This is a cautionary tale about trusting the staff here. It's got great beds and cheap prices, but the staff doesn't care about you at all. I am assuming that they want to get you burned so that you don't come in for your tanning packages at this point.
I have been going here for 3 years. I have always blindly trusted the staff. Out of the 4 month long packages I purchased over three years, I have only been there to tan less than 10 times. This is because my usual experience goes like this:
I walk in full of moxy and enthusiasm. "This month, i'm going to do it right!" I say to myself. I walk in. I buy a month long membership for 20 or 30 dollars with their awesome student discount. I ask the lady at the counter "hey, how long do you think I should go in for? I'm pretty pale." at this point, she goes into a trance, and consults her star charts in her memory mansion, sees where Mars aligns with Jupiter, subtracts it by 3, and doubles it if it's under 10. That is how good she is at telling you how long to go in for.
I have been going here for 3 years on and off and have bought month long memberships 4 times. Over these four months of memberships over 3 years, I have only been able to tan approx. 10 times. Because every single time I go in, I ask the same girl at the counter "how long do ya think I oughta go in for?" and she sets me up for what she thinks is right.
Every time I walk out feeling great.
Every time I end up looking like I got stranded naked in the desert for a week.
So here I am, on the first day of my month long membership, burned again on my first day after 7 minutes in the strongest type booth.
She saw my blonde hair and green eyes. She saw how pale I was in the dim basement light. She gave me 7 minutes, which was twice more than I could take. 4 hours later, red as a beet, my night is ruined, I hope my week isn't.
Thanks, whats-her-name, just continue to talk to that really bronze old dude. read more
