    Tanning beds

    The girl at the front was super helpful and showed me around the whole place, explaining all of the beds and prices. Great experience!

The bed I was put into was making such insane noises I was terrified and the lights kept flickering on and off. I brought this to the employees attention in which she rolled her eyes, scoffed and told me this is normal for all beds. I tan every single day at the other location, never once did it make the bombing sounds these beds make. Oh and the loud banging sounds are partnered with vibrating jolts through the bed as your inside because they are so loud. Talk about a safety concern? The employees at this location are unfriendly and make me feel SO uncomfortable to the point I want to drive to the further location just to avoid coming in contact with them. This is every interaction I've had here. I brought in a lotion today that was on the banned list (I was unaware), instead of her politely mentioning it. She embarrassed me so bad infront other customers and spoke down to me like I was stupid and a child. I don't leave bad reviews, especially for a tanning salon, but I feel management should be made known of these issues. I don't use my phone inside beds but I did hop out out the bed just to take this video for sound reference.

    I have decided to change my review here as this place has DEFINITELY improved over the last year…read moreand I really appreciate their commitment to making their business better. Every time I go in, I am greeted by the kind staff and they are able to give me recommendations for which services I should use. The spray tan machines are my favorite! It's a super easy process and I always get in and out within 10 minutes! The place is way cleaner than before, they always offer great discounts, and I now feel very welcome here! I love that they offer "clear spray tans" because it prevents my light colored clothes from being completely ruined by the color of the tan once it develops and the tans always look great for up to a week for me! I really appreciate that management has tried their best to improve the business and listens to their customers! I will definitely be using this as my spray tan destination from now on!

Supposedly we were supposed to get an email about it. We were never notified that it had to be cancelled by Aug 1. Do now we've been billed twice for trying to cancel this membership. Don't go there!

I went with the Airbrush Tan, but they also offer a booth spray tan (I just don't trust myself yet). They send you home with a pamphlet and lots of useful information if you're a newbie like me. They also offer teeth whitening. Pricing is very reasonable. I got 3 Airbrush tanning sessions for only $99, which is much cheaper than I expected. They offer lots of add-ons and great discounts if you refer other guests to Mandalay. You can also book your appointments online which makes it super easy!

    I've only gotten one spray tan (at another salon), prior to buying three sessions at Mandalay Mist…read more Three airbrush for $99 is a good deal. Gina sprayed me both times I came in and was very meticulous, checking to make sure my tan was perfect. I loved the color and it even stayed on over a week , which I was not expecting. You can also add on hydration which I did and they spray you with a PH balancing spray. Rapid tan is another add on which significantly reduces the time before you shower. The fade of the color was slow and not obvious which was a huge plus. I look forward to going to Mandalay Mist for another perfect tan.

    Unfortunately, my visit to Next Level Tan & Spa was one of the worst spa experiences I have had. I…read morepurchased their Living Social deal for a body wrap since I've wanted to try a body wrap and the location listed on the deal was close to my house. The website provided on the deal looked thorough and professional, so I gave it a shot. From the jump, my interaction with this place of business was extremely unprofessional. When I called to book my appointment, the call was forwarded to an employee's personal cell phone. She chose to answer an unknown number - and knowing business calls would be forwarded to her cell - screaming 'HELLO??' with very loud music blaring in the background. I figured I must have dialed the wrong number - because really, what reputable business would answer a call in such a manner? - but was informed by the employee of her forwarding number. She then booked an appointment for me in the next two weeks. I was skeptical at this method of booking of appointments, but since I had already purchased the deal I tried to remain optimistic. It was at this point I was informed the spa had changed names and moved locations. Red flags at every point of interaction with this company! The day of my appointment continued to diminish my impression of this place of business. I arrived the standard 15 minutes early and had enough time to view the spa. It quickly became apparent that their focus is tanning. It was unkempt and I could see cleaning supplies spilling out of their storage area. I was moved into a room by the employee who was to perform my body wrap. She declined to introduce herself, ask me any questions, or explain the body wrap procedure that was about to be performed. I was extremely uncomfortable. She told me to "get naked" (again, a completely unprofessional way to inform spa goers of removing their clothes) before she burst back in without knocking. She brought in a bucket that looks very similar to the one my dad uses to wash the car with gauze bandages soaking in some mystery liquid. She then imposed herself on me and began wrapping me tight as a sausage. I was then placed between two space blankets on a bed and left for the next hour to marinate like a cold anchovy. I was checked on only once, after I squiggled around enough in the space blankets to make enough noise for her to come back in and check on me. After the procedure was over, I couldn't have gotten dressed quickly enough and ran out of there any faster. Even after everything, I didn't see any results from this body wrap! I definitely would not recommend anyone seeking spa treatments to visit Next Level Tan & Spa.

They were very snobby and not friendly, immediately treating me like I am out of place and don't belong.. They offered little to no education or instruction, and even had to move me to a different machine b/c even they could not get it to work. I felt very left in the dark about what I am even supposed to do. When leaving, I even told the girl I didn't know if I did it right and she said "well let's hope you did"...as if it isn't her JOB to make sure I did it right. It was as if I were inconveniencing them. That is not even the worst part. Things happen, I get it. My spray tan turned out horrible, I called back the next day to speak with a manager, and they said manager Haley would not be in until Tuesday. and wow was she a delight.... (not). Kept interrupting me, would not even LISTEN to my concerns, said its hard to believe that I am calling 3 days later...when they told me to call back when a manager was in, on TUESDAY. I have worked in customer service for 15+ years, I have NEVER EVER been spoken to the way Haley spoke to me or treated me, she went as far to HANG UP on me after I asked for her managers information--HUGE RED FLAG. I called back and she said "there is no reason to escalate it" -- whose decision is that? Because last time I checked its MINE. Haley is rude, unprofessional ,unpleasant, and clearly uneducated. This was the worst customer service experience I have EVER had in my LIFE. I will never EVER get a spray tan again and NEVER go back to south Tampa location. What should have been a customer complaint where an apology could go a long way, turned into a customer DISSERVICE nightmare. I truly cannot accept the treatment I was given or the way I was spoken to. The Fact Haley is the manager of these girls , her behavior makes a lot of sense. Completely unprofessional and going to drive this business into the ground. You greet people at the door and make sure they are educated on your products, how hard could it be? 10/10 do not recommend this location as long as Haley is working there, she is going to drive this business to the ground if she hasn't already.
