Smart Tan Salons UV+

I seldom use tanning salons but when I do it’s usually before a vacation (where after 2 days ‘vacationing’, I look ready for a body bag). This tanning place is convenient to other places I shop on a week night and the reason why I returned. While the staff from the past have expressed concern over my pallid complexion and warned me against spending more than 8 minutes in a booth, I’ve found –despite the futuristic, sleek design of the beds– that amount of time ridiculously ineffective.
Tonight, I went for the last time. After forking over $ 20 for 10 minutes, twice I had to dress and step out into the public area to ask about control settings because I’d forgotten my contacts and the poor lighting made it tough to see. The worker helped me out by setting the timer and left the room. Seven minutes later, and barely time to undress again, the bed turned off! While she had offered to turn the timer back on for my lost 3 minutes I declined having to disrobe yet again and left extremely annoyed for my wasted time and money. Whatever I muttered under my breath as I exited couldn’t have offended her any more than the obnoxious song playing in my room with the catchy chorus of «…motherf***er…».
If these places spent a little less on trying to impress with machines that really don’t do more than the tanning beds of 15 years ago, maybe they wouldn’t have to charge a doctor’s fee.

This is a very clean, and well maintained place. They have great options for tanning. Wish they had better times for the shake bar, other than that it was nice.

Love the staff and atmosphere! Will definitely be back! Going to try out their spray tanning services soon!

I recently discovered this tanning salon, right up the street from my GYM (convenient). It’s really cute inside and the salon is very clean. Always have great music playing, hair ties in the room in case you forget one and perfume to use afterwards.
negatives: The Wait — sometimes there’s a 10 – 15 minute wait per bed.
The Options in the tanning beds (broken or unusable) for instance the button to increase and decrease the facial lights along with the fan. Don’t work as expected.
I’ve also paid extra for a level 3 bed. The selection on the bed shows mist –no mist comes out. I feel if you’re paying for something it should work.

I really like this establishment. The staff is always friendly and attentive. The place is very clean and I like how they are creative with the small things for the clients such as providing items for the clients such as face wipes, ponytail holders, deodorant, etc. The small personal touches make it all that much better.

Look, I am not Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard, but this ONE poorly run business. This is the 3^rd Sunday in recent weeks they are NOT open. Yet, they advertise they open at 10AM. It was 11:30 this morning and they are locked up tighter than Fort Knox!
Secondly, equipment is broken for weeks at a time with major employee turnover.
I have been using the electronic beach for over 30 years and this is one of the WORST places I have ever used. For the amount they charge you’d think they could get the fundamentals right.
They have a sign in the window inviting clients to write a review on Unilocal for 30 days of FREE tanning. I have a hunch mine won’t qualify, nor do I want it to.

I’ve been to a few tanning salons over the years and this one has been my absolute favorite.
One, the atmosphere inside is just so cool, you never want to leave. Oftentimes you have to wait for the next available booth/​bed to open up so waiting can be a little boring. Not here, they have an ultra cool lounge area where you can park yourself to wait.
They have everythinig you can think of in the separate rooms. Hand sanitizer, after tanning spray (to help rid of that tanning smell) loofahs to help apply lotion to your back, and enough space to hold a party.
They offer spray tans as well, I’ve heard they are pretty awesome, I am hoping to try one in the near future. Staff has always been super friendly and they always are offering great promotions. I got a great base tan here for my wedding last year and I loved it!

I absolutely LOVE this tanning salon. Been going since August 2012, the place looks like its straight out of Jersey Shore (in a good way). All the beds are TOP of the line going from level 1 — 5 and are very specific to how it will tan or burn you. Recently just got a spray tan in one of their smart booths, it was so easy and it didn’t look orange. All new customers can try a free 30 day trial, which I did and loved! Check this place out, a free month doesn’t hurt especially this point of season.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, both beds and spray tans were great. I do agree with the other reviewer about the staff it can be hit or miss.

So, I live and work in Providence, so there are a plethora of tanning salons closer to me that I can choose from, but I make the effort to drive to Smart Tan.
I’ve been going here for about a year now, and have nothing bad to say about the place! The smart beds that are offered here really give you a great, dark tan quickly. I like the convenience of the different levels — during less busy times when I can go more often, I can use the lower level beds and save some money. If I haven’t been able to get there for awhile, or if I can’t visit as frequently, I can still get a great tan by using a higher level bed.
I particularly like that they make the whole tanning experience as relaxing, convenient, and enjoyable as possible. There are a plethora of freebies available to customers like hair and skin products for their use. While I wish their prices were a little lower, I nonetheless recommend this tanning salon to anyone looking to tan quicker and safer!
