More modern than Past Tan, but not as current as Present Tan…read more As you know I'm big into tanning, and that means that this place is somewhere that I've been a couple of times - and the last time I came in to inquire about stuff and found that it's actually really expensive so that was kind of annoying - but yeah. They were extremely friendly with all of our enquiries and if I did live in Manhattan or if I'm in Manhattan soon and need something tan-wise, or Barbie does, we will very strongly consider this place because of how nice they were. I wouldn't say affordable but I would say well worth it.

I love it because I can run in and get one and then run a few errands after without looking crazy so this place really comes in handy. Today it was so nice to run in & now do a few more things and know a tan is developing and it won't ruin my coat. I also use their UV and red light here. Their red light machine is different than why I'm used to, I don't use it every time because of that but sometimes I do. Their UV booths are the best my favorite is the one with red light. This is worth the membership and I've never had to sit and wait for a machine or a tan it's like 30 min of my time & sometimes it's a great pick me up.

The salon is in the former City Sun location which I used to go to. The set up is pretty much the…read moresame but the beds have been updated and are good. The staff is amazing! The sessions are appropriately priced. My only criticisms are I wish I could just press the start button inside the bed instead of having to wait for the lights to come on or pressing the blue button that's on the wall. It would also be convenient to be able to keep a bottle of lotion there but I get it. Space is a premium and people leave it and probably forget they left it there. Other than that it's pretty good. I haven't done the spray in this location so I can't review it. But they do offer it along with red light therapy in what looks like a giant shell.

I have had a very less than pleasant experience with Beach Bum. While signing up for a membership,…read morethe financial instructions were extremely unclear and my card was charged $500 with a three month financial commitment to the beds ($250 upon signing up, $140 the following month, and $110 the third month). I asked for clarification regarding the steep recurring costs because it did not align with the information online and what I was "sold" when signing up in store. However, the staff gave me confusing information with no clear explanation or support throughout the process beside stating that it was what I agreed to within my contract and that tanning is a luxury service. Additionally, I have not had a good experience with the bulbs in Beach Bum's beds. I regularly tanned for three months and after a few weeks of not going in, I am already back to my original color. Even worse, I have white, pigmented circles all over my chest and shoulders. They are concerning. (I am aware that I willingly went to the tanning beds and this is a risk of my decision, but it is unfortunate and not something I have experienced at other tanning salons/beds.) Brittany, the manager, was kind enough to contact me in regard to my concerns once I voiced my frustrations with the company as well as cancel my membership on the spot. However, I will no longer be a customer at Beach Bum. Pictures are attached as proof for the condition of my skin.

Really, the pricing here is great, and they have an unbeatable Groupon for new members (anybody saying the Groupon isn't honored is because they've tried to use it consecutively ) Thanks Tanning Spot!

Jackie informed me that anything they do would fade considerably by the time my event came around. She said she would ask her boss for a recommendation in California and call me back. Within five minutes, she called me back with the name of a salon in California. They went above and beyond without knowing me. They were honest with me as to what the results would look like if I did it a week ahead of time, even if it meant losing the business. When I do decide to use a tanning salon in New York, this will be the only place I will be calling. This is old school customer service at its best!
