This place is way overpriced for what you actually get. First of all, it very outdated. The decor has a Weekend At Bernie's vibe and the beds look like they came out the same year as that movie. They also use an appointment system for higher level beds. They don't advise you of that when you're buying packages. The bulbs in the beds aren't changed frequently. Twice in a row I got into an Ultrabronz bed only to find that half of the bulbs were burned out. The young brunette that is usually working there during the day on weekdays is always FaceTiming with friends or her boyfriend is visiting so I suspect that's why the beds aren't being kept up with. She did apologize for the error the second time and tried to make up for it...I'll give her that. read more

My spouse and I spent around $200 in tanning packages at the location in Laurel, MD. When we returned to the salon a few months later to begin using our tans, we were told that our packages had expired (exactly 3 months and four days after purchase). The sales associate had assured us at the time of purchase that we had six months to use the tanning packages. But the owner refused to offer any sort of extension or compensation, rudely explaining that ALL tanning packages expired after 3 months. So beware -- this is a dishonest business operated by an unusually ill-mannered owner. read more

I absolutely love this salon! It's always clean and the beds actually tan you very well! I've gone to a few different tanning salons and I get my best results from tropical tan! And they have multiple locations so no matter where I'm coming from I can stop by and get my tan on! Keeps my skin clear and me happy! read more

I will never go to any of the Tropical Tan salons that this man owns. Today I called to see how many mystic tan sessions I had left. A few months ago, I was told that they were extended and I had until December or January to use them. Today, the girl in Columbia said they expired in August and only the owner, Jimmy, could extend them. I called the Laurel salon and spoke with him. Talk about a condescending jerk! It costs them 0...ZERO to extend the sessions. None of the product is used or gone to waste, so why can't they be extended?? He was unwilling to listen and rushed me off the phone with a "thank you". I then told him I'll never go back again. I was trying to patronize a small business instead of a chain but I won't now. I hope people see these reviews and take note. I wish I had. read more

No problems low key,fair prices...never tanned in bed b4! felt great,relaxing...people polite, friendly.

I have been coming to tropical tan since moving to MD and n 2014. Last year I bought a package of 5 tans. I went to use one and f them today and was told that my visits has expired and that was there policy this was never communicated to me and when did I asked about it they pointed to their pricing board. I still couldn't see this and thy had to point out the line to me. Basically I paid for something and they are not giving it to me read more

Always friendly, always clean, and always have beds available (I use the unlimited package with regular beds)! The staff seem well trained and know what they are talking about. They always ask if you need lotion, and have a good selection on hand, but are never pushy about getting you to buy from the salon. I also like that they have several locations, and since I am moving I am happy to know there is another location by my new place! read more

This location is closed. Google another salon in the area...Solar Escape lounge is good read more

These are the best beds in the area. Always clean and great customer service esp w Kari the manager. Turbos and 950 beds are the best and don't burn you either ! read more

Completely dissappointed with this place. Ive been using Tropical Tans for almost 10 years now... How is it that NO ONE has ever told me my sessions would expire? I bought 6 sessions a year and a month ago, which were way overpriced to begin with, I come in for my birthday and they cant even let me use ONE of my sessions that are less than 30 days expired. So they took $75 because I wait until the weather is nice to tan. They should have a notice by their front desk or at least have people sign a waiver saying they understand they can loose money but nooo why would they actually advertise that the sessions expire when they can just pocket the money instead?? I am beyond livid, i will never be returning and i will make sure everyone i know does the same. read more

RIPPED OFF!!! Management is NOT FOR MILITARY FAMILIES WITH UNPREDICTABLE SCHEDULES!!!!!!!!! Bought a "special" for 7 mystic tan sessions. At that time I informed the sales girl that I was only going to be in the area to do that day and maybe one more before my vacation and then I would not be back up to Ft Meade until Spring/summer of 2017. I was "RE-ASSURED" by that sales girl that if I used them WITHIN A YEAR it wouldn't be a problem!!! Silly me! I was NOT informed that my "special" would expire in 3 months or I wouldn't have done it! VERY disappointing because I am a military spouse and moving around and scheduling is crazy and frequently unpredictable! I can only do Mystic Tan or similar now because I have had several basal cell carcinomas removed after years of regular tanning.... There is a sign present in the salon today which states the RIDICULOUS Time limit on sessions but I bought a "SPECIAL " and was NEVER TOLD I WOULDNT BE ABLE TO USE MY SESSIONS later. BAD BUSINESS!!!!! read more

I ABSOLUTELY love this place. I have been going here for many years. Great energetic, helpful & knowledgeable staff. I noticed the staff turnover seems slow so it must be a well run business. Beds are great and effective. Outstanding lotion selection that's moderately priced. Great lotion & package specials. I highly recommend and will never stop coming here 1,000,000 stars I would rate this place if I could!! Immaculately clean as well read more

Great experience! Brittany S was AWESOME! She was so friendly and took her time explaining everything to me. She even let me use her tanning lotion. (I had just stopped by to check the place out and forgot my 50% off coupon, but not a problem. Brittany is the best!) read more

I worked here for 6 years (10 years ago) and have stayed a loyal customer ever since I stopped working here. I even have unlimited free tans at Planet Fitness, but continue to tan here bc the salon is clean, the employees are awesome, the beds are good, and the bulbs are consistently changed. read more

Staff are always friendly and informative! However I came here this morning at 10:30 and the store was not open even though website and hours posted on the door said they open at 10. Disappointed read more

Been using this tanning salon for years. Today no more. I'm giving this tanning salon 1 star for the sweet staff that work there, not those who own it. It has the worst customer sales tactics. Whoever is running this place has no clue on how to please customers. Start off with the limited hours they're open. The last tan available is 1/2 hour before they close, an the latest they stay open is 8 on weekdays. Come on, it's 2018, some people work long hours and want to spend their money tanning but operating on bankers hours to run a tanning salon, sad. Move onto the over priced beds and your blessed if the face bulbs are working when you use them. That's happened many a time. Then you have the lotion that is so much cheaper on Amazon! How about the fact that if you have to go out of town for work, you are not allowed to put your tans on hold!?!???! Other salons I've been to up around the US will place a hold on your account so you don't lose tans and time. Today I learned that if you don't use tans you have purchased within a month, they're taken from you. Money you've spent is stolen from you. To put a cherry on top of that, you would think any common sense business would have the ever changing rules such as expired tans posted somewhere visible as a heads up. It's called keeping your customer base in the know. That's if you want to keep having customers. In the 8+ years going to Tropical Tan, the staff has been great to work with but when you want to speak to who runs the joint, you hear crickets. it is conveniently located on Main Street in Laurel but from now on I'll drive a little extra for a much better and smarter salon. read more
