Beach Bum Tanning Bayside

This place is very clean! Loved the service and help from the front receptionist jasmine! She was really sweet and helpful. She explained the packages/​lotions in great detail. Super cute girl! She air brushed a friend of mine and she loved it! I have to come back again and sign up!

This place is a joke!!! No parking. Management doesn’t care about customer service! Packages are a scam! The spray tan will leave SPOTS ALL OVER YOUR BODY! Stay far away from here!!!

If I could give this place no stars I would. I just walked in to tan at 11:30 and waited for about four minutes because there was no one in the front and the place reeked like bud. they are advertised open until 12am. The rude child/​kid who was working came out of the back and told me I can’t tan after 11:30 and it’s their policy. It was 11:32. They should advertise only open until 11:30 then. What horrible customer service… A spray tan takes like 5 minutes. This is the worst place ever I will never come here again for anything and I will tell everyone I know not to. Tanning is dying out anyway so way to treat your customers like crap. Never again… I hope you go out of business.

The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The beds were a lot more comfortable than other places I’ve been too. I definitely felt ready to go on vacation after my sessions.

I came to get an airbrush spray tan because of a special promotion they had going on. I was pleasantly surprised. I have never gotten a spray tan before and my experience was great. The technician was super friendly and made me feel really comfortable. The color was even and looked natural. I came out of the session looking like I had gone away for a weekend and had a nice tan. The procedure was throughly explained as well as how to maintain the tan after I left. I would definitely come back for this service again!

This is a clean place and there is never a wait. Staff is very friendly and bulbs are strong.

The beds here are really good, and they usually have some specials going on so that’s awesome. It’s really clean, and the staff is really nice and super helpful, especially Samantha. So happy it’s right down the block from me :)

strong bulbs & clean beds… just wish they had a lower-​level package option.

Samantha and Justin always greet you with a smile. They always remember your name and what bed you usually want. They are helpful with questions and suggestions on how to get the tan you want. The place is always clean and the music on. Couldn’t ask for better.

I’m new to the area and was feeling kinda pale… I walk past beach bum every morning and wanted to come by. I saw some reviews about the staff and was slightly intimidated to go in. But I finally did and I had a great experience! The girl at the counter was super sweet and helpful. She helped me figure out what was best for me. And not once did she try to pressure me into buying/​paying for something I did not ask for. She walked me to the room and showed me everything I needed to know. Overall a great experience!

I love Bayside Beach Bum. not only is it convienant but very accomidating. The staff is always nice and willing to squeeze me in for airbrush :) espexially dominique and brooke. brooke is the best at airbrush i always leave happy! def my fave beach bum inthe area beachbum bayside

Went tanning today Brooke and the manager Dominique were there great service as usual bed freshly cleaned. AC and good music pumping loved the vibe and even the coconut water I purchased. Also happy with my tan use the S class room 6 best bed !! I defiantly would go back tomorrow and I will even send my co workers from valley stream to this location

Obsessed with this place! Been to other Beach Bum locations and this is BY FAR the best. Phenomenal staff, convenient location, and amazing airbrush! Brooke, the airbrush expect, is always professional and does a fantastic job! I would recommend this Beach Bum to anyone– the best in the Long Island/​Queens area!!!

You cannot find worse customer service in any other business establishment so enjoy this rare gem. They will be completely out of business in few years with a such incompetent operation. There are really better ways to spend your money…

I hadn’t been here in years but they recently had a groupon deal that brought me back. I walked in on a Saturday morning and the girl at the front desk, Dominique was friendly, professional and helpful. She put me in the Diamond bed and Brooke kindly walked me to the room and explained there would be 8 minutes to undress and get lotioned. She showed me which button to hit start the bed, which to turn the fans on. The room was a bit tight and I didn’t have a lot of space to throw my coat, sweater, dress, handbag, etc. however, I found the entire experience to be quite seamless and enjoyable.

When this place first opened it was pretty cool, run well, very efficient but as the years wen’t by it just seemed like they started caring less about actually running a business and more about hanging out while they are supposed to be working.
There is still one girl there that’s really nice and helpful but most of the staff is busy on their phones, reading magazines, socializing with friends that come in, etc.
They barely acknowledge your presence. They aren’t very helpful when you ask questions either. They just try to force the highest priced packages down your throat. The prices have gone up significantly in the past few years. I don’t come here very often and they frequently delete clients from their database so sometimes when I return I have to go through the whole hassle of giving them all my info all over again which is annoying.
I always bring my own lotion, there was this one guy who would always ask to see my lotion and then tell me how my lotion wasn’t good for my skin likely because he was making up just to get me to buy one of theirs. If there’s no commision to be made the employees really just can’t be bothered with you.

The front desk people are always very nice, I usually don’t have to wait. The beds seem pretty clean to me, but I stopped doing lay down, because I just don’t think it’s clean enough… I might just be a germaphobe but oh well. I like the stand up and it gives me a great tan!

This salon is one of the cleanest ones I’ve been too! I travel all the way from Brooklyn just to come to this salon. The beds give me great color and I love doing the mystic and airbrush tan for special events. The staff is great and is always willing to help you with any concerns! I really enjoy seeing their happy faces every time I visit! This beach bum is a must!!!

I have been going here for years. I happen to go 15 min before closing and I was willing to drop $ 250 on a package. Now I usually come late and who ever is working let’s you in because they do close at 12 .1145 I was not let in for a 8 min tan. Now I know workers want to get home after work. But rejecting customers. 15 min before what your store ours say is bad biz. Well that’s what happens when high school kids run a business. So I’ll spend my 250 elsewhere. Plus they donot clean the beds well the head piece is always nasty.

I’ve have been coming to this salon for the past 3 years on and off again and I haven’t had a terrible experience until yesterday.
Given the summer season is on the way, I went with my sister to start up tanning again. It has been a while so we asked the associate’s recommendations. She told us that we should be fine in the booth for 7 minutes, and and told us a tanning lotion for EXPERIENCED tanners would be our best option.
Mind you, both my sister and I are the lightest two shades on the makeup counter and she is on medication.
I am terribly BURNT now, and angry that these people didn’t get enough training to cater to all skin types. Tanning is no joking matter and for me to get burnt was so insulting.
I have been tanning for 8 years now and this has never happened!
