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.

No waiting, no problems. I can call even an hour before I want to come in and my bed will be ready as soon as I get there! Their beds give me fantastic naturally dark looking color, I've used all their different types of beds, hard to pick a favorite! The rooms, waiting room, even the bathroom is always spotless! I feel confident in knowing that my bed has been properly cleaned by the staff after every tan! And now... the staff... are GREAT!

I went to the bathroom just with no issues, but when I came back the lady informed me that my bed had ran with a snarky tone. She didn't offer to start the bed again or offer any solutions to me missing my tan. I went back in my room assuming that I'd be able to still use the bed. I waited 10 mins and the bed didn't turn on. I finally got my clothes back on and asked if I could go back in and get the bed turned on for 5 mins. I didn't care if I had to use more tans because of going to the bathroom. She informed I came in late and that they're closed now. She said she would pass it along to a manager. I left covered in lotion and no tan. I'm super not happy. I need better customer service. I will be looking for a new tanning salon.

But all that has recently been changed by my fantastic experience with Mist Mobile Spray Tan. A group of us recently took the spray tanning for a test drive after meeting Elizabeth Burns, the owner and operator of Mist Mobile Spray Tan, at a wedding show earlier this year. She came to the house, set up all of her gear including a pop-up tanning tent, and then expertly applied the tan which lasts about a week-10 days. She is lovely and professional and does an excellent job of applying a very natural-looking tan. In less than 15 minutes I came out looking like I had spent a week in the Dominican. (And for a far more affordable price tag than a trip to the Dominican.) I have only good things to say about Elizabeth and Mist Mobile Spray Tan and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
