What People Are Saying About City Sun Tanning

The Owner

City Sun Tanning

Owner

Visit City Sun Tanning and you'll quickly fall in love with this stylish new ground floor salon, located right off Union Square. City Sun has tanning beds, stand-ups and spray tanning to meet every budget in single and series sessions and membership plans.

All of our equipment is first class. We offer the only P90 in NYC, which is the best tanning bed in the world. It produces a rich, golden tan in open-air comfort and is a true work of art. The AutoBronzer spray tanner, again the only one in NYC, is miles beyond other salons' old school spray booths and delivers a streak-free, natural-looking tan in under a minute.

With friendly service, complimentary bottled water, chilled scented towels for apres-tan and a remote control music system in each bed (including a beach sounds channel) make a visit to our salon the highlight of your day.

Tanning Snobs!

by Dorothy0202

My wonderful boyfriend bought me a package for Valentine's - paid for the best sun beds they had, almost $200. Loved it! Staff was great, the beds were the best I had ever used, and the scented towels made you feel so refreshed afterwards. When I decided to purchase my own package when the first ended, I could only afford the basic sessions. Immediately, I was treated like a second class citizen. No more escorts to the tanning rooms, they yelled my room number across the counter, when I asked a question or tried to inform them of a broken fan, the staff looked at me like I had three heads. I was so glad when my last tanning session was up. When the girl behind the counter tried to get me to buy another package, it was so gratifying to say, "No thank you, I'll be taking my business elsewhere."

  • Pros: Moist, scented towels and mints
  • Cons: Stuck up staff
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

"Buy One Get One" Special ROCKS!

by EPriss

City Sun Tanning is within walking distance from the East Village and nearest to Union Square. The staff are informative and willing to answer any questions about packages, beds, lotions, etc. I thought the damp cloth with fresh lemon fragrant was a great addition to any previous tanning salon I had been to.

  • Pros: Affordable Tanning Salon
  • Cons: Short Wait, but worth the results.

Friendly employees

by pvm3733

I had such a great experience with one of the employees named Kenny. Long story short- he refunded me money (that may have been due to an error on my part) no questions asked. Very friendly and extremely polite. I looked on the website to see if there was a place to write in about my very positive experience, but only found an email. I received a reply from the owners of the salon the next day- one of the nicest, kindest responses. I was thrilled and hope that with this feedback- they can generate more business (although it doesn't sound like they're hurting for customers)! Please go here.. I will continue to talk about this experience to people I know.

  • Pros: The beds, employees and atmosphere
  • Cons: Nothing

Found my new tanning home

by nycgirl171

I just signed up for an unlimited membership, having switched from my old tanning salon and being recommended this place as the best. The service was great - Kenny answered my questions and even gave me the student discount after seeing I was holding an id. I didnt even know it was offered there so that was really nice. I was able to tan on my first day after signing up and was really impressed by the machines. The place is very clean, spa-like, and I'm definitely looking forward to being a member there.

Best Tanning Salon in America!

by Noelle19

I have lived in LA, New York and Dallas and have never found a tanning salon that compares with City Sun. The high pressure bed is amazing! Their beds do not give a fake tan look, but a golden "real sun" look. I highly recommend this place not only for the quality of the equipment, but also for the friendly service.
