Beaches Tanning Salon

BEST TANNING SALON AROUND! And I've been to many all over the country. The cleanest tanning salon…read moreI've been in... bar none! Truly spotless. Unlike many others I've been to which may or may not leave you feeling sticky... :P ;) Clean and a modern aesthetic. Very calm vibe... music is always great and on a rotation! Country, to Hawaiian reggae, to classic rock and everything in between. Now to the good stuff: The tanning beds are all luxury and KBL. Red light is incredible and definitely works. The staff: the FRIENDLIEST staff . So very very helpful and always willing to go above and beyond! All the girls are total dolls and don't just zone out on their phones but rather engage with customers and make you feel very welcomed. Willing to answer any question too!!! For reference - This is unlike many tanning salons, where the girls are usually distracted, seem bothered when you ask them questions about services, and are generally just kind of rude. NOT HERE! Actually warm and friendly women. Products: honestly... They stock some of the best items for Tanning/red light therapy in the industry and most are top sellers and are all backed up by science and research. Varying degrees of prices for products for everyone's budget. But sometimes... You get what you pay for! Meaning the more expensive tanning lotions are priced such as they are loaded with skincare ingredients, skin, tightening ingredients, etc., etc. (That's just my personal experience and take on things.) Overall, I recommend this place to anyone looking for a little pick me up, to relax and get a little me time. Check out the massage chairs ;)

You can watch or not but the vibe is nice. I recently tried a Gel-X manicure for the first time. Being unfamiliar with artificial nails, I initially chose the wrong shape. Once I saw the educational video on-site, I realized my mistake and asked to change the shape. Unfortunately, the technician's reaction was very unprofessional. She became visibly angry and "hot-headed," which completely ruined the relaxing experience I come here for. While I understand the late change was an inconvenience, the lack of temperament control was disappointing.

The owner/lead person rolled her eyes again. The nail technician asked me how old my daughter was, and when I answered, she audibly huffed and rolled her eyes again! I'm not sure what her issue was, but she was clearly annoyed by my daughter and I being there. I told the technicians not to even worry about it and that we would find somewhere else to go. The owner/lead person simply waved her hand at me like she didn't care while we left. I will never go back.

I recently purchased a really good deal online last January 2012 for a facial for my daughter and…read moreI. We arrived to the salon not really knowing what to expect because I had never heard of the Copper Zone before. When I walked in I was a little nervous because it is a tanning salon not a normal "salon" where you would get facials, and treatments. Meredith came out and greeted us and I was even more nervous as she had sweatshirt and jeans on, not typical esthetician professional smocks. She then walked us into a little room, which was probably used for a tanning bed before facials were offered. The room was not a typical, salon type room. It was very bare and not esthetically pleasing for a soothing, pamper yourself, type of treatment. Meredith was very friendly though and started by shaping our eyebrows. She listened to what we wanted and delivered very well. We were both happy with our eyebrows. She then did the facial for my daughter while I waited. Then it was my turn. Once she started and I closed my eyes I forgot I was not in a nice salon. She did an amazing job. Very relaxing and thorough. Meredith had high standards because my sister is an esthitician so I know what a great facial feels like. I was very pleased and would highly recommend Meredith for facials. Her normal prices are very reasonable. I think if you can look past the fact that this is a tanning salon and not a spa, you will find a diamond in the rough with Meredith.

Horrible customer service, especially on the management's part…read more I started the introductory package in March where it came with one conventional bed and two super beds. The conventional bed was uncomfortable and small. The super beds are larger in size and variety. A few weeks later, I purchase a super bed special for the month and was able to stand up or lie down. Since then, I have not tanned. Well, I came in and purchased their 10 conventional bed special for June; 10 sessions for $35. Little did I know that all the conventional beds are the same size, unlike the super beds. The reason why I'm explaining the beds is to prove a point. I have a D size chest and when I lay down in the conventional bed, my chest and my face are touching the top glass. When I flip over, the top of my head and my ass are on the glass. It is both uncomfortable and unpleasant to lay down for 20 min like this. I requested a refund and they denied me. When I asked to speak with the manager, I was told I would receive a phone call back. After not receiving a call, I came back the second day and was told again that a manager would call me. I even checked to make sure my phone number was taken down correctly. Now, day 3, I come in and the worker says she spoke with the manager and she said because I already knew what a conventional bed felt like from the introductory package in March, she would not do anything for me. I'm sorry. What? How am I supposed to know all the conventional beds are the same when I only used it one time prior. I've used different super beds that varied in size and time. Had a manager actually called me instead of playing this game with the associates here, I may have been more prone to leaving a better rating but since nothing was done on their part, 1 star it is. I'd have to say they need better communication, customer service and management skills. After my 10 sessions are done, I will NOT be back. And I do not recommend this place for anyone with a big head, large chest or any body part that is bigger than a 12 year old child.
