Great experience from woman-owned business. Went into Yelp to check the hours and saw the few negative reviews by people all the way across the country and think those must be bunk reviews. These gals are professional and seem to take a lot of enjoyment through sharing the relaxation and health benefits that come from their services. Facilities are clean and welcoming. Seven tanning beds and one red light bed with different lotions to sample or purchase based on your goals. Monthly or by the minute rates. The first Friday of the month is "free tan Friday" where one can use any of the beds for free. These ladies also support community youth events through business donations. read more

I love this place. I have been going here for years. Seems like every year they are constantly improving the place. The ladies are always friendly and the goodies there for sale are amazing. There is awesome music always playing. I have tried a couple of the other places in town, but this is by far the best place in town. read more

Staff all on drugs. Don't use the bathroom or you will most likely find puke in the toilet. It's a front shop. Owner is disrespectful and won't shake hand or speak to customers or employees unless it is to yell. Tanning beds are old with broken bulbs I feel bad for everyone that has been tricked into thinking this is a good location. GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN read more

So as I looked up the hours this morning I saw a couple of the previous reviews and was baffled. First I am so white it's scary like porcelain skin I have previously been a member of California sun and have never gotten that tan look I had been chasing one month here I was easily 8 shades darker if not more! There beds are amazing the owner takes so much pride in insuring her customers get the best she regularly changes the lights which is really nice. As far as price it is about what anywhere else is. It's not cheap to keep up with the maintenance so why people expect great beds at no cost baffles me, even the huge chains in the valley charge more. I love the staff they are all so sweet and helpful, I personally know most of them and can guarantee that no one would be using drugs and I can't even begin to fathom who would say that or have the grounds to feel like they should. All in all this tanning salon is amazing and the only salon I've been able to reach a deep tan that I've always wanted. read more

First, I would like to say, the customer service was excellent. But, I have to say that I was disappointed in the tanning beds. I got the lowest setting bed because I had not tanned in like 3 months. I asked for the full 15 minutes because I could jump out any time. I only paid for one session because I had never been here and I wanted to make sure that the owners kept up with changing their bulbs at appropriate times. I went the full 15 minutes, and I did not see a color change (I darken very quickly due to my ethnicity). So my conclusion: the bulbs are SUPER weak. I recommend going to the salon that is between sonora and Twain Harte. You can tell that owner keeps up with changing the tanning bulbs/lights. It's worth the drive. Super disappointed. read more

If you like to tan, I recommend that you shop around before signing up at Ultimate Tan Sonora ... The prices are steep and in addition they charge 10% sales tax ... YEP, that's right, 10% ... I think that might be illegal actually ... They are open half day on Saturday and closed on Sunday when most people want to tan ... They also close for every imaginable holiday and then some but will not extend your "package" for the days that they were closed and you could not tan .... Think twice before tanning here .... It's a "pass" for me .... read more

I understand she " runs" a business and her " time is really limited and no one seems to care about that" but for her being a business owner you'd think her priority would be staying in contact with your clients, who are paying her salary to keep her business and herself a float. I understand she's young and is still Learning what professionalism looks like but this is how you loose cliental or future clients. This is a small enough town that word gets around. I hope the best for Kylies career By the way.... I didn't even want to give a star, but I couldn't post this without giving at least one star for the review....
