    I've been going to this place regularly over the years as it's right in the centre of town and very…read moreconvenient for anyone living or working in the city. Unless you walk up the hill directly from the back entrance of the train station, chances are you wouldn't know it's there. However, as its been running for years I always see the same regular faces which shows they have a good clientele base. There are 5 stand up sunbeds available, and I think there is a lay down one too but I've never used that one. I have to admit, these are not the strongest sunbeds I've ever been on but I think if you're a first time tanner or a regular user then this salon would be a good place to build a gradual tan. Before you go in the sunbed, on your left you'll find a range of face cleaning products, hair bobbles (one for the girls) and some goggles. They also sell a range of tanning creams which will prolong your tan so definitely worth asking about these if you pop in. The girl on the front desk always smiles and says hello even when I'm just walking by to go to work.

    I have been coming here for over a year now, probably two and always find the ladies on reception…read morefriendly and welcoming. They are knowledgeable about the products, and always upsell where possible without being pushy. They do stand up, and lie down tanning beds as well as spray tanning here. I always opt for the spray tan, as I'm very consious that using sun beds would probably play havoc with my ultra sensitive skin! I would recommend the Mystic tan which can be sprayed in a range of shades. This is an automatic spray booth that you step into, is very easy to use and has voice activated instructions. The ladies are always on hand if you have any questions, and explain everything very clearly if you are unsure what to do. The tanning shop is in a great location, behind the back entrance of New Street train station and therefore is right in the city centre. They also have offers available on a regular basis. They always have booking slots available for a time that is convenient to me, and there is a good footfall of customers throughout the time I am there. All in all, if you are looking for a sun kissed look I would pay this shop a visit!

    There is nothing really wrong with Lilly Brown's but i'm not too comfortable giving it extra…read morestars.i'm not one to advocate sun beds. At £1 for 3 minutes, soaking up the UV rays is extremely cheap and if you are desperate to get a tan then i guess Lilly Brown's is the place to go. For the more health conscious there are spray tans available. Everythign is unmanned so it would probably be best not to go alone incase something goes wrong...we've all seen the Ross from Friends moment!

    First of all I must confess to not using the horizontal and vertical modern and high powered…read moresunbeds offered by Lily Browns. For starters I'm a bloke, and even in this age of widely accepted metrosexuality, using a tanning bed is just one step too far for me. However I do live with four girls who frequent the place enough that my opinion is an informed one. Firstly, the place is extremely clean and efficient. Tokens for the beds can be bought from a machine which ensures that should you be a little on the vain/self concious side, discretion is assured. The place is unmanned which means it is almost always open; I have come back from a night out at four and stumbled in for a glass of cold water! At £1 for 3 minutes, (15 minutes maximum due to strength!) it is extremely competitively priced and the spray tans they offer were convincingly natural enough to make me think my housemates had been on holiday!
