The Tidy Shoppe

Came in to get a spray tan and after looking at the results, They did not do a great job, should have known since it took less than 5 minutes to finish which should have taken at least 15 mins. ONE LEG IS LITERALLY DARKER THAN THE OTHER. SMH. Also, I specifically asked for a super dark tan and even my boyfriend who knows nothing about spray tans says I still look the same from the waist up.

Erica did my brows and she truly killed it. Those babies were in bad shape and she took her time to make sure she got them PERFECT! I made her job hard by coming in with unruly brows and she really saved the day. Thanks, Erica!

I got a wax done here and was really unsatisfied with it. I went home still extremely hairy. The wax itself was just done poorly. She clearly didn’t put the wax on everywhere, and when she did put the paper on to pull it she barely touched it down. I went home with wax still on my body.
The woman who gave me the wax seemed very distracted and in a HUGE rush. She was the only employee in the store at the time, and when someone else came into the store she opened the door and left me exposed to tell them she’d be with them soon. It was really uncomfortable.
Would recommend this shop for other things, but absoutely not a wax.
If you pay with cash you get a discount.

Erica, is great. I mixed up my appointment time yet she still took me :) love my color.

Hmmm I didn’t really like it. I felt as she didn’t really know what she was doping because she took a lot of hair w tweezers and I payed to have it down w threading. Which I know threading is the best for the small hairs way better than threading. I do understand sometimes tweezers are necessary but she really used it a lot. Way more painful.
The result was ok, I wasn’t super impressed.
But they are all very nice!!!

I recently moved to SF from SD, where there is a spray tan place on every corner.
To say the least, I have tried some baaaad tanning spots.
With that being said, having so very few tanning places up here, I was extremely nervous to go.
What are the odds I won’t turn orange?
Well, the odds were ever in my favor.
The Tidy Shoppe does an EXCELLENT job!
The girls who worked there were so nice and talkative and my tan looked amaaaazing for my birthday.
I’ve found a tan in a hopeless place!
Definitely recommend it and coming back for all future tanning needs :)

Nice staff, good work. Got a good spray tan although I was told I would be «given» a small amount of spray for touchup, it was actually $ 21… But I think these ladies do a great job and the ambience is really nice. I’m going back in a few weeks:)

Nice ambiance, great service, I got my first spray tan here and I love it. Definitely coming back again.

Awesome permanent eyebrow makeup by Tricia at The Tidy Shoppe! I really enjoyed my experience here. Tricia has a great eye for style — She created an eyebrow shape I fell in love with on her first suggestion! Of course, she was super patient too and made sure that I would really love my new brows. The process wasn’t too painful… She used a numbing gel and she gave me some tissue with lavender to sniff — So soothing! Thank you Tricia and the Tidy Shoppe! Also, thanks to Dottie Lux for the referral. I highly recommend the Tidy Shoppe for your permanent makeup needs. They are the best!

This place really is as good as it gets. Ridiculously cute shop and fantastic service. The only place I’ll go to get a spray tan. No tan lines, always looks natural, and I receive a lot of compliments from friends each time!

I’ve been here a handful of times, and this is, honestly, the ONLY place I’ll go to get waxed. The Tidy Shoppe is super clean, and Tricia (the owner) is incredibly friendly. Brazilians are supposedly a painful service to get, but here they provide you with a numbing spray to help dull the pain (I’m a huge crybaby when it comes to pain, and it really isn’t THAT bad at all). Also, Tricia moves really fast and talks to you during the actual waxing so that helps keep your mind off the fact that hair is violently being ripped from your sensitive parts. This place is the best!

Tricia «beats around the bush with ease» Gillespie hits brows and whiskers like she’s a mid bout boxer, but with the grace of a princess. I have delicate flower skin and have never gotten ingrowns or other complications from any of her services.
I walked out with baby skin and a golden glow -& some great gifts (not to sound like a yokel but my handmade pheasant earrings are a hit in the big apple!) — all of the product in the shop is top notch.
My only suggestion is open a Tidy Shoppe Easte soon because the commute to the shoppe in SF is ruff for me

I’m always skeptical of the nail/​waxing combo shops so I was thrilled to stumble upon Tidy Shoppe, where I’ve been going for about a year (maybe 1.5 years) for their bikini wax services.
In the past year or so they’ve expanded their offerings to also include tanning, but the owner, Tricia, does all of the waxing herself to maintain her high standard of service.
She’s really fast when it comes to waxing, but in my opinion that’s preferable since it’s still painful regardless of who does it or how frequently you get waxed. She is thorough, friendly, and the setup of the room makes you comfortable and relaxed.
It’s prices are fair; definitely cheaper than fancy spa-​type places, and more than the combo nail/​wax/​everything salons that are everywhere.
If you’re looking for a high-​quality waxing place, check this place out. It also has some awesome vintage clothes and is nicely decorated; well worth the trek from other parts of the city if you don’t live/​work in the Richmond.

The Tidy Shoppe is my go-​to spray tan spot in San Francisco. Found this place right when it opened since its down the street from my house and have alway had great tans. Although pretty pricey — spray tans are not something you want to skimp on. Tricia is both fun and professional. She makes you feel comfortable and does a super quick but thorough job on the tan each time. The tans also last incredibly long.
(pro tip: I think they have a groupon out for a $ 25 dollar tan for new customers!)

I recently started going to the Tidy Shoppe for spray tans and waxing services and was very impressed by their services for both. I had been going to Stript in the Marina, but I love supporting local Richmond spots. The staff is very friendly and professional.
The spray tan application took about 5 – 10 minutes and lasted for about a week and a half. I received multiple compliments on my even tan. I will definitely be going back for a spray tan so I can look glowing as a bridesmaid. The waxing was quick and painless as a wax can be (about 15 minutes).
I am happy to have the Tidy Shoppe in the neighborhood!

I have had a spray tan from both Erica and Tricia here, and I must say 5 stars all the way!
I’d driven by Tidy Shoppe a hundred times and was always intrigued by the style of the shop. One day I finally decided to search it on Unilocal and had to go see for myself.
Easy bookings online for an appointment. All services are clearly defined so no surprises once you get to the shop. A few clicks and my first spray tan was booked.
Love the décor inside. Cute gifts and vintage clothing that any gal would like. I was warmly greeted and made to feel extremely comfortable my entire stay.
I am sure I don’t need to explain how wonderful it is to be welcomed and made comfortable when you have to strip naked in front of a stranger spray tanning you. I was at ease and confident when I left with my newly bronzed skin.
Erica and Tricia are pros, and my tan is beautiful and natural looking. My skin will thank my later for the SPF 50 I always wear, and I thank Tidy Shoppe for my bronzed and glowing skin.

Popped by this cute little shoppe. Had Erica perform a spray tan on me. Usually not into going darker with the skin tone but heading to the springs this weekend and needed a little something. Erica made me glowy golden and not blorange. Keep getting compliments from everyone on my glowing appearance. She explained things for me since I am not an experienced spray tannnnner.
I also bought some love palo santo, super cute vintage dresses and a love potion book. Obsessing over this spot.

Tricia is amazing!
She totally bailed me out when my make up artist had to cancel last minute before my wedding. Everyone’s make up turned out beautiful and was done on time. Tricia is super professional and personable. She was also super patient, things can get a little hectic the morning of a wedding.
I also got a spray tan and it turned out great, no lines! The color was perfect.
Thank you, Tricia!

I came to The Tidy Shoppe for a pre-​Coachella spray tan and I thought it was just an A-​OK experience. The shop is adorable and I loved the ambiance, however, the owner who sprayed me gave off a very snarky vibe.
Here’s what I liked about my experience.
+ I was running a bit late to my appointment and the receptionist was super nice and chill about it. No shade thrown my way for walking in 10+ minutes late!
+ Loved that they sell products from local businesses.
+ I bought a really good deal from Groupon
What I didn’t like.
— My initial conversation with the owner.
Owner: What color do you want for your tan?
Me: Mmmm. I’m not sure, I just don’t want to turn orange.
Owner: Well I don’t carry any orange color solutions here.
I found that response to be a little snarky. I don’t think any spray tanning business stocks orange solutions purposely, but they just sometimes turn orange on the skin! Also, the question is such an open ended question to begin with. If she wanted a specific answer, it would’ve been helpful if she had presented some options. I don’t work in the spray tanning industry, so unfortunately, I don’t know the names of the colors. After I mentioned Coachella, she immediately suggested that she knew the shade for me since many other Coachellers came in for tans.
— In hindsight, this is my own fault. I should’ve asked for one shade lighter than what everyone else was getting, but I ended up showering shortly after I got home because the solution became really dark on my skin. I’ve had many other spray tans before, so I have a general idea of what it should look like… and the color that it was turning did not look right.
— I found the reminder sign on the receptionist’s desk to tip off the original price, not the discounted rate to be a little tacky. Although I would’ve tipped off the original price even without the sign, I think tip should be determined by the customer.
I’m not sure that I’d come back to The Tiddy Shoppe. There are so many tanning options in SF, I think I could probably find another place that’s more suited for me.

I got the festival package, a tan, eyelash tinting, Brazilian, and eyebrow waxing. 3.5 stars. Not a bad experience, but I ended up with results I wasn’t happy with. Everything seemed rushed. It’s a lot to do in 45 minutes. I’ve done just one of these services in 30 at other places, so it seems there isn’t time for attention to detail.
The rundown:
Eyelashes: Looks nice, not sure I’d do it again. It burned and stained my eyelids. Was panicking a little about the burn and Tricia eventually let me know it was normal. Would have been nice to understand that up front.
Eyebrows: Disappointed. See the pic. They don’t belong on the same person. Looks like I’m raising an eye at all times. Had little time and lighting to review the work so didn’t notice till I got home.
San Franzilian: Good Brazilian. A few stray hairs, but no pain and very comfortable and quick process. However, we quickly moved to the next item in the package and I didn’t thoroughly review the results. Was a bit too much hair left over for me but didn’t know it till I got home.
Tan: Good. Thorough and took her time. Was the last part of the package so maybe there was extra time?
