Tanning Spa

Fake and bake has ALWAYS freaked me out– but being a California native and having lived on a beach my whole life, I decided to check out the Tanning Spa just before I travelled to South America for a few weeks last year so I didn’t stand out as that gringa American when I was there.
I give this place three stars, well because it was everything you’d find in a tanning salon on the North Shore, or on the Jersey Shore; chetah carpet, flat screen TVs that always plays channels like MTV, E!, or VHI, and employees that just work there to get free tanning and are being paid at minimum wage (so they just don’t give a crap). I only went tanning for two weeks, but every third time I was there, an overly buff, orange man was walking out of a tanning bed with a cut off shirt and a tight pair of pants.
On a good note, they have headphones that are connected to the radio for each tanning bed. They also sell goggles for one dollar, because if you’re gonna fry the biggest organ in your body (your skin), you might as well protect your optical senses! And they have two stand up beds (which I prefer) and you can make an appointment to save them at the time you’re coming in. So… if you’re into this kinda thing, this place is worth a try b/​c it’s pretty clean and it’s pretty large. Just remember, if you fake and bake in the winter time, you’re fellow bostonians can tell because frankly, you just look 3 or 4 shades out of season!
