Solar Dimensions

This company epitomizes everything bad you hear about a corporate salon chain. The prices are very high (although for the location that is to be expected) and the employees’ only concern is to get as much money out of you as possible. As they do this, they treat you with condescending, elitist attitudes. They TELL you what you’re going to do, you don’t get to tell them what you want to do unless you’re extremely forceful. And their «discounts» come with about 10 catches… Just a heads up — if you don’t go into the store more than 3 days before the billing date, they’ll keep charging you. And if you ask to speak with the manager, they laugh and say no. I will NEVER go here again (even though I have to pay them for another month I won’t use). Learned my lesson and should have listened to a lot of the other reviews on here!

Always a great experience. This location is clean, the staffed friendly and accommodating, and it’s convenient for me to get to! I give it 5 stars because I have no complaints.

Whatever you do do not go in the silver standup bed here. When the Tan was over the lights completely turned off and if you have ever been in a standup bed you know that it is totally enclosed from top to bottom. When the lights turned off it was pitch black and it was not a door that you could simply push open but I had a tiny handle. I could not see the handle whatsoever and the ventilation stopped. With it being so hot in the tanning bed I could hardly breathe. It was very strange when I told the woman upfront about it she had a smile on her face. Totally weird.

I love the staff at this location! Beds are awesome & love the spa services they offer.
VacuStep is an amazing workout!
Body wraps are super awesome!
They offer so many services I love!

clean and efficient! I have been doing spray tans there for years, they have great staff and I never have to wait too long… I wish it was a little cheaper but, its really really top notch!

This place is absolutely amazing! I was referred by a friend, and a month before my wedding, I went in and got the full tour. Yes, it is a bit a pricey, but, for me, I want a quick base and continued tanning with a lot of options and I am idling to shell out a little extra. I signed up for the top package for a short term contract. They have a lot of options, so it really is flexible with what you want to spend. They have several options that range from their sun angel, which has a skin sensor so you never burn, to a more intense «evil sister» called the Prestige (which is what I use) all the way a regular bed that is still a bit more powerful than regular beds.
Debra signed me up, and she is amazing. She is so well informed, and so are the other employees. Unlike other places, I feel like I am going to a spa when I go here. I am always greeted by a smile and they know my name. They also have a fingerprint machine before you tan, so you know that no one else is scamming on your membership.
I think the thing I like the most is that when I am waiting for my partner to finish tanning, they talk to me about interesting things. I have started with the body wraps, and they are pretty awesome. I am also addicted to the beauty angel, which is a red light therapy booth. It helps with renewing the skin, getting rid of stretch marks and scars. Five times into that thing, with the vibration option, and I sweat a lot of my skin problems have disappeared and smoothed out.
I absolutely suggest it.

I’m not trying to hate on this place.
I like all staff members and the cleanliness is top notch. I do feel like its crazy expensive.
However I’m also aware that it’s pricier than typical tanning spots and the new tax applied to salons makes it more expensive. I had a membership and had issues with being charged twice and then I had to jump through all these hoops with emails and corporate office that amounted to nothing.
I froze me and my bfs membership and I pay $ 5 a month to tan for a discount. I honestly don’t know why I continue to pay it, as I don’t ever go. I am unbelievably pale and everyone looks better with a little color but hey, I don’t know what I’ll do yet.
I should go at least once every two weeks, but that is ALL my fault. I feel like every time I come in I owe $ 86 something or another. Oh well.
**sigh**
Still a solid spray tan place with the BEST of the BEST in beds. Top of the line everything! && I’m addicted to the Verve they sell. It’s Derishious

I recently came here with a Groupon for a spray tan. I liked the facility as it was clean and the staff was friendly. The reason I am giving them 4 star is because 1. The price is higher then most places and 2. Because if the high pressure sales to get you into a package. Also they did call me to welcome me, so that was great too!

I had the airbrush tan done by hand. When I first arrived they tried to sell me over $ 100 worth of body wash, lotion, correction spray and exfoliator to remove stuck on tanner as my tan wore off. I chose not to make this exorbitant purchase. Mary Catherine was great and made an awkward situation completely comfortable and relaxed. The tan looked amazing, instantly. I followed all the rules, didn’t sweat or shower for twelve hours. I also bought the sunless tanner sustain body wash. However the next day on my vacation all hell broke loose, the tanner was on everything but me; including the bed sheets, towels, clothing, even my boyfriend. I will definitely not be returning.

I started coming to this tanning salon a few months ago to get some color before my wedding. I purchased a monthly tanning bed package where I was able to get use of any tanning bed and unlimited spray tans. I only used the sun angel bed and the prestige bed. I really liked both these tanning beds. I burn easily and so the sun angel was interesting to me because it is made to give you a good tan without burning you! I got a little red with it, but definitely didn’t burn.
Sometime the salon would be busy, but I rarely have had to wait for a bed. The employees are really nice.
I also tried the body wrap once. I don’t know how well it really worked, but it was intense. I felt like I had just came from a really big workout session when I was done.
I have gotten a versa spray tan twice and it was good. The first time I did the level one, and I liked it. The second time I tried level three with bronzer. I liked that session the best out of the two.
Caitlin (not sure how she spells it!) is super friendly, she is always pleasant to chat with!
Even though I started coming here to get ready for my wedding, I’ve been continuing to come here to tan even though the wedding was almost two months ago!

I made the move from Palm Beach Tan to Solar Dimensions a couple years ago. There was nothing wrong with Palm Beach, I simply moved to an area where there was no store conveniently located. I started out going to Solar’s Chamblee-​Dunwoody Rd location (which was located close to my office at the time), but quickly gravitated to the larger and more centrally-​located Brookhaven storefront. I am a big fan.
The location is convenient because my gym is just down the street in Town Brookhaven. The hours are pretty flexible, though I would love it if they were even further extended into the evening. The place is staffed with the usual attractive, college-​age girls you find in most of these places. At Palm Beach I found the girls to be mostly tanorexic, vapid things who didn’t have much to offer in the way of communication. Solar Dimension’s ladies are pleasant and helpful… they are quick to mention any special deals going on and to give you in-​depth info on any products that might be of interest.
I only do spray tans and have never committed to a monthly membership. I simply buy a package of tans, here and there, when they have «Insane 24-​Hr Deals.» If you do the same, I suggest that you invest in the canned spray tan that they sell as a compliment to the spray booths. It costs about $ 48 and comes in a large red bottle. It’s not idiot-​proof, but you can use it to touch-​up and extend your spray tan for days after it normally would’ve worn off. It lasts quite a long time and is worth the seemingly high price.
Another tip: I would upgrade to the Medium color tan, even if you are pasty-​white like myself. In my opinion, it doesn’t make you look that much darker, but it seems to last about two days longer than the Light version. I usually go for the Clear option because I tan last thing at night, but if you are going to hit the town after you tan, be sure to get the Bronzer option instead. (Just beware that it will *temporarily* stain your light colored clothing/​bedding.)
The best thing about the Brookhaven location is that it is large and always clean. I have rarely ever had to wait to use the Versa Spa and I have never had an issue with any aspect of their service. If you’re looking for a quality spray tan, I highly recommend them.

hey
I love this location of solar dimensions.
It’s always fast and clean and the staff is always nice and friendly.
I have a membership for spray tan, usually around $ 50 a month and you can spray as many times as you need. It’s the safest and fast way to look pretty and healthy.

I think this tanning spot is one of the best I’ve been too. It’s clean and trendy looking and has anything you could need. Plus they have other locations around town that you could visit if needed too. I’ve had spray tans here in the automated machines and they have turned out well — and I’ve had tanning bed memberships here as well. The beds are all new and clean. They do have some super nice beds that are obviously more expensive but have great fans, music, etc. that make tanning that much more enjoyable. The staff are very nice and eager to share advice/​opinions on packages, services, timing, etc. When you purchase a tanning bed membership they give you a stack of coupons to use for other services as well which was really nice.

The reason I came here is because of a Groupon deal that I got talked to into buying a few more for a «Formostar Infrared Body Wrap.» The first few times, the staff was great!!! After a few times, they «forgot» about me, let me burn up, with no fan to turn on or take the wraps off of me. So for newbies, they are awesome but if you have come a few times then they will make sure to give you best service. I gave it 3 out of 5 stars for that reason cause it wasn’t always bad going there, just not consistent, yes, a few times was with the same person. I was glad when I finally used up all my sessions.

It takes a lot for me to take the time to write a bad review as I feel the place has likely already wasted enough negative energy, but I’ve gone to this salon at least 5 or 6 times and its the same experience each visit. Rude staff and long wait times.
I’m giving it 2 stars instead of 1 b/​c the beds and overall space is clean, so there’s that going for this location…

I came here because of a Groupon for a «Formostar Infrared Body Wrap».
The people here are nice and down to earth. The funny thing is, one of them ended up being in the same class in college with me. The place is clean and trendy. I like the idea that I could relax and watch a movie (a nice selection of movies) while being «wrapped up». They come to check up on you every 20 minutes to make sure you are doing okay. They provide you with a water bottle with a straw which I thought was nice.
The only thing I don’t like about this location is the parking lot. It’s small and packed at times.

Last summer before I went on a cruise I decided that I’d get a tan so I could look good in my bright red spandex speedos for the ladies.
I searched around for a tanning place near home and Solar Dimensions Brookhaven was the closest, so I choose this location for my bronzing needs. I ended purchasing 3 spray tans and 3 Sun Angel visits.
I was very pleased with the Sun Angel tanning bed as it gives you a spa treatment while it tans you.
However I was not too pleased with the spray tan as it came out rather orange making me look like a umpa lumpa, but that was fixed by the next 2 visits as I selected a darker color. I looked great! But that only lasted about 3 days into my cruise before wearing off, not to mention they charged me a $ 10 upcharge for the darker color.
Overall, I’m glad I did the tanning before my cruise; but it also taught me that I am not a tanning bed or spray tan kinda person. I’ll just naturally turn red next cruise.

I love this tanning location of SD. I’ve been to a few others and the girls that work at this particular location are the best. They are always very friendly, knowledgable and call me by my name when I walk in. They have some of the best tanning beds and you can even hook up your iPod to hear your music as you tan. Mary Catherine is the best.
