Hollywood Tans

I really like the girls who work here; Brittany, Alley and Jayda have always been incredibly nice and helpful. I keep coming back because of the customer service and the warm welcome I get from each of these girls when I walk in the door.
I was incredibly white when I came in and I burn easily; they’ve been «coaching» me through which booths to use for maximum results without burning.

I went here for the cryotherapy treatment and everybody was great. Mary and Scott who are the owners took great care of me as well as Rebecca and Ivana.

I’ve been using this location for almost three years. It convenient and clean with ample parking and a friendly staff. The best part is your membership is valid at other locations as well.

I’ve been using mystic for a few years now and haven’t run into too many problems. However in the last few months I had a few instances where my tan simply wasn’t developing. It often happened when I was going on a trip out of town, rendering it impossible to come into the store to show the staff my issue.
Anyways, it happened at both Hollywood Tan locations I go to, Pt Loma and Mission Valley so I couldn’t figure out what was causing it.
I finally went in to the Mission Valley location a few weeks back and explained to two of the girls working my situation, Kat from Pt Loma, being one of them.
She was so friendly and helpful and understanding (as was the other girl) to my situation, trying to help me find a solution.
We tried a different booster which seemed to help. I think it’s actually a matter of how warm the booth and dryers are.
Kat gave me a complimentary tan and booster, and while it did help, I think I figured out the problem was caused by other factors.
Anyways, thank you Kat, for working with me and providing excellent customer service. Sorry I didn’t write his sooner :)

This place is awesome! Everyone is so nice and welcoming. It was my first time at this location and they were very informative and made sure to answer all my questions. The booths are clean and all are stand up booths = most sanitary and no strange tan lines! The one thing that they could improve upon was asking about any skin conditions, lotions, or medications used by the patron. I am aware of these risks and contraindications from my career field, however, most people may not. Aside from that, the staff is awesome, the place is clean, and I am definitely a fan of this place:)

Clean place with good equipment, and the staff is friendly! Especially Jamie she’s awesome!

I have been coming to this location as well as the Mission Valley location for the past three months. I do prefer MV, but this salon is closer to me. I come in about 3 – 4 times a week and I am always greeted with a smile. These girls are great. I am a lover of the Red Light Therapy. I use it before a tanning booth and it really intensifies my tan! Sometimes I even come in just to use the Red Light because it makes my complexion more radiant.
Over the past few weeks I noticed how popular the Mystic Tan booths have been at both locations. So I talked to Jamie about it, asking her what the big deal was. She gave me the full run down and recommended me to try it for myself. So… I did:)!
Jamie recommended that I come in with no lotions or make up on and suggested wearing loose fitting clothing. I was so thankful for these tips since I hadn’t gotten a spray tan in YEARS lol! I also did a full body sugar scrub the night before (just a homemade one) and shaved my legs the morning of my spray tan. I am fair skinned, so she said to definitely go with the lightest shade. I also added Vanilla scent which I really liked so you don’t have a chemically lotion smell. Jamie explained to wear a hair net, but to make sure its not covering my forehead so I don’t have a weird tan line there– how weird would that be? haha. She also said to cover my hands and feet with the lotion they provide so you don’t have weird marks.
The spray was so quick! I felt sticky right after, but she said that it was normal and to not shower for a couple hours and just go home and relax.
I went home and after 4 hours, I washed my face because I didn’t want my face to be too dark. I woke up in the morning with a beautiful brown tan! It was even and no streaks or blotches. It was weird to see my body all one color with no tan lines! And so tan– NOT orange! I loved it, it looked so natural even on my fair complexion!
Two days after my spray tan, I had an event in Las Vegas for a Dental Convention. Three people commented on how nice and tan I was (I didn’t admit it was a spray lol!). It made my teeth look whiter also, which is very important for the shows.
I would totally do it again! It has been 5 days now and my skin is still tan! If its your first spray tan, I encourage you to ask questions and not to be shy. The staff here is awesome and they will take great care of you.

DO NOT TAN HERE!!! The girls who work the front desk are sweet but how management runs this business and treats their customers is horrendous. I cancelled my membership on 07÷17÷15 because I could not afford it anymore. I then got charged for the month of August. When I FIRST came in, the girl mentioned they were under new ownership/​management and the mistake could’ve happened because of it. I’m an understanding person, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I have now been into the salon three times, I have called four times wishing to speak to management, and to top it all off I JUST GOT CHARGED AGAIN!!! The girl assured me this new change of ownership was a good thing for them (since they had problems like this before) and their new manager would get back to me by the next day; that was weeks ago. The manager wouldn’t even directly talk to me this morning when I insisted. I was told she’ll call me back later today. Yeah right! Canceling my membership was only temporary but now when I do decide to start tanning again I will NOT come back to Hollywood tans. Be careful

Staff is super friendly!!! And you can’t beat the price! Roughly $ 20 for a month of unlimited tanning! And the beds are good. I can go weeks without tanning and will notice a difference after one session!

The staff is super friendly. I love how affordable the pricing is for a membership. Only a $ 10 sign up fee and no cancelation charge, that’s awesome. Even if you just want to tan for a month it won’t break the bank. Highly recommend.

Midway location is very clean and very friend. Ally has been amazing since she was at the PB location. Will be coming back soon.

Love this place. The girls make an effort to learn your name and make you feel welcome and a valued customer.
Very seldom have to wait for a room which with a busy schedule is key. Very happy with the service.

The manager, I believe Her name is Jamie, is very nice and helpful! She helped me switch my membership when I was having a hard time getting what I wanted done at mission valley location due to their never being a manager their. I started tanning in February and wanted to switch my membership, which she happily did. Great customer service and very clean location! This will be my new go-​to Hollywood tans :)

I got a spray tan here before attending Stagecoach was so happy with the service. They offer constant deals through their text club and I was able to get a perfect tan for only $ 10. I was a little nervous about doing level 3 but the employee assured me that I had a nice base tan and wouldn’t look orange. She was right, I did the level 3 and received great natural looking color. Overall I chose Hollywood tans because they offer great deals and provide great results! I definitely will be going back.

Kelsey is awesome she’s knowledgeable, and fun! So thankful to have someone in a tanning salon that knows what’s going on and is friendly!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
MY TANNING BED CAUGHT FIRE !
I turned the bed on and all of a sudden I smelt an awful smell along with these weird crackling noises. I turn around and the bulb was ON FIRE!!! I ran out butt naked and the girls at the front were so «confused» grabbed a water bottle like it was no big deal to put out the flames… The lady then proceeds to explain to me that it’s not her fault because she isn’t a technician, but she noticed that the «bulb wasn’t pushed in all the way»…
I then asked for my money back because I obviously will never go into a tanning bed again! She tries to tell me that she was going to prorate my refund. At this point I think she was still confused on the fact that I could have caught fire for Christ sake!
Anyways this place is terrible and clearly they don’t take proper precautions.
Take my advice and don’t ever go here, you may catch fire.

This Hollywood Tans location always has deals going on and their customer service is on point! There is always good music playing so you’re never bored. All of the booth options are «stand-​up» only, with different UV powers or Mystic spray. Therefor, you won’t have any embarrassing tan lines like you would get from a «laying» tanning bed.
I would recommend Hollywood Tans to any girl or guy in need of some color!

I would give this place zero stars if given the options. This place is a shady place of business. You want more bang for you buck, go to iTan. It’s less than a block away and offers more services FOR THE SAME PRICE! I also highly recommend checking your bank statements when you cancel your membership. I had cancelled my membership back in January, yet they still charged me. I had to report fraud and get a new card.
The f’ed up part was I canceled my membership through the owner. I told her I didn’t want to be affiliated with a tanning shop who has a problem holding on to tanning lotions. I specifically told her, «If you can’t hang on to my bottles, which other businesses have no problem doing, then why should you hold my card info?» And just as I suspected, they had no accountability. They owner, on top of being a fraud, was very irresponsible on getting back to me. So I reported her and her business for fraudulent activity. Fortunately, my my bank got me my money back. I won’t be surprised when this place finally shuts down. It not even that clean. They provided no trash cans in the booths and if you look at the bottom of the stand up tanning booths, you will see a gobs of hair and lint. My dryer is has less lint than these booths.
If you could take one thing from this review, check your bank statements when you do cancel. This shady business will try to take you to the cleaners for such crap services.

Great service, the girl at the desk was extremely helpful and not pushy at all, clean facilities, will definitely be back!

I’ve been to a few tanning places over the years but this one is by far my favorite. Everyone is always friendly and helpful, I’ve never experienced any issues with the beds or the staff and I like the stand up idea so you’re able to move a bit and not laying in the same place thousands have before you which always made me feel like I’m stuck in a cheap motel.
If you don’t like stand up beds — this isn’t the place for you, but it isn’t a reason to give them a low rating as their website (and their location) are very up front about booth style.
If you want a certified skin care expert, don’t look to girls working at a tanning salon — lotions are mostly sold by personal preference and all skin types are different. They sell trial sizes so you can see which one you like before buying. They have several tanning options that you can bounce around in to get the optimal tan for your skin and preferences.
I’ve never been there when they were out of towels and I’ve seen them clean every booth as soon as the client steps out. I always put a towel down to stand on while tanning as a preference but I recommend that if you’re skeptical, they do have them readily available or I’m sure you could bring your own.
