This has always been an excellent experience every time I go there. The tanning equipment is always clean and in excellent shape. The staff is always very helpful and professional. Check them out and you will be very pleased just like I have been for the last two years I have been a member. read more

I love coming here I want to give another 10 stars to the staff and the company it's self. The prices are the best here and the staff and the owner are very friendly and they all go above and beyond to explain how all the tanning bed works. The vide is super cool as well. I will definitely recommend my family and friends to come here. Thank you all for the great customer service. And the tanning beds are all amazing. read more

The equipment here and the knowledge of the equipment is amazing. All beds are top of the line and extremely effective. My favorite is the hybrid bed since you can set it for different skin tones and it also contains red light therapy. It also has air conditioning making it very comfortable. Have to mention the new medical grade LED red light therapy bed. This particular bed is life-changing. It helps immensely with chronic pain conditions, muscle recovery, wrinkle reduction, complexion enhancement, and promotes a sense of well-being, mood elevator, something you can't put a price on. CAN'T RECOMMEND ENOUGH !! Thanks Sun Works for improving my life !! read more

I am beyond beyond disappointed with Jack and his staff at this Tanning salon I've been going there for so long even though the tanning beds are sometimes dirty. The floors are dirty , overall not pleasant but I still went because I like how hot the beds are. I recently bought a month unlimited and wasn't able to go after six times because my skin is getting too dehydrated so I called Jack and asked him if he can transfer it to my daughter because I no longer am able to go And my daughter will just use my remaining month, He said no! That he will lose money that I already use six sessions and that she has to buy her own. Mind you I only went six times within the month and I have almost 2 1/2 weeks to go but he still wouldn't allow my daughter to take over what's left of the month. He's a con artist and he's a liar. I would never ever go there ever again nor would I ever refer anyone read more

One of the best tanning salons you can go to! I have been going here off and on for well over 15 years. Always friendly help and love the beds. And always clean. My old favorite was the ultra bronze but that was replaced by the sun-board which is still one of my favorites! They did get some gigantic new state of the art bed that you must try. This thing is awesome. Jack the owner has always been great, is super helpful, friendly and just a nice guy. Thank you and see you guys soon! read more

I've been coming to Sun Works for about a decade and I refuse to go anywhere else. The staff is very kind here and the owner Jack attains to all needs and concerns appropriately. I've always gotten warm welcomes when I enter and all my questions are answered with efficiency and detail. The owner and workers are well educated in all services down to the micro details not to mention competitive prices. I highly recommend this tanning salon read more

Wow! I've gone here several times and bought packages but last summer the owner tried to act like I didn't have any sessions left when I knew I had one because he gave me a bonus session when I bought a package. So he gave me the session. I came in a few days ago and paid for one session the girl at the front was great and I left. When I went in today, the owner again tried to scam me and said "oh you have a balance" to which I said what are you talking about I just tanned the other day and I always pay before I am allowed to tan. He came up with a story that someone before me went to the bathroom last time when I tanned in August of 2024 (almost a year ago) and the gave me the credit from that person so I owe money. I literally laughed and said what is my balance I'll pay and I won't be back. He said you don't have to pay you can just leave. Beware of this guy he will have you double paying and selling you packages and not giving you full credits. The girls that work the front are great but he is always trying to scam people out of their sessions or to pay for another session in addition. Don't trust him! read more

This is an excellent tanning salon! It may not look like much from the outside, but the inside is very clean and I have never had any kind of issues. Being in a "college area" some may think that it would not be as nice, and also given the fact that the pricing is so reasonable. Parking is easy and available. I am a veteran too many tanning salons in the area and also just around Los Angeles. This really is one of the best. It's simple, and there is rarely a wait, unless, on occasion for one of the high powered beds. The towels are always very clean, the trash cans are never full, and the floor is well swept. One of my favorite things about this tanning salon, is that the girls that work here always have such great attitudes. Gabby is the best! She is always so friendly, presents well, and just makes the tanning experience very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tanning salon for anyone in Pasadena or surrounding areas! You can also use your membership here to tan at the sun works in Glendale as well. read more

I didn't think I would love it this much but it was my first time here and I feel amazing I tried the matrix as other reviews suggested and it felt amazing I didn't catch the receptionist name but she helped me I let her know it was my first time here and she were super nice and she showed me the two top beds that are popular and explain the process and the differences if it's your first time getting a tan I will definitely recommend coming here and the pricing was reasonable love it I will keep coming back read more

My neighborhood location. Love the amazing staff of this location. Always friendly, and I love the Red Light/Hybrid bed. It's done wonders for my skin. I have a lot of eczema/psoriasis issues, and it has helped me tremendously. Definitely recommend this location. read more

Terrible service full of bs drove 25 miles to get my last tanning session since I bought my package in dec 2021 i showed up they telling me I don't have any more sessions left which I called this year to verify that I did have 1 left then worker pretends like he checking my stuff up saying my last package was bought 2020 idiots they can chow on my money horrible business read more

I've been to several tanning places, super cheap and expensive, and by far this is my favorite. Their prices vary at times so it's hard for me to give an exact amount since I always buy a package of 6, which literally cuts the price in half. My only criticism is that I've been coming to this place for over 3 years and I still have no idea who any of the girls are. There is always a new girl at the front desk so there is definitely a disconnect. My relationship with the girls is what they put on my profile in the computer. Nevertheless, the place is super clean. For the service and price they provide, I'm surprised that they're not busy. But I'm not complaining here because I can do walkins anytime and get to pick the machine I want, except for the Matrix, which I've never had to make an appointment for in the past until now. Closes at 9pm on the weekday and 6pm on the weekends. read more

Sun Works Tanning Pasadena - Entrance - Spray Tanning Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

not sure how this place has so many 5 star reviews. I did 12 minutes (actually I did 8 minutes and go out early.. stay tuned for why) in the high pressure bed, room #7. It was 35$, so grossly overpriced. I was in the area and needed to tan ASAP so I said whatever i'll do it. WELL if I knew how dirty this place was, I would have never stepped foot in there. I got out of the bed early when I saw a spider crawling up the wall next to me. Gross. Pictures speak for themselves. I will say the young girl who was working the desk was extremely nice & helpful. But that doesn't make up for the fact that this place is quite literally a dump. read more

Come here if you want to get nickel and dimed. I purchased a month of tanning. First it's advertised as 29.95 but that's only if you sing up for 3 months so it was 60$ then my membership was up today and I called yesterday to make sure I could still come in because it was still apart of my month and she said it was fine. Today I showed up and the lovely girl at the desk called her boss I'm assuming and told me I would have to renew my membership. Seriously this is still apart of my month and if this was an issue why wouldn't I have been told yesterday that it was my last day to tan. Extremely disappointed and never coming back. Not to mention I paid 17$ for the giant a couple of days ago. My money was wasted and no one tried to help. That's how you lose loyalty. read more

This location was great! Amber was so sweet and helped me figure out a great regimen to get the results I wanted. She answered all my first time tanner questions and gave me great information. read more

I have been going to Sun Works for quite some time and have always gotten the MOST gorgeous color. They make sure to change out the bulbs often and they are so cautious with how much time they allow when the bulbs are new which is awesome so you don't fry yourself! The main reason I keep going back is because of Gaby, she has to be one of the sweetest and most hard working person I've ever come across. I often find myself there more often and longer just to catch up with her. Can't say i've ever had a bad experience and love their monthly packages...you can stay summer ready all year long at Sun Works! read more

I've been meaning to write a review for a long time now. I'm usually busy and always on the go. I don't write reviews unless I get a WOW experience. But this review is definitely worth my time! Gabby is the reason why I'm writing this review. She displays great customer service and shows compassion with what she does. As a customer this is what I like to see and this is the reason why I keep coming back to this location. Hence, the location I signed up at in Glendale. I've been coming to this location for a year. Every time I walk in I always feel welcomed. I am usually greeted by my name with a big smile. Gabby is a great listener and always has great advice. She is very knowledgeable and professional. Not only is she a great listener, she has an amazing memory. She remembers every conversation we had and recalls them every time I come back. I can go on on with this review but.... I just want to say I'm not leaving this place. It's always clean and ready every time I go. Gabby is a wonderful human being. The owner is very lucky to have her. I am grateful to come across a sweet lady like Gabby. read more

I have been coming to Sunworks tanning since I was 14 years old (I am now 19). I absolutely love it, reasonable pricing and the matrix does wonders for a tan. I would definitely recommend getting the monthly membership as it can be costly to do tanning without a package (as it is anywhere you go). One reason that makes this place stand out besides the amazing tan the matrix bed gives is Gabby at the front desk. Ideal employee who is friendly, professional, knowledgeable about the services offered, and overall has made me renew my 6 month membership with Sunworks. The facility is clean and nice looking inside. Everywhere I go I get compliments that I am "glowing". Additionally, if you're going to get a spray tan definitely do the pura sunless. It's a little more money but the result is a streak free glowing tan. I would give 6/5 if I could. Additionally can't say it enough that Gabby is amazing. She is always cleaning to make sure the place looks spotless and can even remember customers names to get them in and out even faster. read more

Sun Works Tanning Pasadena - Only took me one month into my membership to achieve this! - Spray Tanning Near Me - Pasadena, California

This is my second season in a row as a customer. I have been to quite a few tanning salons & I just love the customer service I receive here at Sun Works Gabby always has a big smile on her face when I walk in...remembers my name & revisits conversations we've had in the past. She is quite knowledgeable regarding the tanning beds and doesn't try to overly upsell. She thoroughly explained why I should use the beds that do the least damage. I agreed and I was so happy with the results! I do not have a single complaint about this place.... Come on in, you'll be happy you did! read more

I absolutely love this place they are honest and always super kind. This is the only place I tan . If you are looking for great customer service and a clean place, I would definitely recommend Sun works. The beds are always clean, the staff is incredibly helpful with any all questions I had, read more

Well, despite my difficulty with spray tan machine, the owner and I worked out an amicable solution for both of us. He offered me a few options to sort out my issues. I appreciate that he worked hard to see that I was taken care of and gave me several options to fix it. Well done. Thank you. They clearly care about their customers and will sort out problems if you let them know. If you have any issues, they have a removal product. read more

This place is great!!! It was my first time tanning. The person working there was super knowledgeable. Took all her suggestions and couldn't be happier. Def going back again. Place is very clean too!!! read more

I just wanted to give a special thanks to the staff for my amazing experience. I walked in last minute in tears because I was over worked and didn't make it to tan for my brothers wedding last Saturday. I was extremely late! The staff was fully supportive in calming me down and giving me full confidence in my tanning experience. They a organic spray tan solution that looks flawless and very natural. I recommend this to everyone and anyone! Thanks to everyone for keeping such a nice salon! It was very clean and organized! I yelp for small business owners who make their business feel like home! God bless! read more

Bad customer service. Initially, I called to see if I could make an appointment for the Sunboard. I checked the website and the website stated "new customer special: 3 sessions for $50." When I called I was told that was no longer a special. Yet, the website also states, "will match any competitors' price. " When I pointed this out the young woman on the phone got snippy with me and said, " the owner doesn't update the website." read more

From all the workers to the owner, Jack-- each of them are so kind, helpful, and friendly. They keep the place super clean as well! Even after moving I stayed coming here due to the experience and atmosphere. Thank you all for being amazing! read more

WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY ! Came in for my first spray tan and the girl that works there gave me horrible instructions and with that I got nervous cause of the spray machine and made a streak on my tan told her and she said I've never had this happen before I don't know what to do I ended up coming home to shower it all off $40,down the drain, find better workers that look like they want to work there read more

Little spot for a quick tan! Quick and easy and the front desk lady is informative and she will offer discounts

I went here last year as they were clean, affordable, and all around nice. I was unable to continue my contract with them due to child care issues. While I thought I had canceled the contract correctly, I found out months later I was still charged and while I was not able to get the money returned for reasons out of their control, they were really wonderful about giving me store credit. I really appreciate businesses that do what they can to make customers happy and I will be going back when I'm able to get a sitter. All around wonderful place, owners, and staff! read more

I've came her twice for the spray tan and the cus service is great. I even spoke to the owner who gave me great advice for my spray tan. Both times it's came out perfect! The price is reasonable and it's clean. I'm definitely coming back when I need to work on my tan. read more

Sun Works would normally deserve two or three stars, but I've decided to give them a single star for one reason: They offer a free tanning session to anyone who gives their business a five star review. So does this place objectively deserve one star? No. But it certainly doesn't objectively deserve all of the five star reviews it is getting, so if they're gonna game the system, then some vigilante yelp justice is in order. Dear Owner of Sun Works, Whatever possessed you to have a sign at the front desk that blatantly offers free services for five star reviews? Did you think your business isn't great enough to warrant great reviews without you having to pay for them? That alone speaks volumes. Even so, quid pro quo doesn't just damage your reputation; it damages the reputation of Yelp and the people who trust in Yelp to provide honest, unbiased reviews. Your unethical behavior in this area is liable to make people think you are unethical in other ways. And is that how you want to run your business? Especially a business in an industry that raises health concerns? Are you cleaning and maintaining your beds properly? Why do I ask? Because if you're trying to game the system in one area, it casts a cloud on your entire business. I don't get all high and mighty about being a Yelp Elite. But it is a privilege that Yelp bestows on reviewers who maintain a high level of integrity. Yelpers (hopefully) trust our reviews. And as of today, you have two reviews from Yelp Elites, both giving you a single star. Yikes. And the way you replied to the other one-star review (Tara C.) was poorly handled. Yes you did offer to address her complaint, but you then ended the encounter with words "also I wasn't able to find you in my system." My hunch is that you said this in order to suggest that she never really came to your salon. Maybe she wasn't in your system, that's true, but that's probably your mistake given that your employee couldn't find me in your system FORTY MINUTES after you took down my information on the phone. Even if you don't care about ethics, surely you care about your bottom line. Providing free services for good yelp reviews is not just an ethical problem: it's a tactical one. These five star reviews raises expectations, and then when someone comes and receives less than five star service, they are even more disappointed than they otherwise would be. And trust me when I tell you that disappointed customers will definitely hurt your bottom line. What sort of disappointment did I encounter? Where to begin? I came here three times, and two of three times your employees forgot to write down my appointment. So I had to wait. Not a big deal, except why go through the charade of having appointments at all if they're not going to be recorded? The first time I came here, your employee bad-mouthed the tanning salon across the street. That's just tacky. And then she couldn't explain why you charged a tax for your services. I happen to know that it's because of a provision of Obamacare, but only because I looked it up since it's so unusual to charge a sales tax for services. But your employees should know this, because it's unusual, and they should be able to explain it to your customers who ask. The second time I came here, your employee asked me about my "nationality." Well, I happen to be American, but even if I weren't, I hardly see what my nationality has to do with anything. Maybe she was just trying to make pleasant conversation. Except she wasn't pleasant. I've met sea urchins with more congenial personality. I'm a middle aged man (alas!) and I don't take kindly to being treated like a jr. high school-er by some 20 year old Heather/Mean Girl/human velociraptor who has no business being in customer service. She then proceeded to lecture me about why I needed a $100 indoor tanning product, yammering on about melanin and epidermis, like she was some sort of dermatologist or something. I'm pretty sure she hasn't conducted a double-blind scientific study or even knows how to read a medical research abstract, so she should probably ease back on the scientific claims. In all fairness, the third employee I encountered was an absolute joy. She was amazing. Personable, knowledgeable, cheerful, funny and all around fantastic. Look, I get it: it's tough to find good help when you're paying minimum wage (plus commission, I imagine, given the Gestapo tactics they were employing to try to get me to buy retail). But if you treat your employees with the same lack of integrity as you treat your yelp reviews, then it's no wonder that you're reaping what you sow. You know, I feel sorry for you. I really do. Because you probably don't know the first thing about running a business, and now you're losing money and you're so desperate that you have to pay people to say they like your business. Sincerely, An Authentic Yelp Reviewer read more

Sun Works is a delightful salon well worth 5 stars. ...that's all. No but seriously. The prices are unbeatable. Tanning is not cheap, which is why attending a great salon like this helps you get your money's worth. I like soft, natural looking tans so I purchase a stand up and I maintain it with the level 1 uv beds. I would recommend making sure to get it like this because there are level 1 bundles to buy, which is more affordable than buying it individually. I've actually never had an issue with service either. The ladies are sweet and usually very helpful. This salon is one of my favorites because they have 3 locations. It's convenient and we'll priced. I've also never had issues with parking, which always is a problem for me. All in all, what more can you want? Great service and great prices. I love my tan! read more

I decided to give this tanning spot a try & don't regret it! Everyone is super nice & attentive! Gabriella is super sweet and makes coming here extremely pleasant. The beds are great & have given me beautiful & natural results! My husband loves my new glow! read more

They Lie...Be Careful...Just Don't Sign Up For Anything That Has Automatic Payments Even If The Owner Sells It To You Because They Lie And Will Screw You...Funny I've Read Reviews on City Search Back From 2013 That Say The Exact Same Thing...Worst Part Is Its Not An Employee That's Doing It...Maybe Them Too...But I Dealt Directly With The Owner...Closing My Bank Account Opening Another...How Inconvenient...But I Refuse To Pay These Liar Scammers Another Penny..!! I did call to not even cancel but to suspended it for a few months as I was told I could...and was told that I could not do that..!! So I was lied to..!! Sad part is I would have stayed a customer...just needed sometime to get back up to where I needed to be...and now I need to find a new place to go...the place is clean and well kept and have amazing beds...but they are very misleading and dishonest in my opinion... I actually called to suspended my account as I was told I could by you Jack...yes I know who you are too...and your employee who called you and then called me back...at least that's what she said she was gonna do....unless she lied too...she called me back and said that you said I could not suspend my account at that time...she didn't say come fill out a paper to fax to the bank...she said the YOU said it couldn't be done at the time. read more

Been going to Sun Works for a few years now, always been a pleasant experience. I use the stand up bed, and I get positive results every time. The customer service is very friendly and the atmosphere is soothing. I have met and spoke to Jack, the owner, and he seems to be a very friendly and knowledgable individual. He went into detail relating to the tans and their differences and gave me the best possible package when I first went. Since then, I have become well versed in how to tan properly without burning, since I have a fair complexion. Also, the employees are very kind, very nice and sweet. The parking is good and the layout is professional and clean. Not sure how anyone can speak badly of their service, as I personally have never had issues and the multiple times I have gone, I haven't seen anyone else treated in any way shape or form that wasn't fair or super friendly. I have gone to multiple tanning salons throughout the years and Sun Works has always provided the best results, bar none. Management is kind and personable, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great tan at good prices with knowledgable people there to help guide you through the process. read more

I've bought some tan packages here. The beds are good but the young lady who turned me away from tanning at 5:35 when the hours say they're open until 6pm is just trying to go home early. I could easily be in and out before closing. I rushed across town between two meetings and am extremely disappointed in the service at this moment. (I've added two stars as the manager here reached out to me.) read more

This place is filthy . The girls at the front seat are usually snooty with a bit of an attitude and the owner doesn't change the bulbs in the tanning beds. The last time I came in they tried to tell me I had 4 sessions left in my package and upon "further inspection" I was back up to 7 . This happened to me a number of times . They are thieves and unsanitary read more

Talk about a great tan! This has yet to be the best tan I've ever had in such a short period of time! Susie, at the front desk was knowledgeable and sweet. She showed me all the beds and went over the differences between each of them. I told her I was going to be in a wedding the next day and that I wanted a tan, but DIDNT want to get burned. She recommended the Sun Gate - High Pressure Bed, known as the "GIANT". I guess this bed is great for quick tans because it doesnt have any UVB rays and doesn't burn. The bed also has seperate lighting for the face, so need to cover your face! Aside from that, it's location/parking is so convenient and all the rooms are very clean! Cost was $22 for 10 minutes! They also have spray tan (maybe next time) read more

Where do I begin? Oh, I know!! I started going to sun works almost a year ago. Gabby is my go to person at Sun Works. If it wasn't for Gabby I would not have returned. Gabby knows how to treat the customers, she know how to treat them an how to up sell. Gabby left the company and at that point I stopped going, although gah I had a couple sessions left, I just didn't like or feel welcome with whomever was working. For some reasons, today I decide to hurry up and use the rest of my purchases so I could be done and find another place. I called in and guess who answered the phone " Gabby" yes!! That's right my GABBY IS BACK. I'm so happy and thrilled. I will continue to go back to sun Works.. as a matter of fact I bought more session and ... OWNER if you are reading this, please know I bought this because you have an excellent employee, that knows what she's doing. Welcome back Gabby! read more

Really frustrated with their store and policies. I let them know the first day I started my unlimited membership that I would be returning to school in August but they refuse to let me cancel and are going to continue to charge me the monthly fee even when I'm not here. Very disappointing. read more
