Revel & Rose Cleansing Spa

Colonics? Never thought it was for me. Heard that Revel & Rose used a system where one was able to «start (read insert)» the colonic treatment themselves (with an assistant close by if needed) and I knew I had to check it out. I’m one of those folks who definitely needs my privacy but after hearing about the benefits of colonics, I figured I would give it a try. Enter Susan Lee — this is the practitioner that you want to choose. Right from the beginning, Susan made me very comfortable about what I should expect and answered all 800 questions I had about the procedures, before, during and after. Susan has a beautiful demeanor and is so very calming that right from the get go, you feel that you will be well cared for. Started with the infrared light sauna room which was cute and quaint and provided me with the perfect setting to get me relaxed for my treatment. It was nice to just chill out in the heat and get your mind and body set just right. The colonic service was exactly what I read about as I did some research on it and the experience was relaxing thanks to the care and attention that Susan gave to me. Definitely worth checking out if you have always been interested! Trust me when I say that bedside manners go a long way.

I had my first colonic! I thought I’d never try it and was always a little bit scared. But I had a long flight ahead of me with about 10 hours of sitting and I always get super constipated from that, so I thought I’d give it a try. My tech was Susan and she took such great care of me! First she had me start with the infrared sauna. I’m not a huge fan of dry saunas, but this one was nice! I took a shower afterwards (same room as the mini personal sauna) and put on the robe and slippers they provide. Then it was colonic time. Susan explained how everything works and what I’d have to expect (by the way: when I scheduled the appointment she also had lots of helpful suggestions on how to prepare for the appointment). I felt she was very experienced, warm and welcoming and I didn’t feel «weird» at any time. I was able to adjust the water pressure and temperature myself. Susan left me alone in the room so I had privacy and checked on me a few times to see if everything was ok or if I needed more time. I have to say I felt great afterwards and would totally do this again (maybe even doing a whole series).The spa is nice, spacious, smells good (!) and has lots of light flooding the rooms. I’d recommend this place to anyone!

Getting massages and taking care of myself is so important, knowing this a friend recommend Bonnie Morgan. She has been massaging for over 40 years and comes down from Napa to practice one day a week. Bonnie taylored the treatment to my needs and knew intuitively how to work on problem areas. Amazing work and will be my go to for massage.

Ria is fabulous. I really love her. I’ve gone to Revel for almost every spa service they offer, nails, infrared sauna, all kinds of therapies. Its a perfect location, its beautiful inside. I buy my skincare products here too. They have a great spa store, which includes a selection of skin care products and supplements with the best cutting edge ingredients and solutions at reasonable prices. Its a joy to visit. I go regularly because, I love Ria, I love the environment, I love the results, and I deserve it!
Ria is knowledgable, patient, warm, caring and takes the time to answer your questions, which for me is usually quite a few. I like to understand how the health and beauty industry is evolving and how we are addressing the unique needs of my skin and body. She explains exactly what we are doing, why, and what to expect. She makes you feel comfortable and welcome immediately. She is my Go-​To. I know everything will be fantastic, service will be seamless, the facilities have everything I could want and its beautiful and peaceful… I can’t recommend Revel or Ria more highly.
Every treatment has been fabulous, and I’ve been a steady client for over 2.5 years. I credit Ria at Revel for my glow and the bounce in my step!

My kids gave me a 50 minute massage to Revel & Rose for Mothers Day this year. I have had massages many times, but Bonnie was the best! Bonnie is an experienced masseuse who brings a wealth of knowledge in overall body, mind & spirit healing. A true professional, I highly recommend her.

I’ve been coming here for years, and finally writing a review! I mainly just come for the colonics (they have both the closed and open systems). Their prices are the best in the city, and the staff are super friendly and down-​to-​earth. They’re sort’ve a one-​stop-​shop with their great package deals (e.g. Colonic and facial, etc). I live in Marin, and make my way down here for them monthly!

Go here for a flawless spray tan.
I had a wedding in Mexico last weekend, and since most of my attending friends have year-​round Arizona tans, I knew I couldn’t show up pale. I did a ton of research (no orange tan please) and found this place. It was an excellent experience and the tan was gorgeous and lasted for my whole trip. I did the quick rinse, which was a little more expensive but you can shower an hour later — totally worth it. I’ll be recommending this place and coming back as often as I can!

Alright. I had to try the colonic hype. I went in before a cabo trip just to flatten that last bit (my bikini model friend swears by these). My tech was awesome. She explained it all so well. You insert the tube yourself (thank Jesus) and then she helps you to start by pumping the water in and making sure you can handle it. I admit. I couldn’t release the water with her in the room the first time. I was too worried about what was going to happen… I mean that’s some scary crap (literally). She stepped outside just so I could do the first push myself. Success. Then she came in and I had no problem doing a few cycles with her in there. She then leaves for you to do it yourself. It was awesome. I felt clean. Energized. And just happy that I rid my body of all of that. I recommend!

This place is awesome. Guys, quit being a wuss and come to terms with the fact that a hot chick tanning your body is awesome, you look better, and feel better.
Ladies, best place in town.
They will even come to your home.
Mention my name and you will get a high five from Gemma the owner! So you got that going for you, which is nice.

Very pleased with all services I have received here over the years.
The infrared sauna is always clean and quiet. The hydra-​colon therapies are comfortable and effective. And both my mani/​pedis and spray tans from Amanda are always flawless. The entire staff is knowledgable and has a sincere interested in your health and well-​being.
The R&R team has also recently done a great job revamping the business and creating the go-​to holistic health, wellness and beauty space for all of my needs. Highly recommend!

I attempted to get dark for a photo shoot the day prior at this establishment. The lady who sprayed me only did one coat. Told me to leave it on for 12 hours. I did. It all washed off. I was upset because I showed her a pic of how I look when I get airbrushed. She said if the tan didn’t come out, to come back and I could be re sprayed. There was no comparison. The next day I had to do my shoot without a tan as it all washed off.
The following day, I messaged and called R&R, told them what happened. They advised me to come in for two coats of their formula that you wash off after 4 hours. I had been told I could keep it on longer and I had to because I was flying home. Yuck!
The tan finally had appeared. And has lasted 5 days with a bronzing tanning extender.
The only thing that upset me was I was still charged a second time. Even though it was discounted. I would have been happier if they would have done the quick tan with two coats the first time.

Update: 11÷24÷14
I’m happy to report that the owner (female founder) contacted me and discussed what happened. She offered me a refund and also a second try free of charge. I sent her a pic of the work and discussed my experience. For the follow up+ customer service Im giving them 2 more stars. Looking forward to have a better experience when I get a chance to try them soon for a special occasion.

I’m super disappointed about my tanning experience here! I have been to many spa’s for spray tan and was expecting a great job and Customer service here for the price tag of $ 90 (75+$ 15 tip).
I made an appointment last min for a signature quick rinse (you wait up to 2hours before showering) for a gala event. I was scheduled to go in within 15 min from my call which was great!
When I got there I was greeted and let into the room and asked to get out of my clothes (with whatever my comfort zone –whether to go all nude or leave something on).
1. I’m used to someone who walks me through everything ie. here are reusable things or here is some lotion to cover your nails and feet areas that you don’t want lines (she had not asked me yet if I had spray tan before and only knew it’s my first time at this location– asked over the phone if I had been there before). So found lotion and used it with out know whether it’s the right lotion.
2. I asked her through out the spray to not neglect under my breasts and she sprayed it. I had also told her at that point that I have been to other places and that my concern always is that they miss spots.
So here is my dilemma:
I asked for a very dark tan but here is what I got:
–I’m orangish not dark
–I have uneven tan through out my body … –Some parts of my legs are darker than others
— my cleavage has a white oval ring area that’s not tanned
— my toes and feet have tan lines bc I was not spray evenly.
–my armpits are white!!!
I know who did my spray tan but it’s not my intention to call the person out but IT is the business’s responsibility to train their staff well!!!
So for $ 90 I didn’t get a good job, I could have done this myself at home w a bottle for less than $ 10!!!
I would totally want my money back! You go to a nice place to receive customer service and good results. I didn’t get either :(

I had an amazing facial here!
The most impressive thing is the staff — warm and thoughtful and caring. That makes a huge difference. But I also love the space itself, which is bright and airy with quiet and beautiful treatment rooms.
Marian was really an expert, going above and beyond with a neck massage and specific products to suit my sensitive skin. I’ll be back!

I had my first facial at Revel & Rose and it was wonderful. My session started out with a relaxing deep tissue massage. Marian used lots of hot towels which really warmed up and softened my muscles. It was a technique I hadn’t experienced much before but I loved it! After the massage she did the facial. The enzyme mask tickled and burned a little, but the antioxidant cooling mask after that soothed my newly clean skin. All of the lotions smelled so nice and didn’t feel at all heavy. I walked out of there simply glowing. I definitely will be back!

This is my second visit and I wish I could come more often. If I lived in The City — I would def make RR my A list choice spa — everything is offered. Today I received outstanding personalized and exceptionally professional service from Amanda. I am thrilled with the services I received. Please SF Bay — let’s continue to support this establishment.

I am extremely pale, and I am wearing a white dress in two days– eek!
Amanda was my first spray tanner ever, I wasn’t sure what to expect exactly, but let me tell you all of these great Unilocal reviews are very accurate to the type of service you’ll receive.
Revel and Rose is in the upstairs unit of the building, but has a street front entrance, parking wasn’t too bad, I had to park one street over.
I waited about 5 minutes before I was greeted, offered tea or water, and then given the low-​down on how spray tans work. I opted for the 4 hour instead of the 12 hour option.
I’m not the type of person who feels comfortable being nude in front of others normally but Amanda was really welcoming and seemed not at all concerned with whatever level of clothing I was willing to take off.
We chit-​chatted through the whole thing, totally someone I could be friends with, and then we were done– 15 minutes in and out.
It was definitely a great experience, and I expect to be back again, and can’t wait to wear white with my new glow!
Thanks Revel and Rose!

This was my first spray tan ever. I’m on the pale side and have some uneven tan lines from sunburns past. So, for my wedding I wanted to camouflage them and decided to give Revel and Rose a try after reading so many positive reviews! So i went 4 weeks before my wedding and got the quick rinse spray tan. 3 days in and I absolutely love the color. My coworkers thought I had been in the sun over the weekend. It such a natural color! No orangy-​ness, no streaks, just all over natural looking bronzy-​ness!
Amanda was so sweet and professional, talked me through the whole process and suggestions for how far in advance to get the spray tan again, before the wedding. I’ll definitely be back in a couple of weeks to have the natural looking sexiness sprayed on before the wedding!

Amanda and Gemma are fantastic as is this awesome new location. Friendly, professional and they know how to make you feel comfortable when your naughty bits are out in the open. Gemma poured me some tea, then Amanda gave me my glow and now I’m ready for the beach!

Ok, finding a good spray tan that doesn’t end up streaking or looking orange is scary right?! Well this is the spot to try if you have a trip, special occasion coming up or just plain want to feel 5 lbs skinnier in about 5 minutes :)
Gemma is super professional, knowledgable and just plain fun to see for a tan. She did my spray tan for my wedding and recommended I get 2 just to test it out and make sure I was happy with the color before my big day. Thanks Gemma, I felt beautiful and naturally radiant! Can I post a picture? I am going to try!
Also check them out for Mani/​Pedis and sauna! If you have a baby, they might be willing to babysit for a little bit while you have your service, hehe.
Oh and if you get a mani/​pedi try the Floss Gloss color PONY, it’s my absolute FAV.

Gemma!!! You made me glow on my wedding day. Having been in the sun for most of my life (my parents have a pool in the backyard and I played sports all the way through college) I now like to stay out of the sun. I rock the ghastly pale look. For my wedding, I thought it would be nice to be a little golden (or at least not ghostly).
I gave Brown Bunz a trial go, just to see how it would turn out. I loved it, and the trial run was great because I got to decide on what color golden I wanted to be before the wedding and I learned I needed to wear something other than my flipflops because they rubbed a flip-​flop-​tan look on my feet (which was not exactly the kind of authentic and natural look I was going for). I wore my Uggs for my wedding tan.
Natural spray tan. Goes on even. Gemma is a doll, you don’t feel self-​conscious standing like a gingerbread cookie getting your airbrush tan.
I went Thursday evening, my wedding was Saturday afternoon/​evening. That put me at my perfect tan. Gemma kept it natural, I looked like I had spent a little time in the sun getting a natural glow, which was exactly what I had wanted.
Thanks for helping me get that wedding day glow Gemma! Highly recommend for: 1) anyone who is interested in a tan without the tanning beds, 2) event-​tanning, 3) anyone who is looking for a natural glow.

I have received two services from Revel & Rose Beauty — airbrush tanning by Gemma and a freedom facial by Vita. Both services and practitioners are stellar! The airbrush tan was my first. I do NOT wear fake tans well but I read the reviews by other fair skinned ladies, saw that their spray was cruelty-​free, and I decided to take a chance. Gemma was fast, professional, fun, and friendly. My tan turned out BEAUTIFULLY and very natural looking. I received compliments for days, and I looked fabulous in the photos taken of me at my best friend’s beach wedding. It exceeded my expectations. I went back for a quick rinse application and loved it, too. It didn’t turn out as dark as the traditional spray tan (I probably could have left it on longer before showering), but it looked great.
I’ve wanted to try a facial for a long time, but I have sensitive skin and was convinced I’d break out or run out of the room feeling like flames were coming off my face. I got a call from R&R around my birthday inviting me in for a special birth month promo and decided it was time to try a facial. I’m so glad I came in! Vita is fabulous. We started 15 minutes late, but she was generous with her time and very apologetic. She’s very sweet, has great energy, and a wonderful sense of humor — which I find very calming and comforting. She asked a ton of questions, called me out on a few eating habits that she could see were affecting my skin, and gave me great recommendations without pushing product on me. I felt totally taken care of. It has been two days since my facial, and I’m getting compliments galore. I will definitely be back for more skincare with Vita.
I am a stickler for customer service and have a hard time finding practitioners I like. Thankfully, I’ve found great service and people at R&R. A warm welcome from the front desk staff, beautiful natural tans from Gemma, and glowing healthy skin from Vita. Thank you!

Living in SF, being tan is not very important. However, being tan IS important if you’re going to a bachelorette party in Las Vegas where you’ll be spending 90% of your time in a bathing suit and taking pictures with your girlfriends from San Diego who are all deep bronze. Yeah, being the pale one in the middle makes you look sickly.
This spray tanning experience combined all the things I love about a service: 1) convenient, 2) easy, 3) decently priced. If a $ 50 tan lasts for nearly 2 weeks and doesn’t give me any sort of sunburn, peeling, or potential cancer, I’m sold!
Gemma was professional, fun, accommodating, and all the directions/​tips on the website were easy to follow. I am glowing, and I’m not even pregnant!
I will definitely be back before my friend’s wedding!
