User Reviews for Studio Tan

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I would highly recommend Studio Tan to everyone in the area. The salon is beautifully decorated with a great atmosphere and always clean. They have the largest selection of tanning lotions that I have ever seen. Never have I felt pushed into purchasing lotion however always do as the staff is very knowledgeable in explaining the benefits to me. The beds are extremely affordable for the quality you are receiving. The bulbs are changed on a very regular basis. The airbrush tanning is also wonderful and will make you feel great for any special event!

Pros: affordable, quality equipment, friendly staff

This place is beyond disgusting. I have never actually taken the time to write a review on any business, but made it a priorty to put my experience at Studio Tan in writing. The place is pure trash and former reviews are 100% accurate with regards to the pushy clerks (both of whom are part owners) trying to push lotion. In fact, they start to upsell the lotion while spraying you in a shady room in the back. Further, the machine they use to spray your entire body is literally an AIR BRUSH (the size of a pen). I would suggest ANY other place in the area (Solar Planet, Body Glow, Tropical MN) over this absolute hole in the wall. Oh and also be warned of their shady pricing where they add on tax and expect a tip on top of that.

I completely disagree with the last two reviews. I have been going there for almost 5 years now and have had nothing but great experiences there. I tan as well as do the custom spray tanning on a regular basis. I did the airbrush tan for my wedding and it looked absolutely flawless!!! I had a few tan lines and they were gone in minutes! They never pushed anything on me, they just suggested the best products to keep my tan looking great! I noticed a huge difference when I used the suggested product versus not using it. They have product to fit everyone and everyones budget. All of the staff including the owner are very personable as well as knowledgable. The atmosphere is also very warm and inviting, everytime I go there I feel like I am welcome. I recommend this salon to all of my friends and to everyone out there. If you want great service, great beds and a flawless tan then go here!!! I say take the chance and try it!

Pros: Great beds, service, products, and personalized spray tanning experts!

Cons: NONE

I have been tanning at Studio Tan and other tanning salons for awhile and i do have to agree that they are very pushy and make you feel less important if you do not buy lotion i also had a bad experiance with spray tanning i heard they were one of the best but that is not what i got my tan was blotchy and very uneven i would not suggest this tanning salon to anyone

Was in a hurry and even though past reviews (which are suspisiously missing today) gave them bad reviews - it was the closest to my house. But like those missing bad reviews I agree that they are not nice and are very pushy and somewhat 'fake' in their attitudes. If you do not buy much they become snobbish and have little time for you. Found a better place just down the street - try that.

My experience with Studio Tan has been completely opposite of the last reviewer. Never once was I told by any gals at the counter or the owner in particular that I needed to buy lotion. How ridiculous!! In fact compared to some other places I've been, my experiences there have been really exceptional actually. I've always been greated with a smile. The place is absolutely spotless. Prices are LESS than most others in town. Her bulbs are awesome. And regarding spray tanning, I think I read that Jill is THE top airbrush tan applicator in the Twin Cities bar none. I think its the best place in Hopkins to get a tan to be honest. I really like the place. Highly recommended.

The spray tan is one of the best services out there. Jill hand sprayed me for many events and I have truly been happy with the results! I would highly reccommend the spray tan to anyone who needs a healthy tan. I also alternate with the Sun Star bed to keep a good base and always found the beds to be clean and bulbs to be hot. I have always found the atmosphere to be very up beat and the staff has always been friendly and accomodating. I have never had a bad experience with Sudio Tan & I have been a client there for the past 8 years. I always reccommend the salon to everyone I know!

Pros: Friendly staff, Great Location, Ample Parking & Great Services

Cons: None!
