    I previously wrote a not so great review about the fact they would not allow me to spray tan…read morebecause it was too late, even though they were still open. Since then the manager, Kate has reached out to me and apologized. She made it clear that would not happen again, and used it as a training lesson for her employees. The fact that they took the time to go into their system and look up my phone number instead of just writing a generic response is impeccable customer service. I totally understand that if you show up five minutes before close and expect to have a 20 minute service that is taking advantage, but she understands that was not what I was trying to do. I am super impressed with how they handled thisl M Oh'An M Oh y Lk

    I recently purchased a really good deal online last January 2012 for a facial for my daughter and…read moreI. We arrived to the salon not really knowing what to expect because I had never heard of the Copper Zone before. When I walked in I was a little nervous because it is a tanning salon not a normal "salon" where you would get facials, and treatments. Meredith came out and greeted us and I was even more nervous as she had sweatshirt and jeans on, not typical esthetician professional smocks. She then walked us into a little room, which was probably used for a tanning bed before facials were offered. The room was not a typical, salon type room. It was very bare and not esthetically pleasing for a soothing, pamper yourself, type of treatment. Meredith was very friendly though and started by shaping our eyebrows. She listened to what we wanted and delivered very well. We were both happy with our eyebrows. She then did the facial for my daughter while I waited. Then it was my turn. Once she started and I closed my eyes I forgot I was not in a nice salon. She did an amazing job. Very relaxing and thorough. Meredith had high standards because my sister is an esthitician so I know what a great facial feels like. I was very pleased and would highly recommend Meredith for facials. Her normal prices are very reasonable. I think if you can look past the fact that this is a tanning salon and not a spa, you will find a diamond in the rough with Meredith.

    Horrible customer service, especially on the management's part…read more I started the introductory package in March where it came with one conventional bed and two super beds. The conventional bed was uncomfortable and small. The super beds are larger in size and variety. A few weeks later, I purchase a super bed special for the month and was able to stand up or lie down. Since then, I have not tanned. Well, I came in and purchased their 10 conventional bed special for June; 10 sessions for $35. Little did I know that all the conventional beds are the same size, unlike the super beds. The reason why I'm explaining the beds is to prove a point. I have a D size chest and when I lay down in the conventional bed, my chest and my face are touching the top glass. When I flip over, the top of my head and my ass are on the glass. It is both uncomfortable and unpleasant to lay down for 20 min like this. I requested a refund and they denied me. When I asked to speak with the manager, I was told I would receive a phone call back. After not receiving a call, I came back the second day and was told again that a manager would call me. I even checked to make sure my phone number was taken down correctly. Now, day 3, I come in and the worker says she spoke with the manager and she said because I already knew what a conventional bed felt like from the introductory package in March, she would not do anything for me. I'm sorry. What? How am I supposed to know all the conventional beds are the same when I only used it one time prior. I've used different super beds that varied in size and time. Had a manager actually called me instead of playing this game with the associates here, I may have been more prone to leaving a better rating but since nothing was done on their part, 1 star it is. I'd have to say they need better communication, customer service and management skills. After my 10 sessions are done, I will NOT be back. And I do not recommend this place for anyone with a big head, large chest or any body part that is bigger than a 12 year old child.

    I've been using this tanning salon for the past month to get ready for my upcoming wedding. I'm…read morepretty new to tanning salons, well let's be honest I'm a complete noob. I came in with very little knowledge on the types of tanning beds, UVA vs UVB rays, and the overall process... basically how does I get the tanness? The girl working that day was very kind and polite though she didn't have a ton of information for me. I chided myself for not doing my own research prior and took the information she gave me on their different tanning bed options and did a little online searching. After reading some literature on UV damage I determined that upgrading the bed was in my best interest. She was great about transferring my Groupon to the upgraded bed Groupon and explaining to me how to use the tanning bed. The times I've been back the other individuals that have checked me in have been friendly and helpful. The facility and tanning beds seem to be kept really clean and I have enjoyed the features of both the platinum and a once upgraded diamond bed. Overall seems like a pretty clean and friendly place to tan in Washington state since we never see the actual sun.

    I opened a membership on April 28th. The first time I was left in a tanning bed on the maximum cook…read moretime was May 14th, then again on May 19th, and yet again on August 12th. I had requested 9-10 mins on a 15 min bed. The last time was the worst because I had managed to fall asleep, unlike the first 2 times. In approximately 3 1/2 months this happened 3 times. The incompetence is astronomical. The only thing you need to be good at is setting the time on the bed and cleaning them between uses. Otherwise, this facility would be self serve. The one positive thing I would like to add because this is not personal, it that the ladies who work here are lovely, inviting and personable. The customer service isn't lacking. If you want to be involuntary burned, you should definitely go tanning here. Do not give this business your money. (Side note: I was able to verify with a part time gal who was quitting, that you can see all of this when you review my history in my account).

When I asked about a less expensive lotion, they laughed. The entire staff gave off a mean girl attitude and made the whole experience uncomfortable. I won't be coming back, and I'd recommend going to literally any other tanning salon. This was easily the worst tanning salon experience I've ever had.

    The manager of this establishment is a total mean girl and on a power trip. She was very…read moredisrespectful to my friends and I. Very blunt and rude, horrible customer service. According to her you must be 18 to get a spray tan or have parental consent by signature. Even though we had already gotten a spray tan there last year and her employees did not ask for a parental signature. I asked if this was a new policy because I was confused due to us not having this issue last year. She replied "No I've been the manager for 8 years" with no further explanation or customer service and a rude tone. So clearly she does not train her employees correctly and make sure they are following the law. When I went into another location later that evening with my mother to sign the form the lady there told me that the manager from this location had written a note on my account saying I had attitude and to make sure I had parental permission before spraying. Completely unprofessional behavior on her part and dramatized our interaction because I was not rude to her just confused and looking for clarity. I will never go back to this location and I advise others not to as well. The tumwater location had fabulous customer service, very friendly, good communication skills and helpful. If I could, I would rate 0/5 stars. Mean manager!! Very disappointed :((
