I gave Energy Tanning another shot. I was greeted by a cheerful employee immediately. She really was very nice and made many good recommendations, from lotions to my desired level of darkness and the appropriate bed for my needs.
I actually got to tan this time! I was quite impressed by the selection of beds during the Grand Tour. There are many different beds of various levels, to accommodate nearly any budget. For Level 5 alone there were three different beds to choose from. THAT is variety!
I still didn't want to get set up with a membership, and this time around the associate did not pressure me into signing up. THANK YOU. The bed was intense! It was equipped with shoulder lamps, climate control, and lamp intensity choices.
It's pricey, but now that I see the selection of beds and the results from the Level 5 bed, I see why. It's tanning at its best.
