Sunny Daze Tanning Salon

Hands down the BEST tanning salon on the peninsula. Ever since I moved back here from Oregon I have been disappointed by a number of salons because they lacked options, had poor customer service or the beds were not well kept. This place always has beds available with both stand up and lay down options. I started a great base tan from the first visit. Every bed I have been in has always been cleaned and sanitized, the bulbs are always maintained and the customer service is friendly, informative and always accommodating for me on more than one occasion.
The shop has been here for some time and has an ambiance all its own. They have a great selection of clothing, purses, shoes and accessories that are reasonable and flattering for any figure. I bought a couple pairs of jeans her recently and the owner went out of her way to help me with options and even referred me to a great seamstress so I could shorten the hems.
I highly recommend this place!

The place was conveniently located in a Millbrae shopping center, but prices were a bit expensive for the quality of tanning beds they had.

Love getting tan here! Such a clean and cozy place. Doris is so welcoming and knowledgable. I got results after the first time and am in love. I’d definitely recommend this place!

I was going here a few years back, I had never been to a tanning salon and Doris made me feel completely welcome. I enjoyed the clean beds and friendly staff. I even referred a friend here also and he was very pleased. I would recommend Sunny Daze to anyone.

Have you ever walked out of a Tanning Salon burnt because the person working the counter didn’t know what they were doing and put you in a bed for longer then you should… NOT at SUNNY DAZE!
This salon is AMAZING!!! I have done my fair share of Tanning salons in the area and for the last 5 years I will only come here. You are greeted with a smile, never overcharged… In fact I do not think the prices have ever been raised and in todays economy that is unheard of. My favorite beds are the High Power and the Stand Up, you have the cutest little old school juke box so you can listen to your favorite tunes while you tan!
Once you are done tanning you can do a little shopping weather it’s a purse, a dress or some trendy jewelry. I do have to admit, My Grandma has actually gone in bought some pretty cute items not only for me but she loves the purses for herself.
I highly recommend this place! I would rather support a Small Business Owner who takes Pride in her work then a Franchise any day!

I’ve been to Sunny Daze a few times to get a nice glowing tan to show off whenever I go and visit relatives in Ireland where all you will find is pale people!
Every time I’ve gone in Doris (the owner) is at the front desk. She provides a great service. She is very knowledgeable about tanning and what you should use for your skin type. I’m a very pale person so she gave me an awesome starting lotion. Not only this but she’s a great person to talk to and always has a great story if you’re willing to listen.
The tanning salon is a boutique as well so clients can do a bit of shopping which is great! The beds are all in great condition and there’s no complaints on that part.
Personally I think there’s nothing that could be said against this shop. The prices are very reasonable so I don’t understand why people are complaining about that among other things.
In the end, its all about personal taste and every experience I’ve had there has been a great one and that’s all I can say.

There are not enough good things to say about Sunnydaze and Doris. I have tanned and shopped there and am always treated with respect. Doris always has the cutest clothes and she goes over and beyond to make sure all of her customers are happy. She has on several occasions went out of her way to let me know when new arrivals have come in that she thinks I might want as she is sells out of things very quickly… it is like having my own personal shopper. In regards to her tanning beds they are great, she even has the stand up bed which I prefer and she even has the radio pumped into it so you can listen to music while you tan. My tans always look amazing and last. Doris is very knowledgeable about the different types of tanning beds and spray tans and will tell you which one is best for your skin type and color. I highly recommend you stop by and check out all Sunnydaze and Doris has to offer!

love this place!!! first time i’ve been here and the first thing i notice is that their customer service is amazing and the place is sanitized. I’ve been to other places and it’s not as clean and people friendly. they have great stuff and affordable. the location is convenient.
i definitely recommend this place, you wont regret it!!!

LOVE this place. I’ve been to other tanning salons and nowhere gets me even close to as tan as I get here. They have student discounts and the lotions aren’t a rip off like some other places I’ve been to. Plus the owner is really sweet and friendly and always has good recommendations for lotions and stuff. They didn’t have the one I liked and she went through the trouble of trying to order it (it was discontinued) and found me a replacement. I used to live close by here but now that I live in San Francisco I still won’t go anywhere else, it’s the best.

Pretty much what all the other reviews said!
1. Doris is rude.
2. Prices are higher than most other tanning salons in the area.
3. The beds aren’t great and it takes a really long time to get a tan here.
4. She bad mouths her competition.
5. Everything is knockoffs (even the Juicy that she overcharges for).

Wow I cannot believe all the negative comments on this salon. I’ve been going here for years and have received excellent customer service. Most of the time Doris, the owner is there and has excellent advice on how to best achieve the tan you are looking for based on your skin type. She also gives the best spray tan in the area and is extremely accommodating with scheduling around your availability. In the past I’ve gone to other salons and they have not been as nice, clean, or as professionally run as Sunny Daze. I would not go anywhere else!!!

Love Sunny Daze… Doris is amazing. Her staff is super sweet. She is very honest and knows everyone that walks in. Super clean… Love this place

Like someone else stated… Sunnydaze and Dorris ROCK! She is amazing!!! She takes a lot of pride in her shop. It’s her life/​her baby, and her clients are like family.
The beds are great and the shopping is even better. Not only do you get to run in for a quick tan before going out, you can find something to wear out that evening as well. :-) I love it!!! I have an Ed Hardy purse from there that I get compliments on ALL THE TIME… not to mention the amounts of MEK and MISSME jeans (plus more) I get to choose from. I am actually headed there this week for a new pair.
I def recommend you check this place out, your won’t be disappointed!

For Millbrae, I guess this is one of the better ones. I’ve been to better, cleaner, and more customer service friendly places. The owner isn’t friendly off the bat, which I think it’s something she should work on. It seems many people won’t go because of her.

I was not attended to at all. All the owner wanted to know was where else I tan and when I told her she just bashed these places. It was very uncomfortable. Her beds are ok but they are middle class, not progressive or kept well. You could find these beds anywhere. There are much better tanning salons where the service is more personable and you don’t feel like she is trying to sell you on her place by making discouraging remarks about others. Also, the places she was speaking about are much nicer, the type of beds you would find at a five star hotel or exclusive spa. I went there because it was close to work but its not worth it. I will not go to Sunny Daze again and I recommend looking in San Mateo or Burlingame. Oh, and Victoria, you are the owner and writing under this façade is bad business. 10 people who are your friends wrote nice things and 10 people who don’ t know you who walked off the street gave you those reviews. Those are the ones that matter. I also don’t want high school girls greeting me and helping me with skin care. They are not trained nor skilled nor educated enough to address advanced skin care issues like tanning with scars, tanning positions due to injuries or how to tan properly. And the «designer bags» she has are rips offs. Thats fine, but she advertises them as authentic designer bags and tries to get you to buy stuff from her. I just wanted to tan and not be pounced on!
Victoria, tanning beds do not produce cellulite. Fat (adipose) deposit do. Its caused by adipose distribution. And if you are so worried about poor appearance of skin, you shouldn’t be tanning at your age! Before you opened your business you should have obtained a Bachelor’s degree in biology at least so you understand that tanning beds and UV bulbs don’t create cellulite. Plus, if you only claim to have gone in once to Millbrae and Burlingame «sun kissed» how could you claim that exposure to these bulbs causes that? Seems like you are upset about Sun Kissed’s progressive business and you should be. The owner’s skin is fine and she makes you feel like your business matters Really… you shouldn’t be so caddy. You have a bit of catching up to do at your salon «Victoria.» And please, put away the bags and jeans. It is very cliché.

I cannot express to all of you how much I love Sunny Daze. I have been going there for over 4 years and there is really no other place that can compare.
I take my tanning very seriously (if you don’t believe me, just check out my pictures lol) and I have tried many different tanning places and I always, ALWAYS end up coming back to Doris. When I lived in the city for school, I would actually come down to Millbrae to tan. She has the highest quality beds in the area and Doris (the owner) is very knowledgeable about safe and effective tanning procedures. All you need to do is ask, and she will help you buy a package for your needs, help you pick out a lotion, and answer any questions that you have.
From my experience, other tanning beds will burn you, and if you are lucky, it will turn into a tan, however, it will fade in 2 or 3 days. If you buy a package at Sunny Daze of even 5 tans you will definitely see results and it will last you longer.
Once you have a base tan, ya’ll should definitely try their High Intensity stand up booth… it is AMAZING. It is really good for a special occasion where you need a quick boost of color.

This place has everything you could possibly imagine for your tanning needs… and then some!
My roommate and I heard about this place online and decided to check it out. The owner, «Daze», as she likes to be called is so helpful and knows the best way to get you the most color for each visit. The plan that she has set up for $ 99 for 3 months or 15 times is perfect for people like me that only need to go for special occasions and then like to keep up their tan afterwards. The staff is also really nice and helpful and remember you even if it’s been awhile since your last visit.
The beds are pretty standard and there’s also upgrades, but I have yet to need them. The radio’s in the bed (which I use religiously) are little jukeboxes, as the theme of the place is a 50’s Hollywood feel. Super cute!
The thing that sells the place to me the most is that fact that it is also a boutique. The owner sells everything from tanning lotions to 7 jeans to Juicy suits and at VERY reasonable prices (pretty much cost!). I like knowing that I can go in to tan and feel even better about my visit after shopping as well!

When ever I’m traveling back to Minnesota I have to stop in here on the way to SFO to get my fake n bake cali tan. so I can impress my midwestern counter parts…
The location is convienient, the staff is really friendly… but the beds are dated, the pricing is over the top.
I’d give it a 2.5… I also never get much color here… theres a place in palo alto i discovered that has like two beds. similar style as this place. (dated) but they seem to give me more color, that and the sessions are 75% cheaper. (5 $/​session!) …
I dated a few girls that worked at tanning salons also, their top beds were like 20 $/​session max… and the dated beds were about 7 $. so I’m not sure why or how Sunny Daze gets away with charging like 15 $ a session. :|

For the bay area this is the best place to go get a nice tan… Most places in the bay are pretty expensive or charge you per time but this place is $ 100 for unlimited visits per month which you can’t really argue with. :).
The owner is a nice lady, with a really great tan! LOL, she knows a lot about tanning and she will help you pick out lotions and stuff you need to keep your bod looking ‘oh so yum’! :)
They do the spray on tan thing but my gf got one there and said it can run if you don’t stand just right so I wouldn’t reccomend it… but the tanning beds are really clean and the place is just overall a great value.

This salon should not be allowed to stay in business. The owner and employees are rude and act very suspicious.
(I wouldn’t even give them 1 star, but I had to pick a rating to make this message go through.)
