appointments?

[njchica]

do you tan at a salon that uses appointments? do you like them or are they a hassle?

[Laurel]

Mine uses appointments, but we can also walk in whenever we want and if there is an appointment open at that time we are welcome to tan right then.

[CarolinaSizzle]

Mine also uses appts...and also has a walk in schedule but right now its rare that there are cancellations or no shows so its best to schedule. My salon also only books out a week ahead.

my salon does NO advertising and as such I can usually get in whenever I want.

[Anya1976]

nope no appointments... generally i can get right into a bed... (except if i sit talking to the girls working) during the busy season (now) i sometimes might have to wait... or i just upgrade

[meltdbutta]

My salon is part of a gym, so I don't need appointments. I used to tan at a salon that had appointments only. I would make appointments ahead of time because they were busy. I found that many times, stuff would come up and I would have to cancel. I need the flexibility to drop in and tan when I have time.

My salon has appts only also and I find it very usefull. There is always a bed ready for me if I have an appt.

My first salon was appoinment only but they were so booked you had to make them at least 7 days in advance. One of the main reasons I picked my current salon is because they're walk-in only which is essential to my schedule.

My salon does appointments and I hate it. I really wish they'd go to no appointments. I rarely know the exact time when I'll be able to get there.

[TravisMT81]

my salon does appointments but I don;t follow schedules, so I just walk in and they usually have a bed ready for me.

Tropical Tan by Vince Lorraine Has appointments. He is up in Flint, Michigan. But our stores do not have appointments.

[LavenderFleur]

Mine does appointments during the busy season and none during the slow times.

my salon has appointments and walk in's welcome.... i find the appointments to be sooo annnoying because so many people don't show up, and they hold the bed for them and wait 5 minutes into their appt time until they let someone else tan..

[MoraBella30]

Mine does both... I usually try to call ahead, espically now its busy season and otherwise I'd have to wait.

[nitrooverride]

We normally have people just come in when they want and tan when their bed is available. Half of the time people wait though ad it is the tanning season to.

My new salon has appointments. My old place had walk-ins only and I hated it! I always seemed to have to wait and they had 22 beds! My new place has 8 and I never have to wait. they also acept walk-ins, but its a smaller salon, so they are never booked or busy it seems. Also, I have found that the appointments help me tan more! I used to be lazy and not go to the other place cuz I never had an appointment. Now I am forced to keep my appointment or get charged 5 bucks! I can reschedule of course, even up to an hour or so ahead of time, so if it conflicts with my schedule its easily chanegable. Anyone else find the appointments encouraging them to tan more?

i like being able to make appointments in the busy season.

[scout]

I prefer walk-ins but my salon does both. I usually tan around 1:00pm so there is no need for an appointment. But from 6:00-8:30pm are the busy times when everyone gets home from work so appointments are necessary!

[blondie]

My salon has appointments and walk-ins. I find that I love making the appointments because there's always a bed for me when I get there. I could not imagine having to sit around and wait for a bed to open up. What do they do, put your name on a list first come, first serve?

[nikptbo]

my salon has no appointments, and to blondie yes, they put you on a wait list... one time i waited 30 mins for a bed, and they have 10 base beds(i was just starting out) but i had free time so it didnt matter, the place i go to is palm beach mega tan, they rock....waiting sux though...rarely happens, ususually u can tell if ur gonna have to wait ie: lined up to the door...

[colorgod]

my salon has no appointments, and I usually don't have to wait. However, I don't go tan unless I have plenty of time anyway.

[teresa]

No appointments....icky,aky, poo!!!!! That's my professional opinion of appointments

[colorgod]

I knew I liked you Teresa. I never know when I want to go tan. I just try to fit it in whenever.
