Bask Tanning

When Randy owned Bask, it was great: the prices were good, we could leave our lotions there, they were open on the hours that were posted…
NOW, I have to pay $ 25 more than what i used to pay and they are closed on random days (while their hours say they should be open) with no notice. No signs on the door about how long they will be closed, etc.
I must say I am most definitely not impressed with the way the new owners are running things. I will be considering going somewhere else.

They say they open at 10am. I’m here and have been for 15 mins past 10am and the door is locked and nobody is here. Not professional!

The new owners Doubled the price!

I WAS a member of Bask Tanning for well over 5 years, until Randy sold it to the new owners. When Randy owned the salon he let his customers store their tanning lotion in the drawers. I opted not to pick up my lotion and keep it at the salon I THOUGHT the new owner would not throw our lotions away. When I went to renew my monthly package I asked the girl at the front. Her reply was to me that Randy threw them all away and then proceeded to tell me that at the beginning if August they were going to have a sale in all tanning lotions. With this day and age people should know that you can locate anyone nowadays online. I found Randy on FB and asked him about the lotion. His reply to me was that he would never throw it away and said that the NEW OWNER knew they were there. Now I would understand if Randy had to discard the lotions if they were not picked up but for the new owner to have her people lie to customers is Bad Business practice. Very unethical and deceiving. I went in last week to cancel and there was another girl and as I was canceling my membership I reiterated the same thing to her. Her reply was she was directed to tell customers that and that is all she knew. I can’t take it out on the innocent girl working the front desk so I decided to give the salon a bad review. Stinks that now I can’t just walk as it is right behind my work and it fit into my tight schedule. My business will now go to Glow in Watertown. Word to the owner fess up and tell people you threw there lotions away. I’m sorry for the people who had the monthly membership is it really worth losing that monthly membership payment or would you rather let the lotions fly off of the shelf?

GREAT! Amazing beds at decent prices. I have gone to pleanty of different places and this one is GREAT! They offer great deals for all different price ranges so it fits your budget. Also NO WAIT @ 5pm was GREAT!
thanks for the great service and awesome beds!

Since I was new to the area I needed to find a tanning salon. I decided to try Bask because of the awesome reviews on Unilocal!
Now that I’ve been going for about a month I decided to review it myself.
I got a 6 month plan it was $ 30 for the enrollment fee and $ 20 a month, I got the level 1 package. At that point (as I understand) you can upgrade during a visit for an extra fee, depending on what level you want to upgrade to.
All the employees I’ve encountered have been very pleasant and helpful. When I was choosing my plan the woman didn’t try to get me to get anything I didn’t need. They never try to push any products, overall a pretty simple experience. I would definitely recommend Bask.

I wanted a tanning salon that was on the way home, and I’m SO glad I found this place on Unilocal.You definitely won’t get the mega cheap prices found at the massive chains, but if you’re ok with spending a few extra bucks, I highly recommend Bask. Every person who works there is so sweet, the beds are always clean, there’s rarely a wait (if ever…), and they have a good amount of options. Only a few disadvantages: the poles to grab in the stand-​up beds are super high (but I’m a shorty…), the radio is a hard to hear sometimes, the external fan in one of the rooms is broken (they may have totally fixed it by now and I just haven’t noticed), and the street parking can get a bit messy sometimes. But those are tiny little things. I recommend going!

I went to Bask Tanning for the first time today. I am very pleased with the service i received there. Randy, the owner, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The prices here are very reasonable. My only complaint is the one year commitment required for any of their memberships. There are a variety of beds to choose from depending on your budget and tanning needs. The salon also seemed very clean. I really liked how the owner took the time to explain the different packages and tanning beds to me. So far, i am very happy that I picked this tanning salon over other ones i was looking at.

Talk about a great tanning salon! Randy is so cheerful and informative. He knows all of his clients by name, even if you’ve only been going in for a short time. He makes you feel so welcome when you enter the salon every day. He will definitely talk your ear off, but it’s so fantastic to go some where and get an A+ on Customer Service! This salon is so clean and maintained which is another HUGE plus. If you’re looking for a fair priced, clean and fun tanning salon I HIGHLY reccommend Bask Tanning. I won’t go any where else thanks to Randy!

I am not a tanner. In fact, I haven’t been tanning since my senior prom which was years and years ago. But when my sister picked out this latte colored bridesmaid dress for us all to wear at her wedding I knew I needed to do something. New England’s weather patterns weren’t going to help me so I looked up a tanning salon near my yoga studio and found Bask. I called and spoke to the owner who was very nice and helpful and told me to come in so we could see how pale I was and how much help I needed.
So here I am, a week and a half before my sister’s wedding (I procrastinate), and pale from around so much snow this year. Randy set me up with a great tanning package, worked with me on pricing, and I’m already looking darker. Pretty sure my sister won’t kill me now and I have Randy to thank.
Oh and be prepared: I’m pretty sure they only take Visa… maybe MC too but def not Amex.

Since moving to Watertown from out of state and starting a new job about a year and a half ago I have been stuck in an office and havent seen the sun. That being said I got tired of looking at my Casper white skin and wanted to get a head start on summer. I found Bask on Unilocal and decided to give it a try based on the reviews. Randy, the owner was at the front desk and helped me pick out the right tanning package for me. He was very down to earth and helpful. The place is easy to find, ample street parking and it is VERY clean inside. I will definitely be back!

Have not been tanning for a long time. Met the owner today and he was gracious and informative. Bask is clean and well maintained with new equipment. Just my thoughts, great to support local business too.

If you are looking for a tanning salon look no further. Randy is a really nice guy, very personal and knowledgeable about his business. He runs a tight ship at Bask. the machines are up to date and the salon is clean.

Just went here for the first time to prep for an upcoming wedding I’m in (hadn’t been tanning in years!). I’d definitely recommend this place — very friendly staff, clean booth, nice waiting area… There seems to be plenty of street parking right nearby (I found a spot right away). I’ll be back here for sure!

I am not a tan person, nor am I one who goes tanning on a regular basis. That being said, I am getting married in less than three months and would like to be able to differentiate between myself and my dress.
I had been to Bask a few times before I’ve gone on vacation and Randy (the owner) is without fail the nicest, most knowledgeable and least pushy person I’ve ever met in a tanning salon. He set me up with a great series of sessions that reflects the fact that I can’t go tanning 20 minutes at a time and I am not a millionaire. He keeps the salon spotless and everyone who works there seems to be as genial as he is.

OK! You got me. Fine.
I KNOW it’s bad for me. I really like tanning.
I don’t even really do it to be tan, but to feel all nice and warm in the middle of winter.
This place is super clean, and the girl working (forget her name, sorry!) was nice and knowledgeable. She explained the different levels of the beds and how they tan, UV-​A and UV-​B, and she let me know where she got her manicure (Shiny Nails nearby; her nails looked great!).
I only got a single session and a packet of lotion, because I don’t want to go all the time, but this was just what I needed – a cocoon of warmth with pop music blaring!
This is super close to the Watertown BSC, too, if you were interested in a little GTL. Not that I am, because I’m not.

Ok, i don’t remember what i wrote in my last review. Either way i like this place a lot more than i used to. Randy is still the owner and a very nice guy.
the bed i went into was very good i believe it was level 3. i really likes the face lamps.
last time i went into a different bed and there was not fan attached the the bed or in the room. hopefully that bed isn’t like that anymore but if i had given Bask a not so good review that’s why. the girl that works there with him is very nice too. i think i went to high school with her. because of their location i will be going her alot more often than another place. that is if i want to damage my skin, i kinda like doing that though.

I know I promised myself that I wouldn’t go to the tanning salon anymore, but damn if I don’t look and feel sickly when I am grossly pale from the (apparent) 10 month winter we have here in Massachusetts.
I was on my way to Target and stopped into this place, and I am very glad I did. The owner, Randy, is very knowledgeable and friendly. The place is clean, the beds are great, and the prices are very good. What else do you really need in a tanning salon? I have been to a ton of different tanning salons over the years and this definitely ranks among the top! Some of the bigger chains are pretty nice, but I would much rather give the business to a local owner!
Even better: I haven’t been in the sun in awhile now, and I came out tan (not even a little bit of burn!) I will definitely come back here!

Two stars? I was harsh in my earlier Unilocal days!
Anywho, I returned to Bask Tanning yesterday to actually tan, and I’m glad I did.
I walk in just after 6 to find the owner Randy, who pleasantly introduces himself and shakes my hand, and another employee enjoying a bucket of KFC. I instantly feel at home. He’s super nice and fills me in on their deals. He says he doesn’t want to sell me crap I don’t need, but spends a good amount of time telling me about some new lotions they carry– he talks for a while, so don’t come here if you don’t have time to chat.
But all in all, I liked it. I enjoyed my level three booth. His prices (single visit and package) are reasonable, but not the lowest I’ve found, and he really does focus on customer service, which is refreshing.

yes I occasionally go tanning, AND? I’m sorry but the kabuki look does not look cute on me.
Randomly stopped in on my many trips to New England and the owner was super nice and informative. I only went once and the machine he recommended worked great. The price was good and I would definitely come back on my next trip
