I love to be tan, but don't want to use tanning beds anymore due to how harmful they are. I have tried a lot of places around town using the machine method and even for how OCD I am about applying the lotions on hands and feet and perfecting the stance it just never turns out "perfect." After years of applying it myself with good enough results I had stuck with that until I stumbled across Kayla's instagram page. I AM HOOKED! Her application is absolutely perfect. No streaks, no orange, no terrifying hands and feet, and it's quick! I used to dedicate a whole evening to doing it myself and it took up a lot of my time and still didn't get the perfect results I get after a spray tan with Kayla. Highly, Highly, recommend her! Her pricing is reasonable, and she's really nice and makes you feel totally comfortable.

Until I found out how much they overcharge for everything. For tabs they charge $3/minute while another salon that has the same beds and is just as clean charges $5 for a 10 minute tan. And then the lotion. I paid $25 for lotion the last time I was in (about a year ago) now all of the sudden their cheapest lotion is $65! When I look online or look at other tanning salons that exact same lotion, same brand type scent etc, only cost $28. On top of that a bunch of their desk staff has been creeping on my social media after I made a post about the prices. They've been repeatedly checking back for HOURS and viewing everything I'm doing. It's so creepy and unprofessional. Don't ever go to sunsation! Don't support these scam artists! Find another salon!

Zero stars. There were used hair covers all over the floor (and I'm not confident that the one I…read morewas given to use was new). The spray tan left me with blotchy orange patches, uneven and it would be almost comical, if I did not have to cancel a planned photo shoot until after the orange fades. I ended up opting out of the bed tanning that I had prepaid for. I was not given any info on the operation of the bed and had to call the attendant to ask her how to start the bed. Then, the bed was dirty. I was not given a towel, nor eye protection, and after using my shirt to cover my eyes and finding a small, ragged towel in their cabinet to use, I could not stay in the bed longer than 30-seconds before I realized I better get out. It was BROILING hot. When I got out, another person had been using another bed and when asked how it was he said "too hot!". My husband was there for the whole thing, being very patient. I told the attendant I decided not to use the bed after all, and she told me she could not refund my money because she was not a manger. I told her ok, when they could generate it in day or so, that that would be fine. After three days, I never heard from them so I called the owner after tracking her down (Crystal), and she told me she "tough" and hung up on me. Their motto is ""We promise to deliver the highest quality in customer satisfaction through our knowledgeable, highly talented and friendly staff", but what I experienced was the complete polar opposite of that. In every sense. The worst part was the owner Crystal's complete unprofessionalism and rude, desperate behavior. It is clear she needs the $49.00 bucks more than I do. She hung up on me when I told her I would like the refund that I was promised and I guess that's what she calls "customer satisfaction". And yes, I have been to tanning salons, and received spray tans and been in tanning beds before. Just never had such a negative experience. In fact, I used to own a private, commercial grade tanning bed of my own when I lived in Palm Beach.

I arrived about 10 minutes before and was greeted and asked if I wanted tea, coffee, or water. Picked my color, sat in the chair, and started the pedicure. At first I thought the leg massage was a bit short but oh no, the leg massage came AFTER the polish was applied. The massage was likely the best I have ever received with a pedicure and doing it after gave the polish time to dry. What a great idea! (I've never had that happen before). Small family-run business with three pedicure and two manicure stations. Clean and bright, even on a dreary, rainy day. My salon at home advised me to stay away from salons that use the plastic bags so I was happy to see they were not used here. I didn't ask ahead of time what the price was and was pleasantly surprised to learn it was $40, less than I pay at home. There was no upsell pressure, just one of the best pedicures I've ever had! Easy five plus stars!

We booked a couple weeks in advance and ended up going on Sunday, rather than Saturday, like we wanted. Oddly enough, they're closed on Saturday. We arrived early for our appointments and were quickly greeted, given forms and asked to use slippers. Within a few minutes, I was taken in for my massage and my friend to her facial. The rooms are lovely, and the spa itself is quite small. Fully functional and they're making great use of the space, but definitely small. My massage was awesome... deep tissue, which is my preference! She worked some magic indeed! When doing more than one treatment, you change into a robe. They have a lidded basket for your belongings and it's taken to your next room with you. I relaxed in one of the pedicure chairs drinking cucumber water while I waited for my facial. Rooms were changed out quickly and the aesthetician took me into her room. She did a great job, however was a little heavy handed a couple times and really spoke too quickly in the beginning, coming across as extremely rushed. As a medical aesthetician myself, it seemed a bit odd, since it didn't come across as calming, which is generally a goal. I kept my credentials to myself, because I personally like to see how services are provided and preformed when they don't know. When all was said and done, I was quite relaxed and we were both very happy with the experience overall. So much more than the local spa we went to last year... to the point that my friend didn't even remember where we went. I guess you know it's less than mediocre when you've blocked it from your memory. As I sat in the entry putting on my shoes, we wondered what they do with the slippers, hoping they're not put on the rack for someone else to wear... moments later a gal comes out with antibacterial wipes, wipes them clean and puts them away. Nice to know! We both agreed, we will definitely be back!

It's done out of a townhouse in a residential neighborhood. I do not know if Sue owns both sides, I never asked. I went here about once a month, maybe a little longer in between visits as I was told just come when I can after asking frequency. I now know with my new electrolysis person that you should be coming every 2-3 weeks to get the job done and to keep up with hair growth during active cycles. When you enter there is typically classical music playing and a couch for you to sit on and wait. If she is with someone upstairs she will come get you when she's done. It did seem odd it was out of a house, but there are a lot of home businesses. It did not seem unclean to me. Upstairs you go in a room and it looks like a lawn chair covered in blankets and a towel. I felt a little odd about this, but still proceeded since I was so desperate for hair removal. On my first consult Sue did let me feel what it was like just so I got an idea. That was nice, since it was an unknown. She was always friendly and chatty with me, which was nice. My only complaint was she would drink coffee during the sessions so I had to deal with coffee breath. I now know that you should let the hair grow 4-6 days before electrolysis to actually see the root and how the probe needs to go in. With Sue I would just let it grow for a day and go and I don't know if that was the problem or not, but she never said anything about it. I felt the probe go in, but then it felt like she was plucking them out. A properly treated follicle should just have the hair slide out and no tugging from plucking. All in all I never saw results. The plus was she was friendly, the cheapest in town, open Saturday and always could squeeze you in, but I just didn't have results.
