    I really am not the type to write a negative review, especially when it involves a small business. However, I made numerous attempts to contact the staff of Shade & Seeker regarding this situation, and was ignored. Let me start off by saying I have tanned here several times, and always loved how my tan looked. I recommended you to countless friends, and genuinely enjoyed coming in to support a small, female-owned business. Last Thursday, my mom and I arrived for our pre-wedding spray tans. We were greeted by a less than welcoming woman who seemed as though we were somehow inconveniencing her by being there for our appointment. This honestly caught me off guard, because prior to this I had loved the two girls that did my tan. I received my spray tan, and went home where I followed the steps exactly as I should have. I waited the full two hours to rinse, and was horrified at what I saw. My arms had dark patches of tan all over them, and my elbows were nearly black ( I specifically told the woman that my elbows tend to pull dark, and it was evident not enough barrier cream was applied). I began to panic as I had to be the maid of honor in my sister's wedding in less than 24 hours. I called the salon, to which no one answers - there is literally no way to get an employee on the phone there. I texted the number asking someone to call me, and sent pictures to show how awful it looked. I even DROVE back there to have them see it in person, to which the salon was closed at noon...? They texted me back after awhile saying it was bronzer and to just "wipe it off". I tried all their suggestions, asked them to call me, and then was ignored when I was trying to get help. Long story short, the tan did not come off after following their advice. The photographer on the wedding day even made a point to say "that's one of the worst tans I've ever seen, I'll try to photoshop it out". Not only did it look awful for pictures, and put a damper on the day, the level of disconcern you showed for a loyal customer, and sheer lack of accountability that your salon demonstrated is pathetic. I will make it known this was my experience here, and will never recommend your services. You at the very least owed me a phone call back, and an apology for doing such an awful job. I am so disappointed in this studio, and will be taking my money to MetroTans a mile away for less money, friendlier service, a better lasting tan (and people who actually know how to answer the phone!)

    So happy with my result!

    Had my first tan here last week for my bridal shower as a test for my wedding day next month. After reading all the positive reviews I felt confident and afterwards knew I made the right decision. I am planning on coming back with my entire bridal party before the wedding. Melissa has even allowed us to bring whatever we want that morning to help make the day special. They are very personable here and you certainly feel listened to. I would absolutely recommend them!

    My tan on Sunday (sprayed Friday).  I am PALE AS A GHOST and wanted a "tan" that didn't make me look tan, just normal. Perfect coloring!

    I have never been here, but was looking for tanning salons in the area. I call 20 times, at varying…read moretimes, with no answer. They have no website, and their Facebook/Instagram have zero information or pricing. How am I supposed to even find out, I'm not going there and wasting my time. Like... get a website, update your Facebook/Instagram, and answer your damn phone... or just close down because this is not how you run an establishment! I will never go here and honestly I'm just giving up. I found way better places. Go to Utopia tanning or Planet Beach, they at least answer your questions...and their phones!

    I've been going to Metro Tans for years. I've always been happy and recommended it to others…read more Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience- the solution was applied streaky and uneven, which has never been the case before. I was concerned about how the uneven tan would look and did not want to take a risk for an event, so I showered slightly before the recommended window. I called to notify the manager and ended up speaking to the person who did my spray tan. I just wanted to explain the situation and my concerns. She wasn't rude, but was somewhat dismissive and said because I didn't wait and see (and therefore risk having an uneven, streaky look) that nothing could be done. She suggested I should have waited and then if so was unhappy exfoliated the tan off myself later. For a place I've never had tanning issues with to suggest I just hope for a good outcome when clearly the tan wasn't applied correctly (perhaps due to a faulty sprayer, which she said had been broken earlier that week), but claimed was working this day, though my experience seems to suggest otherwise. This whole experience seemed off to me for a place I have been frequenting for years with no issues. It's a shame because I was always satisfied there and now feel that due to the poor quality and lack of effort to reimburse me for the tan, I will seek another place. I should also mention she asked for a tip three times while I was checking out and said 20% is standard. While as always do tip, I feel this should be an option, and not repeatedly asked for by staff. I'm not sure if the shop is under new management (Lisa referenced a manager when I first arrived, but when I called back she said she is the manager). Either way, I'm disappointed in the service and the quality and will not be going back or recommending to others again.

    I cannot say enough amazing things about this place! I went in for a spray tan (because Marilyn is…read morethe best in the business and I don't trust anyone else to make me look as natural as she does), and left with my teeth whitened and feeling energized from the cryotherapy. Let's start with the teeth. About a month ago I decided to finally splurge and go to my dentist for teeth whitening. It was $500, but I'm getting married so I thought why not. It took an hour, was extremely painful and barely made a difference. I then decided to try it at cryomist on a whim and in 15 minutes my teeth were white (but still looked natural) and had NO PAIN! And I have extremely sensitive teeth so this was pretty surprising. I then couldn't resist trying CryoTherapy because I've been hearing so many amazing things about it. I'm not gonna lie... it was FREEZING, but Jen talks you through the entire 3 minute process which kept me distracted from the cold. After, I felt energized and just amazing. Also, the weight loss is a nice perk :) All in all, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. It's reasonably priced, the staff is super nice and accommodating, and you'll leaving looking and feeling your best (but not like a Barbie doll, I promise).

    Liz is amazing! She really takes the time to decide on the best tan for you based on when your…read moreevent is and your skin tone. Have had two lovely experiences thus far and she is thorough each time. When I first came here I had never gotten a spray tan before and Liz made the whole experience seamless!

    In LOVE with my tan given by Fran! I achieved such amazing natural color... fast!!…read more We did a mini consultation before we began and decided to go with "mocha", which is the most popular color. I've had my fair share of spray tans over the years (my husband eve part owned a salon that gave them), and I have never had a color choice like the ones given here. I thought it was awesome! Originally I thought I would want to go darker with the "espresso" and Fran sprayed me, let me look at my tan line, and let me decide. But she was right, "mocha" was just perfect. It's your option to wear (or not) whatever you want. They do have disposable thongs available if you don't want to go au naturale, but want as much color as possible. Fran took her time with me, and even applied baby powder to soak up excess moisture on a very hot day to prevent streaking. Conversation was great and she was super professional. This can certainly be an awkward thing and Fran made me feel completely at ease. If this is your first spray tan be prepared to not get wet for 8-12 hours although for $10 more they have an express option which allows for showering in just 3 hours. Wear baggy dark clothes, exfoliate and shave prior to your appointment. Booking same day was super simple, but I would recommend calling at least a few days in advance. There's 10% with Yelp check-in and BOGO half for first timers. Went with the latter option and cannot wait to return the next time and get sprayed again when I have another special occasion or just want to feel extra golden and sexy. I UV tan regularly and this color is so incredibly difficult to attain that way. Plus, this spray is organic and much bette for you! They also have a full spa downstairs offering facials and lash services. Parking unmetered out front was super simple. Went perfectly with grabbing a bite at Suraya down the street. Awesome find!!
