It makes me sad to see bad or mediocre reviews for this place. If I could rate it higher I would…read more I am a self tanner by bottle and have tanned in beds in the past. I am used to old beds with bulbs burned out, long wait times, pushy sales people and lengthy contracts. Sun City has none of these. The service has always been substantial. One of the girls who works in the evening is a delight and she always strikes up a conversation - she's so sweet! Definitely makes you feel valued. I purchased an unlimited package. It's around $80 a month. Very good for the service and the selection of beds. You're always helped right away and can get into a room instantly. You get five minutes to prepare and I was informed this the first time I went in. Normally to disrobe, lotion up and get the music and googles ready takes me about 3 or 4. 5 minutes is plenty of time. Also I purchased a lotion from a recommendation as a starter lotion with a good scent. It was $30 plus tax. It is about $20 on Amazon - plus shipping and tax - very confused about other reviews saying they are selling $18 lotions for $60. I checked some other lotions I was interested in purchasing and I have never seen a high mark up like that. They also do deals to get higher priced lotions cheaper if you buy packages. The studio itself is clean and tidy. They offer sample lotions of about $2-$8 to try before committing to a bigger bottle. That's nice to offer to customers. They also have a referral card to refer your friends for a free tan. Even though tanning isn't the cheapest habit I'll be continuing to go here cause I love the experience and the results. Don't listen to the bad reviews on here and give it a chance!

Sometimes being an active member of the Yelp! Community requires you to go places you wouldn't…read morenormally go...which explains why I recently went tanning. I figured I would try Sun City because they obviously have a sense of humor. I mean, seriously, they wouldn't name a place you go to make your skin darker after a symbol of apartheid injustice in South Africa unless you had a really twisted sense of humor right? It's not just ignorance...it's clever... Right? ...anybody? Anyway, I checked into booth four of their 11 booths because I saw on the Sun City Web Site that Karl Wolf tanned there (yes, THE Karl Wolf! cue the crickets). Karl must have felt a real connection with this place because of his song that Toto wrote called Africa and Sun City's aforementioned South African namesake. But I digress. Since this was my first tanning experience, the staff was helpful in telling me what to expect and what I should do. I put on those silly little goggles and before I knew it I was cooking...literally! A few minutes later I was out and feeling a little toasted. I can't say I'll be going back because I felt a little silly, but if you're into looking golden brown 24/7 this might be the spot for you. But the name is still awful.
