The owner reached out and apologized for the mishap which I really appreciate. I went back and was helped by Saidey. She was very helpful and explained everything in great detail, showed me how to use the bed and thoroughly explained the beds and packages. The room and bed were very clean and I like that they provide the little glasses for you. Signed up for a month. read more

I just moved to East County, and needed to get connected to a new tanning salon. Went to this one, and I'll never go to another. The staff is so welcoming and inviting, especially the owner Monica. Warning you will get dark! They have so many beds to choose from and so many affordable memberships. I love this tanning salon! Definitely recommend 10/10. read more

I originally decided I was a little to pale for a fitness shoot. So I decided to try out a tanning bed, since tanning in the sun takes forever. Despite past friends trying to convince me to come into their tanning bed location I never thought as a male I would. Call me ignorant or whatever may suite you. Upon my arrival there was a very welcoming yet professional feel, with very competitive prices. After seeing astounding results and becoming good friends with the amazing owner Monica and many of the other clientele/ surrounding employees, I have now been here for about 5 months and completely has changed my idea on tanning! It's a part of my day I look forward too. Whether you are greeted by Monica or Claire both will go above and beyond expectations. There is rarely a wait, as there are many beds but if you do catch yourself in a wait the other clients are always very friendly and carry great conversations along with them. If you see me feel free to strike up a conversation! read more

Black Onyx Tan - Tanning Beds Near Me - El Cajon, California

I finally went to Black Onyx today for the first time and I'm so happy I did. Jade helped me get started and she was very knowledgeable, helpful, and sweet. The place is really clean and you can tell the owner cares about her customers. The equipment is modern and new. The prices are very fair. And unlike other tanning salons that require you become a member and give them your credit card information, Black Onyx offers single time visits or packages you can buy outright without having to give them access to your bank account, which works best for me. I will definitely be back very soon and I highly recommend this tanning salon, especially if you live in the east county area. read more

The owner is so nice! She helped me out today. I hadn't ever used a bed before but she was knowledgable and took the time to explain everything to me. Very honest and cares about people that walk in through the door. The bed itself was very clean. Very private and comfortable area. They provide the eye things which is good. read more

I went for the first time before my trip beginning of June. Did the mystic tan because I'm so white... I got an even bronzed tan that lasted about 9-10 days and was not blotchy. I've used some mystic tans that left me looking like a zebra l, but here it was an even tan. I'm so happy I found one that I love read more

Very disappointed in this place. I was assured that I would see a tan, then no color at all.

Amazing tanning salon. Its hard enough to find a salon that actually has tanning beds these day but when I came a ross black onyx I was stoked!!!

Great customer service! I'm new to tanning and needed a lot of help. Monica you as so patient with me and walked me through the whole process. I ended up getting a monthly membership and got a really good deal. I've already been twice since signing up! The salon is clean and modern. Highly recommend! read more

Nice people and clean place! Only downside is I had a question after I left, and I didn't get a call back after I left a message.

This place is awesome! The atmosphere is welcoming from the people that come in & the open area to relax for a moment before getting in the bed or after finishing a tan. This place is always clean and being sanitized frequently with everyone coming in to get a good bronze on! I've gotten great results in just a few sessions read more

This place is clean & the owner is friendly and extremely knowledgable .Its hard to find a tanning salon with quality beds these days so was a great surprise . read more

Great place! Great lady! Great service! You'll love this place for your tanning needs.

Called twice today just to get information on tanning packages, both times The phone was answered unprofessionally, The first time they hung up on me, The second time, They just answered with a "hello" And when I asked " hello is this black onyx?" They just answered with... "Who is this?" I was just trying to get some package information.. this is a rather rude telephone etiquette. It does not reflect upon quality customer service, Even if a business is extraordinarily busy at the time.. The phone could be answered in a better manner. I will choose a different tanning facility. read more

Amazing Business! From the cleanliness to the friendliness and knowledge of the staff. Being someone with paler skin I definitely needed not just tanning but direction on how and what beds with the right bulbs i should use... well this place has all the best beds but also the staff was patient and knowledgeable enough to go over everything with me so i could finally achieve a great tan based on my skin tone!!!! I appreciate a business that makes me look and feel better, well black onxy did just that. Thank you!!! read more

She also carries a ton of the best lotions which aren't over priced which is great!!! Now let's talk about the beds...if you want to get dark and look like you seriously just came back from cabo then go see Monica.... Her beds are all so strong even the level 1 gets me so dark !!

Monica is amazing. Friendly/knowledgeable staff, great service and pricing. Can't ask for more. Highly recommend.

Well this was my first time ever doing a spray tan and I'm so skeptical about it now after this experience. I called and asked about the spray tans, they were priced for 25$ since it was on their instagram for a deal. I figured might as well try since I've heard such good things about spray tans and saw this place in particular was close to my house with good reviews... I arrived and the lady who worked there was incredibly sweet and kind. She went and set up the machine (I thought they were by hand but that was my fault for not clarifying prior to arrival) but I figured why not? How hard could it be? I was walked back to the room to get the run down as I told her I'm a visual person and wanted to know what to press to start. She mentioned they were out of sticky pads for feet but that I could use a towel if I wanted. I put my hair net on and stepped in. I then noticed there were not any directions on how to stand... I was to late since I already pressed the button. So I quickly jumped out after maybe 15 seconds of spray and called for help. She came back and told me "I don't really know the positions because I only work here on Tuesday's. Give me a second please" then comes back and tells me she googled how to stand in the machine and shows me a few different positions... so I asked if we could restart it now that I somewhat know how to stand. She attempted to start it and it wouldn't restart so here I am standing here in my bra and underwear with a spray down each side of my body and brown dripping down my leg. It was incredibly inconvenient and even though I'm body positive it was not ideal to be there like that... so I'm now soaking in the tub as I type this trying to get the color off of me that looks like I had multicolored skin dripping on my body. I did get a refund and get told to come back the following day to see Monica (owner I believe) but I'm so appalled at the service I received I'm scared to go back. I even went and got more sugar scrub from target in hopes to get this off (recommended by another tan place that I called after the horrific experience I had) so ladies do your research and always make sure the employees have the knowledge needed so you're not walking out like me. read more

Loved the owner and her knowledge! Very kind lady who makes sure you get the best service for you skin type.

Best tanning salon in the city. Monica is the sweetest person and she makes sure you sign up for what you need. Her prices are great and she definitely is the cleanest. She is always making sure not only the area is clean but the beds are always clean as well. Not to mention it is beautiful in here and her lotions are bomb! So glad I found this salon as a gem much better than my previous and I will be sticking here from now on. I even brought my sister and two friends and they're just as obsessed as I am. read more
