Suburban Beach Tan

I loved tanning here in my high school days, it’s changed owners a few times since then, but the quality hasn’t ever changed, always fabulous! The tanning packages are super affordable & they doesn’t have any start up fees unlike other places.
Lisa is totally the reason I return now. She brings a lot to the salon! Always smiling & has great suggestions on lotions. It’s nice to deal with someone who actually cares about her tanners, rather than shove them in a tanning bed & get them out quickly, like other tanning places I’ve been too.
Also, I love how clean the salon is! I’ve never had a second thought getting into any of the tanning beds!
Totally recommend this place.

Best tanning beds around! Clean comfortable and roomie! The staff is amazing there they really care about your tanning experience, they don’t want you to burn and be in pain but they know how long and what strength to use to maximize your color… their tanning lotion are great as well! If you are an experienced or novice tanner I would recommend going in and asking all the questions you ever had about they will answer and help you to a path of successful bronze. All services are at a really great price! Has to be best prices in the area for the services they provide

Ok I tried this place becuase they had a coupon and I was looking to get some color. I recognized the owner as someone who used to work at a different salon I had tanned at previously — and she’s such a sweet lady! However, there are quite a few reasons I won’t be returning: I wasn’t impressed with the beds, they weren’t anything special. The bathroom was kind of gross, which is usually a red flag– if the bathroom isn’t super clean and nice then I start to wonder about other things. I didn’t love that her dog was there — I’m not allergic, but it just seems weird to me. It also wasn’t convienient for me to go to regularly.

I’ve been meaning to review this place for a while.
I’ve actually been here twice for an airbrush spray tan. I had a great experience the first time around. The owner was super nice and she talked me through the whole thing, as it was my first time getting one. I was very pleased with the results, it looked natural and didn’t streak.
However, I scheduled a second spray tan a few months ago, and the owner just didn’t show up. My appointment time was for the time they opened. After waiting outside for about 10 minutes, the lady from the store next door mentioned that she’d call the owner. She reached her on her cell and was told that she was sick and wasn’t coming in.
I understand people get sick, but as a business owner, it is your responsibility to contact your clients if the schedule changes. The owner had my cell phone number and could have easily contacted me. I never even got a follow up call from anyone to apologize, which irked me even more.
I was very disappointed, as I my schedule is not easy. I had arranged child care, and didn’t have the time to go back. Sadly, they lost a customer. I won’t be back.

I got a custom airbrush spray tan a few weeks ago and the whole experience was awful. When I walked in there were three workers in the front and not one of them said hi to me. Instead they talked to each other about how the dress code was going to change. After I said I wanted a spray tan the women yelled at me about how I was going to spray tan a day before my event. I have gotten numerous spray tans in the past and I like to go the day before the event so that it is at its darkest. I then asked what kind of solution they use and she replied «expensive stuff». I asked so that we could figure out how many coats I should get. Once she told me to go into the room and undress her friend had walked into the salon and they talked for about 15 minutes about a guy the salon associate was talking to. while I was waiting in the next room naked and freezing cold. The room itself was DISGUTSINGLY dirty. First off there were two old mysic tan beds that were crammed into a tiny room. I barely had room to extend my arms (I am only 5’2) which is pretty important to be able to do when getting a spray tan. There were also drip marks ALL over the walls and floor. I was also standing on a very old bath towel. The spray tan itself was also terrible. It was a very dark brown color which was also very streaky. The tan lasted a decent amount of time which was unfortunate because I hated it. Overall this place was nasty and I do not recommend it.
The decorations are also cheesey rhinestoned over everything.ew.

I love how the workers always greet you with a smile, & great attitude instead of a bitchy one like other salons. This place is super clean, and I love the atmosphere. Great prices too!

May 28^th after several unsuccessful attempts to schedule an appt. finally I was able to redeem my Groupon for the face value only.
In my 30some years of having manicures done this no chip experience was by far THE WORST!!!
Woman who took care of me had no idea what she was doing Before even attempting to remove my «no-​chip» manicure she informed me that she charges $ 10 to remove somebody else’s no chip! Furthermore she had no clue how to go about removing quality «no chip», finally she FILED DOWN my nail polish leaving dents in my nails. Finally, after hours of torture she let me go with nails still wet and just awful awful finish. My nails are dented and just atrocious. Tomorrow I will have them re-​done by my regular girl, who knows her craft.
I have no idea how this woman got her license to do what she is doing, but obviously standards are getting lower and lower.
People like that shouldn’t even run a business, They got all the clientele through Groupon but if experiences are similar to mine repeat customers are highly unlikely occurrence.

I did a groupon here and got the star treatment! The owners cute little dog greets you as you walk in and everyone is friendly and knows each others name. The owner does your nails and her tech Sissy does your pedi extremely well. The girl at front counter had the cutest nails that just so happen to match my dress for my upcoming 3 – 0 birthday and they did mine just like them per my request for a minimal upgrade fee. The owner knows all her clients (tan and nails) very well and some just come to chat with her after done tanning! If you are looking for a friendly place to tan or get an awesome artistic mani –pedi where people can have a great conversation with you for a great price then this is the spot you want to go!

I had a spray tan here and I have no complaints! The staff was very friendly and the technician knew what she was doing. She also specially mixed the color based off of how dark I wanted to be. I wasn’t orange at all and the tan was perfectly even. Three of us went and we all turned out well, so it wasn’t a fluke. I’d recommend it and I plan on retuning.

Went here with a girlfriend to get our nails done. One of the owners, Kinza, greeted us right away and talked with us about getting our nails done and our color choices. She did both of our nails and was great! She’s really sweet and fun to talk to. Not awkward like normal nail salons. I’d recommend going here.

**NAIL SERVICE REVIEW**
Everything about this place is great. I’m going to focus my review on my nails, but regardless if you’re a tanner or need your nails done — this is the spot in Schaumburg! Well-​managed, clean & organized, professional and friendly. What more could you ask for?
I’ve always had problems with my self-​manicured polish staying on my nails for longer than 24 hours. No-​chip manis have been suggested time and time again. So I finally went for it, after some convincing on Kinza’s part! (I posted a picture on here for reference)
For someone who has to re-​paint her nails ever other day, I’m so happy to have fully painted nails merely 4 days later. Talk to me in 10 days when it’s supposed to STILL be un-​chipped and fresh looking… I’ll be ecstatic!
Service is premium at Suburban Beach Tan! I was immediately greeted upon entering and felt very welcomed. The fact that I was able to pop in pretty late in the evening after work made it even more convenient for me. Kinza instantly offered me something hot to drink (tea, hot chocolate) because of the sub-​zero temps outside. The mani didn’t take that long, not that I was in a hurry — I like to kick back and relax when getting pampered. The company and conversation was great! Unlike some nail salons where chatting is NOT on the menu.
Their pricing is very competitive on both the nail services and tanning packages. Why lock yourself into those big chain spots with their corporate agreements and hidden fees? I always like to support locally-​owned businesses any way I can. If you’re like me, this is the place for you when it comes to tanning and/​or nails.
I was more than extremely pleased with every aspect of the service! I’m already looking forward to my return visit for my next no-​chip!

I decided to try a tanning salon that was not a chain because the retail chains push you to commit to a membership. points vs dollars vs sign-​up fees, cancellation clauses. Yuuugh! I Walked into Suburban Beach Tan to give it a try. Wow, so different than the chain stores. The staff was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The first time I got great color! Next I tried the spray tan. I got nice even color that lasted Yes I do exfoliate on a regular basis and since it is winter, I also moisturize on a regular basis. I think my regular care of my skin had allot to do with the spray tan lasting so long. I have also gotten a no chip manicure, on special. OMG! It lasted better than 2 weeks! My nails always chip cause of the cold about this time of year. I got a beautiful manicure and my nails actually grew! No chips, no snags! No chip is a freakin miracle! I can’t say enough about this place! I look better, feel better and the staff did not try to up-​sell me. Very comfortable and sold me only what I wanted. Great experience here1

** Review for NO CHIP Manicure **
Bought a deal thing off one of the sites, dont recall which one exactly, probably Groupon.
Place was a littl difficult to find, but accomodating — after work, fairly late appointment 7pm… nice staff, very friendly… I dont think I got a regular nail person, rather one of the partners, covering for sick staff… not great for me I think, as the mani-​pedi took about 2.5 hours… and I had other things to finish up that night.
Service was done in a small area in front of the tanning rooms, a lot of people stopped to chat with my nail tech owner and I felt like that might have been distracting and added to the time…
Pedicure was not very thorough, I asked about checking for ingrowns — and to file or clip them a bit. Response was that I should let them grow and go see a doctor. Not much on the filing of the bottom, dont recall more than some exfoliation scub. Coloring of the nails was okay, seemed to be fine, if taking a lot of time.
Manicure… again not thorough. Cuticles were trimmed with one of those V-​shaped tools to gouge away, instead of nippers. There were a couple visible hangnails and a lot of cuticle that could be trimmed and cleaned up — which I asked her to do… again, response like ‘oh they’re not bad… I dont want to make you bleed… lets wait til after the manicure to see…’ HUH?
I trimmed the hangnails later, at home, with the nippers I have… polish was so not close to the edge of my cuticles, after 3 days I had a 2 mm space of white, after a week it was about ¼ of empty nail showing and thought to myself, I could have done better. Usually a manicure lasts me at least 2 weeks… not 2 days.
Will stick with the nail salons from now on, no more hair or tanning places that have a side station for nails… the end result is an unhappy camper.

Love the new owner! very helpful with picking out lotion for super sensitive skin that burns super easily. I’m getting great color with NO burn! :)
I used to work at LA Tan Schaumburg on Roselle Rd and I learned more about tanning in one visit to suburban city than I did being an employee at LA Tan.
prices are also great! definitely recommend!

This is an amazing tanning salon. The people are so friendly. It’s my new tanning salon!!! Melissa Looby

**This reviews is for the spray tanning — not their regular tanning beds**
I’ve never been spray tanning before, and I called ahead of time to make sure I wouldn’t be orange when I left. They sounded pretty confident that they had the best solution, I wouldn’t be streaky, and that it would last. Ok, I will trust you. (Dumb decision on my part I guess).
Well the service is very friendly. I can’t complain about that. They explained how to use everything really well and explained how to make the tan last. They was the best part. The place looks clean and well-​kept, so if you’re into bed tanning I may check this place out.
But the spray tan… never again. $ 20 for one time. Wow. Expensive much? I put lotion on my hands and feet (like the recommended) and they still got tan… even more orange… not good. Right when I got out of the bed my legs were streaking BAD. I patted them down and tried to rub it off. I thought it worked, but when I woke up the next morning it was still there. My face got the most of the tan, but I wish the rest of my body got that tan as well. I could barely tell that I even got a spray tan (besides the streaky legs). Not worth $ 20. I would rather just do the lotion that you can buy at a store.

Love suburban beach! My place shut down & I thought I’d never find a place that I would be 100% satisfied at again! Suburban beach is it! Kinza is great to deal with & definitely knows her stuff. Stephanie is super helpful! I had asked her a question & she called me back promptly with the exact answer I needed. They’re very friendly & always remember your face. The beds are great! They’re definitely nicer than what a lot of tanning salons in Schaumburg have. The salon it’s self as well as the beds are always clean. They have a great selection of current lotions & something for everyone’s price range. I have the highest level monthly package which is (I think!) $ 65 a month, which is a great price for the highest level beds.
After my 1^st tan with them I knew there was no need to continue to shop around. I 100% recommend suburban beach tan!

I really like this salon! Cute and friendly staff! I got sick of going to over prices chain salons so when I found this salon on Unilocal I figured I would try it out! It was exactly what I was looking for! Great prices and a variety of tanning beds :) Definitely check this salon out!

Great tanning beds & staff! Very professional & clean! Now under NEW management and is even better!!! I am very pleased with their services!!!
