The BEST tanning salon in town! Family owned small local business, super friendly/helpful staff, and amazing deals! Also very clean and organized! They have a large variety of tanning products so it was great finding something perfect for my needs, plus for a great price! They also have a HUGE selection of swimwear year round! They have a large variety of services! 4 different types of tanning beds, plus spray tanning, red light therapy, and a water massage capsule! Plus they just renovated and it looks spectacular! Come here if you're looking for a great tan and great service!

Excellent staff who are very knowledgeable. I was in need of a little color before going to Caribbean and the manager helped me to get a base tan while not burning.
