will still come out of the shower looking beautiful and naturally bronze. - expect to leave a 15-20% tip for the person who does your spray tan The young lady who did my spray, Jade, was super friendly and left a great impression. I'll definitely be back for my second session before an upcoming wedding. read more

This was my first time getting sugared at this location. I usually go to Sugaring NYC, however after my experience today I will definitely be a regular here! The rooms are super clean and even though they are small, they are cutely decorated. I was seen 10 minutes before my scheduled time. I was happy that I was early and that they were able to get me in right away. The woman who did my sugaring was super sweet, easy to talk to, and great with informing me about the process. They also put tea tree oil on the area sugared after the treatment which was soothing and a nice addition. I really loved my experience here and will definitely be back. SIDE NOTE: They are cash only! read more

I had a great experience here with the staff and service, especially Deshanae who assisted me during my appointment.

I have a membership here and have come a total of 3 times now. Each time I go my tan has turned out flawless. The staff is always super nice and educate you on when to rinse and how to make the tan last as long as possible. read more

very clean atmosphere and everything about the experience was smooth and on time. I'll definitely go back!

Super clean. Went for a brazilian. It was easy to make an appointment online. Pricing was fair. Tamara was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and so nice. And amazing at her sugaring. It hurt way less then other places I've gone. Will definitely be returning and will travel from Brooklyn to this location. read more

I have never gotten sugared or waxed before and I heard sugaring may be a better experience for first time. I'm glad I did because albeit painful, it was a great experience. Kayla was very friendly and helped me through it all. Quick and easy and I have no regrets! read more

Sugar + Bronzed= An amazing experience! I was born bronze so I can't speak about the tanning part but the sugaring is everything. I have tried every kind of waxing under the sun but the service and talent here are unmatched. The playlist was fun and relaxing. The women at the front desk were polite and helpful. The lady who did my sugaring made me feel so comfortable and explained everything I needed to know. I'll absolutely be back. read more

so amazing. These ladies are so thoughtful about what level of tan to get and so sensitive to the fact that I don't like being cold! Honestly dream experience. I am chaotic and don't trust myself to self tan so if you're like me, I would just go get sprayed here. It's great. read more

I always have a great experience at S+B. They're clean, fast & professional for both tans and sugaring. I usually have an easy time finding availability (though I do wish the website would show all available NYC location appointments together). My most recent experience I had a scheduling snafu and they were able to accommodate me right away and were super nice when I rushed over arriving 5 mins late which was super appreciated! read more

**Update*** By far the best customer service I have ever had. I was contacted by the owner almost immediately to apologize and rectify my issue. This establishment seems to be a thriving business so for the owner herself to reach out shows they really do care about customer satisfaction. I made a second appointment, this time I tried the standard tan #3. Thee technician that took care of me this so sweet all the women there are. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. The bronzer got really dark as the day progresses but once I washed it off after the 10 hours my perfectly applied tan appeared.Im very happy with the outcome and will be going back really wanted to love this place after all the amazing reviews. They are great in regards to scheduling I even had to reschedule at last minute and the staff was very accommodating. I arrived and was taken in for my express tan within 10 minutes. I don't remember the employee who did my spray tan but she was a sweetheart very professional and personable. I showered three hours after my tan as instructed. This morning I noticed once the color had set in there are many spots on my hands and legs are hat look discolored. I'm very pale naturally so the discoloration make the entire tan look unnatural. I am disappointed with an even tan this place would be so amazing but that was unfortunately not my experience. read more

I've been here twice and love my experience here both times! I've had the same sugarista and I believe her name is Amanda. I forgot, sorry! But she was great and friendly. Getting a wax in general hurts and it did not get any better for me ever since (maybe because I drink caffeine and always PMSing during those times) but totally worth it! It helps when the person waxing me would make small talk to keep my mind off things. Just remember to breathe. The rooms are clean and they definitely do not double dip! They give you privacy to strip off clothes and they provide a towel to cover the lady parts. The process is fast & efficient.. just breathe! I like their ingredients as well because they are natural (sugar, lemon, and water). The services I get here is a brazillian and my underarms. Totally worth it! The pain and all. I wait for a month to get a brazillian and maybe 2.5 -3 weeks for my underarms. The staff here is nice and the location is clean. Will definitely come back! read more

Today was my first time going to this location and I absolutely loved it. My sugarista Ashley was friendly, timely and made the whole experience smooth and painless. My skin does not feel irritated or sensitive at all. I'm definitely coming back! read more
