    Splotches and weird rash contracted on neck after spray tan (I've had many over the years I'm not allergic )

    Technicians are very nice here but every time I come I have streaks, marks, and the tan is never even in certain areas (neck, joints, parts that crease) They also tell you to use lotion after (with no alcohol or oils) and sell one, but it contains alcohol (2 kinds) Wouldn't recommend or come here again I've tried them a few times and always same Not worth the trip to back bay for me

    Bronze. LOVE IT!!! Very Satisfied

    The staff is very patient and helpful. Their salon is in a great location. However, I have to say for the price of the tan, the results aren't that great. Problem area: the neck. The last 3 out of 4 times I have gone, the tan starts coming off in big spots within 24 hours on your neck. The rest of your body looks great, but you get quarter-sized white break through areas on your neck very quickly. I've gone to other spray tan salons before and haven't had this happen... and I don't have any lotion/soap on my neck before the spray tan. I just got my spray tan last night and woke up with two quarter sized areas that the spray didn't stick (again) overnight. I have a big event to go to and can't get it fixed before. After the 3rd time of this, I won't be returning :/

    Lauren was totally accommodating to my shifting schedule and was still able to fit me in even though I was ~20 min late.

    Abby is awesome!! She's very professional but fun too! She has several color options and knows what…read morewill look good on your skin tone. Ive had several spray tans by her for important events. The tans always look natural and I love the color! (Ive done 2 different colors) She brings a tent into your home/apartment which makes the whole process so easy!

    I set up an appointment very quickly through Yelp with the Sun Tan Van. We mutually agreed to meet…read moreup in the parking lot under the 93. I LOVED the convenience of being able to jump out of the van straight back in to my car, and then hop onto the 93 home. It was awesome! I was going on a trip to Florida and opted for the "look like I've been there already for a few days" tan. I arrived early at the parking lot, and waited a few minutes for the technician to arrive. Once she arrived I signed some papers while she put the black out shades over the windows. It was a cooler day in April, so when I first got in the van it was chilly. She revved the heat up, but it was still slightly uncomfortable to disrobe and then get sprayed with the chilly solution. The color turned out ok. It was natural looking and even. I just didn't love it. In my opinion it felt a little like it had "yellow" undertones compared the brown/bronzy look I love. Looking back at the pictures, it looks good; and even my boyfriend really liked it (and he prefers me white). There was nothing wrong with it, and maybe I should have just gone for a deeper shade. Since then I have tried another tanning salon and ultimately had a better overall experience. It was more comfortable and I LOVED the final result. So in the end, Sun Tan Van was just OK for me. I would keep them in mind for the future, but they won't be my go-to.
