Ultimate Tans

I only gave it one star because they have one of the cheapest spray tans I’ve ever seen and its within walking distance of my house. Went to Ultimate in an attempt to get a spray tan. Checked the hours online, said they were open until 9 pm, yet when I walked in at 8:42 pm, I was denied service because they were «closing».
The explanation from the worker behind the counter was, «They’re already waiting on one girl to go in who’s in a normal tanning booth currently and they have to close their doors at 9 on the dot so they can’t let me go in.» Excuse me, but what? You hold a tanning booth open free for another customer so they don’t have to wait? But I’m standing here willing to wait and you won’t take me? I didn’t realize people held this much power at a tanning salon nor did I realize this girl thought that was even a rational response to give someone.
When I asked if they could accommodate me, seeing as I am in the middle of finals week (I wanted the tan before my graduation ceremony this Saturday) she said no, to come back in the morning since locking the door had to happen exactly at 9 pm. 1. I didn’t realize if you locked the door that meant no one could exit either and 2. if you didn’t just argue with me for five minutes I could have been in and out of there by now. Clearly I came now because the morning doesn’t work for me.
In summary: Some of the most horrible service I have ever seen as well as exceptionally rude and ignorant workers. Clearly not concerned with keeping customers happy or making money. I’ll stick to California Tans, the newer/​cleaner/​nicer salon in downtown State College, even if it requires me to walk five minutes longer or pay a little more.
