Blotched Spray

by Mandee81

I came in during a visit to Boston wanting to get a spray-tan. I was ignored in the beginning by the man at the desk. All he was doing was folding towels and I was the only one in the place. Then, after someone had helped me in a spray plan (which at the time I thought was a good idea) I went into the booth. Another female employee came in and sprayed me down. About 2 hours later my color finally started to develop, only to show lots of blotches. I know I exfoliated correctly since I was beat red when I was done. it took almost a week for the tan to finally fade, and the dark spots I had to use lemon juice on numerous times.

Needless to say, I do not support the "Best of Boston" review that I read...

RACHEL THE MANAGER IS RUDE AND DOES NOT LISTEN

by Kkrina

Hi,

I used this tan service because of the comments that I found on this site. However, I found that many times my sprays were uneven. I was referred to the manager Rachel who was rude and unhelpful. She did not listen to me but interjected with comments like perhaps I had dry skin or did not wait long enough before showering. I was surprised since the staff was very friendly and she was so unhelpful. I would not recommend visiting this place.

• Pros: Staff was nice
• Cons: Rachel was insensitive, rude and unhelpful.

Great beds and stand ups plus gorgeous staff

by bobbym777

Perfect Tan is the best tanning salon I have been to in and out of Boston. Their prices are very reasonable. They care about their customers and make sure you are fully informed of the best way to achieve your desired look. I have yet to do the Air\brush but I have seen it done and it looks absolutely incredible. Very natural and gives you a beautiful glow. The staff is not only friendly and well educated but the girls are very attractive as well as the boy who works there. I would recommend Perfect Tan over Darque Tan, Campus Tan, and Newbury Tans ANYday. Go check it out!

• Pros: Lamps changed often, pretty/friendly staff
• Cons: Gets a little busy during the school year but definitely worth the wait.. plus you can always upgrade!

Great tan - Priced right

by k123

I went to Darque Tan first and decided that their tanning salon definetly wasn't for me, so based on the greatt reviews I headed to Perfect Tan. I found I wasn't disappointed. They woman who signed me up wasn't pushy at all and didn't push any products at me. I would definetly recommend Perfect Tan.

Great natural looking Mystic Tan

by eliza_j

I go to Perfect Tan every year for the spray tan. It comes out looking really good and very natural. You have a choice of whether or not to have the bronzer applied. Using the bronzer does give you a slightly orange cast, but you get darker quicker. I've been going for the past five years, and have been very pleased with the cleanliness, the courtesy of the staff and the attractiveness of the shop in general. The only downside is that it's not the easiest area in which to find a parking space.

• Pros: Service cleanliness
• Cons: Parking

Get the "Perfect Tan" at Perfect tan

by bk1234

I've never heard of getting an unlimited tanning package for just $18.95. I always do a two month package, and it doesn't damage my wallet. Located just across the street from the Babcock St. T-stop on the B line it is very easy to get to. Everytime I walk in to the salon I'm immediately greeted with a smile and seen to as fast as possible. From the day I started tanning here I knew it was a great place. The owners are present much of the time and talk to you as if they've known you forever. The staff is very knowledgeable and are always willing to help you out with choosing the right tanning bed or even the right lotion. The facility is very clean and the beds are always cleaned twice before each use. The salon just recently upgraded many of their beds, and they always maintain the bulbs as needed. If you haven't been you must go. Try it once and you'll be hooked on the Perfect Tan.

A great tan at a low price!

by seswoff

As a college student it can be hard to afford a small luxury such as tanning in an expensive city like Boston, however, Perfect Tan has made it possible for college students to get a great tan at low costs. I have been tanning for over 4 years now and have encountered salons who have sky high prices and terrible beds. When I first came to Perfect Tan, I had no idea what to expect but it quickly became my top choice for tanning salons. Not only do they have great prices but they also change their bulbs very often. This I have learned is very unusual. When tanning at salons where I am from I have always noticed that it would take me a very long time to build a tan and I always thought it was just because of my skin type. Turns out it is because some salons wait forever to change their bulbs. Perfect Tan does not. They are always changing the bullbs in the beds to make sure their customers get the best tan possible. I was surprised when I first started tanning at Perfect Tan and I noticed color almost immediatly. Within two weeks I was significantly darker than I had ever expected. I am very happy with the results I have seen from tanning at Perfect Tan and would highly recommend this salon to everyone in the Boston area.

• Pros: Great at Sunless Tanning( Airbrush Tan), VERY attractive staff!!

all new equipment

by rtfoster

When I returned from my christmas vacation I was impressed to find that all the equipment was new. I've been going to Perfect Tan for about a year and enjoying their monthly rate, $19.00, which is the lowest I've found considering all the hiden fees at other places. The environment is relaxed and happy, the girls are friendly and smart, and the whole salon is clean and bright. This is the only place that I've gone in Boston where I always get results on my first visit. When I decided to do an airbrush tan for new year's I was a bit nervous but the staff was very helpful when answering my questions, and the girl that sprayed me, made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Not to mention the results were so natural, I think I'm addicted... Keep up the good work Perfect Tan, I'm hooked.

• Pros: All the beds are new
• Cons: sometimes there's a line in the afternoon, so just go early in the day
