I had a card for a free spray tan that i recieved at the denver rock 'n roll marathon. i am just an occasional spray tanner and thought i'd see how i liked it for future reference. i've spray tanned at darque tan on a groupon and they were nice and explained things very well and the ""tan"" turned out pretty well but i thought i'd try it here and if it looked better/was easier/nicer whatever then i'd have a new place to go. the young man working when i went in was nice enough initially and hit me pretty hard and fast on the whole ""sell"". he tried to get me to sign up for a membership immediately and once he realized that i was only interested in the one free spray things changed pretty quickly. he became quite brisk and borderline rude. next stop- lotions and excellerators. he was quite pushy. i told him i wasn't going to buy anything and he told me i wasn't going to be happy with my tan if i didn't. really? because i've been satisfied in the past and never used them. i am an esthetician and i'm familiar with how dha works so no need to try and confuse me with your generic speak about skin ph etc. there was no further pleasantries or instruction from that point on. at one point i even told him not to be mad! i was sent back on my own. it's a shame because i liked the machine itself and how even the color seemed to go on and how dry i felt afterwards. hopefully he didn't adjust the machine to some weird extra color or no color to get back at me! lol. poor guy actually got pouty. even if the tan looks good i won't go back due to the pushy nature and hard sell business model.
