You get what you pay for: a great tan

I bought a package of tanning sessions before my wedding, and it was fantastic! I realized this fact even more when I moved to a different state, and tried out a couple of different tanning salons. The quality of tan that I got wasn't even close to Solarium. When I moved back to Atlanta, Solarium was one of my first stops. I bought another package, and enjoy that I can use my sessions sparingly and still keep great color. I've never been a regular visitor to tanning salons, and am VERY frugal with my money, but Solarium is one of the few places that I will spend the big bucks. It's totally worth it, although the prices don't allow me to go as often as I'd like to.

The beds and bathroom are always clean and tidy, and the staff is friendly and seems knowledgeable (even if only superficially). Every now and then they'll have special discount weekends, which is when I usually try to buy product or packages.

The only problem I've ever had was in regards to a product that I bought. I was advised by a staff member to purchase a certain item based on the tanning goals that I described to him, and the results were not at all what I asked for. When I tried to exchange it for a different product, I was told that they couldn't return anything. The best offer I got was a small discount on the item that I did want to purchase, but the other stuff just went to waste. On the plus side, the manager did let me borrow her face product once, which was very nice of her. Of course, they sell the product there, so it was a good idea to make the sale, but nevertheless it was thoughful of her to offer.

• Pros: High quality tanning, knowledgeable and friendly staff
• Cons: Expensive prices
