I really enjoy coming in and tanning at your shop. I always get a really quick tan if a tan just a few times a week thats just how good your beds are going to other places to tan you have to go everyday, and sometimes people dont have everyday to tan. So I really enjoy that comfort. Also the place is spotless the beds are roomy to keep you from getting white spots... I have been going there for almost 2 yrs and I enjoy each and everytime.
Thanks so much Angela

I just recently started tanning at your salon. I dont usually go tanning very much. I've went to other salons and never was satisfied. I was recommended by a friend to tan at your salon. So, far I am very impressed. I love that you have 12 minute high pressure beds only. I love that you have a high selection of all different types of lotions and sun care products. Also, it's a plus you clean your clients beds after use and the reasoing behind it was to make sure it was sanitary. There are so many reasons to want to go to Sahara Tanning. I am very happy with my results so far. I also noticed you actually change your tanning bed bulbs every so many hours. Thats great because some places dont change theres for awhile and it's a waste of time if your not getting the right temperature. So, I would diffantely keep going to your salon as long as I can. Thank you!Sincerly, Jennifer

Love the spray tan!!! Thanks Linda..

I was driving towards Hurricane to have lunch with my boyfriend. I had a hour to spare, So I was gonna tan at the Electric Beach, because I knew it was open there a long time ago. They were closed, I drove there to see if you were open not only to find out you open at 9, I found out your beds were awesome!!! I layed in the High Power 200 Watt Lamp, for only 10 minutes, and just $10.00.... You cant beat that! When I was tanning I felt like I was flying in the sky on a space ship or something! It is very big and very powerful! I was very pleased that I had tanned there at Sahara Tanning, and I will be driving from South Charleston just to lay in the power bed for ten minutes! Thank You for the great tan! =)Thanks Stacy for the wonderful compliment!!

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.

I absolutely love your tanning salon, it is always clean and the staff are so friendly and helpful- i drive there from charleston when i can, which isnt very often. I vote you get a third location :) Thank you! Megan

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.

Sahara tanning is the best tanning salon I have ever been too and I have been to alot of them through the years, the beds and the salon is always spotless, the people who work for Sahara are very nice I have been going to Sahara for years, probably ever since they opened and I have never had a complaint, I always get great service and always get a friendly greeting, I would give it as many stars as they could possibly get.

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.
