| - I would not recommend Celebrity Tanning.
For what you pay you don't get very much. For 40 dollars you only get unlimited on the level 2 beds, for 50 level 3, and if you want unlimited on all levels, it costs 70 dollars a month. There are much cheaper places in the valley, with better beds and services, that let you tan on all levels for less price. IE I paid 50 a month at planet beach for all beds, mystic, and all spa machines. Their beds also are not very strong - I had the level 2 membership, and I did not see much color from it. Maybe if you're very fair skinned to begin with they will get you tan, but if you have a base or color already, you need to use the high level beds. Also many times the beds would have a lot of bulbs out, for days at a time before getting fixed. And only some of the beds have radio.
That said, I'm willing to pay more if I get good service. I was not impressed with the staff. It was your typical tan salon staff of young girls, but they were not very friendly or helpful. No hi as I walked in, bye as I left, nobody asked me how it was when I was done. They seemed bored and annoyed most of the time, and a majority of the time they were on the phone with friends or talking to friends in a salon and would just enter me in tell me the room number without breaking from whatever gossip they had going on. And this was at 3 different locations, not just one. A few times I had a friendly person, but more often than not, it was the other way.
Now for the billing... it IS overpriced for what you get, and those are only the prices with a 3 month commitment. When they say 3 month commitment, they mean 3 DRAWS - meaning you pay in person for the first month, then you have to have 3 more months come out of your account - so that's a four month commitment. I cancelled my account before moving, and still have to have the last draw come out for an entire month I wasn't there because nobody explained it to me. Well my fault, I should have read the fine print. But then I got charged the next month as well, when I had cancelled it far more than 30 days in advance. So that's 2 months I clearly wasn't there that I got charged. I called to get the last month refunded to me, and I have now spoken to people 3 times, they will not give the number for a manager or their corporate billing person, they just say they will email them and have them contact you back. Nobody will contact you back, and the girls on the phone will just try to tell you "I'm sorry, it's confusing."
Even if their billing wasn't sketchy, I wouldn't recommend it. Unfriendly staff, mediocre beds, overpriced. You can find better in the Valley, trust me.
