great tan!

by RCAN20

Im not a pro when it comes to airbrush tanning, but i have to say this was just very easy and the color was great! I read some reviews and while some i thought were ridiculous, it did raise some concern, I emailed Natalie to get some info and she got back to me right away. She made me feel completely comfortable during my experience and my color came out so natural, my friends couldnt believe it was'nt real. I will definately go back!

Very Unprofessional

by tlm15

I decided to try Sundara at the recommendation from a colleague at work. She suggested I send an email to the manager requesting an appointment, as that is how I'd most likely get a response, which I found weird because normally, I would just make a phone call, and also because I didn't think the tanning industry was really in a position to be selective, given the state of the ecomomy these days.

I emailed the manager asking for an appointment on Thursday, and 24 hours + later she came back saying she was booked. I replied asking about Wednesday, and she eventually came back and offered two time slots, 4:30 and 5pm. I responded that I would take the 5pm appointment, and also mentioned I'd never had a airbrush tan before, and asked what people generally wear for the airbrush. I didn't hear back from her.

Five or six days later it was time for my appointment and when I got there she told me I was not in the book. She started scrambling through emails on her mobile device and said, oh, I never confirmed with you. I reminded her of the back and forth I mentioned above, and she said, yes, you said 5pm and then you wrote this whole long email (I guess they don't like to inform new customers or answer any questions about their business) but I never sent you an email that said "All Set." and then she tried to show me an email on her blackberry to another customer. I told her that I know what an email that said "All Set" would look like, so she didn't have to show me, but what I didn't know, as a new customer, is that if she offers me a time slot and I accept, how that didn't make an appointment. She told me that the time slot I accepted was taken by the time I accepted (I'm sure this was either latency or lack of coordination on her side). I asked her if, in that case, she thought it would have been appropriate for her to respond and let me know that the appointment was no longer available. She didn't have much to say to that.

All in all, I cannot review the tan, but I would steer clear of this place if you value your own time, money, and have an appreciation for customer service and professionalism.

No more sun for me

by K Sax

I went to sundara to get spray tanned for my wedding. My goal was to not be dark, but not pasty in my gown. I am usually very pale and had an October wedding. I had the most natural glow. Aside from my very close friends, who know how pale I really am, nobody knew that I got a fake tan. Natalie was incredible. She has worked with many brides before and really helped me. I actually found out about Sundara from citysearch, and have been spreading the word to everyone I know.

GREAT TAN!!

by Hunter29

This tanning salon, although it is not cheap i think it is worth it.

Leaves a great glow, if you moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!!!! it will last a good 10 days. The place itself is nicely decorated, clean and the technician is very professional and knows what she is doing!!!

• Pros: leaves you with a nice glow.
• Cons: pricey.

Basking in the Glow of Sundara

by jframer22

I'm from the U.K. and recently visited New York, where I had a splendid time, thanks in part to this little gem of a tanning salon, which made me look breathtaking and a lot thinner. :) I researched the tanning places before my trip, booked an appointment at Sundara, and was very pleased with the results. I received lots of compliments. My color was absolutely right, and no issues with streaking or fading. The service was excellent and I also purchased the body butter, which smells delicious. highly recommended . . .

• Pros: color, service, atmosphere

By far the best airbrush tan around

by Elt1988

I had been to several airbrush tanning salons before finding Sundara, and I can confidently say that it is by far the best of any that I have been to. Natalie is truly amazing! She is an expert technician and makes clients feel at ease from the moment that they walk in the door. After a Sundara airbrush tan people always ask me where I went on vacation, and I find that I even look slimmer and more toned. Sundara is the best tanning salon in the city, and I cannot reccomend it enough!

OUTSTANDING!

by Elainetoo

Nathalie is the reason to make a visit! A total professional, warm and friendly, Nathalie goes above and beyond for her clients. The tan is amazing and natural, a look I just cannot get on my own bring incredibly fair skinned. I highly recommend Sundara, and Nathalie!!!

• Pros: A great tan, applied by a Master Technician, Nathalie!
• Cons: no cons, except parking is tricky, but its worth the trip.

Great experience!

by ncgirlinnyc

Being very fair skinned, I rarely go in the sun anymore and definitely have plenty of sunscreen on hand. I have a wedding to go to and wanted some color. I have done both mystic and had the "airbrush" and am a fan of both.

My experience at Sundara was fantastic. I was a little concerned about the color, that it wouldn't be too dark for me, but it looks great, much better than a Mystic tan.

Natalie was great. She explained the process and told me the do's and don'ts for caring for my tan.

I am extremely please with the results and highly recommend.

My only complaint would be that I purchased a ten session package, there was an offer to receive a free product with a five session package, but not the ten. That seems a little unfair, but doesn't make me want to rate the experience less than the five stars Sundara deserves.

• Pros: Knowledgeable staff, clean facilities, no pressure to buy products

The best in NYC and USA!

by tanaholic79

Sundara is absolutely amazing. The color here is as close to natural as you can get. I am very fair skinned and have tried many sunless products, booths, and airbrushings and this place beats them all. Natalie, the technician, is fantastic and has a great personality. She will make you feel very comfortable and will adjust the level of DHA and thickness applied to you. She knows exactly what she is doing. The place is also very clean and contemporary. Don't listen to any negative reviews posted....I know my tanning and this place does it right.

• Pros: Great color, fast, great service, clean, modern space.
• Cons: none

Clean, professional, skilled

by smllms

Very well designed, price competitive spray tan spa. Best I've been to in the city. Heated drying room (brilliant). Fantastic lighting. Clean. Highly skilled technician. I'm the whitest woman in NYC and have been disappointed by previous spray tans I've gotten. Not so here. Got the lightest shade possible and I looked naturally sunkissed and not a streak in sight. Can't praise this place enough. Do not wear underwear and wear a super loose black dresss home with no bra. You won't be sorry!

• Pros: Clean/Skilled/Comfortable
• Cons: None
