Alex C.

I am SO glad I ended up with a gorgeous tan for my wedding. Everyone kept saying we were glowing, and trust me, it is not because of our love haha. I was back and forth but going from winter in NYC to a Jamaica beach wedding... I really didn't want to look like a lobster by day 2, which would be my wedding day! I expected to look pretty good from the tan, but I did NOT expect to look that good! I also felt amazing, coming to this tanning salon with my partner the month before our wedding honestly was the highlight of our wedding prep experience. It led to us taking better care of our bodies in general, and whitening our teeth, using nightly face masks. Self care wasn't on the top of our bucket list - but this whole experience brought us to the next level. And to top it all we are OBSESSED with the staff. Everyone who works here is incredible. Jason, Tristan and Sarah are just the best. And Jason gave us a killer spray tan before our flight, we will be rocking another one of those for the honeymoon (and who knows, maybe a random Tuesday). If you are even considering tanning (spray or bed) just go here, don't look anywhere else! It is so worth it.

Something dripped from the ceiling in the spray tan booth down my face and neck. I'm praying it looks okay tomorrow. It was so hot and no fans or lighting. The people were super friendly but it was dirty. The spray booth had a shower cap and dirty towel inside when I got in. The second star was because the staff was super friendly. It is more affordable than most places. I did the spray booth but seems like most people were getting custom spray by the tech. Might give it another try if it comes out decent since I have to use the second one within 30 days. Probably won't go here before a big event though.

Shotty bed with all that dust.

Best tanning salon in NYC hands down!!!…read more I have been coming here for years now and have always been extremely happy with my results. I love the salt lamps, wood floors, and the overall location and ambiance. I have been spray tanned here several times and I am a regular tanning client for their beds too. The customer service is always impeccable, and I feel like the staff and managers are not only super knowledgable but also take their time to make sure that people get the best advice and guidance for their skin, which lotions should be used, etc... I recently started using their LightStim LED bed as well, and I am sooo impressed with the improvement of my skin. Not only is this salon really central to everything, but I also love the camaraderie here. After a few years of being a client I have met other regulars and honestly for people to use the same tanning salon for years and years is a testimony to the fact that they aren't a revolving door. They seem to really care about your happiness here and that to me is good business. I actually cannot believe I haven't written a rave review until now because they are one of those businesses that you naturally share and talk up to other people. (*Side note: before I went in for the first time, I checked reviews like any smart person would, it seemed (and still seems) the only bad reviews on here really are in regards to spray tanning... Sorry but these people must be idiots to put it bluntly, they clearly just don't know how to pay attention to direction? I am fair skinned with freckles, and I work in TV; therefore I spray tan frequently and always look perfectly sun kissed on set with no issues whatsoever) If you want an amazing tan and overall experience, you should definitely come here! Don't waste your time or money anywhere else. xoxo!

More modern than Past Tan, but not as current as Present Tan…read more As you know I'm big into tanning, and that means that this place is somewhere that I've been a couple of times - and the last time I came in to inquire about stuff and found that it's actually really expensive so that was kind of annoying - but yeah. They were extremely friendly with all of our enquiries and if I did live in Manhattan or if I'm in Manhattan soon and need something tan-wise, or Barbie does, we will very strongly consider this place because of how nice they were. I wouldn't say affordable but I would say well worth it.

The salon is in the former City Sun location which I used to go to. The set up is pretty much the…read moresame but the beds have been updated and are good. The staff is amazing! The sessions are appropriately priced. My only criticisms are I wish I could just press the start button inside the bed instead of having to wait for the lights to come on or pressing the blue button that's on the wall. It would also be convenient to be able to keep a bottle of lotion there but I get it. Space is a premium and people leave it and probably forget they left it there. Other than that it's pretty good. I haven't done the spray in this location so I can't review it. But they do offer it along with red light therapy in what looks like a giant shell.

I have had a very less than pleasant experience with Beach Bum. While signing up for a membership,…read morethe financial instructions were extremely unclear and my card was charged $500 with a three month financial commitment to the beds ($250 upon signing up, $140 the following month, and $110 the third month). I asked for clarification regarding the steep recurring costs because it did not align with the information online and what I was "sold" when signing up in store. However, the staff gave me confusing information with no clear explanation or support throughout the process beside stating that it was what I agreed to within my contract and that tanning is a luxury service. Additionally, I have not had a good experience with the bulbs in Beach Bum's beds. I regularly tanned for three months and after a few weeks of not going in, I am already back to my original color. Even worse, I have white, pigmented circles all over my chest and shoulders. They are concerning. (I am aware that I willingly went to the tanning beds and this is a risk of my decision, but it is unfortunate and not something I have experienced at other tanning salons/beds.) Brittany, the manager, was kind enough to contact me in regard to my concerns once I voiced my frustrations with the company as well as cancel my membership on the spot. However, I will no longer be a customer at Beach Bum. Pictures are attached as proof for the condition of my skin.

The first time I went to a sugared and bronzed was in LA. I had gotten a lot of spray tans and…read moreannounced this one was the best I'd ever had. It was super exciting for them to expand to nyc. I get two light coats and have never had a bad experience. If you want a spray tan, this is the spot.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING and honestly upsetting experience. My little sister ran to her appointment…read moreand arrived flushed and a little sweaty, and the technician -- I believe her name was B -- proceeded to wax half the area before suddenly stopping and telling her that she was "too sweaty" to continue and that she would need to wait 40 MINS + an additional hour if the next client showed up. For context, my sister has been getting waxed regularly for over eight years. She is athletic, healthy, and this has never happened to her before. She was not dripping in sweat or experiencing anything extreme -- she had simply rushed to make the appointment and was flushed. None of that should even matter in terms of how respectfully a client is treated, but it made the reaction feel even more disproportionate. The technician told her she would need to wait 40 minutes or longer before they could continue, in part because another client was coming in. That is where this started to feel less like a legitimate waxing concern and more like a scheduling issue that my sister was being blamed for. I could completely understand saying, "Let's give you a few minutes to cool down so the wax adheres better." But stopping halfway through a service and telling someone to wait 40+ minutes is a very different situation. I have also been getting waxed for around 10 years, including throughout hot and humid New York summers, and I have never experienced or even heard of someone being treated this way simply for being a little sweaty. Beyond the explanation making very little sense, telling a client she is "too sweaty" in that manner is incredibly rude and inappropriate. There are professional, discreet ways to address moisture without making someone feel embarrassed or ashamed of their body. The fact that half the service had already been completed before this suddenly became an issue also made me seriously question the technician's judgment and experience. If it was genuinely unsafe to wax her, why was the service started in the first place? This is also a waxing salon with fans and powder available to help keep the skin dry. What made the situation even worse was what happened afterward. My sister called me on FaceTime while she was there and was literally in tears trying to advocate for herself and explain that the situation had made her uncomfortable. When my other younger sister later called the salon for more information, the woman at the front desk described my sister as "aggressive" and said she had made the staff uncomfortable. Well let me tell you, I'm the oldest sister and our youngest sister doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. It made me so sad to see her shakily defending herself. She was upset, embarrassed, and trying to stand up for herself while crying -- not behaving aggressively. All the receptionist had to do was apologize! Getting defensive with emotional clients is never the answer. If you are the owner please review the call as they are all recorded. My sister also told me that after the waxing specialist left the room, she overheard waxers giggling nearby. I cannot say whether they were laughing about her, and I won't pretend to know that. But in that moment, after she had already been made to feel embarrassed and vulnerable, hearing staff giggling only made her feel even more humiliated. Timing, discretion, and basic emotional awareness matter enormously in intimate services like waxing. At the end of the day, this felt like an inexperienced waxer and a scheduling problem being turned into my sister's fault, while her feelings were completely dismissed. A client should never leave a waxing appointment feeling ashamed of a normal bodily response, humiliated, and then be labeled "aggressive" simply for saying she felt uncomfortable. Stopping a service halfway through, giving a questionable explanation, making the client feel embarrassed, and then dismissing her reaction afterward is unacceptable. I would not recommend this location based on how this was handled. SHAME ON YOU ALL YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. MEANGIRL ACTIVITIES AT THIS LOCATION!!!! also not this is not the first time ive heard of other issues at this location. DO NOT LET THE FOUR STARS FOOL YOU. TERRIBLE STAFF HERE.
