I can only testify to the mid-level, 15 minute Ergoline membership level. I'm usually assigned a different bed each time I go and they are all about the same. I don't think they change out the bulbs very often because there are always several burnt out ones, so you are not getting the full bang for your buck. The beds are in poor condition, sort of banged up, sharp edges, cracked pillows, etc. Conclusion: This place has been "ridden hard and put away wet". I won't be renewing my membership unless they plan a major overhaul. read more

First I'll start out by stating that I don't really tan. If you've looked at my picture you will see that I'm a redhead, and I have the fair skin that goes along with it. Lucky me. Actually, I rather like my hair and my skin, because my skin does have the potential to tan. Not very much, but I can get pretty dark for someone so naturally pale. I usually don't burn very easily either, with the exception of that first day out in the sun of the summertime. That first day is too much for my skin after a winter of skin hibernation in darkness under layers of clothes. Which brings me to my first trip to a tanning salon ever. I was going on a trip to the south, and it wasn't quite warm enough here in Ohio to catch some rays naturally, so I decided to prep my skin for what it was about to endure with a trip to a tanning booth. My friend, who tanned from time to time, told me about a special going on at Tan Pro. It sounded really hard to beat. It was just an introductory offer, so I know it got more expensive after you finished your trips included in the offer, but I have no idea how much. Anyway, it was $6, and you got like 30 minutes or something like that. You could choose which tanning bed you wanted to spend time in. I didn't realize that there were different beds for different strengths of UV rays! And you could also decide how many minutes you wanted to spend for each visit and for whatever bed you choose. This Tan Pro was pretty close to home - I lived north of campus at the time of my first visit, and it was just north of Dodridge on High St. It didn't look like the nicest place from the outside, but on the inside it was fine. The outside of the building says "Tan Pro" in big yellow letters. It's hard to miss. They had a parking lot on the north end of the building. That first day, I went with my friend. We walked in and I guess it wasn't quite what I expected, seeing a tanning salon for the first time. There was a front desk and then hallways that led towards the back of the building with doors all the way down. These turned out to be the individual tanning rooms. We had to wait in a little line, but it moved quickly and soon I was up at the counter. OK, here was what was so weird to me about this place. All the people working here were really tan guys! And every single customer that I saw was female. For some reason I thought that women would be working here, at least a few. But it looked like guys ran the place which made me feel a little apprehensive. But they were all quite tan, so they obviously took advantage of the work benefits. I won't get into the fact that I think it's weird when guys go tanning a lot (it doesn't seem masculine to me!) but it's like these guys were trying to be beautiful people. I wondered if they had these jobs to pick up fine tan women. Anyway, when I got up to the counter I had to register with them. I also didn't realize that I had to be put in their system and they had to check my ID to make sure that I was over 18. This is the kind of stuff that makes me nervous about tanning. I know that it's really not good for your skin, since if you do it a lot you're at a higher risk for skin cancer (which redheads are already higher risk anyway) and your skin will age prematurely from the exposure to UV rays. Tanning just isn't my thing. I love being out being in the sun in the summer, but I also love sitting out and putting sunscreen on all day. I learned that you couldn't use sunscreen in the tanning beds. I guess you can buy these tanning lotions, which turned out to be quite expensive and didn't have any SPF like sunscreen. Maybe I was missing some info, but the employees didn't exactly explain it to me very well. The guy checking me in acted like I was worthless for not knowing anything about tanning. So I was going to have to brave it unprotected. I chose the least powerful tanning bed for only about 7 minutes or so. He had me sign in on a sheet and then he gave me a number to the tanning booth. I also saw those stickers at the counter - the ones you stick somewhere on yourself while you tan to compare your skin before and after. I took one, not realizing that they were like a dollar apiece! I found this out later after my tanning experience, but the guy at the counter hadn't even noticed that I grabbed one. They're cheap stickers, I assumed they were complimentary. Anyway, I walked down the hallway until I found my numbered room. I went in and closed the door that kind of unfolded to shut. It was a nice cozy little room - just enough room for the tanning bed and a chair for you to throw your clothes on. I undressed, put the goggles on and pressed start on the bed, it started. The timer was preset and there was a radio by my head that played annoying Top 40 hits. It turned out to be quite relaxing and warm. When I was done, I got dressed and left. That was it! It was pretty easy, and I did return a few times. But tanning just isn't my thing. I prefer the natural sunshine! read more

Tan Pro - from the Tan Pro website - Tanning Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Staff is always very courteous and helpful, no complaints there. Unfortunately they seem to have very weak bulbs, ESPECIALLY THE PERIMETER LOOP LOCATION! Seriously, it's a waste of time to even tan there...and a waste of money! The Perimeter Loop/Dublin location is the only one close to me, so now I have to travel further (fight traffic,^gas, ^ time), very inconvenient! C'mon TanPro, spend some $$ and CHANGE THE BULBS! read more

I really have nothing to compare to, here, but they were good to me. I went tanning for a skin problem (before switching to professional-strength UV at my doctor's office), and the people here were always pleasant and quick. The size of this location means you almost never have to wait for a bed. In addition, they have the cheapest basic tanning package I found - $13 a month and you can tan every day if you like (on their basic machine). I don't know how their other rates compare, but they're cheap and nice and clean, so good for them. read more

Got a spray tan here and after I received a terrible rash which my doctor told me was due to the spray tan. Employee sold me a package saying I would be able to get a refund if it didn't go well and now corporate is not helping me in anyway when I spent $40+ on something I can no longer use. Terrible place for customer service, they lie and do not help. Also terrible place for sensitive skin. Stay away. Try palm beach instead read more

Awful customer service, never greeted upon entering, dirty, was told my package was longer than what I paid for and manager did nothing. What happened to the customer is always right. Very disappointed, will never spend my money in that place again. Polaris location. read more

First time tanning and I have already had such a great and wonderful experience. I love this tanning salon so much!!!! I have defiantly seen a difference in color!!!! read more

The beds are filthy every time. I used to ask for a spray bottle to clean them myself but it just got to be too repulsive. I can understand just doing a rushed clean and missing spots but when you can literally move your finger through the grease and lotion on the top and bottom of the bed then you have a serious issue. I contacted the company via email to express my complaints and never heard back. I told the workers about the filth and they assigned me to equally filthy beds. If you're not trying to tan in other people's gross butt sweat, then I recommend looking for a different tanning salon. read more
