Sugar Society

Great experience here today! I didn’t know what the new business that had gone into this spot was. I live just 4 blocks away so it’s super convenient. I had tried to make a spray tan appt at my usual spot with 1 – 2 day’s notice and they had nothing open so I found Sugar Society on Unilocal.Setting my appt was quick and easy and I got an email after I hung up with my confirmation.
The girls, who I think are co-​owners, were very nice and are really focused on the customer experience. The color is even and just as I had requested in terms of how dark. Pricing is much better than the place on Union I was trying to go to, so this will be my new regular place. I’m mostly a before a trip where a bikini will be worn type of spray tanner, but given the price, ease and convenience of this spot, I should do it more often. Organic, too, which is great. I’ll be back!

Definitely my new go-​to! I had never been sugared before but they talked me through the whole process and put me at ease. They’re professional and sociable, and all around wonderful to work with.
In addition to the amazing staff, the facility is clean and chic — not sterile and scary. Very relaxing and comforting.
Can’t think of anywhere I’d rather go! Five stars all around.

First of all, who would ever wax again after sugaring?! Not me. Jennifer was amazing. It was easy and (mostly) painless! Far less than waxing! I could not endorse this service more! This was my first time ever after a terrible experience waxing years ago. They made me a believer all over again! :)

Love this place! Definitely my Go-​To for the perfect tan. They are so friendly, professional, and detail oriented. They customize every tan for you!
The space is clean and beautifully decorated.
Pricing is very reasonable.
Can’t wait to try sugaring here next!

I had never sugared before and my first time here was great! Jenny was so friendly and professional. It was a very comfortable experience and I am excited to go back.

I love this Sugaring salon. Feel very comfortable and very efficient, well ran business. Sugaring technique is the best. Parking is a bit challenging, but well worth it. Should book during weekdays, if parking is an issue.

My usual tanning spot just closed, and with Halloween right around the corner, I needed to find a new spray tanning spot and fast! After reading the rave reviews for this place, I decided to give it a try. Online booking was super easy, and I was pleased to find availability, especially right before Halloween!
This was my first spray tan with an actual person as I’ve always just done the automatic booths. While the ladies were all very personable and professional, and the experience was not nearly as awkward as I had anticipated, my spray tan unfortunately didn’t turn out so well… I woke up this morning to find multiple streaks down both the backs of my legs/​thighs and the sides of my stomach. I’ve had many spray tans before so I know the rules (wait 7 – 8 hours to shower, don’t sweat, etc), and I followed them! The color also turned out too light, which I’m actually glad about now given the streak situation. Maybe this was just an off experience, but I’m pretty disappointed! Three stars since everyone was really friendly and the «spray experience» was comfortable, but max two for the actual tan results. Guess I’ll be incorporating tights into my Halloween costume.

Great service and professional results. I had a bikini, full leg and underarm sugaring done. The anti-​in-​grown bikini mask was wonderful. Looking forward to returning soon.

I love this place! I’d never been waxed or sugared before, and was referred to Sugar Society by a friend. The vibe is great, there are always drinks available while you wait (alcoholic and non-​alcoholic) and the bathroom is covered in gold, and I take selfies in it every time I’m there.
They do a stellar job sugaring and are down-​to-​earth and professional, without any pretentiousness or judgment. It’s such a relief to not have to maintain for 4 – 6 weeks between visits, and the results really can’t be beat. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have been following Jennifer now for awhile now and I love her. This place is decorated really nicely and is super laid back. Jennifer does amazing work I use to get waxed but she convinced me to try sugaring and now I’m in love. It’s just a more natural approach and it definitely leaves the skin much smoother than wax. I highly recommend this place! Ask for Jennifer! =)

Jennifer is amazing! Her warm personality and friendly disposition makes the visit so much more relaxing and her quick yet thorough sugaring/​waxing technique is the best I’ve found yet (including places in NYC and LA!). I highly recommend her services and the atmosphere of the Sugar Society.

New place, new review
I followed Nikki from Habit and she and Jenny from Salon Village. Great duo. Now they’re right off of Polk by starbucks so it’s so convenient to get in. Love the sugar braz — I can’t wax or shave I get too many ingrown hairs! AND I am so white since I live in San Francisco and putting on a dress is pretty embarrassing… So I get spray tans here at least before events but I like to do it before going on a trip too… wish I could do it once a week actually, could really improve my self esteem when summer hits. The color is organic and she does a great job, it’s always even. The decoration is rad and they brought in their own skin care, I highly recommend this place!

Had a full body tan. Such a cute little place, and great that they help you out with deals like: Check In for $ 10 off, etc. Means a lot to people who want the tan but don’t want to spend the dollars! Nice that they offer wine (may take them up on this next time), and could be a cute place to go with girlfriends to get a tan or wax for a special occasion.
I had a great tan that lasted over a week without awkward fading. Super comfortable room and they make you feel really at ease.
Afterwards, I wish I’d asked for a slightly darker color, and for the tan to be a bit more liberally applied to arms and legs, but not bad for the first time, I’ll just ask for a bit more next time.
It takes barely any time to apply, which is great, but it would be awesome if there was a stand up fan to dry off with afterwards. Although they insist it dries immediately, I definitely felt like a few minutes in front of a fan, or with a hairdryer, would’ve helped a lot.
Will definitely be back though, thanks!

I’ve followed Jennifer around for a few years now and I have to say she is THE BEST! She does a fantastic job waxing & is a miracle worker in turning my pale skin brown again during the foggy season. Love her!

It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me yeah
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me
ouh
And I’m feeling SMOOOOOTH.
Thanks Jenny and Nycole.

These girls are the best! I get sugared by Nycole, and I’m obsessed. It is way less painful, and my hair barely grows back. I go in every couple of weeks. The space is super cute, and the girls always make me feel so comfortable! Thank you ladies for always making me feel welcome, and beautiful!

This is by far the BEST place to go for a spray tan! I can’t believe I finally found a place that gives me a tan that looks so natural. The transition from my arms to my hands and my legs to my feet is seamless. This has always been a problem for me in the past at other salons. The solution did not get all over my sheets or clothes and it stays on much longer than other spray tans. I used Brown Sugar in the past and after so many disappointed tans I gave up hope on ever being tan again until I met the ladies at Sugar Society! I am so glad I gave it one more chance and now I will be getting tan much more often.
Trust me once you go here you will not go anywhere else!!! So glad they moved into my neighborhood!

I was lucky enough to book a last minute appointment to come in for a spray tan. I was hesitant trying a new place, but I’m SO glad I did. I usually go to organic shimmer, but they were booked. From now on I will be going to Sugar Society.
I love how thorough Nycole was. She made sure I had a hair net, and put cream on my nails (no other place has done that for me). She was also super friendly and asked me for feedback which I loved, because it gives the client the option to speak up if they feel the need to (which I didn’t, but it’s nice knowing you can).
My tan still looks so good and it’s been 5 days. All weekend I got endless compliments. The funny part was no one knew I had a spray tan. People said «your skin looks so great» «did you lighten your hair» «gosh you are glowing». All in all I love my spray tan & want to go back to try out other services!

I absolutely love this place! I have had a couple Brazilians & underarm sugars with Jennifer & she always does a great job. I have been waxing for 5 years & sugaring for 1 so I feel like a pro but Jennifer still checks in with me the whole time. I also had a spray tan & she did an excellent job! No streaks or drip lines & best of all I didn’t have to stand in one of those pesky spray tan tents (they suck when you are as tall as me). They have a cute little spray tan stand they made with french doors — ingenious!!!
I definitely recommend this place to anyone.

I get sugared by Nycole.
She is professional and friendly and a perfectionist when it comes to getting it exactly the way I want.
Her studio is in Salon Village, a conglomerate of beauty-​related salons. If you arrive after hours, you are buzzed in at the front door. Parking on the street is usually not so bad but if you find yourself circling around for parking during certain time of the day, you can park in Jackson Street parking lot.
Her studio is adorable and very cozy. I love the décor on the walls, the rich colors of the walls, and everything just feels so welcoming ad warm.
Oh and I think she sometimes offers wine, so if you are into a little extra pampering like that, it could be extra enjoyable!
