Tanning Loft

I first came by at 9:30 on a Saturday morning and I’m standing outside with two other customers and it’s closed. I gave the benefit of the doubt, it’s Saturday so it could be a rough morning. I ran another errand and came back at 10:00. STILL NO ONE HERE. The hours on the door say 9:00am. Well, where are they?

I don’t use tanning beds I use spray tans. I used the Versa Spray tan in the city several times and never had an issue. I went to tanning loft on Nome last night November 9^th and used the Versa, I asked for the same shade I always use, Half the spray came out black, literally black and greasey. I don’t know if the spray needs to be cleaned or if it was a malfunction. it left a weird shade on me. I showed the front desk my black streaks and although she was very nice didn’t really know what to do and just said she doesn’t use it so she didn’t know. I’m hoping the black/​gray /​orange residue will come off in the shower .I might try to get my money back but will probably just avoid this place. Staff is nice but from what I saw the equipment was icky.

I rarely tan since I have olive skin to begin with but if I have a special event coming up I’ll go. I’ve been to this location, Hylan & Victory and I find Nome to be the dirtiest. I only go in stand up and theres a fan underneath your feet that has receipts, tissues and grossly even bandaids flying around. The lights always have dried up gook on them that I’m hoping is just lotion. The parking lot is always packed because of the other businesses in the plaza so you don’t always get a spot when you go at night. Also, there is always a lot of people tanning here but if there’s a wait it’s no longer than 10 minutes. The girls behind the counter are nice but I think the manager needs to teach them to clean better or give this place a complete scrub down.

If you’re looking to get a dark tan, QUICKLY, then this is your place. Their beds are fantastic, they’re open LATE most days, and there’s always a place to park.
Only con is service. It isn’t the friendliest, and the girls who work the front are usually to busy either smoking, flirting with the guys, screaming into their cell phones, or just generally ignoring you to provide good service.
So, how can I still give the place 4 stars? Well, I go tanning to TAN. And I’ve honestly never gotten a better tan anywhere else… so as far as that goes, they really do win.
