Let's start by saying I am not really a fan of tanning salons. I naturally tan pretty easily and never found a need to spend extra bucks to get a tan. That, and I'm admittedly skittish about the damaging rays in the tanning beds. In fact, I tried going to this place several years ago for a spray tan and absolutely HATED it. It was back in the days (2011?) when you locked yourself into a tiny room, closed your eyes tight and let the brown gunk spray you from head to toe. The vapors alone were enough to keep me away for quite a long, long time.
Cut to 2015. My daughter got married last month and I wanted to look good for the wedding. My white winter legs had not yet magically tanned in the April sun and a trip to the Bahamas was not in the plans. So...my other daughter suggests coming here for a tanning session. I was nervous. I went with her, but I totally figured I would be sitting in the lobby waiting for her to get her tan on. I told the guy at the desk (who turned out to be the owner) that I wasn't here for a tan, I was just going along for the ride. My fearless daughter jumped right into the stand up tanning booth, while I was still hemming and hawing all over the place. You see, I still had a dilemma -- I wanted my legs to look good for the wedding. Well, the owner of this place was so very understanding and patient with me. He brought me over to several different tanning beds and knowing that I really only wanted my legs tanned, he tried setting up a chair for me. We talked about leaving the bed open, we talked about the spray tans vs. the beds. I told him of my horrible spray tan experience and then he brought up Versa clear. Changed my life!
The new Versa clear spray and booth are terrific. They don't lock you in a cabinet anymore, for starters! It's big, it's open, it's space aged looking! An automated lady speaks to you, telling you what to do! And, the best part (for me) - you can do a spray tan only on your legs! Perfect! No more worrying about this stuff spraying me in the face. Can you tell I'm slightly claustrophobic?
So in the end I went with the Versa clear spray, which sprays on clear and develops within a few hours. By the next morning, you've got a gorgeous tan that lasts at least week or so. No odor, no stress. And it took about 30 seconds. My kind of tanning.
A big thank you goes out to the owner for being so patient with my craziness! For that, you earned a loyal customer. read more
