Ingrid’s Suntanning

Business is closed. Construction crew was onsite removing all suntan bed equipment and demolishing the interior. Confirmed by calling the phone number listed, but no answer.

OUT OF BUSINESS — – as of NOV 08,2014
I would visit San Jose and always look forward to going to Ingrid’s for the BEST tanning experience I have ever had… easily 100pts out of 100.
Not only were the beds top of the line, the people were friendly and efficient and the place was spotless.
In Seattle I am lucky if I get a 30pt experience out of 100 :-(
If only someone offered a classy tanning salon in this city…
Anyway, so very sad to hear they are no longer in business (it can’t be for not having customers) I guess owners wanted a change… I wish them the best
Really sad I can no longer tan with the beautiful machines they offered — I could go in white and come out after one tan as if I had had a golden spray tan… those machines were the ultimate
Thanks for the experience Ingrid’s It didn’t get any better than your place!
Consider moving to Seattle please Ingrid’s :-)

I went back today after many years away and I’m thinking why haven’t I been here more? Service was wonderful and the beds were spotless. I know I shouldn’t tan, but the high from the vitamin d is so worth it.
I’m not a big tanning bed person, but Ingrid’s is the absolute best!

So relaxing in the booth and very accommodating for health reasons. They start out slow and see how much light you can handle to avoid a burn. I’ve only gone there and plan on continue going there. And the customer service is great.

Went here for an airbrush tan today after reading all of the rave Unilocal reviews. I am absolutely impressed and LOVE my tan! My childcare cancelled on me so i had to bring my 2 year old with me to my appointment. The knowledgable staff not only treated me professionally and courteously but actually entertained my daughter for me the entire time! Talk about going ABOVE AND BEYOND! I will definitely be returning here again soon!

This is the go to place for me. They are friendly and there are never any hassles. I’m in and out quickly and my spray tan is always perfect! I have been to many spray tan places and this one, by far, is the cleanest and best supplied. I would highly recommended for anyone looking to get a one time tan, or like me, someone who wants to be tan all year.

Ingrids is awesome. I love going before work to get a burst of Vitamin D and a healthy glow! The staff is super friendly, facility is always clean, and the prices aren’t too bad either. Only thing missing is a cute girl to help get lotion on my back lol. Highly recommend Ingrids!

Great beds! Prices are average for a tanning salon but the beds are high powered (even the level 1). There is rarely a wait and the ladies at the front are always very sweet and accommodating.

Ever since moving to the Bay Area, I’ve been getting less sun than I was used to getting. My Vitamin D was suffering and instead of popping a pill, I decided to go the old fashioned route — sun!
The people at Ingrid’s were amazing. Super friendly, super knowledgable and concerned with getting what I needed (Vitamin D) without getting what I didn’t (sunburn/​over-​exposure).
Everything was ready when I walked in — super clean and they have literally thought of everything!

Amazing! My new favorite place.
After finding out that my usual spot in SF was closed, I decided to look elsewhere. I’ve passed by Ingrid’s many times while on California Street, so decided to check it out on a weekend. I went in on a Saturday and was set up with an intro offer for 3 tans for $ 89 for the high pressure bed. Best to call for an appointment because there is only 1 high pressure bed and the place gets busy!
After finishing up my intro offer, I decided to go for the Unlimited Package. $ 89/​month with $ 25ish initiation fee and 3 month minimum. I opted to pay up front to avoid the «tan tax» which is 10%.
Super friendly girls, the best beds I’ve ever used, clean and super easy to use. Recommend an appointment so you don’t have to wait!

The most entertaining event of my week was right here with Ingrid’s!
My first time at a tanning salon. I didn’t actually tan, but my coworker did. When you walk up and you see the tanning beds through the window, don’t freak out like my coworker did. They’ll press a button and the window drapes will go down so nobody can see you. My coworker noticed she could see the beds from outside on the sidewalk as we were leaving and freaked out saying, «I was in that one!!!» Hahaha. Crazy girl.
The ladies who work here are very nice and accommodating as I sat and waited for my coworker to get her tanning done. They offer mystic tanning, spray tanning, and tanning beds of different uva/​uvb settings and wattage.
I think the most expensive tanning bed was $ 46 for a single session or 2 for $ 75. It’s only 12 minutes in the bed at 99%UVA/1%UVB for this package with enough wattage to light up the city! It’s super fast!
The least expensive tanning bed session was $ 10 for a 95%UVA/5%UVB ratio on a low wattage setting. This one I was told can take over half an hour and is suggested that first timers not go the whole time as they may be more prone to burning because their skin obviously isn’t used to it. Maybe you won’t burn, but they’ll tell you anyways as a precaution.
A lot of regulars came in to tan while I sat and learned more about their services. They’re really popular. Maybe I’ll tan the next time my coworker goes back again. Maybe, no promises.

Stopped by Ingrid’s before Spring Break and had a great experience. Very friendly staff, clean atmosphere, new equipment, and several pricing options available.

I’ve been going to Ingrid’s on and off for the past 5 years. Each time I return, Sharon and the rest of the girls are always incredibly friendly and accommodating (since I usually walk-​in without an appointment). They’re also super knowledgeable about tanning practices, and are helpful when it comes to building a base/​maintaining your tan. The tanning beds are pristinely clean and comfortable, although I rarely use anything other than the Open Sun. I’ve also gotten an airbrush tan here as well, and Sharon did a great job at making me feel comfortable AND gave me a beautiful tan before my special event!
All in all, Ingrid’s is fabulous!

Still 5 stars! Ingrid’s is the only place I would ever go on the Peninsula for a tan. I’ve tried pretty much every tanning service available and have never been disappointed. Somehow even getting a butt-​naked airbrush tan here isn’t awkward.
The staff is friendly, professional, and remembers lots of little things that you tell them. Plus, the chocolate is still there.

Clean and modern tanning beds. Friendly staff with helpful advice. This place makes me look like I just went on vacation. Enough said. Oh… wait! They have candy bowls in all the tanning rooms!
Love coming here as it is a really inviting atmosphere and they have good prices.

Love this place. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, and the place is CLEAN always.
$ 35 for a Mystic spray tan (best price in the area) but now that I’m a regular I have the membership for unlimited tans.
Coming to Ingrid’s is my favorite part of the week.

I would give this place 6 stars if I could. I needed to get an airbrushed spray tan for a recent trip to Vegas, and searched around on Unilocal before making an appointment. I’m SO glad I went here! The place is extremely clean with a calming atmosphere. The owner discussed color options with me upon arriving and recommended the perfect shade for my skin color. She also went over all the details of how long to wait before showering after the tan, what skin products not to use, etc…
I felt extremely comfortable during the whole process, which is surprising given that you have to strip down completely in front of a total stranger. Before she began she applied a barrier cream to my hands and feet as well as a «pre-​spray» to help deepen and even out the spray tan. During the spray tan, she directed me to stand in various positions and she took her time to make sure there were no missing spots. Before finishing she had me check to make sure it was the color I was hoping for, and the whole process took about 15 minutes! She was super chatty and friendly during the spray tan, which helped with the potential awkwardness of it all =)
I got so many compliments throughout my vacation on how bronzed and tan I looked (it was so real looking that people were surprised that it was a spray tan!). It lasted evenly for a full 7 days. I will come back here for all my future spray tan needs!

I needed to get an airbrush tan for my wedding, so I turned to Unilocal (of course) for recommendations (thanks fellow Unilocalers!). I was a bit hesitant to try it out, since I was concerned how it would turn out (i.e., whether it would look fake, or whether I would look orangey, or whether it would smear, etc.), but I am so happy that I decided to go with Ingrid’s. I now won’t go anywhere else.
Ingrid’s is as everyone describes it – AMAZING. Service, professionalism and cleanliness is top notch here. Sharon, the owner, took the time to go over the tanning process and products with me, and made me feel so comfortable even though I had to bear everything in front of her. She also took the time to go over my color options and even told me that she would go light at first, and then we’d stop to see whether I wanted to go darker. The result: a very glowy and tan-​perfect bride. Added plus: the tan stayed on for about 2 ½ weeks even though it was only supposed to last about 1 week.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TANNING SALON! THANK YOU SHARON AND STAFF!

Early-​bird special for spray tanning is amazing! SUPER fast & cheap, but also very clean!
Bi-​monthly regular!

Got an airbrush tan this morning, and so far it looks great! Considering that I had to strip down and show my wares to a complete stranger, I was made to feel at ease the whole time!
I’ve gotten airbrushed at other salons before, but this was the best experience yet. Sharon took the time to discuss what shade she thought would be best, offered disposable undies and sticky pads to wear on my feet (so that they wouldn’t get exposed to the color). She also took the time to apply lotion to my hands and feet, so that they wouldn’t take in too much color. I’ve always had trouble with these spots before, and it’s so nice that I don’t have to scrub it off this time!
I bought a package for two airbrush sessions that came with a bottle of color stay lotion that will help me keep my color longer, for $ 96 bucks. A very great deal, I thought!
I will be back soon, thanks so much ladies!
