City Sun Tanning

05/27/2008 Posted by nycgirl171

I just signed up for an unlimited membership, having switched from my old tanning salon and being recommended this place as the best. The service was great - Kenny answered my questions and even gave me the student discount after seeing I was holding an id. I didnt even know it was offered there so that was really nice. I was able to tan on my first day after signing up and was really impressed by the machines. The place is very clean, spa-like, and I'm definitely looking forward to being a member there.

I have lived in LA, New York and Dallas and have never found a tanning salon that compares with City Sun. The high pressure bed is amazing! Their beds do not give a fake tan look, but a golden "real sun" look. I highly recommend this place not only for the quality of the equipment, but also for the friendly service.

I never write reviews, but I felt compelled to here (everyone has been asking me where I went !!) I'm from Florida and love to rock a glowing tan, I'm so glad I've found a Happy place to tan (energy is so important) Employees were nice and smiling (which after a long day was nice). The form was like taking a test but I guess that is for safety reasons. The waiver is on the BACK of what you sign, they don't tell you that. I love the wet towels that smell DIVINE! (don't forget to grab one when you walk to your room). Clean and little mints ...its my escape to the beach! Pitfall - Sometimes there isn't anyone at the front and the line piles up, when everyone checks in they accompany that person to their tanning room. I just have to TRY to go at less traffic times.

Pros: EVERYTHING

Cons: Waiting

I love this place! Seriously, I would not even think of tanning anywhere else. Everyone that walks through the door is greeted with a friendly face and great personality. I love the staff there! Gabi and Kenny are so helpful! They are always able to make suggestions on lotions and beds. The store is very clean, welcoming, and has a lot of options for people who just want to get a tan before going to the beach or anyone tanning year round. I've been a client for over a year and never have had a bad experience.

City Sun is in a great location (right near Union Square) and is super clean. My tan came out very even and looks great. I highly recommend this place!

Pros: Clean

City Sun talks you into, and takes your money for, tanning packages, and if you don't use the package within a certain time frame it expires. So what happens if you can't tan within the time frame (tanning isn't at the top of my priority list, that would be reserved for things like working for a living), ultimately, they take your money and never provide you with the service. Their pitiful excuse was that they had books to close . . . absolutely irrelevant. They received the money, they took that money into income when received--what difference does it make when you use the facilities? They should at least assign a cash value to the service so that if rates jump up dramatically (and they haven't) you get the benefit of the value you have already paid to apply to current services. I will not use their services again.

Pros: ok tan

Cons: service

Never tried the tanning thing before. I googled "best new york tanning" on a whim and found City Sun via this website. They gave me a little bit of a ribbing when I asked a ton of lame questions, but were cool about it and very informative. I walked out having spent a bit more than what I was expecting, but the experience was very high-end and spa-like, and the results were good so I had no regrets. I look forward to going back and using the rest of my sessions.

Pros: Great atmosphere, friendly staff

Cons: Not for people on a budget

I've been getting ready for my wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii. I've never tanned before but decided to try it. Boy am I glad I did and that I went to City Sun. They were totally patient with me--explained everything, went the extra mile to make me comfortable. I'm a little fair-skinned and they made sure I ramped up slowly to get a great even tan. Plus the whole experience is so nice and relaxing--which you really appreciate as you're going thru the craziness of wedding planning. The big day is next weekend and I couldn't be happier with the results. And after Hawaii I plan to get some sun even during winter right here in New York at City Sun.

Pros: Friendly, Clean, Professional

Lies, show where it is written on my contract if you can, and show when i gave you my authorizations to charge my credit card, and show me when you asked me to go somewhere else cause I do not remember that and so the friends who were with me that day.

I read the below review (referring to the staff as rude) and I have no idea what they're talking about. When I went to City Sun I was greeted by an extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. They explained everything to me thoroughly and the place was clean, well presented (think upscale spa....not your average tanning salon) and the amenities were great. After being at City Sun, I would not go anywhere else!

Pros: Friendly staff, great tanning beds, clean & well presented

Cons: none!
