Been waiting for it to get better since it merged with Verano.....NO purple bulb tanning beds yet…read morethey are still charging the same astronomical amount. Not worth the money for what you get. I really REALLY do not like going here....unfortunately it's one of the only ones in town...if not the only one....can't wait for a new tanning salon to be built. I will drive further to go to it because anything else would be better at this point.

At Bliss, their sauna got up to 142 degrees (yeah, baby!!!) and was only $15 for 60 minutes. They also have bundle deals, so if you want more than one session, you can save even more money! Oh! And they had ice cold eucalyptus towels to cool down with in the sauna. Such a nice touch! I wish I had something like that around here because I LOVE a good sauna! I will definitely visit again the next time I'm in Traverse City.

The other review shouldn't scare you from visiting this salon. I've gone to most tanning salons…read morearound this town and I would say Desert Sun is one of the top 3 best tanning salons around here. Desert Sun has the hottest bulbs, compared to the other salons. I will get darker quicker, even with my first tanning visit. As for getting an airbrush tan, I've never got one done at Desert Sun, but I've done it before at two different salons and both times, I had the same problem as the other reviewer. I don't blame the salon itself, but I blame the airbrush tan. I'm assuming the other reviewer and myself, did not follow directions correctly. I even used lotion from a very upscale salon for the mystic tan. But somehow, it always comes out that way. I personally don't like the Mystic airbrush tan and this has happened to everyone I know who has tried it. But as far as the salon goes, I would recommend this salon for anyone who wants a good, solid tan. I don't recommend the airbrush tan for anyone, at any salon. I'm really sorry to hear about her tanning disaster, 2 days before her wedding. But she should have played it safe, for such an important moment in her life, and she should have just got a normal tan in a bed, a week before her wedding. Or, go to one of the upscale salons and use those extreme beds that get you a perfect tan with 1-2 times use. Its the same price as the Mystic tan, and its a 20 minute process. But you do not burn, get skin cancer or anything less than a perfect tan. NEVER use Mystic Tan 2 days before your wedding!!!! My only rant about this salon- The staff isn't as knowledgeable, as other salons. The employees are all young kids, fresh out of high school who look like they came right out of a Gap commercial. They kinda just 'work there', instead of becoming familiar with their products and beds, like other salons. But they aren't bad, I've seen worse.
