I got my tans gift card style. The employees are so friendly and pofessional. I got the best tan fast! The layout and atmoshere of the shop is great. I like that it is just a tanning salon so that the salon gets all the attention and first priority.

Thank you for the great comment Gabrielle.

Your Shop, Beds and employees are wonderful!!!! It's extremely relaxing to come in there and go straight to a bed without waiting and just relaxing after a hard day at the office. Thanks so much!

I love Sahara Tanning Salon!

To all the wonderful gals down at the Teays "SAHARA".......you are the greatest and I love you all !!

Nothing says "SUMMER" like a good dose of Ultra-Violets !!! Phil

Thank you for putting a clean, relaxing, up-to-date tanning salon in this area that isn't so small and cluttered with NASCAR items that you feel like your at a racetrack instead of a tanning salon. I am very picky about things such as tanning beds and one of my key selling points is cleanliness. Saying that I would like for you to know the times I have been to your Teays Valley location it has been very clean and the staff has been helpful, pleasant, and very nice. I will definitely recommend you to others. Thank You, Stephanie

We all Thank you Stephanie.

love your place!!!!!!!!

Each time I tan at Sahara Tanning Salon II, I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvinated. The staff has always been warm, friendly, and educated about all areas of tanning. I have received excellent advice on choosing the tanning lotion that gives me the all over color and glow that I expect. Keep up the good work. See you soon.

Hey i really love your tanning salons! They are the best ever!!

I've been a Sahara Tanning (Hurricane) customer for a few years now and I love it, the employees are always friendly and I love that I don't have to wait for a bed.

That's only because you make me "hotter" with each tanning session... haha!

Thanks Seth H.

I am in love with your salon! Having lived in Charleston for 5 years, I just relocated to the Teays Valley area. When asking my friends which tanning salon was the best in the Valley, Saraha was the recommendation. So, I tried it out and I vow never to tan anywhere else again!! Amazing beds, good prices, and great customer service! Keep up the good work. Thanks Stephanie Y. for the great comment.

Customer Reviews

Sahara Tanning Salon is the nicest salon that I have ever visited. It is extremely clean and put together from the moment you walk into the door. They have several beds that are your regular power beds, however, these are huge. I am not a big woman so I have room in most beds, but I have tons and tons of room in these. They have a built in radio that you can chose to listen to or not. They don't work with paper files everything is through the computer system. They have several other beds that allow for high power tanning. Each bed just looks clean and makes you want to just take off your clothes and jump in. The prices are alittle higher than you may pay at other places, but not by much and if I'm going to take off my clothes I would rather feel like the place is clean. Wouldn't you? I would recommend this tanning bed over any of them in the Valley.
