Friendly staff. Quick service even when they are busy. Very clean. I'm happy to come here and refer my friends.

I really enjoyed my experience coming here. I booked a spray tan a few weeks before my wedding to just see if it was something I would like/want to do again beforehand. I forget the name of the gal who does the spray tans, but she made it an incredibly easy and pleasant experience. I was nervous because I've never had a spray tan, let alone set food in a tanning salon ever before, and I really didn't want to look like an Oompa Loompa. She was so helpful, guiding me through what I may be looking for, and through the entire process. It's slightly awkward to stand naked in front of a woman you have never met before, in a "shower", while she blows cold air on your body, but she was so professional and kind. I went back a second time because I did choose to go for it for my wedding and she was exactly the same way. I so appreciated it! read more

Haven't tried the tanning service's.. But find myself in here shopping for camis and active top's.. service is great and the girls who work at the front are very nice :) read more

Everyone was super friendly and the place is very cute, but I got a spray tan before my trip to Mexico and no one could tell I even went. Friends that knew I had scheduled my tan asked if I had cancelled my appointment. I also wasn't told about the time frame for standard vs rapid solution so had to then plan my drive to the airport accordingly at 5:00pm. Unfortunately I was not the bronzed goddess I wanted to be in Mexico. read more

Wonderful people working the front desk. Always kind and have a good attitude even at 7:30 am.

I was really excited about trying this place and was told good things but I honestly wouldn't recommend them for spray tans. Everyone was really nice and the place is very clean! But this is literally the worst spray tan I've ever gotten and I've been getting them religiously for years. It was super uneven, large parts of the tan just missing, splotchy, and all around poorly done. I have multiple big events coming up and am literally embarrassed to even go anywhere with this tan. read more

Really nice, extremely knowledgable staff that are very helpful. Wide selection of tanning bed types. Make an appointment before you though, so you don't have to wait. Student discount :) read more

See all

Wow! What a cool place! The hostess (more than just the girl at the counter) was the best- super friendly and very knowledgeable about the beds, times, products, etc. They have variety of services and beds AND gorgeous clothes and accessories. Easy parking. Very affordable. Highly recommend! read more

5 stars because I've been coming here since I was in high school, and although I don't get tans anymore, their tanning lotion and their clothes are still always A-1. I've given lots of bday & Christmas gifts from here. Thank you!! read more

Awesome and super cute cover ups, dresses, tank tops, and blouses. I walked in to a friendly staff and walked out with cute clothes.

This salon is amazing, everyone here is incredibly friendly and accommodating. All the employees work extremely hard to make sure all customers are helped in a timely manner. There's never pressure to upsell things like some of the other establishments in town. When you come here you are supporting a highly reputable local business and never experience unfriendly corporate vibes. I will continue to remain a loyal customer as long as I reside in Chico! Thank you so much tropical zone for always providing a comforting and relaxing experience! read more

Always friendly, great prices. No hassle to cancel. The best in town for sure... I drive out of my way to go here. So worth it.

This is literally one of the worst spray tans I've ever gotten. I expected so highly of them from the reviews, to the price, to it being an actual person instead of a machine. I'm convinced a machine would have done better. Splotchy all over and darker in some spots than others. On vacation looking like a fool, thanks tropical zone read more

Had a great first experience here! Got an airbrush tan for Coachella and it looks great and even everywhere. The appointment was quick and comfortable and the ladies made it super easy! Will definitely be back next time I need a quick tan read more

So clean and friendly staff! Great package prices and they honored my Yelp Check in coupon! I hadn't been here for 15 years, glad to see it has only improved in quality. Looks like I'll be golden brown for New Years! read more

Needed to get my tan on for a Caribbean cruise. This place is great, lots of options! All the girls I encountered are really sweet and helpful as well! read more

Loved this place! Everyone is so nice and my spray tan came out perfect! So happy! It's super clean and the staff was super informative.

I've been doing spray tanning for years. Living in different areas I tried many different places. Tropical zone has the best spray tan ever. Thank you read more

Not only is TZ great place for tanning they have an awesome selection of CUTE clothing! This place is GREAT! I love that the girls and the owner know my name when I walk in the door. They are very personable and they typically remember my favorite beds and tanning time. They are open at 7:30 am; it's great to be able to tan before work and not have to fuss with it after a long work day. I feel like they have educated me on tanning (UV-A and UV-B, etc.) and really want me to get the most out of my tanning experience. They recently got some new beds, several lay downs, stand up, high pressure and spray tan: ALL of which I have tried and they are all great! Pricing is great as well, VIP membership ROCKS, plus you 10% on all other goodies: clothing and tanning lotions! read more

Best tanning place in Chico. Their beds actually make you dark! I've had memberships at Cal Sun, EuroBronze and Electric lounge and I get just as tan at Tropical Zone in two sessions than I did in a whole month at the other places. Prices are reasonable, great customer service on the phone and in person! Many different types of beds and memberships to choose from which is nice. read more

I absolutely love tropical zone, everyone is super friendly and their prices are great. The VIP program makes tanning even easier and they always have the cutest clothes! read more

Been going here on and off a couple years now. I would come here while I was on leave from the Marines and the owner would give my brother and I special deal since we both were only home for a couple weeks. Owner is very friendly and as well as staff. Went in last minute tonight while they were closing and Carly allowed me to get my "T" on. She opened up a bed for me and even let me do max amount of minutes while she waited patiently to close. Best Tanning Place in Chico! read more

The staff is SO RUDE! The blonde girl that works at the front desk was always so mean and snobby every time I came in. I will NEVER go here again or recommend it to anyone! So disappointed. I've never had any staff treat me so rudely. Will definitely talk to the owner about my bad experience. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience at Tropical Zone. I wasn't sure which route to go for the events I have over the next year. The spray technician I spoke with was very knowledgeable about the products and listened to what I wanted out of a tanning salon. I ended up going with a spray tan because I am fair-skinned and didn't have much time. She was very professional and explained the entire process to me to make sure I was on board. I wasn't looking to be ultra-tan, just not my usual paper white and she hit it right on the head. The color looks great! Thank you! read more

I've tried nearly all tanning places in town and my heart lays with Tropical Zone. Their prices are great and the owners are amazing people. Best place in town, that is for sure. read more

Always friendly staff , they have a lot of great products in the store also.

I have been in Chico for 15 years and have tried various tanning salons but just keep coming bak to Tropical Zone. The owner and all the employees are really nice and they always try there hardest to get you in. Great beds and great clothes. This is where I will stay as long as im tanning in Chico. read more

I've been going to the tropical zone for close to ten years now. I drive from across town for this tanning experience. I appreciate the cleanliness and the quality equipment. The staff is friendly and always on top of of the job. They also carry cute tops and miss me jeans! I love not having to go downtown to buy jeans:) read more

Staff down-sells products and services and shuts down before they close. I didn't get a tan going in three months of tanning here. I don't know why I didn't get the best package. I was willing to pay. I miss Perfect Tan :( read more

Great spot to tan! Strong beds, clean, lots of lotions to choose form, friendly staff and cute products. Since I found Tropical Zone over 3 years ago no other salon matches their qulity and service. They have many options in packages for all budgets too. I also am very impressed with their hours, very flexible for the working person, open early and close late, open weekends too! read more

Super friendly staff. Super clean facility. Plenty of beds so the wait time is never very long.

Absolutely love this tanning salon! Everyone who works there is so friendly and welcoming, the owners included (I've seen them passing through a number of times when I've gone in to tan). The beds are awesome and always clean/ready to use. I won't tan anywhere else in Chico! read more

Love this place! The staff is super nice and I've never had to make an appointment, I've been fortunate enough to just walk in and get a bed which is awesome! I got the lay down bed package for 1 month due to a vacation coming up and although there are cheaper places in down you really can't beat great customer service and CLEAN rooms....plus so crazy contracts and I can bring my own lotions! No pressures to buy anything; quick, simple, and fast! read more

I finally decided to tan for the first time and after reading the reviews I decided this is the place. I called and asked if the gal had a few minutes to answer some questions. I can't believe this but she actually said "not now, I'm here alone and have a lot to do.", and then went silent! Does this place not have a portable phone where she could walk around and answer a couple questions?!? Customer service must not be a priority. read more

Just started at Tropical Zone, and I am very happy with my experience so far! I visited several shops in town before choosing who I would tan with and TZ stood above the rest. Very friendly staff and they are actually educated on the equipment used at the salon. More bonus points for being able to bring in your own lotions (some places in town don't let you), student discounts, and the great coupon in the Chico Yellow Book. read more

Nice tanning salon atmosphere & employees, but it had horrible spray tanning equipment. I'm very pale skinned and have been doing spray tans for years and one of my friends turned me on to Tropical Zone because it's cheaper than most places and let's just say I can tell why it's cheaper. It left me with blotches of tanning solution, drip stains everywhere and parts of my body are still white! Thank heavens it's cold outside and I can cover my body up! I don't recommend this to anyone! read more

Before this week I would have given them 5 stars but that has changed. I purchased a spray tan package, no expiration and digitally tracked by their computer system. I used all but 4 and had found out I had a skin condition that kept me from using the remaining spray tans until recently. I called and was told they had a new system installed and I wouldn't be able to use my sessions because my name no longer was in the computer amd my sessions had been lost. Now I realize it has been some time since my purchase but I had called a year ago and asked about my remaining credits. At that time I was assured the tan sessions would not expire and would be there when I wanted to use them. I went in a few days ago and again tried to use my tan credit. I was told there was nothing they could do but I could pay $35 for a spray tan. So to wrap this up, they have a nice salon. No high pressure sales, nice equipment and clean. I would have recommended them to a friend. The customer service is lacking, they didn't care what I had paid for nor would they e en try to make it right. I asked for the manager amd was told hed be back Monday but he wouldn't be able to do anything because they had recently installed the new conputer software and my 4 paid tans were lost in the switch So for this I feel they have poor customer service and lack integrity. read more

I went in for the first time Friday and loved it! Gwen was the one who sprayed me and she was was amazing!

I really really wanted to like this place! My mom has been using them on and off for years. There monthly plans seem very well priced and the customer service is outstanding! The ladies are so nice and knowledgeable. With that being said my sister and I both came in for a spray tan before a family wedding. We got two different kinds (mine a 2 hour hers an 8 hour) after following instructions we both showered after the appropriate amount of time and in the manner in which they told us to shower. Day one we both looked good. Day two tho (day of the wedding of course) we both started to notice spots. Big spots all over of missing tan. I would have to shower morning and night by end of day two because my neck would get all streaky. My sister got these tiny spots all over both of her arms. I am very sad it didn't work out and I will definitely not come back for a spray tan to this place. I am currently googling "how to get rid of a bad spray tan" wish me luck. read more
