5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Tanning at this salon on 23rd St is quite an experience. What separates this store from the others, as I've been to the other Manhattan locations, is the staff. The manager at this location is a guy who goes by James, although I hear his employees sometimes calling him Tony so I'm not sure, but anyway he always takes care of me. From lotion recommendations to great machines and airbrush tanning to stories of how the tanning industry used to be twenty years ago it's always an experience at 23rd St. But don't take my word for it... Head over to 23rd & Lex... Ask for James

Pros: Manager has 20+ years experience, staff members trained well

Cons: Not open 24 hours

I haven't been in NY that long and a friend recommended that I try airbrush tanning at the Beach Bum on 23rd street. I would definitely recommend Elise if you are looking for a good airbrush artist. She did an outstanding job and was very professional. I was surprised at how good my tan looked (very natural and no ORANGE!!). I will recommend her to other people. I thought the salon was very clean and the prices were reasonable. They will try to suggest you buy "packages" of tanning. If you tan alot it's probably a good idea, but I would give it a try once or twice before you commit to anything.

Pros: Professional Service

Cons: A little pricey (it's NY!!!) but good results.
