Darque Tan

Great tanning salon. Only had to wait for a bed once, but that was because I came during the lunch rush. I never bought a membership or package, I did the 4 weeks for $ 44. Best. Deal. Ever! I know much about tanning so I had bought a lotion on my first visit. What I didn’t know was that indoor tanning lotion is heat activated, so the moment I left it in my car, in the heat, the lotion no longer worked because it had been activated by the heat in my car. Due to that and due to how many people do that, I understand the hounding of buying lotions. However, they have amazing deals on lotions so I was never really worried because not using a lotion is wasting more money than buying a lotion. The girls who work there are super friendly and they tried to remember my name every time I walked in.

I never do this but this is an FYI for all future customers of Darque Tan that are looking to use the tanning bed for only a short amount of time.
The girls are super friendly and the beds are quite strong even at the lower levels– which is always a plus because you are getting your money’s worth. However, I just canceled my membership and after calculating money spent it totaled 140 dollars for two months. I am not a frequent tanner but paying more in fees than the actual monthly payment is crazy to me. I believe that the training for the employees on contracts needs to be enhanced. Maybe I was just unlucky and got a new employee that wasn’t as knowledgable on the membership fees and differences. After asking for a month membership, I didn’t find out until today that the girl signed me up for an annual membership (which includes a 30 dollar cancellation fee). Make sure you know the start up fees and cancellation fees in advance before signing anything because it isn’t worth the extra costs in my opinion.

Quick service and clean place with updated beds.

Very very disappointed with this location! First of all when I first signed up for my package the girl that signed me up acted like she had no clue about their packages she wasn’t very informative but she could of been new. I didn’t want to spend a fortune because I just wanted to start building up a tan for the summer. I started going in July (canceled my package in August) and all the girls who worked there were very nice to me and I never had any problems with them at all, EXCEPT for the times I went and the manager was there. Her name was Kaylee Peavler or something like that and beware of her. For some reason every time I went and she was working my bed wouldn’t turn on. I know how to turn on a tanning bed as I used to work for a salon. The first time it happened I was like whatever, but then every time I went and she was there it happened again and again. She always seemed in a bad mood and was not friendly at all! I was sick of getting undressed just for the bed to not turn on and then go back out there to tell her, then for her to give me attitude like I don’t know how to use the bed. She said she would «reset it» and for me to wait in the room for it to work again. I missed out on 5 minutes of tanning because of this. This happened repeatedly and it was obvious that she just wasn’t activating the bed from the computer in the first place. I’ve never met this girl in my life and for her to act like this to me is uncalled for. My boyfriend would go inside to sit down sometimes so he witnessed everything as well. Besides this I never had any problems with the rest of the girls! But if I went and the manager wasn’t there I never saw the same girl more than twice (as if they quit) the last time it happened I didn’t even tan I went out to the lobby and told the manager kaylee I wanted to cancel my membership and she seemed all happy and was like ok and I signed a paper and left. She did not talk to me about the «it pays to stay» program either. I then called corporate to tell them about my experience with her and they were all like we are sorry we don’t want someone like that working for us. But I had a half a month left that I payed for that I did not get refunded for so it was as if corporate didn’t care that much. Just wanting to warn people about this location and that manager if she’s still there. As I see someone else also wrote a review about her. Tanning should be enjoyable and relaxing. Not a pain in the butt and drama filled.

I had a Groupon for two versaspa treatments and the first time the girl was extremely helpful showing me how everything worked. When I went back I was greeted instantly, she pulled up my info and sent me back immediately no wait. I was in and out in five minutes with no problems. I would definitely consider getting a membership in the winter time.

Sad to see all the bad reviews. I’ve had a great experience when I had a 2 year membership here from 2008 – 2010.
I’ve never tanned in a tanning bed to this day. So my membership consisted of spray tanning only. Back then it was about $ 40 a month for unlimited spray tans… now it should be at least $ 50. About the time that I cancelled, the staff informed me about the price change. If I were to rejoin, I would have to pay the new price.
The first time I sprayed tan the color was unevenly distributed between my legs. There was a weird white streak but it was unnoticeable even with a dress on! I got a few comments saying I looked orange the first day as well. But the color gets more natural with use and within a couple days. I wouldn’t recommend spray tanning the night before an event… try for 2 days before and the color will be just right.
The girls were always friendly and knew I was a regular. I never had to wait too long to go in either. One time I left a expensive diamond ring by accident in one of the rooms. I called the staff to see if they could help me. I didn’t think I would retrieve it but within a few days the manager called and said someone had found it! I am still very grateful to this day.
I see they offer groupons from time to time. Try them out!

I initially got my membership because I liked the idea that is was month-​to-​month and that there was no contract. It seemed like a clean place and that the equipment was new and well maintained. However, the downside is that it is extremely hard to cancel your membership. If you are unable to come into their store you have to go to their corporate headquarters. I sent several letters to the store with each of them getting returned. No one at the store helped me or gave me any direction on how I can cancel my membership, 6 months later and I hopefully will be able to cancel it. All I found was an email to their customer service center to try to cancel my membership since I am unable to come into the store…
Think twice before committing to a month-​to-​month contract here, because its hard to get out of it and the payments are automatically taken out of your account.

I understand business have to push sales to make numbers, but shouldnt 5 «No’s» be enough?
I used to be in the tanning bed at least 3 times a week, and I got myself signed up for the packages that saved me ohhh so much money– but once I decided my money was better elsewhere and decided to cancel the membership, and was just going to pay as I came in– the service went from being 4 star to 1 star. Not only was the lady at the desk full of unnessicary attitude but when it came to getting me into a tanning bed, i was the least of her worries.
It’s sad because I prefer going somewhere where I know the results, but I would choose a salon in ghetto over going back and dealing with that again.
