This tanning salon is the cleanest I have been to. The environment is very "tropical" and the music selection is nice, i like how they play it loudly. You can adjust the volume in the rooms as you please too. They have many beds of all levels of tanning. They have the most upgraded smart tanning beds with red light therapy in them. Level 4&5 are most common ones due the tan to burn ratio with level 5 giving you 100% tan and let me tell you, there is NO burn in those beds lol. I highly recommend this salon despite the reviews from years ago. Like I said, the establishment is extremely clean and I have never seen any bugs or broken items in there. Staff is also very friendly and informative. :) read more

The owner does not take any accountability. The employee, Mae, really needs to learn how to speak to people, how to listen and not interrupt, how to address issues without face contortions would be a nice place to start. I have helped catch mice in this building, I've been ignored one too many times by the owner, I've been asked by another employee to give this "MAE" a good review?! Absolutely not! She is always loud and obnoxious!!! Can anyone issue a credit correctly? Nope. The compensation I was promised? Never happened. I emailed him twice, did he reply? No. The monthly visits are a misleading side hustle. Stay away from this place, it's toxic!! read more

Frequently visit smart tans and I always get the best service and a clean bed! the desk girl Renne acts like the store is her own, always engaging with the guests and making us feel at home! Definitely recommend this spot for your go to tanning salon! read more

Renee is amazing. Very knowledgeable with great customer service! I woukd highly recommend Smart Tan Salon

RUDE EMPLOYEES DIRTY BEDS!!! The girl at the front desk IS SOO RUDE, her name is Mae. Her tooth is discolored, she wears a crop top when she really shouldn't be and sits on the couch with a blanket, she gave me extreme attitude when asking about the difference of a level 5 and 4 bed. I asked for a lotion and she said which one I couldn't see without my glasses and she got so impatient and snapped at me. The bed I was in was bed 8. I went in around 12pm and the bed was not cleaned AT ALL. I had to let her know and she didn't apologize. I asked her her name and she said it's Mae but I really have no reason to know. I've tanned before with the girl with glasses she is so sweet and a people Person. The young girl with long hair is also so nice and kind. But MAE is absolutely nasty. There's a sign you can't tan people under the same membership but the person before me was a MAN and gave a women's name to tan under. She's crooked and I have emailed the owner. read more

Never had any issues, my favorite go to tanning salon. Always clean and the staff has always been super friendly

Appears to be out of business. Hasn't been opened all week, no note or change in voicemail.

As a former employee I can tell you these beds are NOT cleaned properly. Certain staff there don't mop the floors in the rooms either, very disgusting. The owner is unprofessional and extremely rude. The way he speaks to his staff is honestly unacceptable. He threatened to slander my name for doing nothing wrong except sticking up for myself (didn't even swear at him), and telling him I was going to get OSHA and the labor department involved. Please do not support this business, there are plenty of other great tanning places around that are much more sanitary and ran by kinder humans! Also: he asks staff to leave 5 star reviews and pretty sure he makes fake accounts to leave reviews as well read more

drove all the way there just for the place to be closed. says it opens at 10am and I am sitting here still at 10:15 with no one there. Waste of a drive. Tried calling too and no answer. Not how you run a business read more

Beat tanning salon in RI! State of the art beds and the best staff. My go to tanning salon!

Terrible Buisness! Smart Tan's owner is extremely critical and demeaning to its employees and customers. Everyday the employees complain how terrible the owner is to them and that he only pays them $13 an hour. David the owner texted me saying he doesn't make any money off me since I come in often using the unlimited package and said he will monitor everyone including me by watching his cameras with audio daily to make sure I don't speak to anyone about the bugs, broken glass or the smell. This place opens late almost everyday leaving customers waiting outside for long periods of time. This establishment is not cleaned properly, the floors are FILTHY and I cut my foot badly on glass in the room (I found three pieces of glass on the floor). One morning there were ROACHES running all over the lobby and in the rooms. This salon also has a problem with the smell of overwhelming SEWER GAS on occasion. The owner tries to intimidate and demean anyone who speaks of an issue. When an employee begs customers to call the Health Department on several occasions, it sends up the Red Flag! Lastly, David always publicly ridicules everyone that exposes his buisness with a honest review instead of apologizing and correcting the problems! Spend your money at a clean Tanning Salon without having a creepy owner watch and listen to everything like a voyeur! read more

May 1 and May 2 I drove there 2 days in a row with a sign on door closed for emergency. okay BUT they could have at least have a message on their phone line for what's going on so you drive there for nothing I did it two days in a row. you cannot call and check because they don't bother to have a message on the phone to the customers who keep them in business like I say so you don't know if it's open or watt I personally bought a plan of six visits because I'm leaving in a few days to go away and now basically I'm screwed because I paid for the product but didn't receive it no idea what's going on... not a good way to run a business... I don't think I'm the only one a little upset that you get there to find it closed for two days in a row without any explanation read more

Cleanest salon I have seen to date. They are especially cleaning well during COVID - they also have body sprays etc, that I have never seen elsewhere - so you do not have that burnt skin smell, lol after. Sanitizer on the walls in each room. Their red therapy beds do NOT BURN you. The girls were very informative of what each bed does--which ones give more of a tan versus burn ratio. Fans are super helpful inside these beds, especially on the face tanner. Also for added security-- they have a finger print option so someone can not say they are you, and use your tans. Wasn't working for a bit-but they fixed it ASAP for me. Highly recommended! read more

This is a nice, clean establishment. Staff was informative and helpful for signing up. There is plenty of parking as well. Very proactive and working with the current pandemic. Really like the environment of the Salon, and the variety available. Recommended! read more

Im not normally one to go on social media to and do things like this, but DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS! I was an employee for about a week, and after being poorly treated and humiliated by my boss almost every day i worked i quit (in a civil manner mind you), and this is how i was spoken to. The owner of this company is absolutely disgusting and not only rude to his employees, but his customers as well. read more

Beds are still great! Such a nice clean salon. But staff is still rather rude. One girl that works there actually says nothing to you other then " what's your last name" " you can scan your finger" and "room#"... no hi, no bye have a nice day!....one visit I actually attempted to buy a bottle of lotion and I was asking her questions about them.. she was so rude, I just told her to never mind. But good customer service is hard to find these days truthfully. So great beds, not so great staff. read more

Really gross. When I was there, they weren't following any COVID precautions - the employees didn't wear masks, or restrict the number of people inside, take temps, or clean any contact surfaces. When I went in to tan, there was a greasy spot on the bed handle so I re-sprayed and wiped everything down. The place looks grody and run down. read more

Worsttt place EVERRRR!!! very unsanitary! found a bed bug in the corner of the bed I immediately told the owner. He tried to place me on another bed I refused & left and got my refund. Worst experience ever never again! read more

Totally get that times are tough and all but I literally just paid $40 for 9 mins. Because the young lady working who is usually awesome wanted to go home. I was there before cut off. I should of been told that I'd only be getting 9 of 15 mins. Unfortunately this isn't the 1st time this has happened either. So disappointed because other than that it's a great place. read more

Extremely knowledgeable on the benefits of tanning and have the top of the line equipment to provide those benefits to you. Their Warwick, RI location is a cute atmosphere with a large selection of booths and beds (especially compared to most tanning salons). It's not the low, medium and high strength selection you are used to. All of their machines are top of the line and vary in their own individual features. There are red lights in all their machines for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and skin problems including acne and rosacea. A mirrored vanity with items to freshen up after your tan (lotion, spray deodorant, hair ties, jewelry cleaner, etc.) After the dark days of a COVID winter this is the pick me up I needed not just for a glow (which we all love) but for my mental and physical health. 10/10 would recommend read more

Horrible place to work. i worked four shifts then after expressing over and over i wasn't ready to be alone because i was not trained well i was going to be left alone anyway and did not return. after many creepy remarks from the owner of "if you wear less clothing you don't need to wear a uniform" i was uncomfortable in the setting and was never paid for my shifts. and was informed training was paid. read more

Update! I've visited a few times after I posted my review and all the staff has been super friendly. Maybe someone was having a bad day, it happens to all of us! More importantly the salon remains clean, machines clean and in excellent working condition and I find their business hours convenient. read more

For some time now I have been curious about tanning as a whole. I had no prior knowledge and as someone who is pretty pale, I didn't know where to start. My first trip I was greeted by Kayla. She throughly explained the benefits of each bed and helped me decide which would be best for my skin type. She also provided extensive information on the different lotions and the benefits of each. The salon was very clean and Kayla was beyond helpful. Nothing short of a great experience! read more

I have been tanning for over 10 years, I use to go to Natural Tans on Quaker Lane, but they recently closed after being in that location for 5 years. I had always paid 11 dollars for a full 11 minutes in a stand-up tanning booth, and on Tuesdays, it was only 5 bucks. I tan once a week for 11 minutes, and I stay tan year-round, I never burn. So I tried Smart Tan, the first session wasn't too bad even though they charged me 14 dollars but the next week when I went back they insisted on charging me 19 dollars, even though their website was 8.99 per session. The cashier even called the owner and he couldn't explain why their price is so much higher than all the other local tanning businesses. They didn't seem to care that I would be a weekly customer for years to come. The booths are so small you hardly have room to remove your clothes, there is nowhere to hang your clothes, I could feel dirt on the bottom of my feet so they don't sweep and mop the booths out, so most likely they don't clean them either. The booth had a strong smell of urine. Today I have white blotchy marks all over my skin, and I can tell I lost a lot of my tan over the past 2 weeks, so their red light therapy is just a scam to get people to pay more because it is much less effective than regular stand-up tanning booths. I guess I will be going to the Erotic tans on Divison st from now on. It's sad that the owner doesn't care about having regular long term customers and his comment was "tell the lady that you can't to compare us to other tanning salons" REALLY- There is no comparison, SMART TANS SUCK! read more

This salon is immaculate, not exactly sure what the disgruntled ex employee was referring to. I specifically always read the reviews after I visit any place to see how honest and precise they are. I will say all of the positive reviews are as accurate as it gets. They are not only affordable but the staff are also personable and friendly. What more could you ask for? I also want to add that the newest member Kendra (specializing in lash extensions) is an absolute doll!! She did not disappoint, I will recommend this establishment to absolutely anyone I can. Keep it up! read more

Look, I am not Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard, but this ONE poorly run business. This is the 3rd Sunday in recent weeks they are NOT open. Yet, they advertise they open at 10AM. It was 11:30 this morning and they are locked up tighter than Fort Knox! Secondly, equipment is broken for weeks at a time with major employee turnover. I have been using the electronic beach for over 30 years and this is one of the WORST places I have ever used. For the amount they charge you'd think they could get the fundamentals right. They have a sign in the window inviting clients to write a review on Yelp for 30 days of FREE tanning. I have a hunch mine won't qualify, nor do I want it to. read more

BEST beds, service, atmosphere, bells and whistles... I've hopped around to different tanning salons because this one's 20 min from my house but I keep coming back. I love the free red light therapy that's included with the smart beds. I love that I can control the music volume in my bed...free hair elastics in case you forget one...bronze, not orange tan...I could go on. Worth every penny. read more

I've been to a few tanning salons over the years and this one has been my absolute favorite. One, the atmosphere inside is just so cool, you never want to leave. Oftentimes you have to wait for the next available booth/bed to open up so waiting can be a little boring. Not here, they have an ultra cool lounge area where you can park yourself to wait. They have everythinig you can think of in the separate rooms. Hand sanitizer, after tanning spray (to help rid of that tanning smell) loofahs to help apply lotion to your back, and enough space to hold a party. They offer spray tans as well, I've heard they are pretty awesome, I am hoping to try one in the near future. Staff has always been super friendly and they always are offering great promotions. I got a great base tan here for my wedding last year and I loved it! read more

I recently discovered this tanning salon, right up the street from my GYM (convenient). It's really cute inside and the salon is very clean. Always have great music playing, hair ties in the room in case you forget one and perfume to use afterwards. negatives: The Wait - sometimes there's a 10-15 minute wait per bed. The Options in the tanning beds (broken or unusable) for instance the button to increase and decrease the facial lights along with the fan. Don't work as expected. I've also paid extra for a level 3 bed. The selection on the bed shows mist -no mist comes out. I feel if you're paying for something it should work. read more

If anyone is looking for a AMAZING tan quickly without burning that lasts I completely recommend going here. It might seem more expensive than other tanning salons but trust me for what you get its not. Its not like any other tanning place in RI!!!! Wish there was more than one in RI!! LOVE IT!!!!!! read more

So, I live and work in Providence, so there are a plethora of tanning salons closer to me that I can choose from, but I make the effort to drive to Smart Tan. I've been going here for about a year now, and have nothing bad to say about the place! The smart beds that are offered here really give you a great, dark tan quickly. I like the convenience of the different levels - during less busy times when I can go more often, I can use the lower level beds and save some money. If I haven't been able to get there for awhile, or if I can't visit as frequently, I can still get a great tan by using a higher level bed. I particularly like that they make the whole tanning experience as relaxing, convenient, and enjoyable as possible. There are a plethora of freebies available to customers like hair and skin products for their use. While I wish their prices were a little lower, I nonetheless recommend this tanning salon to anyone looking to tan quicker and safer! read more

Super clean salon! A few salons I have been totally grossed out by & I've literally walked out because I could just tell that the salon was not sanitary. I was also pleasantly surprised when I didn't have to pay for additional minutes like some of the other salons around town. The girl behind the counter was really nice to me and made me feel really comfortable as well. She joked around with me and I really felt like she genuine and not just some tanning consultant trying to sell me some random product or package. I will definitely recommended this tanning salon to my friends. Not to mention it's in the same plaza as Chili's so HELLO MARGARITAS :) read more

I've been avoiding writing this review, but the owner has been unresponsive to me on social media and has not returned my phone calls (but has read my messages and ignored them). Where to start? I've been a customer of this salon on and off for the past 5 years, always purchasing an unlimited level 5 monthly package at over $100 a month. A WEEK before the covid shut down I purchased said package. Upon phase two reopening I returned to the salon, expecting my package was frozen during the shut down. The very sweet and helpful girl at the front desk informed me on the phone "he only extended your package until the 9th... let me call him because you're missing two weeks you paid for. I'll figure it out by the time you come in" when I came in she informed me he refused to extend my package, so I asked her to call him. He was rude to HER on the phone, then when I asked to speak to him he hung up on his employee! I wrote a long email to the business Facebook page, letting him know I've been a good paying customer for years and this is bad business, especially during a pandemic to take advantage of a client who supported his business. He read it and didn't respond! I sent a second message letting them know they would no longer receive my money, and he read and ignored that as well. Save your money and spend it on a business that appreciates you and doesn't steal your money to profit from a pandemic! read more

Clean, efficient! The girls are friendly and knowledgeable that work there. I wish I got her name but she walked me through each bed and each level and knew a lot of information regarding skin types! I was impressed! read more

Salon and beds are good but this is the second Sunday in a row it wasn't opened on time. They are supposed to be opened at 10 am. Last week the girl didn't get there until 10:15 am and today we waited 30 minutes and nobody ever showed up to open. We seen several people try to go in and ended up leaving. Will not be wasting our time trying to go here anymore. read more

Rude rude rude girl at front desk !! I was unfamiliar with the new tanning technology and she made me feel so stupid like I was supposed to know her job smh I just wanted a tan I left there with goosebumps freezing cold after tanning in a level 4 bed for 10 min wth read more

Smart Tan is an up-scale salon with good beds and strong bulbs. As I new customer, I saved 25% off on a monthly package. I opted for the "smartest" package, giving me access to the level 5 beds (approx $100 for the month). The beds are nice (I have seen nicer), but still appropriate for an up-scale salon. Behind the counter, they advertise that the bulbs are changed every 100 hours vs the industry standard of 400 hrs. The staff member said that the bed I tanned in (level 5) had been changed out a week prior! Just after two sessions, I could tell a difference in colour. If I had to critique... There are a few things I would get rid of in the salon. There is a tacky lotion packet display with used lotion packets hanging from a large wire rack- They could do without it. There are also a few "Don't" signs throughout the salon. "Don't bring your shoes in the rooms", etc. There are also a few tchotchkes that confuses the theme or identity of the salon. Less is more. Overall, a nice salon with friendly staff and fresh bulbs. Happy tanning. :) read more

The products that this salon offers seemed to be amazing. Unfortunately I never really got to use them because of Covid. My wedding reception and trip to Hawaii were cxled and the salons were closing but with advanced notice being given to salons. The woman that Signed me up was great as well as the woman I spoke with about suspending my membership because they were closing. Once it was announced that salons we're reopening I went in to try and reinstate my membership they told me it was already expired. They said that the day they reopened my membership kicked back in. I spoke with the owner John and asked how I was supposed to know they were open again as they never sent me any notification. He told me that the governor announced that they were opening and that I should have known that way! Absolutely unacceptable customer service. The owner was dismissive and rude with no concern for his clients. read more

I added this review to Google but I wanted to make sure to add it to Yelp as well. I was a customer years ago before moving to Florida and I was always happy but I only did basic tanning. When I was here visiting family for a wedding tomorrow, I needed a spray tan (which I was not very familiar with). Morgan spent so much time explaining how everything worked. She asked me a bunch of questions about my daily routine and gave a lot of advice on how to keep the tan for the longest amount of time. I couldn't have been happier with my experience. For someone traveling, as I do often - usually when a tanning salon finds out that they may not be getting a regular customer, they treat you a little differently. Morgan was extremely professional and spent more time with me than I expected and made me feel comfortable and because of that, I will recommend this place to everyone I know here in Rhode Island. read more

Tiffany at the counter was great. Great place for tanning. I got 25% off as a new customer. Pauly D bronzer, level 5 bed, good music. Mystic spray booth down for a repair. Recommended. Good hours. read more
