I started going to Velocity when I was in high school years ago because I begged my mother to let…read moreme go so I could be tan for prom. The owner himself gave my mom the "411" and a tour to see if she was okay with it. Then she brought me and bought me a month. Now, every so often when I need a bit of color I ALWAYS go back there. All the girls are very friendly and remember your name, which I think is very nice. The prices are a bit higher than their local competition, but what the others lack in, Velocity makes up for in every way. You really do get your money's worth. It's always very clean! I know that in other salons they only give you 4 minutes before your bed starts, I've felt rushed and I never quite get the full time in the bed because I'm still putting on my lotion! But at Velocity, you get 7 minutes before the lamps automatically come on and you have the option to start them before if you don't need the full 7! There are speakers with the radio on in every bed. Sometimes it seems a little loud and I wish they had music with no commercials but hey, it's still pretty sweet. There are several different beds they offer. The 12 minute lay down beds are just fine for a basic tan and on a budget. They have nicer lay down beds that have much more room, so if you get nervous in small spaces, that bed is much better. That bed is quite a chunk of money but I've found that my face gets a better tan and it has lamps on the sides so you get a more even and natural looking tan. The stand ups they offer are just as nice. I would only say to go in the 8 minute stand up. It's alittle more money but it is well worth it. You get a very even tan. But no matter which bed you go in, the staff is very educated on how much time you should start out with and when to up your minutes to avoid burning. This a very thoughtful process and I think it really shows that Velocity Tanning is the best tanning salon around! **This is the only place I will go to!

I'm a small business owner so I see how the staff multi-task. As it's Wedding & Prom season you'd…read morethink the management/owners would have more than 1 girl on, especially after 4pm & weekends. I personally want to say "shame on them". They are definitely taking advantage of their staff. I've been going to this location on and off for about 4 years and that has never changed. It is spotless, the wait and service is actually impressive, again, being that there is only 1 staff member on. That's signing new members up, setting them up for their first time, cleaning the beds, selling products, washing towels, and now setting clients up for red light therapy, taking phone calls, possibly more behind the scenes we don't see...1 staff member. SMH So for the staff, I give them 5 stars. For the cheap owners that are trying to get the most out of their staff and keeping their payroll low, I'd give them a 1 star. Oh, I don't like the music but I keep forgetting to bring earplugs so that's on me.

No photos needed of this chain tanning facility! If you dont know what a tanning bed looks like,…read morethen you probably aren't considering this place. This location is always clean. They have 5 levels of tanning beds, including lay-down and stand-up. They also have the sunless tanning versa spa. In fact, they recently got the new versa spa with heaters! Game changer. Prices are set by the chain. Staff is friendly. I normally am in and out, although last time there was a small line and only one person at the desk. I have also had issues with the desk attendant telling me there is a cap to the number of minutes I can tan. While I can appreciate the concern for someone burning, I know my skin. Also, other locations don't do this and will let you tan for however long you want. Overall, this is a reliable location and I continue to tan here seasonally.

I was trying to get a hair cut done and Serenity's positive reviews impressed me and I decided to…read moretry the place. My experience was excellent and I found my hair stylist (Jemma C) the best stylist I ever got in Connecticut. Too bad, she left the place soon after I did my 2nd hair cut. The place is super clean and spacious. They offer a lot of beauty products to buy. I did a facial service too from here and it was good, nothing worth mentioning. This place is located next to another popular salon (nail and wax room) in Wallingford.

The next day my forehead was burning and I had red bumps all over it . I called to find out what was used on my face and the ingredients and they said the girl that did my facial wasn't in but I will call you back after I speak to the owner . The girl calls me back and just stated it is all dermatology tested . Its been over a week and my face ( forehead ) is no better its actually worse, so I have to make a dermatology appointment now. The owner of the spa or the young lady that did my facial has not even called me once to see if Im better , or nothing . Thats not very good customer service at all , the owner should be ashamed of herself . Never again will I go back there , and to the woman that get facials find out whats going on your face before its done !

I saw Nicole for the first time today and she did a beautiful job with my lashes! I will update my review if I go in for a tan. Nicole was very kind and accommodating. She is clearly knowledgeable, and makes an effort to keep the space comfortable and relaxing. She has a very sweet dog who sits quietly the whole time, and it was a treat to meet her. Nicole was able to accommodate me even though my booking was done the night before, and I was so glad to have the opportunity to get my lashes done by her! UPDATE (2/2017) I have now been for a tan and I loved it. I did the rapid organic tan. I can't believe I've never done this before. It's amazing for two reasons: 1. You can shower after two hours. That's right... no more trying to go 24 hours without letting your body touch your sheets or your clothes or another person. 2. It smells seriously great going on. It does have that "spray tan smell" over the next couple of days, but it's so mild. I work in an office where I know they would tease me relentlessly if they noticed I had gotten a spray tan (hi guys ). I think for the first two days it was pretty noticeable (not orange or anything, just mysterious for February), but by the third day I looked perfectly sun kissed. The color stuck around beautifully for a full week and I still have a kiss of it two weeks later.

I contacted her last minute for a spray tan and though her weekly schedule was packed she squeezed me in on her day off! (Could you believe that?!) She didn't use it as an excuse to speed up the process. She was informative, thorough, and patient. A chemist at work, she took the time to find the right cocktail color for what I was after and a few days later I'm happy to say it is beautiful. I have had so many compliments and I can't wait to recommend her to all my friends. She even followed up to see about post tan care and if I was happy. Thank you Nicole, I am very happy!

As a small family business they truly care about their clients and don't see you as just a number or some contract to lock you into like those other corporate companies! The facility is super clean and very well maintained. They are knowledgeable about the true science of tanning and care about your results AND safety! They make sound recommendations for tanning times and necessary products to maximize your time and $$. For those who are uneducated or new to indoor tanning, ALWAYS USE A QUALITY LOTION FROM A SALON! Online products are NOT the same and oils should NEVER be used inside as it actually damages the acrylic on the bed!! You MUST use a verified tanning lotion, keep your skin hydrated and rely on the product to boost that natural melanin production in your skin. Lastly, always remember that everyone's skin is different. If they tell you that you can't tan max time, IT'S FOR YOUR SAFETY!! They know what they are doing and I for one will always value a business who cares about their people and their wellbeing more than the sale!
