    Newly renovated from old owners and looks AMAZING! Friendly staff and spotlessly clean.

    Sometimes being an active member of the Yelp! Community requires you to go places you wouldn't…read morenormally go...which explains why I recently went tanning. I figured I would try Sun City because they obviously have a sense of humor. I mean, seriously, they wouldn't name a place you go to make your skin darker after a symbol of apartheid injustice in South Africa unless you had a really twisted sense of humor right? It's not just ignorance...it's clever... Right? ...anybody? Anyway, I checked into booth four of their 11 booths because I saw on the Sun City Web Site that Karl Wolf tanned there (yes, THE Karl Wolf! cue the crickets). Karl must have felt a real connection with this place because of his song that Toto wrote called Africa and Sun City's aforementioned South African namesake. But I digress. Since this was my first tanning experience, the staff was helpful in telling me what to expect and what I should do. I put on those silly little goggles and before I knew it I was cooking...literally! A few minutes later I was out and feeling a little toasted. I can't say I'll be going back because I felt a little silly, but if you're into looking golden brown 24/7 this might be the spot for you. But the name is still awful.

    My own SPF habits and preference for the shade are an obvious foible to the whole tanning pitch. I…read morefigure my time scurrying from place to place during hot days is enough to provide the proper dose of Vitamin E, but you know... there was a time when I actually worked at a tanning salon. Its true-- I could never truly rep the industry in all authenticity, but it was a part-time job and I'm fairly certain my skin tone reminded clients of what they were trying to forget. Yes, this is the typical tanning salon scene. Handfuls of pretty girls with unnatural darkness flittering around, as radio music plays and beachy hues prevail. The beds seem to have gotten more advanced since my days as a working girl, with body conscious monstrosities to zip and zap you in 10 minutes flat. Of course, timing is determined on your skin tone-- the lighter you are, the shorter amount of time. Its a gradual build up, so from your first visit onwards, clients can increase their timing by 1-2 minutes each time. The girls see here seem to be bubbly and sweet, and properly inforcing the rules and restrictions of indoor tanning. With a long row of booths for bronzing, stand-up beds, and a spray tan option to boot, Sun City is as decent a spot as any other. This is a cosmological indulgence that will cost you a fair investment (lotion, extra sessions to start, etc) but some people love their tans.
