Chocolate Sun

If you’re all about going organic and looking very natural, Chocolate sun is the place to go. Very cute place and all the women are fantastic. I would recommend this spray tan and their products to anyone.

Beyond thankful for Chocolate Sun’s quick, outstanding, last-​minute service!
I needed a last minute spray tan for a client, so decided to call Chocolate Sun. It was around 4 PM on a Wednesday night, and they could easily fit me in for an appointment at 7 PM. I have received spray tans in the past, but no where in the Los Angeles area.
The salon is conveniently located within Salon 90 210. I’ve always been more inclined to receive spray tans from businesses located in salons and renting out space; they tend to do a much better job than going to a Nordstrom spa or a Palm Beach Tan.
Although I’ve received a spray tan in the past, Kait was very helpful and reminded me of all the proceeders for before, during, and after my appointment. The session was very quick and didn’t take more than 20 minutes. She decided to go with a light shade for a nice bronze glow, sprayed my whole body with two coats of formula, then blow-​dried my skin so it was dry.
After showering the next morning, my skin was a beautiful bronze shade. I am naturally very pale and didn’t find myself looking orange or uneven in color. My client was very happy; one of the individuals on set couldn’t even recognize I had received a spray tan: «Usually, you automatically think orange when you hear those words!»
I have been very diligent about applying moisturizer and haven’t had any issues with my tan. It has been well lasting. Also, very nice to have received a follow up call from this business. I would definitely recommend trying Chocolate Sun for you next (or first) spray tan! At $ 52 for your initial session, I believe you get the service you pay for.

Would I like to be refunded? Or did I become an orange human? Surely no! So money WELL spent, awesome product and It’s a lot of fun. I like being sprayed at Chocolate Sun, and avoid painful sunburns.
How it works?
First, which color! She helps you to find the wright tone for ya. It could be the most critical decision of your life ;). I like the dark brown. Secondly, she gives you a lemon emulsion on a wet mild cloth to wash your body and a hair cuff. Be sprayed is super fun and very quick. At the end she will blow dry then you are GOOD to go.
How it looks?
The fell is like to have a cream and smell like chocolate. You look perfect. I would stay forever like that ;).
BUT!
Small TIPS
You MUST let the product to be fully absorbed so think twice to make a shower or simply wash your armpits in the next eight hours ;). Honestly, once I found some color. It came away easily but wasn’t cool. So, I take a walk at treatment done to continue the dry process and I wear dark clothes to prevent eventual stains that would create embarrass :). I consider my self an expert.
Finally expect the product to last a little bit more than seven days.
Thumb up for Chocolate Sun.

Pay the extra dough for this tan! Looks do natural and even, I would tell everyone to come here!

I am a die hard Chocolate Sun fan and will never tan anywhere else! Amazing staff, gorgeous color, even results, almost zero smell (day one and two leave a faint almondy scent, then it’s gone), and it’s ORGANIC! Just exfoliate thoroughly before and don’t wear any lotions (however, I usually put some on my feet an hour before going in as any tanner can collect a bit on my toes and the edges). I also get their clear formula as it doesn’t wear off on clothes or sheets that day and it’s a little less sticky. Everyone compliments me on my tans and they often ask where I’ve been on vacation. It’s never orange, lasts about ten days and fades evenly. I go every two weeks because I feel naked without it now! Love love love!

I’ve been to so many tanning salons and have paid so much money, but this place is amazing. I love this place and the color is such a natural color.

Was nervous going in because I never had an airbrush tan before (I’ve done mystic tan and regular tanning beds), so getting naked was a bit unnerving! However, they make you feel very relaxed and comfortable. The airbrushing process isn’t exactly enjoyable (it’s wet and you have to stand in weird positions. They also blow dry you to dry the spray). The entire process takes about 30 minutes and l loved the results… It is worth it! Plus you’re saving your skin from getting wrinkles from the tanning beds. My tan lasted about a week and looked natural. I like that the chemicals they use are organic and natural. The airbrushing also gives the appearance of smoother skin! I will be back again for sure. You aren’t supposed to shower for at least 8 hours afterwards, so don’t make any plans afterwards and be sure to wear dark clothes because the bronzer will rub off on your clothes.
I got the medium color. I think next time o will try the dark. I’m fair skinned but the color just looked so great and it felt so good to look tan!

I’m obsessed! I’ve officially sworn off tanning beds and spending hours laying out in the sun for sunless tanning, and I’m so grateful I found Chocolate Sun! They’ve created an amazing formula that has plant derived DHA, natural moisturizing agents like coconut oil… And that’s it! None of those scary chemicals that I can’t pronounce. I eat healthy and exercise, so why would I subject myself to cancer causing agents in other sunless tanners when I don’t have to! Plus the price is competitive to other spray tans in the area. Love this brand!

Got a spray tan form here, I looked orange the second day. Plus the girl did not know how to even out my spray. I do not recommend this place.

Best Spray Tan I have ever had. No streaks or wreaks ! Kimmie was amazing and sooooo patient. I’m on day 6 and I still have a glow. She was super informative on details I had no idea about WHICH has made my glow last so much longer then previous tans. I’m so happy I can’t wait to go back!

Really friendly easy going staff. I was a walk in after leaving the dregs at Portofino up the road. Tan has lasted ages and the whole experience was just very pleasant. I tan ALOT –It’s a great colour and hasn’t dried out my skin like every other place tends to do, I just thought I had to put up with it. But this product doesn’t seem to dry you out.
I did half invis medium, with half dark+bronzer cos I didnt want to be a beetroot for the event later that night, and everyone just thought I’d been on holiday. EXACTLY the effect I was after. PLUS I didn’t wreak. Always a bonus.
Only complaint is that it’s upstairs in a random spot above Canon and the signage was a little tricky. But the people in the other businesses helped straight away.
Otherwise very good product and service.

OMG! Amazing! And I’m not so easy to please! (Actually, I’m so tough to please that I feel like every time I write a negative review on Unilocal,it gets filtered. So, SIDE NOTE: If you’re as nutty as I am, make sure to check the filtered reviews when you research someplace, just to get a complete picture!)
I have never done booth spraying, custom spraying — anything beyond my trusty Jergens lotion, so I was TERRIFIED that this would be a terrible mistake right before a big event. And I’m also sensitive to the chemical smell of the lotions I’ve tried. But I am so pasty see-​through white, that I thought I needed to take the risk.
The results were amazing. SO even, NO smell and beautiful wear and wear off.
First, the woman who helped me was a total pro. After a phone conversation to review specifics, I followed her suggestion to shower and exfoliate like crazy right before coming in (thus, no lotions/​etc. of any kind).
I felt ridiculous stripping down and getting into all kinds of positions for the spraying. But when she sensed my nervousness, she told me that she and her colleagues were like doctors — they’ve seen it all, don’t notice and so don’t care. I was put at as much ease as possible. She was so helpful in helping me know what to avoid/​not worry about over the next 8 hours while I slept (I was the last appointment of the night and that was great. Home and then bed; showered first thing in the a.m. And voila! Gorgeous, natural color from their «medium» shade.
Can’t say enough good things about this place or the doll who helped me, really.
One really, really REALLY nit-​picky suggestion to them: the floor, even towel-​covered, is a bit worn and at first made me nervous about what kind of place I was going to. (OK, I’m nutty. There really is nothing wrong with the place, but I was expecting — with absolutely no knowledge of what these places are supposed to be like — some kind of sterile-​looking booth or spa-​like shower type of thing. Instead, it felt a little bit like a store room with that giant black spray-​catching thing behind me as a backdrop.) Perhaps a large wood slat-​kind of bath mat, covered by a towel, could spruce things up? Again, REALLY minor, since the place is clean and perfect for the job.
Bonus: They claim an all natural process, which I’m guessing is better for you, and there really is no smell.

Best Tan Ever. Great women who make you feel almost not weird and naked when you’re bending over to let them get to hidden cracks. please note that THE WEST HOLLYWOOD LOCATION has MOVED TO BEVERLY HILLS. The old location is no longer. Santa Monica is taking their appointments, as the old number is not working.

I went here on a Groupon and LOVED it. It felt like an oasis and that i wasn’t in LA. The staff there are super nice and did a great job.

Chocolate Sun is amazing! A spray tan virgin, I was definitely worried how my tan would turn out. I had visions of waking up the next day Snookie orange. Instead, my tan was the perfect golden color. I had no idea faking a tan could look so natural. The place itself is super cute and relaxing inside and everyone who works there is really nice. I’ve been two times now and was really pleased with my whole experience each time. They get minus one star for being on the pricey side ($ 55 for a tan), however you can buy packaged deals that help save on the price. I highly recommend coming here before vacations or any special event.

This place is fantastic! I used to go here when they were in Santa Monica, but now that they’re in WeHo, it’s much more convenient. The formula they use does not dry out my skin or clog my pores. The staff are always conversational, and there’s never a problem booking. I liked this place so much that I bought a 10-​tan pack. Great place.

OK– I’m so white, like its to the point where people constantly state the obvious and say «wow you are so white!» Then its always that awkward… thanks?
Chocolate Sun is the place to go if you’re as scared of tanning beds as I am. (I burn anytime in in normal sun, if I’m in a box, I feel like im gonna be a cherry tomato) They are so nice (Jordan and Kimmi are the nicest girls!!) I got my tan last night and was so excited to see how it came out today. I took my shower this morning to wash off the top coat and BAM! I looked tan!!! I wasnt a ghost anymore AND I WASNT ORANGE!
I will definitely keep up with treatments and do this again for all my special occasions! I got compliments from allllll of my friends!
The location is SUPER cute! Behind Beckley its on the left hand side of the street, I was so confused at first. and actually entered an old man’s back yard and walked up a flight of stairs that led to a bedroom. At least he was nice and just told me I needed to be across the street!
4 thumbs up!

My boyfriend has been bugging me to go to a tanning salon for years. I have no interest in it, and don’t want to expose myself to the carcinogens. So last week, when a groupon came up for chocolate sun, I had to try it. Kimmie was great, and my tan looks beautiful! The whole experience was very pleasant and I couldn’t be happier. I’m excited to try the at-​home products, and she was nice enough to send me home with a sample to see how it works. Thanks Chocolate Sun!

Best spray tan I have ever had!!! No nasty smell!!!
