I've met 3 different members of staff over the last week and each one has greater me with a smile and been cheery and friendly even at the busiest time on a Friday night.

Now, I don't normally like stepping into places like this - there are a few other cuprits round here. The main reason is that it associates me with those very fake tanned, thin eyebrowed, fake manicured nail wearing girls some of whom I went to school with. And who I believe to have no other interests other than making themselves look "good." Fortunately when I popped into Tone Tan Tastic I knew it was fine. It looks classier from the outside and is slightly more expensive than the nearest place which offers the same. But trust me its worth it - I went in to use a sunbed which I do basically once or twice every winter, no more. Just to give my skin a perk up, I blame my ex flatmate who used to go to a 50p one all the time. Its friendly, efficient and easy to use in here. I also enquired about their Power Plate exercises - the Tone part. They have 20% off at the moment and it is much cheaper than the studios I went to in London, even without the offer.

But still, if you're after a manicure, pedicure, full on pamper day or just a few minutes under a sun shower, this is the place for you to find all the UV delights! Given that this place has huge glass windows showing off the interior and the beauty sessions within, it is very clean and well presented. The staff all look happy and I dare say some of them look very 'tanned'. I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives the closer to the outskirts of the city you get, but it's in a good location for that quick spray tan when you feel too pale to get the train!

Having just moved back to Lancashire from London I can confirm that the experience here has been better than ANYTHING I experienced in London. Jennifer and Kerris are so welcoming, friendly and professional. There's such a warm feel to this salon that instantly puts you at ease. The interior is also brilliantly unique - make sure you check out the shelving and lighting in particular! Jennifer has taken such care choosing the products they use - my hot bikini wax was almost painless! My polished toe nails are still going strong after 4 weeks and the massage I had from Emma was the best I've had anywhere. Highly recommend.

Michelle is absolutely lovely and she performs an award winning french polish in record time, even throwing in a spot of nail art and diamante gems all for £7.50! This girl can work wonders with torn cuticles and she transforms your nails into beautiful works of art. What I like about MIchelle is her honesty- when I recently expressed my WAG like desire for a full set of acrylics, she point blank refused because she would not, on principle damage my healthy nails. For those whose nails are not as blessed as mine though, Sunset City will do a full set of falsies for £25 and infills for only £19. Sunset City also have a beauty therapist on site who will take care of all your grooming requirements and prices are inexpensive: an eyebrow shape is only £5 and there are a range of pamper packages which make for excellent presents. This is a tanning salon with manners, there are three lie down sunbeds and three tan cabs all stocked with goggles, hand towels, flannels, deodorants and moisturisers. Large designer department stores and self-professed "spas" may have the wow factor, but Sunset City has all the know how and talent. My life would be far duller without Michelle in it, and my nails would be lacklustre.
