One employee told me that they believe their business is the ""Nordstrom of tanning."" More like used car lot. After you sign up, you cannot simply enter the facility and go tanning with direct, high pressure sales tactics by rude employees. EVERY SINGLE TIME. The last time i went in there, they tried to sell me lotions and upgrades that I have turned down every time. I politely said no, thank you, and they wouldn't take no for an answer. The employee kept pushing, even ROLLING HIS EYES at me and insulting my intelligence in front of other customers, saying that I didn't know how to tan if I didn't want to buy all these products.\r

And BEWARE of their initial signup packages. If you want a basic tanning package and have no intention of using high pressure beds, they have two options. If you plan to purchase a lotion they will pressure you into buying the higher priced of the two options, saying that they will give you a break on the lotion. However, if you buy the lower priced option and just buy the full-priced lotion, you still pay 10 dollars less!!! I pointed out to the employee and asked her why I would spend 10 more dollars for the exact same thing. She had no reason and just kept saying, ""I think it's the better option"". I was like, how is it better for me to give you 10 more dollars for the same thing? She had no answer. \r

Tanning should be a relaxing experience, not one where you feel like you have a battle to even get to your room because of the employees. My advice is to not go there. Had I known I never would have. I've tanned at 3 other places in the portland metro and this is by far the worst because they are so nasty in there.
