L A Tan

I just wanted to take a quick minute to write about how wonderful my tanning salon is. I tan almost every afternoon and the girl who works there has learned my name and has me set and ready to go in my room by the time I walk into the door. You could not ask for better customer service. For the quality and price you pay for this salon I could honestly say that LA TAN is under charging there customers. Like I have told the girl who works there you could walk from the back of the salon to the front and not a spec of dirt would be stuck to the bottom of your foot. Before I tanned at LA I tanned at planet beach I thought that salon was top notch until I found LA TAN. Pros: Price and Employee's more

There are two major downfalls of tanning salons in my opinion: 1) Bad staff members 2) confusing pricing. I started looking for somewhere to tan in Chapel Hill with prices in mind, expecting it to be a little pricier than the places in Raleigh. I went to LA Tan first to see what kind of options they had. The girl working there was very helpful, she went over all of the options with me, twice, let me use her calculator and even wrote down for me what she had said so could take it home. She made very good first impression. I was pretty sure I wanted to buy a package there, I just needed to get the prices from one other place first. So the next day I went back to LA Tan after deciding that they had the best deal running, buy $25 tanning bucks and get your first week free (I'm sure, she wrote it down for me). Unfortunately, a different woman was working. I was told that there was no such offer and I would have to spend $55 to get an extra $25 credited to my account, which was not the same thing as the offer I had been told the day before. To get a free first week I would need to buy $20 in products (this was an option given to me the day before) but I would need to bring a coupon. The coupons were sitting right there on the counter in a stack, did she really need me to hand it to her? She seemed to be avoiding admitting that someone had made a mistake or their specials had changed (either of these explanations would have been more acceptable than pretending not to know what I'm talking about). It came across as rather rude. In short, they almost had a new customer, but either their pricing can literally change overnight (HA) or their staff doesn't know what going on. I can't tell you more about the place because I never got past their front desk. Also, they take your finger prints as a new member. I know this is getting more common, but be real. Its tanning, not the FBI. Invasion of privacy, people. Pros: You might get lucky and find a helpful employee. Cons: You might not get lucky. more

I switched over to LA tan recently and have really enjoyed it. The people that work there are very friendly, its is very clean, I never have to wait to tan, there are many beds. Also there is a wide variety of types of beds including different levels and stand up beds. There are spray tan options and there are always pretty good deals and packages every month. more

LA Tan is a great place for tanning in the town of Chapel Hill. There are so many tanning salons to choose from but I assure you this one is the best. Their packages are very affordable and cheap compared to the other top notch tanning salons. The people who work there along with the owner are very friendly and it is always extremely clean. It is very trendy and decorated beautifully. They have a variety of beds to choose from that make it easy to find the one that best fits you. I would recommend LA Tan to anyone, so go tan there! more

I recently switched to LA Tan. They have very affordable memberships. The receptionist was professional and very helpful in explaining my tanning options. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the facility and I'm so glad I switched! Cons: parking more

LA Tan is one of the nicest tanning places I've been too, especially around the Chapel Hill area. The people that work there are very friendly and helpful. It's a good price too, a lot cheaper than the tanning bed i go to in Charlotte! The wait usually isn't bad, I definitely recommend it! more

LA tan is amazing. If you want to get a great tan for a great price then LA is definitely the best place for you. They have a lot of beds and they get you in and out really quick. They have the best prices in chapel hill... BY FAR. (trust me I would know... i have tanned at a lot of different salons)They offer a lot of different tanning packages so you can get exactly what you want, and they are all extremely affordable. There prices aren't the only things that are amazing; there staff is AMAZING as well. In addition to be both friendly and approachable the girls are all very knowledgeable and willing to help you choice the right package and lotion so that you get the exact color that you want. LA tan is hands down the best tanning salon in the chapel hill Durham area. Whether you want to purchase a membership or just get a little glow for a special event I would strongly encourage you to chose LA tan. You won't be disappointed. Pros: friendly helpful staff, great factilities, very affordable Cons: NONE more

I love LA Tan!! It is the best place to tan in Chapel Hill by far in terms of price and customer service. I've been going to UNC for 3 years now and I've tried them all...this place is by far my favorite. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about different tanning lotions and beds. The level I beds are really nice and the upgraded ones are amazing (try the one in room 3) and not too expensive with a plan. The girls that work there are great and get you in to tan quickly!! If you are going to tan in Chapel Hill this is definitely the place to go. Pros: Customer service, variety of beds, price Cons: None. more

I've tanned here 3 times and every time I come in its the same employee she keeps "chatting" away to the person in front of me in line (if it's a male, she gets more chatting) The last time I went to tan she was on her cell phone. I asked her a question about the tanning dollar special they had, but she just confused me and I told her I didn't really understand how it works. I've contacted the manager and she replyed back, but I haven't seen a change in customer service!!! If your like me and you just want to go in and tan this is NOT the place for you! Awful customer service and unconcerned employee!!! Cons: CUSTOMER SERVICE more

I have been searching for a tanning bed for about 6 months now. I randomly came across La Tan driving by. I have tried several other local tanning places. I came to learn that LA TAN had the best quality beds for the best rates. Twenty Five dollars a month for unlimited level one stand up and lay down beds. Can't beat that. The staff is overly friendly and most helpful from any mystic tan needs to knowing everything about each bed and what lotion will work best for you. I have met the owner in person and have been very pleased with her up keep in the salon. So thank you!! I 100% suggest La Tan to everyone. I love walking through the door every morning and being greeted by my name. As for previous comments I really hope that you found a tanning bed nearly as nice as this one closer to your home. Pros: Atmosphere, rates, low prices, and customer service Cons: Can't seem to think of one. more

Terrible! I searched online for tanning places and came across the LA Tan Website and saw their coupons for new users. I printed them out and drove thirty minutes to the location. The coupon online says 5 Spray Tans for $55. When I got there the manager said she wasn't accepting the online coupons. The online coupons do not say anything about the stores not accepting them. She offered 4 for $44 and I had to buy a product. This is an experience I will let everyone I know in on and continue to blog about. I get they are their own store but they have a franchise and the website is directing new customers to their store. They should honor their coupons set by the corporation. They missed out on this new customer. Pros: Mints- People that is not a pro... Cons: Management more

This place is awful. I lost so many tanning dollars because the front desk people couldn't calculate. I got a tan in half the time at Sundance Tans, a smaller place with much better beds. You can put all the mints you want to around the salon but that dont mean you are gonna get my business back or anyone at UNC because I highly unrecommend you to all my fellow employees at UNC which happens to be a very large place. If your summer isn't going well, maybe you should hire someone who understands tanning dollars and invest in some beds that will actually give you a tan. Pros: Mints Cons: Expensive, Tanning dollars confusing to customer and staff more

LA Tan is by far the best tanning salon in the area. It is by far the cleanest salon, the prices are great, the service is phenomenal, and the hours are unbeatable. I would recommend this salon to anyone. more

I went to this tanning salon the other day and it was by far the most clean salon I have entered in a good while. Along with the over all cleanliness the employees were some of the most caring and friendly people I have dealt with. Keep up the good work!!! more

I love LA Tan! The customer service is fabulous. Very clean and great pricing. Total package is the best in the area! Pros: Yummy mints Cons: Wait sometimes can be lengthy more

I love LA Tan! I have tanned many different places and this has by far been my best experience. The prices are the best I've ever seen, the beds are extremely nice and the customer service is amazing. Sometimes there is a wait for a bed but the waiting area is extremely comfortable and the wait is never more than about 8 minutes. I would highly recommend LA Tan to anyone. They also have GREAT membership deals! more

I have been tanning at LA Tan for 3 months and I just recently bought another 3 month package. The people who work there are always friendly and well informed about thier products and services. There is an occasional wait for a standard lay down bed, but there is always the option to upgrade to a higher level bed for only a few extra dollars. They also offer discounts for members of the Peak Fitness gym located in the same area. I would definitely reccommend LA Tan to anyone. more

I have been going to LA Tan for a few months now. They have a great selection of tanning packages at a price everyone can really afford. I have tanned at some of the major tanning chains and I can say that LA Tan is the best! They are very friendly and informative. The place is always clean and I've never had to wait. I haven't run into any issues with parking. They have a huge selection of tanning products and have great holiday specials. I highly recommend this tanning salon! Pros: Great prices and lots of different bed levels to choose from! more

This place has 5 levels of beds, stand up and Laydown, plus bronzing beds. You can get memberships for as low as 19.99 a month unlimited! I used to spend so much money on tanning, for just a couple sessions. The staff are very helpful and friendly. They are super knowledgable about tanning! The salon is very clean, and I would recommend it to all my friends!!!! Pros: Great service, wide variety of beds, very clean more

Not only is the salon clean, neat and organized, but the staff is wonderful! They know everyone's name and always ask how I'm doing and how my day has been. The beds are by far the best in town. They have a wide variety of products you can buy or sample. I have been to several salons, and this place is easily the best. I live in Cary but come here to tan! That should tell you something! Pros: Great pricing, staff and cleanliness Cons: The parking lot can get full depending on what time of day you come. more
