The Tanning Club

One of the best tanning experiences I've ever had!

by Katherine G at Citysearch

I'm from Northern California and moved here recently and can't seem to find the time to lay out and enjoy the California sun. Recently, the weather has been uncharacteristically cloudy and gloomy, and with spring break approaching, I've got to find a solution to fix my pasty white skin!

Solution? The Tanning Club in Westwood.

I walked in and was greeted by a very friendly, smiling, and most importantly KNOWLEDGEABLE girl at the front desk who explained to me all the different levels of bed tanning. She explained that all the beds in their salon are medium and high pressure European tanning beds and was honest and clear about the best ways to build my base tan as quickly and in a way that was as affordable, as possible.

They've got levels 2, 3, 4, and 5 along with mystic tanning. I purchased an unlimited month for Level 4 tanning at great price and they even threw in a free Level 5 upgrade!

The salon itself is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The entire salon and the beds themselves are clean and pristine. They have a vanity area in the back with marble sinks, fresh towels, baby wipes, face wash, deodorant, moisturizer... basically every toiletry you could ever imagine.

I got into my level 4 aromatherapy bed (yes, aromatherapy!) and was pleasantly surprised by the satellite radio that piped in through the sound system of my tanning bed.

They've got free parking in the back and some amazing unlimited monthly membership deals. I'm planning on buying another membership and also trying out their custom airbrush service.

No snooty, rude tanning salon girls in a high-class, luxury, beauty-service environment. All these amenities and their great prices have made me a Tanning Club devotee for sure!

Luxury Tanning for Less!

I go tanning pretty frequently and have tried multiple other places in the nearby areas of westwood and brentwood. This place wipes the competition under the table. They offer the same beds as Le Beach Club on San Vincente for half the price. The customer service is amazing. I walked in, and because all the beds were currently in use, they upgraded me to a better bed so that I wouldn't have to wait. The staff is very friendly and professional. You don't walk in to a teenage girl slumped over the counter chewing gum and twirling her hair, talking on her cell phone while typing your name into the computer. The staff members greet you when you walk in and leave, and are available for you to ask questions without you feeling like you're bothering them, or keeping them from closing because they have a party to go to. You can tell they are very client oriented and have all kinds of specials that meet your needs in price/quantity. All my friends go here and they LOVE IT. Even my my lighter complexion friends because they have a specialized bed for customers who have light skin that normally burns. My only complaint is that they dont have a location that I can walk to from brentwood. But its totally worth the short drive.

• Pros: Prices, Upscale Beds, Customer Service
• Cons: Needs more locations

Great place to tan!

I just moved to the westwood area from northern california and I really don't understand why tanning is so much less expensive up there compared to here. I've tried a couple places down here, including of course the place with the show (that show cracks me up, love it) and by far the best place to go is the tanning club nearby. I bought two months of unlimited bed tanning for $120 and got another month free and they gave me a couple sessions on the "VIP" beds. I've only used one month so far but i love that i can use the lay down bed or the stand up and they're open til 10 so i don't feel like i'm rushing to get in.

I'm used to the places in norcal where the beds were 20 minutes max and here the longest is 12 minutes, but the color comes a lot faster so it's a lot more convenient.

• Pros: parking!! personable staff, great hours

Total Waste of money, very over-priced and beds aren't that

I live on Wilshire Corridor and checked out this place in Westwood across from Subway. The people were friendly, but their pricing is completely pathetic. A 16 min. Tan will cost you almost 50 bucks and the beds aren't even that great. I asked the girl why their so expensive and all she did was giggle and said "honestly, I have no clue". The place is small and their is no parking. It's clean but seriously your just throwing your money away. I am a real person FYI and not a manager posting fake reviews for my own establishment. I ended up going to Sunset Tan which was a little farther from where I live, but the price was almost half the amount of this place and the beds are much nicer and newer. Don't waste your time or money at this spot unless your really desperate for a tan. They also don't have much variety of beds either.

Friendly and Affordable Tan

I've always thought of Tanning as more of a errand, but I genuinely enjoy stopping by the Tanning Club. Whether after class/working out or a quick shopping break, the Tanning Club has an enthusiastic and engaging crew. I walk in and they remember my name and are always willing to chat just about life. In addition, the prices are unbeatable for the high-end area. They have a crazy array of lotions and potions which I honestly would vouch for as not only smelling great, but also getting you over that tanning wall/plateau you often experience. Honestly, a GREAT find!

• Pros: parking, staff, mystic, prices, location
