I have been tanning for a very long time. I just moved to CT and I have been trying to find a good place to tan. This place is A JOKE. First I had to wait 20 minutes to even get checked in. Two people were working but one was totally inept. At one point the girl was going to check me in (who by the way was whiter then white...kinda hard to take tanning advice from) I said I hadn't been there before so she made me wait even longer for a ""tour"". Which ironically you could spin around and see the entire place from one spot. Right when I was going to have said tour another person walked in and I had to wait another 10 minutes for them to be checked in and chit chat.
Then on my 'tour"" I was told every detail of the melanin in my skin yadda yadda. This took another 15 mins as she stopped in between to talk about nonsense to other workers. One conversation being about how I do not tan my face because I don't want to look older. This turned into her telling me I am just using the wrong products and she thought it was appropriate to turn to all the other people there and ask them how old I looked to them. That was uncomfortable to say the least!! I was asked to show which tanning lotion I use...well according to her I wasn't ready for that lotion. Hmmm I have been using it forever. So then we go to the desk where I have to allow her to press her fingers on my chest to count how long it takes for the prints to go away. This was supposed to show how long I was to tan for and what lotion I should be using. This ensued to the two girls arguing how many counts it actually was and I had to let her do it again. Then I was told I was required to buy THEIR lotion. I was not ready for MY lotion and they have a PROCESS. Oh and to say something for professionalism...at one point the girl messed up on the computer system and proceeded to drop the f-bomb 5 times in front of me.
Ok so all in all I wasted 45 mins give or take to be treated like an unimportant idiot and be MADE to buy products I wanted nothing to do with. I just walked out. It was the most absurd tanning experience of my life. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
