Getting ready for a cruise in a little over a week from now and need some color. I've opted for the tanning beds vs a spray tan. The young lady that helped me really knows her stuff and helped me with a "plan" to have me nice and tan. The bed was clean and the room was clean also. It's got a tanning space vibe with assorted lotions from $40-$150 depending on goal. This is perfect for what I need and a great Christmas offer! read more

We've used this place several times and never had an issue till today. We bought a multi-pack of tanning services, drove across town today to get a tan, then were told the passes have expired? How can a pass for a service expire? Kind of a racket if you ask me, and I would make sure to read the fine print if you decide to go here. I'd like to give one star for the inconvenience and wasted money, but to be fair the facilities here are nice... when you can use them. read more

Love the people, the prices, the beds, everything! Love this place. It's my me time! I do a tanning and red light therapy combo package and it's worth every penny. They always have great specials, great prices on their guaranteed products and the whole salon is exceptionally clean. read more

Such a great place. Staff is always so helpful and there is never a wait. Alaina definitely has amazing energy for this place. If you go ask for her. Knows her stuff and is always willing to help. If I could do 10 stars I would. read more

Absolute amazing place! Great, even spray tans. Alaina is AWESOME and so welcoming too.

My boyfriend and I were getting ready for a Wedding in Mexico, we bought the 10 session package! I wanted to post about the facility- they were amazing, clean and helpful.... But mostly Their Employee Emma! Every time Emma was working she already knew us upon walking in, she new what we wanted and was quick with getting us in! She was personable and asked about our trip preparations. Every Facility needs an Emma :) read more

So many reasons why you should tan here but these are my top 3. -It's local and so affordable, support Austin businesses! :) -Alaina is amazing. The second you walk in to her shop you will feel welcomed and already in a better mood. Customer service is amazing! -Lastly, the store is so clean and body positive. Anyone and everyone should feel super comfortable coming here and getting your tan on! I highly recommend the far west tan etc to anyone needing a good local tanning spot that will be your 15 mins of zen! read more

I've tried every tanning salon in austin, and this one is by far the best! Alaina has truly been so helpful and informative for all of my tanning needs. i truly feel such a good community here, and i always look forward to walking in. so thankful i've found this place! also really love stephanie in the great hills locations read more

This place is clean & the staff is friendly/nice. I like that you can use multiple locations. I wanted to get some color for a trip and an event coming up and I remember liking this place back in 2013 - well as for 2020 it's still a good spot. I personally like to pay just for one month and be done :) I read some other reviews....You definitely need to figure out how many months you want and plan out canceling your membership before you sign up. If you can do that *yes requires effort* then this place is a REALLY good deal. If you are lazy and don't read the sign up contract then yes they will auto-charge your card...but that's your fault lol. Read what you sign. It's also next to a liquor store and the really good sushi/hibachi place Fujiyama so I get sushi to go call in order before I tan then pick it up on the way home. pro tip. read more

This Tan Etc location is great. It's always extremely quick visits in my experience and I've never had to wait for the 2 beds I generally use. Alaina is fantastic and always super helpful and informative. She advised me on how to slowly build a tan so as to not burn or harm my fair skin. She is always extremely pleasant, fun, and has the best product recommendations too. Highly recommend going here, and you will likely run into Alaina there because I swear she is never not working. read more

This business is truly horrible. After spending hundreds of dollars there on services and products, I've tried to cancel my membership for over a month. I repeatedly emailed and received no response back until they tried to bill me again. Watch these guys. They are not honest. read more

Not sure how long this place has been open but wish I found Tan Etc a few years ago. All the money I would have saved! I usually use the Verapro spray tanning machine. It's fast and gives an even tan each time. I'm on a monthly membership (of which I can cancel whenever with a months notice) and pay on $40ish per month for unlimited spray tanning! That's how much I use to pay for a single spray tan!! Rooms are always clean and staff is friendly. read more

Alaina is such a friendly worker. Always in a happy mood and willing to help with any questions. Place is always very well kept and spotless. Amazing people here! read more

I haven't lived in Austin long so I was thrilled to not only find a great tanning salon, but also an extremely helpful person in Alaina. She really knows her stuff-tanning lotions and how to achieve the ultimate tan. There are several beds to choose from and she is always so helpful with not only her knowledge about tanning, but also her knowledge about the city. Also, I might add that the salon is ALWAYS clean. I can honestly recommend this business as a great way to stay healthy looking. read more

ALIANA! Aliana! I'm obsessed with this local spot! I'm in, I'm out, and my bronze tan is perfection!!! Alaina, is always there, always remembers my name and my settings . She is amazing! Tan Etc. Is amazing. Ahhhh, it feels good to be tan!!!! read more

I've been going here for many years now and all the girls are so sweet and amazing. Alaina is always so helpful in making sure I get the best tan, whether it's alternating beds or using a specific lotion. She ALWAYS remembers my name and the beds I use. Any location I go in, I feel so welcomed. The membership is affordable and flexible if I ever need to freeze my account. Love this place and all the people who work here :) read more

I have been coming here for a while now and I absolutely love it! The staff is very knowledgeable about which beds to use and what each one does and especially knowledgeable about all the lotions. Anytime I have a question they are super friendly and answer without hesitation. I LOVE their Versa Pro spray tanning booth as it's easy to use and leaves you looking like a Greek god. Also, the prices are extremely fair. I am a student at UT and they have student discounts! I have tried other tanning salons but Tan etc. always has me coming back!! read more

I have visited this location on many occasions and am always pleased with the level of service I receive. The staff is always very nice and they usually take a few moments to chat and visit before tanning. I appreciate the speed that they can get me in and out if I am in a hurry. Stephanie the manager always seems happy to see me. It is always fun to compare notes about recent movies and shows that we have been watching and it is always interesting to get a younger perspective on current events. Stephanie is a people person and very personable. I think the prices and packages that are available are very reasonable and the staff is always able to answer questions I may have. This salon stands out in comparison to other larger companies due to the special attention they give to their customers. Thank you. read more

Alaina is like going to visit a friend, always helpful & friendly. If you have tanning lotion questions, she is your guru and will never steer you wrong. She will always make sure you know how to use the beds. They offer music, stickers, and add-ons to both their spray tan options including which one is best based off your skin tones. Your overwhelmed by all the options they offer, but in a good way! They also have reasonable hours for people to pop-in during lunch or after work. read more

Love this place! Multiple beds to choose from whenever they are busy which is nice when on a time crunch. Alaina is also great! She knows which bed I prefer and is ready to go as soon as I walk in the door. Great prices here as well! I always recommend Tan Etc and have even had some friends and coworkers start tanning here and they love it too! read more

I love this place! It is by far the best tanning salon I've experienced in Austin. The staff remember their customers and greet you by name when you walk in. Recently, I got to chatting with staff and found out that we all love the same podcast! :) As far as the tanning, I love their Versapro! It's a quick in and out experience and I love the color. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Love it here! Tan Etc offers the best services with the best staff-- always so friendly and go out of their way to help me with what I need.

I have been tanning at Tan ETC for several years now. Their rates are the best I've found and I've had the best experiences at all locations! Specifically Alaina at Far West is amazing!! She's very personable and knows what she is doing. Salon and tanning beds are kept very clean! Highly recommend!!! read more

I don't consider myself a tanning bed kind of girl which is apparent when you see me. I decided I didn't want to look like a zombie any more and to get some color on my face. My first choice was Darque Tan and I felt it's a rip off. That whole tier bed system might work for professional tanners but I know a scam when I see it. I moved to Tan Etc. because it was close to my job and only 25$ a month. I have the fee automatically debited from my bank account every month. This location is always clean and the staff is great. Everyone is laid back. There is a great brother sister duo that I really like. She is always sweet and offers good advice on lotions. The brother is a cutie and sweet as well. When I got a new bank card and forgot to call in with my new number I got a fine notice in the mail. I had to go down and give them my new info but he deleted the fine for me. I can't see that other place doing that. read more

Tan Etc is the place for a nice spray tan. I always love my results and plus everyone who works at Tan Etc is always kind and positive. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice quick spray tan! Love the energy at this place. read more

WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!! This place is a joke in this day and age! I selected Tan Etc because I like to support a local business VS a chain, but I have never encountered such rude and childish customer service, laziness, and a different story every-time I have called or been in store to try and get my account frozen and now finally cancelled. If you are considering tanning here go spend the extra money for better customer service and for a business that actually values it's customers and your hard earned dollar. STAY AWAY, far far AWAY! read more

I'm not a tanning expert by any means. I only do it before I go on beach vacations so I don't get horribly sun burned and the whole vacation is ruined. I've been to several different salons in Austin over the years and this one is my favorite for several reasons. First, it's locally owned and there's no corporate crap to deal with. No one tries to sell you $90 bottles of lotion. No one tries to get you to upgrade to something more than what you want. Second, it's very clean and pleasant. I've never seen anything of concern. And third, it's a really convenient location. There's always going to be some quirk with every tanning salon you go to. This one's is the cancellation policy as other reviewers have noted. Just plan ahead. read more

I have been going to Tan Etc for a while now and they have been the most enjoyable experience I've ever had at any tanning salon. So easy and helpful and have something for everyone. Alaina is amazing and extremely knowledgeable. She has never steered me wrong with any lotion or bed recommendation. This is the longest I've ever kept a membership because I love them so much! If you're not a tanner, check out the red uv light beds and look up the benefits of that particular light and gives you a glow as well! read more

I love tan etc!!!!!! I always get an amazing tan at an amazing price! I would recommend tan etc above all other places. The costumer service is so great. read more

Beyond 5 stars...Informed friendly staff, never a wait and always immaculate. Cant say enough about this place....Alania is the tanning guru. read more

Management is amazing & the girls are always super friendly and offer the best specials! I have been tanning here on and off for the past 3 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The Far West location offers a variety of beds at different cost that fit your own budget, mystic tanning, and airbrush tanning at such an affordable cost with a wide variety of lotions to choose from! From the service to how tan I get- I give Tan Etc 5 stars! I have referred all of my girlfriends and co-workers there! Plus not to mention, there are so many convenient locations :) read more

Best customer service experience to date. I've been a customer since 2014 and have always had a positive experience. They are a local business and the owner is involved in every detail. Love it! read more

I have been going to Tan Etc on Far West for more than 10 years. The staff has always been super nice, helpful and welcoming, the salon is very clean and well taken care of, the prices are pretty reasonable, and the spray tans work very well and keep me with a healthy (not Tan Mom) glow throughout all seasons of the year. Great job Tan Etc and thank you for everything! read more

Love coming here! Great customer service and always so clean! I've been going the past 3 months after being referred by multiple friends! Alaina is always so friendly and ready to go as soon as I arrive! A package deal/membership would be a great christmas gift for someone read more

Excellent tanning salon! I love this place and the location at Far West Blvd! I've been to coming to this salon for years, have NEVER had any problems! The staff, especially Alaina, is always helpful and eager to please. Tan etc. is consistently super clean with extra towels and supplies and very well taken care of. I love being able to go at anytime or any day of the week, it is never crowded. Thank you!! read more

I love this place! The staff was so nice and helpful, and my bronze spray tan looked awesome!

I know tanning is bad for you, right? Well sometimes, there's a wedding, beach vacay, or a trip to Vegas where a tan body (or just not ghost white body) is necessary. I like Tan Etc because it's cheap to buy single or multiple sessions, and you do not have to sign a contract or buy a package. I have also had an airbrush tan here before. Sure, it's a little awkward to stand naked (or in underwear) in front of a complete stranger.... But the tan is excellent for 4-6 days. You have to make an appointment for this. The beds are clean, mirrors/fans/ radios in every room, and the staff is usually friendly. read more

I've been to many tanning salons in Austin and other cities, this place is the best! I appreciate how clean it always is. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind. The pricing definitely helps too, although the experience is priceless compared to others I've been to. Everyone looks good with a tan! read more

This place is great!!! Everyone is always so nice and helpful! Alaina is awesome she always remembers my name and knows what tanning beds I like, and I never have to wait! read more
