“Sarah is incredibly skilled. She is the best at diagnosing what your skin needs to look it’s best. She uses quality affordable products not to mention she did an amazing job with my teens acne. Every time I go on vacation I stop in for a spray tan. Will keep going here the rest of my life and I have been to a lot of other esthetician“

“Heather accepted my appointment with very little notice. I really, really needed some pampering and I wanted her to give me the works! And she did. I hadn't had a facial in decades. I had no idea how high-tech it had become! She applied a 24k gold mask (super luxurious), gave me an oxygen treatment, and used microcurrents), all with lovely serums and peptides, and I don't even know what else! She was so kind and knowledgeable and she sent me off with a kit of trial size products. I'll definitely be back. I felt 100% better than I did when I walked in. Highly recommend...A++++!“

“I've got moderate psoriasis. More than ten years ago and my dermatologist suggested I try a tanning salon for help controlling my symptoms. Psoriasis is an auto immune disorder and there's lots of drugs available to threat it. They're advertised on TV every night. However all those drugs basically work the same way, by damaging the immune system, mostly the T cells and there's many potential side effects. For moderate to severe psoriasis the drugs are probably a good option, but there's real risks. Before modern drugs, the only way to control psoriasis was by exposure to UV rays. Dermatologists still offer UV treatments in their clinics. UVB rays are the most helpful for psoriasis. At Rio Tanning I use a bed that has 70% UVA rays and 30%UVB rays. I recently had my yearly checkup with my dermatologist and he confirmed that for this is the best way for me to treat my psoriasis. Rio Tanning is a clean pleasant place to spend a few minutes and I look better with a tan. Greg95076“

“My favorite tanning salon in Santa Cruz! I've been to a few here in town and have frequented several in the LA area, this is still my favorite salon of all I've been to. They've got reasonably great prices, not as exuberant admittedly as some salons which have ridiculously high prices at. It's a really nice, spacious and clean space with plenty of beds to pick from (lay down, stand up, Red Light Therapy etc). The staff is always present and really friendly, I've gone enough times that the ones who I interact with often usually know my name & what beds I prefer as soon as I step into the door. Love this place, and always happy to come back.“

“I sent here a few years ago for a spray tan and it was great. I recently went here just to start getting a base tan. So far they have been great it is always very clean and quiet in here.“
