My fav

by JennaNikki6 at Citysearch

This place is spectacular. I always tell all my friends to go here because it is not a crappy little tanning salon where they take your money and you get burned. It looks like a day spa inside, free body sprays on the beds, hair ties, awesome. I have a lifestyle package and can go every single day in level 1 and other days i can pay a reduced fee to use the higher beds. I have done this for a while and I have been able to maintain my tan for a long time for almost nothing compared to other salons. I've been to twin city tan where you pay like $8 to use their "high powered" bed and barely got tan (except my face felt like someone was pouring lava on it for some reason??) and those $8 a visit add up to a lot on my budget at the end of the month. But since I've been going here...I AM SO BROWN AND STILL HAVE COFFEE MONEY...YAY.

  • Pros: Everything
  • Cons: um... there are none?

great place

by ag1130 at Citysearch

ive tanned at both the wellesley and davis square location and i really liked it. They both have amazing beds that give you a really great tan in a short amount of time. when you first go you might think the prices are kind of high but it all averages out in the end b/c you dont have to go as often to keep your tan so its diffently work it and it would recommend these salons to anyone who wants to get a great natural looking tan in not time

HIGH QUALITY TANNING!

by mercedes84 at Citysearch

This place feels like an exclusive salon lol

It is so clean and the beds are spotless. I pay under $20 a month to get unlimited tanning with the option to upgrade whenever I feel like treating myself. They also have the NEWEST MYSTIC machine. It talks to you!! Some of the beds also talk to you!!! I urge anyone who is looking for a high quality tan to check out this place, I promise you will not be disappointed!!!

  • Pros: Super clean, high quality beds and lotions, friendly staff

every type of bed for every price range

by dan85 at Citysearch

i go here to tan from time to time.

very nice girls, although most look like playboy bunnies, except for that spicy rican lol.

a lot to choose from and place is very clean.

even the cheapest bed is an upgrade compared to other salons.

oh yea, because of that stupid sign outside i subtracted one star.

  • Pros: very clean, nice staff, not crowded, latest beds
  • Cons: some are bit pricey, that stupid sign

Great Customer Service with a Smile :)

by hallep at Citysearch

The cutest curly haired little girl signed me up. She showed and explained all the beds and the pricing and seemed so happy to do it! I will say it is a bit expensive but the place is well maintained and the beds look all up to date. I had a great experience and will probably buy another package. Also, there is no pressuring, they work with your budget and simply advise you on the best way to tan according to what you want to get out of it, so each person is different.

I encourage potential customers to just walk into the place because my experience was totally different than the other reviewers.

  • Pros: Customer Friendly, Informative
  • Cons: Pricing

*FAVORITE* tanning ever!!!!

by xolinze at Citysearch

I've been goin to the wellesley location in Linden sq for almost a year. most of the staff is friendly, knowlegeable when there is no line, and almost all of them will be honest with you(e.g. tell you what lotions they like and what beds should be used for how long etc). After tanning here I wouldn't tan anywhere else. Always clean. The prices are best when you get the $20 unlimited level 1 monthly plan. all you pay is an upgrade for each bed. The upgrade prices are reasonable because the beds are such good quality. I <3 level 5!! =]

  • Pros: always clean, free parking, friendly staff, new equipment
  • Cons: single visits a lillte pricey

high school kids run this joint

by berensaat at Citysearch

wow, this place regularly opens at least 2 hours late. it is soooo disorganized, the staff has some major attitude problems, they rarely answer the phone, the lines get VERY long 4 no reason, and nearly everything they advertise is a scam - there is an exception 2 EVERYTHING. Please be cautious!!!!!

  • Pros: they got 2 good beds
  • Cons: VERY EXPENSIVE!! disorganized, few beds, long lines, attitude and pressure from staff

We terminated this employee for opening the salon late twice. Our "Best of Boston, Best of New York, and Top 250 salons in the Nation" awards speak for themselves. Decide for yourself, please accept our invitation to come in and tan with us for 3 Tans for $3 by mentioning this review.
