She was such a professional and so good at what she does. The cost is very reasonable and she doesn't push any products on you, but has lotions available if you need it. I really appreciated that. I had a wedding I was standing up in, in two days, and she worked around my crazy schedule, no problem. With the color of the bridesmaid dresses, I felt I definitely needed more color than I had and was planning on running to the tanning bed a few times, if I was even going to have time, but am so glad I didn't. I don't think I'll ever use a tanning bed again. This looks so natural and saves your skin! I got a lot of compliments from the other bridesmaids too!

If you're a newbie, make sure to get the instructions from her on the do's and don't's. After that she'll walk you through the process, which she makes super simple and comfortable. The color is always right, looks natural, and even when it starts to fade (for me after a solid 7-10 days, or if you're really good you can stretch it to 14 days), it still looks pretty good. I always go to her before big events, but ESPECIALLY for my spring wedding this year- after a long yucky winter- the spray tan was on point! THANKS KELLEY!

SO NICE AND HELPFUL!…read more After visiting another tanning saloon close to my house and coming here I am shocked at the difference! The staff at Club Soleil is very knowledgeable. They helped me pick out the right bed, gave me instructions for how to increase or decrease my time next time I tan, told me about showering and moisturizing after. The beds are great and they even give you a towel, CANDY and googles for your tanning session. Love this place I will be back!

I was a tanorexic throughout my teens and early 20s so I have seen my fair share of tanning salons…read more I auditioned Zip Tanz on Woodward but was put off by their crappy packages (can't buy 10 or 20 sessions only month to month.Ummmm what?) as well as their bad customer service. I don't tan regularly (or really at all ) anymore and have learned to embrace the pasty. I went strictly because my boyfriend and I are going to the Bahamas in a couple weeks and I didn't want to spend any of our getaway locked inside the hotel room beet red and convinced I was dying of heat stroke. This may or may not have happened to me before. ;) My boyfriend came along with me and I convinced him to get a base tan too. He has never tanned indoors in his life and his heritage is Norwegian and Irish so he's basically so pale he glows in the dark. When we went the first time we interacted with John (the owner) who was super friendly and explained everything really well. He really encouraged us to not overdo it and explained the "science" behind tanning. My boyfriend is a physician so anytime anyone starts on bogus health claims he knows better. John had him at "melanocyte." ;) The packages are very affordable and they offer a ton of different packages based upon what you need. A good variety of beds and I am seeing results quick. My boyfriend has not burned which is saying a lot and is building a decent base color. The salon itself is nothing fancy though if you ask me it doesn't need to be. That cost is always shifted to the customer. The salon is clean, there are mirrors and candy in every room and free goggles to use. These seem like no brainers but I have been to plenty of tanning places that didn't care about the little things. Great value, great experience.

Been tanning here for a few months now and I love it! The high pressure bed is amazing and they carry a variety of tanning lotion and face lotions. They run a lot of cool specials too, like tandem tanning tuesday's where you can bring in a friend to tan at your package level for free. They also run different promotions every Thursday. Sometimes it's a lotion discount or upgrade promos. Definitely my new favorite tanning spot. read more

Because of this, I needed time between sessions to monitor how my skin reacted to the UV exposure. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that my sessions had a 10-day expiration window ending on April 27. During that time, I experienced significant burning with the level 5 UV, and I had hoped to try the level 6 session I still had remaining to see if it would produce a similar reaction. Given the circumstances, I'd really appreciate the opportunity to use my final session rather than letting it go to waste. I'm hesitant to spend additional money without knowing how my skin will respond, especially since I already purchased this session. I value your service and would be happy to continue as a returning customer if we can find a solution. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. Ps..

I'm sharing this because I believe customers should know what can happen behind the scenes of a business they choose to support. I was scheduled only 2-3 days a week for about 4-5 hours per shift. Much of my training consisted of tests through an app that I only had the opportunity to complete a few times. I was ultimately let go because I hadn't learned the difference between UVA and UVB rays quickly enough. I understand the importance of knowing the information required for the job, but I don't feel I was given enough opportunity to practice, review, or improve before being judged on how quickly I learned it. I was putting effort into my job, showing up for my shifts and completing the work I was asked to do, including cleaning the tanning beds and other physical duties. I was also upfront that I personally did not want to use UV tanning beds and preferred spray tanning and red-light therapy. I can't say whether that influenced my termination, but it did make me question whether I was given a fair opportunity. What bothered me most was the lack of consideration and professionalism. My father had just been diagnosed with kidney cancer, and management knew because I was crying at work after finding out and spoke with one of the managers. I still stayed and finished my shift that day. Despite knowing what I was dealing with, I never felt anyone checked in or considered whether something outside of work was affecting me. I was ultimately let go while my father was undergoing surgery to remove his cancerous kidney, and I was terminated in the front of the store in front of other employees rather than being spoken to privately. I found the way this was handled extremely embarrassing and unprofessional. I'm not reviewing this because I want my job back or disagree with businesses having standards. I'm reviewing it because how a business treats its employees matters, and customers deserve to know what is happening behind the scenes of the businesses they support. For a business that has been around for years, I expected a much higher level of professionalism, communication, training, and respect toward employees. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.
