I never write reviews, but I felt that I need to in this case. I scheduled a spray tan prior to my trip down south and when I showed up they told me it was out of order. I was told I should have received a voice mail or email. I had missed a call earlier in the day but with no caller ID or voice mail, I didnt know who it was. When I explained this the women at the desk simply shrugged their shoulders. I will not be going back and I would not recommend it. Terrible customer service and now Im unable to make other arrangements prior to departure.

Probably one of the cleanest studios in town... The staff is always super pleasant and very well educated! The fact that there is a spray tan machine is a plus (definitely preferable to having a person do it).

After years of tanning all over Halifax, Bedford and Dartmouth, I found this studio the cleanest, most affordable for myself as a student as well as having had the most knowledgeable and professional staff. I enjoyed the customer service so much as a client over the past year that I eventually applied and now I am thrilled to work with such a fabulous team!
