For the third time I've made an apt at this spa and had to wait because 'we just put someone in'. What part of apt time doesn't make sense? The answer from the desk staff was ' well most people are usually late."" well not me. \t\n\t\nSince the new mgmt and with Tara and Tamara gone customer service has gone downhill. \t\n\t\nSo why make an apt at a specific time if it's not going to be held? \t\n\t\nFinding a new spa after this session is complete. ...read more

New owners but won't be in business long! Received 1 week trial coupon having been a prior member encouraging a return now that the spa is under new management. Thought this was great and it is that time of year to start/renew a membership. Went to use it and once you show up they have all kinds of terms to use including you MUST bring a friend.You cant refer a friend, can't give them a coupon to come in when it is convenient for them, they must be with you. Now I am in my 40's so it is not a teenage thing and none of these requirements were in the promotional letter. VERY frustrating experience. I even waited 15 minutes while the receptionist texted the owners. I went down the street and signed up at Sun City and had a very nice experience. Bad business decision Planet Beach .... ...read more

Sun Tan City

This is the prettiest tanning salon I have ever seen! Not only is this salon beautiful, but the staff is so friendly and knowledgable. I went into the salon looking to get a tan for my best friend's wedding this weekend. I had never even considered trying a spray tan since I am very fair skinned normally. The lady who helped me out was so excited to show me their spray tan booth and all of the great products that I could get to keep my spray tan longer. After she showed me the steps of what to do while in the booth, she also let me watch a tutorial video in the lobby. There was no way I could mess this up, and the lady who assisted me was a walking advertisement for how natural the color was going to be. I was so excited to try it out, and now a day later, I am so glad she educated me about how awesome a spray tan could be! I have such a beautiful tan, and my best friend went in today to get hers done before her special wedding day!! ...read more

The owners that took over the SunnySide Tanning Spa in Holly Springs back in 2008 just took over this salon in September of 2010!!! It is so different!! They try very hard to meet the needs of the clients and to make sure everyone leaves happy!! Wider variety of lotions! Small boutique with clothes, jewelry and bags! FABULOUS and very helpful staff in a very clean environment!! COME SEE FOR YOURSELF! SPECIALS EVERY MONTH! ...read more

Since the first day I walked into Jill's Beach, I have nothing but a great experiance. I have tanned at three other salons in the area and have AlWAYS ended up with a burn. This has never happened at Jills! They, unlike the others, actually take the time to rate your skin profile. From the profile, you are then set on your tanning treck. Being of Irish and Scottish descent and pale as a ghost, I was a bit worried. However, here I am a year later and I still walk thru those beautiful doors to get my tan on. And one more time never a burn in site! ...read more

My very first time at a "Jills" was when the Tryon rd location opened. Being an Interior Designer by trade I was immediately impressed by the space. It was clear the staff was knowledgeable and I quickly picked up on a real passion for a nice tan from Jill, the owner, who was at the location that day. I loved the overall mood, music and sense of style. Like going to a great restaurant..... sometimes it's all about the mood. ...read more

I've been tanning with Jill's for over 2 years now. They are great to work with. They know me on a first name basis. I've tried other tanning salons -- including the versaspa sunless tanning. I speak from experience, that sunless tanning formular left me looking orange! I purchased 3 sessions and only used one of them. \t\n\t\nJill's does change her bulbs regularly at all the salons. The only salon I've not visited is in Garner...I plan to stop by there this weekend and reunite myself with the 1050 again -- it used to be in Cary. I tried the SunAngel for the first time this weekend and it was great! \t\n\t\nJill's Beach offers good service and are by far a superior value to the chain salons in the area! Rather to the competition don't bash another salon, instead spend your energy improving your services and technologies. ...read more

Having tanned most of my adult life (20+ years), I can honestly say that Jill's Beach is by far the best salon I have ever used. The locations are convenient, clean, and very stylish. The staff is always welcoming and have smiles on their faces. Most all of them know me by name as well. I have never had an issue with the bulbs being burned out or even having to wait for a bed usually (unless it's Prom Season!). The staff and the owner also take time to educate the consumer on the pros and cons of tanning and will not let you risk burning. The salon also offers spray tanning, which I use occasionally, and the most up to date tanning lotions. Overall, I think that it is the best Raleigh has to offer.\t\n\t\nAWJ ...read more

I recently moved here from the West, where Versa Spa is what everyone uses, and I have been shocked to see that so many people here still use Mystic Tan. I normally spray tan once a week to look tan, but don't want to use the UV beds. I went to Jill's to start my membership here, but they confirmed to me that they will only offer Mystic Tan, and the color from this booth is awful-- nobody in California even offers Mystic anymore, and I have been so surprised that everyone here still uses it! There is a new chain with two Cary salons that does offer Versa Spa (FINALLY!), so if you are doing sunless tanning you should not go to Jill's. Although the staff was very friendly, I will only spray tan in a Versa Spa! ...read more

This is a very pretty tanning salon, but I have been going there for over a year and now looking for another salon! All of her beds need new bulbs. They are very rarely changed. First of all, when you look at the bulbs the ends are almost black. That tells me they are weak bulbs and they do not tan you!!!!! I normally tan very well and fast. At this salon I can't even tell I've been. \t\n\t\nVery disappointed in this place. But the staff is very nice! ...read more
