Messaged her to get an appt and since I'm an influencer I thought it could benefit us both to do a small collaboration. She said she could give me a discount for doing so and I was happy to accept but didn't expect it. After we discussed some date and times I mentioned that I was on the heavier side and wanted to discuss expectations with photos to promote her business. I said I wouldn't be comfortable with doing a bikini shot (like most of her clients do on her IG) but would still show the before and after in a different way. After I mentioned that part- she changed her tune and said "she'd let me know if something opens up" and ghosted me. Never heard from her again. Personally, it was shallow and rude and if you look at her IG page you can see she is only concerned with "thin" or "skinny" girls who fit a certain mold. I always love to promote body positivity esp since some heavier girls can be self conscious about a completely nude spray tan. But instead I was ignored. I was happy to take my business elsewhere and had the most amazing (and accepting) spray tan at sugar + bronzed. Go there instead, you will pay less and have a better experience. read more

There's no waiting room: you sit in the hall. The procedure in painful...more painful than waxing. The cost was exorbitant.

Although my experience at The Bronzed Bee was the best ever, I hope that this does not appear on Facebook. I will be as euphemistic as possible in my praise for this establishment, because there are certain aspects of one's personal life that are just that--VERY personal! I will divulge that I did not get my eyelashes serviced or receive a spray tan at said Bee. Before the procedure, they ask you to complete a comprehensive questionnaire regarding medications you may be taking that could affect your reaction to the waxing. Wow! No one else does this; I commend them for their professionalism. I've been burned (literally) before at another facility (COUGH Blue Mercury COUGH) that prides itself on its aesthetic services, so I was slightly wary. Sarah is highly efficient, but she also made me feel completely at ease. We chatted about this and that as she did her magic. Before I knew it, 30 minutes had flown by, and I had time to take my dog to his vet conveniently located right next door. I plan to return in a timely manner when life becomes furrier than I (and my husband) would prefer. I fear I have already revealed too much, but no matter: hopefully my minor embarrassment will add to the many positive reviews The Bee has garnered on Yelp. read more

After loving their tanning services, I decided to try The Bronzed Bee's waxing services too. I got a brazilian and I would highly recommend it, even for a first-timer. The staff was so accommodating with a set of wipes and a towel to drape over yourself to get comfortable before it starts. Then you lay back, chat and watch TV and practically forget that you're being waxed. The experience was seamless and extremely comfortable, and I was in and out of the room in under 15 minutes. read more

I really wanted to like this place more! The service was great. My spray tan technician was awesome, and they blend using brushes which is a nice touch. However, the tan did not seem as dark as I would usually get with two coats at other places. I also feel like the tan faded/washed away quicker than my previous tans at other places. Some good news: I have very sensitive skin and usually have reactions to spray tan -- no such reactions from their product! It also smelled clean and refreshing ( unlike the usually chemical smell of spray tan). read more

So I've had some Brazilians before and not great experiences, I went in this cute place right by my new job while exploring the area and just loved the look. I thought hey why not! I lucked out with Hanna doing my wax, she was pleasant and kept me laughing during what can usually be an awkward meeting. I plan on going back for a spray tan next week so I can't wait especially since my old salon no longer does spray tans. read more

The Bronzed Bee - The menu to help pick out something for your next appointment - Spray Tanning Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ladies, high-tail it over to the Bronzed Bee if you're in need of a wax because Ashley is definitely a professional when it comes to waxing your lady parts. I love the online booking system because it means I don't have to physically pick up my phone and call anyone. Some might call this lazy, I call it convenient. I booked a modest brazilian, which is basically a brazilian sans waxing your backside. I mean, no one looks back there anyway, right?! My experience was phenomenal and pain-free. Yes, I get waxed often, so I'm sort of immune to pain "down there," but this was honestly the most painless brazilian I've ever had. There is a TV in the waxing room and you get control of the remote, so if you're not a frequent waxer, watching HGTV or Cupcake Wars can potentially ease some of the pain. As for me, I just chatted with Ashley while she worked her magic and almost forgot I was being waxed! The Bronzed Bee has a frequent waxer deal, so if you keep up with your brazilians every 3 weeks or so, they're only $35, which is seriously a steal in this city. I already booked my next appointment and I suggest you do the same. read more

Just moved to the Graduate Hospital area and on my walk home last week realized that the Bronzed Bee was in my neighborhood! The girls fit me in yesterday for a half body spray tan (it's winter- tan legs are not that important right now!) for $20 and I am so thrilled with the result! The color is gorgeous, application is flawless-!the spray itself smells so good and is organic! Kara (I think I have the name right?! ) did a great job and nailed the color. It's exactly what I was looking for. No orangish hue whatsoever! Definitely will be back! If you need a little pick me up from the Winter Blues- this is your place! read more

Just got a spray tan, the Queen Bee, by Tara Lynn and it was amazing. I was so worried about being too dark or orange like the last couple of spray tans I had. Not here!! I look amazing. I can't wait to go back. read more

Came here for the "busy bee" spray tan. Woman who did it (owner/manager?) was super nice and did a really good job- took the time to brush in my hands and feed and any other tricky areas. This option (most expensive) is where you can shower in 1-4 hours after the spray tan, depending on how dark you want to be. I showered just under 3 hours after and wish I waited just a touch longer. She told me with this one she can't control the darkness as With the others. But I looked just sun kissed enough. The smell was bearable, no better or worse than other spray tans I've gotten. The best part is how well it wears off. I had zero streaking or weird dark parts to begin with, but it's just nicely fading (lasts about 5 solid days) instead of coming off on weird places like the crook of your arm. All in all a great experience, I highly recommend! Though I think I may try the queen bee next time so I can be a little bit darker :) read more

I get home, my boyfriend jaw drops and charges toward me leaving me... Sigh.. Breathless! need I say more...? Loved it!!! read more

SPRAY TAN VIRGIN! I just finished my second tan at Bronzed Bee and I absolutely love the result. Ashley is super nice and great conversation. It's very clear that the business operates on passion, great tans and top notch customer service. I wouldn't go anyplace else! Ps. My tan looked great! Natural glow without looking Orange or streaky. read more

I went to the Bronzed Bee for a Brazilian. I had tried a couple of other places in Philadelphia and had left feeling neutral about the service. My experience here was wonderful! The staff was friendly and Ashley made what can potentially be a very awkward appointment, extremely enjoyable. She made me feel very comfortable and did an excellent job. I will definitely be going back here for future waxes! PS There were two small adorable dogs walking around the store and greeting customers. I am not sure if this is a regular thing, but I loved it! read more

I came in yesterday for a spur of the moment brow wax. Upon entering, I knew that this would be my new go-to place for waxing services. Not only was it impeccably clean, the décor reminded me of my own home. It was comfortable, quaint, and bright- three attributes that put me in a great mood from the moment I stepped inside. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, they were happy to accommodate me on such short notice. I filled out a waxing waiver (standard in many salons) that would advise my esthetician if I was taking medications or if I would possibly have a reaction to the wax. This put my mind at ease; little details like this shows a huge amount of professionalism. Ashley, the owner, took me back and did the brow wax herself. She surveyed the mess that was going on above my eyeballs and totally reshaped my brow. She didn't take too much hair off which is what I am always worried about. She managed to reshape my shapeless brow while keeping everything in tact. The price points here are VERY reasonable. They were just voted Best of Philly for Best Airbrushed Tan. Due to them being one of the best in the city, I thought that their services would be much more expensive than competitors. This place is definitely affordable; my brow wax set me back a measly $20- which was worth every penny. They also have a salon version of a "happy hour" where you can have a free lip wax when you get your brows done! Such a cute concept! My brows looks amazing- I cant wait to come back here. read more

I normally get waxed back home but I needed to find a new wax place in Philly. The Yelp reviews drew me to the Bronzed Bee and they didn't disappoint. I had Sarah and I informed her that I didn't like blue wax and she didn't have a problem with just using hot wax. She was really nice, personable, and efficient. I can't wait to come back! read more

The staff is friendly and the service is great! I got a manzillian and they did a wonderful job. A relatively painless experience. Would totally recommend. Thanks bronzed bee!! read more

I love this place! It's super cute inside. Ashley has a fantastic memory and is so quick and professional that it keeps me coming back! Give it a try! read more

So glad this place opened in my neighborhood. I won't be going anywhere else for waxing. The place is small but clean. The staff is very friendly and great at what they do. I've been waxed by several different staff and have had a great experience every time. And bonus - they have online scheduling so you don't have to sit at work and hope no one around hears you making a Brazilian appointment. Good prices. read more

I have been coming to Bronzed Bee for about 6 months now and I have a fabulous experience every single time. The owner, Ashley, is extremely professional and personable. Easy to book appointments and a wide variety of hours, very important for me with my busy work schedule. The shop is gorgeous and very clean. Love the location! read more

After reading all the positive reviews on Yelp I decided to give the Bronzed Bee a shot. I am going to Mexico for a week and needed a Brazilian Wax. I booked with Sarah. She was extremely professional and made me feel at ease. Place is super clean and everyone is friendly. I would highly recommended this salon. read more

They were awesome!! I'm a pale girl and they made it look very natural! Couldn't be happier.

I made an 11am appointment online for Tuesday, this was to be my first spray tan ever, also my first time coming to the Bronzed Bee upon recommendation from a friend ....well, it's 11:30am and I'm still standing out front, it appears they are not open. I'm disappointed, was really looking forward to this! read more

Ok, this is one of the rougher wax experiences I've had in my life. Everything about the visit was so nice, except that the person who waxed me seemed to have no training. I could have done the same job faster and less messy on myself. There were still patches of hair when they were done. I am chalking it up to the particular person I saw though, otherwise the experience from booking to checkout and follow-up were great. read more

This place is awesome! Sarah is a gem, and this is by far the best spray tan I have received in Philadelphia!!! Highly recommend ;)

I can't say enough wonderful things about my first visit today!!! This is the best service and high quality tanning I have ever experienced!!!! First class all the way, super clean and extremely warm natured that makes you feel right at home. I am sold and have already planned my next wax there!! read more

I tried this place right before I went on vacation to Mexico. I asked her to make it the darkest possible and I'm glad I did! My tan came out amazing and my friends kept telling me all weekend how real it looked! I will definitely be back. The place is super cute and Ashley was extremely professional and made me feel comfortable. It's a little expensive, but worth the results! Oh- and you get 10% off for paying cash! read more

I just had an excellent spray tanning experience here! After forgetting about how pale I was until the day before a wedding that I was in, I called The Bronze Bee hoping there was any way I could get in. I was able to get an appointment for the same day I called, even though I'm sure they were super busy with it being the day before New Year's Eve. My tan was flawless and super believable on my very fair skin. This was my first time being spray tanned by a person rather than a booth and they made sure that I was totally comfortable. I can't recommend it enough, The Bronzed Bee is definitely worth it! read more

I'm not one to write reviews, but this place deserves special attention as I will be recommending it to all of my friends and family. Professional, accommodating, helpful, friendly -all while getting a great tan! Love a small local philly place with amazing service!! read more

My first thought was, how good can a $35 Brazilian wax really be? The answer...amazing! Ashley is not only an expert at this painful activity, but she's just a generally awesome person to be around. She's quick, efficient and having "Say Yes to the Dress" playing in the background doesn't hurt. Seriously. Stop in and you will not regret it! read more

Ashley is absolutely fabulous. Super sweet and was willing to let my cancel my appointment (without charge) on the spot because my schedule changed. I liked her so much that I decided to keep it and just get a second one this week. She did a great job and made me feel perfectly comfortable. I looked great all week! read more

I found the Bronzed Bee on Yelp and luckily it was only 2 blocks from my apartment. I just got the Busy Bee and it was seamless, easy and looks great! The ladies were all super nice and the place was clean! I will definitely be returning! read more

Before finding Bronzed Bee, I was always so nervous about getting a spray tan because I didn't want to look orange or have any discoloring around my ankles, wrists, etc., due to my past experiences. Ashley and her team at Bronzed Bee changed that nervous mindset for me, from day one. They not only provide a great spray tan that has a natural look on the skin with no discoloring, but everyone there is so nice and super professional! I will never go anywhere else for a spray tan and always recommend Bronzed Bee to anyone who's asks me!!! read more

I was so excited when I saw this place move into the neighborhood! I went there last night to get a spray tan before my vacation. I believe Ashley sprayed me and amazing she was super nice and did an amazing job! I will definitely go back soon for a new tan and try out their waxing services!! Thank you and welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Pretty great place to get waxed! The services were reasonably priced. The bikini wax was relatively painless. Plus you get to watch TV the whole time! The woman who waxed me was the owner/operator. She was extremely friendly. Additionally, the whole business is paperless - who doesn't love saving the environment? read more

The bronzed Bee is a beautiful salon with an even more beautiful and pleasant staff. 2 days later my tan still looks beautiful and natural. The girl Angie who sprayed me was the sweetest cutest girl I have ever met and did an absolutely PERFECT job! Will def be going back to get sprayed by Angie once this tan fades! LOVE THIS PLACE read more

Having recently moved to Philadelphia I was keen to find a good spray tan salon - even in the dead of winter! I cannot recommend Ashley @ The Bronzed Bee enough - excellent service & great quality tan that lasts for up to a week with no patchiness. The online booking facility is also very convenient. read more

I rarely, wait, never do reviews. That changes today, because I had a fantastic visit at The Bronzed Bee. I've recently moved to Philadelphia from NYC and have been yearning for a waxing place that is: 1. affordable 2. CLEAN 3. customer friendly. I know what you're thinking 2 & 3 should be a constant amongst all places but it really hasn't been here. Sarah was my esthetician, and she was absolutely wonderful. I'm an og when it comes to waxing and the pain doesn't really phase me anymore so we were just able to have pleasant conversation without it being awkward, cause you know.... lady bits. The wax was quick and whatever cooling spray she used after was amazing. I choose Bronzed Bee because they do have a frequent waxer deal (go every three weeks and your wax is only $35)! I will be going back, especially because booking online is so painless. read more

I really love this place! The staff are friendly, patient, and really welcoming. I'm very new to the world of Brazilian waxes, but this place made me feel completely at ease. read more

I don't usually write reviews for beauty services since I'm a guy that only does pretty basic grooming--haircuts every 3 weeks and that's it. However, my wife and I came here for spray tans before we went on holiday last week, and everything turned out great. I had never had a spray tan in my life and had no idea what to expect. The girl walked me through everything and put me at ease--standing half naked in front of someone you don't know can be awkward, but she had me talking the whole time and before I knew it she was done. We followed the after care instructions to a tee and the color looked completely natural and lasted for the duration of our holiday. It also faded very naturally. I believe Anita sprayed me and Jessica sprayed my wife. They were both great. read more

So happy I found this place! I went yesterday to get my eyebrows waxed and a spray tan for a wedding I'm going to this weekend. Sarah did an AMAZING job. I've had several spray tans in my life but this was by far the best one- no streaks, very even, and a great tone. She was super personable and professional the whole time. I would highly recommend this salon! read more
