Golden Palms Tanning Resort

Golden palms is the cleanest, nicest tanning salon that I have ever been to. The staff is always friendly. There are discounted upgrade specials everyday of the week for different tanning levels. I get so tan here & will never go to any other salon!

This is by far the best tanning salon in Wayne County. I have tried many different places within Canton, Plymouth, and Livonia; none of the places give me color like Golden Palms! The salon is very clean, they have top of the line beds, and a great selection of lotions. Plus each day of the week is an option for an upgrade for a discount… walkin or with a package.

I’ve changed my mind about this salon. After exploring a few other places in the area, I’ve decided that this tanning salon offers the cleanest & most esthetically pleasing atmosphere. The level one beds also provide enough color for me.
I was originally upset about the hours & prices; however, I think that purchasing a month unlimited tanning for about $ 25 is well worth it if you go at least once a week.

I used to love and tell everyone about Golden Palms tanning. I live about 15 – 20 minutes away, yet I loved it so much I would do the drive. Lately I am finding myself thinking of trying a new place. They have a girl at the front desk who is so unfriendly and rude. Makes it uncomfortable to even walk in. She doesn’t even ask how long you would like to tan some times, if you ask a question she acts like you shouldn’t be. Why would I want to pay the higher cost and be treated like you don’t want my business. If it wasn’t for her I would not be writing this. Find someone friendly and happy to take my money.

For a long time I went to a tanning salon in Plymouth (Illuminations which for the life of me I CANNOT find on here to review!!) and was ticked when I moved and it was a bit far. I like my tanning places no more than a 5 minute drive! I tried another Canton one but hated it, then found this one which I believe is a Westland address.
Annnnnyway… I really like this place. The prices are not the cheapest, but I am willing to pay a few extra bucks for a place I like to go to. For one, they never look at me funny or treat me any differently when I come in there looking like a hag. This is a bonus for me. I roll out of bed and go tanning and generally look pretty haggard. LOL. I don’t know who does their makeup and dresses up before tanning, but I certainly do not.
Other good things: Clean clean clean, nice décor, updated beds with good built-​in fans (you won’t even sweat, overheat, or know you’re in a tanning bed if you set them right, it took me a few trial and errors lol), and lots of bed and package options, private radios in each room with speakers built in to the beds.
Most of the staff doesn’t even need to ask my name when I go in which is a nice personal touch.
I have never burned in any of their beds either. I am pretty ‘experienced’ tanner and wouldn’t go in for longer than is safe, but junky beds at some local places just suck so bad and burn you if you’re not careful.
Bring your own goggles, but there is a clean towel in each room.
My only minor gripe is that the first few times I bought packages there, the staff didn’t tell me about this buy one/​get one package special that would have saved me some money over the months. Another staff member who had never waited on me before told me about it one day. It kind of ticked me off but what can I do now?
So all in all, it’s the best place I’ve found near my Canton apartment and I continue to go there.

Yes, it’s expensive. I would bet it’s the most expensive tanning place in the area. But it’s worth it.
If you’re going to expose yourself to some harmful rays, at least make it a pleasurable experience, right?
They have 5 levels of beds. My favorite is the 4. It gives you a great color, and the beds have «air conditioning» and aromatherapy mist. This cuts down on that weird, sweaty, tanning smell that you get afterwards.
You can tell that someone has trained the front desk staff to remember your name, because they always address everyone by their first name when they come in. I like that they are always pleasant and have a good attitude.
You can easily tell what the high prices are paying for. The beds are new, and the décor is really cool. For some reason they have started asking you if you want a towel and goggles, instead of just giving them to you.
As I said before, lotions and packages are really pricey, but you won’t feel obligated to upgrade. The staff can will give you a great description of all the price levels without pushing you toward the more expensive packages.
I have seen the rooms being cleaned on several occasions, and they wipe down the entire bed thoroughly between uses.
You definitely get what you pay for here. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
