[HANtanSON_lover]

Yeah, their prices are pretty high. But, I guess that they can charge them and still get people.

Their monthly prices are nuts.

[Summers Tan]

I saw this salon profiled in a tanning industry magazine awhile back.I'm sure it is an awesome place but I would probably only be able to afford to go buy a single session once in awhile to try their beds & treat myself.I don't think alot about my tanning expense but those prices are way out of my price range.They do have a few beds I have wanted to try,though.

[AEseany808]

Thier prices really arent that bad... i pay more for a single session in their base beds, and the HPs are the same price here and the Mystic Tan is less there than it is here in Mass. They also have nicer beds than us! I would be happy to go there, it looks so nice!

[tiger tan]

It says that you can share your single sesson package with another person.

[ladyboss]

Their singles sessions are very average for the beds - they are the same prices that my chain salon charges but their unlimited packages are much higher - I can get the Titanium pkg. at my salon for $179 1 month unlimited and theirs is $249.00 for the same beds. It's the type of salon I would use to treat myself for a single session in the really good beds.

[AEseany808]

their packages are around the same as ours... for the beds we have which arent as nice as those ones... our salon is small too, we only have 4 base beds (1 hase face tanners), one stand up, and one sunstorm... i have to travel to another salon for the HP....

[allabouttans]

Wow.. if I got that much for the monthly packages I would only need to stay open a few months a year!!!!

[Denisa]

i would never pay over $20 a month for tanning..

[Sc0tt]

Their single session prices aren't too bad at all. Only $20 for mystic, 25 for L33, 20 for Sunboard!! Not bad at all!!!

[kgushanas]

Wow mystics are expensive everywhere that I see. At my salon, mystic tan is $35/ month unlimited, I think that's a good deal.

[ohiogirl]

Wow that is so much! I tried a new salon out and they are $25 a month unlimited and I think that that's too much. I'm glad I found my salon either $12 or $20 depending on whether I want the premium package with some free upgrades or not that month.

[Lyndsey Nicole]

They are a little pricey but it seems like a cool salon to go to...

[tannymctannerson]

I think those prices are fine. the monthly unlimited seems to be pretty average, for where i live anyway AND the beds are new and obviously in good shape.

[cass489]

I would never ever pay that much to tan when I can go outside and get it for free. Their really nice, upgraded packages like the Matrix beds are pricey but they have to charge that to get the money they sunk into those beds back. Tanning bed prices are outrageous! Those upgraded beds cost $50,000 and up! So charging $25 for a single session is really not that much considering the cost of the bed.

[~*Melissa*~]

EKKKKKKKK, outragious

[Oobladi]

It would be a nice salon to visit as a special treat, but other than that it's to rich for my peanut butter and jelly blood.

[sammer]

I pay $100 for only 5 tanning sessions. It's not unlimited. I wouldn't mind paying the amount on that page. However, I do wish people like me who pay this much each month would get some sort of discount or deals. I do wish it was cheaper, though :\

[ruthless]

See now I'd be just as happy with a clean salon with the same beds and less decorations and crap. If you can knock $$ of the price of tanning, do it, and leave my walls white and un-"beachified".

[ruthless]

Also, the "Points" thing seems a bit rediculous, but I suppose that's how they allow people acess to all of the beds as opposed to buying minutes at each level. And as for the cost of the beds, I'm pretty sure you can finance them. Which means making payments. It's a nice "place" but not somewhere I could afford to tan on a regular basis.

[kgushanas]

Whoa! $199 for unlimited Mystic? That's outrageous! It's $35.00 unlimited at my salon for the mystic. And $25.88 umlimited for base beds.

[Gidget]

These prices are almost exactly the same as the prices in Montreal except we are talking CDN$ here!

[Misty]

Thank God I have my own bed!

[christamarie]

All their machines are new and top of the line. I have the Tropical 41 as a base bed at my salon which I charge $8.00 a single and theirs is $10.00. Their monthly is $99.00 mine is $45.00. I also have the Cayenne and they have the upgrade of it called the S Class which is a great bed. I charge $15.00 a single they charge $25.00. Most salons charge $1.50 a minute for Cayenne or S Class, in RI anyway. I think that they are a little overpriced but if they don't have any competion they can get away with it.

[RainCloud]

I think they are overpriced, but whatever the market will bear. I guess people are paying the price...lol

[Kris]

i love that salon..it looks so nice,,,i would love to go there and see it...the prices are really not that expensive...the salon i work at now has a few of the same beds and the prices are the same and some at my salon are even more money than theres

[PSUaddyb2]

If I had the money, it wouldn't bother me!

[wannatan]

It's cheaper than our tanning salons, and our salons are tiny little sheds!

:: [X] ::

[Scott]

Its really not that expensive for an upscale salon, they have a great selection of beds, dont they? it sounds like a great place. but I wouldnt be able to do anything but a single session every now and then.

[ruthless]

Their lotion selection isn't impressive, and who gives a rat's *** if your salon has a waterfall? If I didn't have to pay for it, I'd go there. But then I suppose I'd be a broncos cheerleader, and that's not going to happen.

[PSUaddyb2]

If people will pay it they know they can charge it!

[wannatan]

I have to say, the place does look amazing. I wish we had something like that here. Not that I could afford it. I would if I went to America though!

I pay $49 bucks a month for unlimited tanning... That's a pretty typical rate around my parts

[sherlynn 01]

overed priced if you ask me!

[christamarie]

I judy went on their website for the second time and know that I really looked at everything it really isn't that expensive. Even though the machines they have either, I have or seen at other salons for a lower price per session seem high it is b/c of name of the salon. It is a franchise, and looks unbeleiveable inside. Did you see the moving screen and the rooms of all the machines? If you look under buying into the franchise it is like $600,000 to open. Everything in there salon is top of the line and that is what you are paying for. I really don't care for their lotion line though. I think it is a very nice salon and if I was in that area I would probably tan there, it looks clean, nice, and all their machines are new and the best.

[rocker-tan]

Those prices are outrageous! But I guess that's what happens when there's no competitors.

[wannatan]

That really is the case with tanning

:: [X] ::

[Goldie]

The S-Class is $249 a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

[1racebabe]

$100 for 5 sessions!! I would tan there, definately. Maybe not all the time, but once a month would fit in the budget of a single mom!

[~*MoTan*~]

Obviously this salon is marketing to a diffrent cliental than the 20 or 12 dollar a month person... im sure this salon cost in the upwards of 600,000 dollars to build if not more..you really think they are gonna want people to come in wanting to spend just 20 dollars on a month..no they are wanting the people who have that kind of money to spend..and there are lots of those....i think the prices are very reasonable..you have to factor in the rent they have to pay, the loans they have to pay ,the light bill, they also, im sure, had there employees educated ect. ect. im not saying the 12 - 20 clientel is cheap or trashy..im that clientel but i also know good quality when i see it....this is not some run of the mill tanning salon..this is big bucks..and anyone walking in there is ready and willing to spend big bucks. Did any one look at all the awards this salon had won...i dont think my salon has won any awards. if i had to money i would go there...but i dont..but man it would be nice!

[wannatan]

I'd tan there if I was like a celebrity or wealthy enough to indulge myself a bit... it looks like such a theraputic environment, like you're on holiday. And it looks like they've made a lot of effort on the place. I agree with MoTan about the client thing.

:: [X] ::

[valifay]

Those prices are the same if not a few bucks less than where I tan. But I guess if your used to paying $20 a month then it sounds expensive ( I'd looove to find a nice place for $20). I'd go there. It looks like they have nice beds. Anyone wanna plan a trip?? LOL

[Kris]

as i said in an earlier post...there pries are about the same at the salon i work at.did u guys check out there specials page...there specials areawesome...there is one 4 like almost every bed,, matrix, s-class, black energy..etc. for only $60.00

[dakoto70]

I would use a place like that to treat myself every once in awhile

[tanmanslam]

That is quite bad I wouldnt never pay that much for tanning!
