| - Tanmax is great for the budget tanner. If you are low on cash and need some UV rays, this is the place. They have super low rates and always have space available. No waiting and zero upsale harrassment. They have only standups. I've used tanning salons in the pre-summer time for probably 15 years, and this is the only place I have left everytime smelling like burnt hair. I'm not sure if it's because they use cheaply intense bulbs, but I experienced this continuously (and I am not a hairy person LOL - I do have fine baby hairs - but granted, I have never experienced this at any other salon).
The stalls are ok - not filthy and not amazingly clean either, the floors and mirrors could use a nice cleaning...stalls are just a super tight space that is dark and have a very small face mirror only. Hook on door to hang items, which is helpful considering the tiny space. There is a small stool in the stall as well.
The first few times I used these standups I thought I was going to burn my skin off so I vacated before the max amount of time. I left feeling fearful of the intense heat (again, I am experienced, so this was bizarre) - only to not get any result. Intensely scary heat and zero color result. Huh. After a few tries I started to get some color, but the tanning is uneven. It seems the parts of my body that stick out closer to the bulbs (my calfs and thighs) got the most tan. Again...hmmm. I weigh 105lbs so this was odd.
Staff is quick to get you in and out, which is cool, except their speediness sides on an almost rude aspect. The owner (maybe shes just a manager) is the worst with her valley girl talk, ignoring customers and talking crap about people in front of customers. Interesting experience for sure, but I won't be back.
