Yes, I live in Hawaii and I occasionally go to a tanning salon.  I don't go as much as I did when I lived in New Jersey(20 yrs).  Yeh, I admit- I was very "Jersey Shore-like".

I go to this salon when it's been months since I have been to the beach, I am pale, and don't want to burn.  I am Caucasian/Japanese, so I am pretty pale.

I bought the buy 3/get 1 free package for $49.31/Level 2.  I also buy the least expensive lotion, as it seems to condition your skin and hold the tan longer. I like the standup tanner best because it is a quick 10-mins and you don't get wierd spots on your butt, like with the liedown beds. I go 3 days in a row and then the last one the following week.  I have my tan back in no time, without the burn that I would have gotten if I just went straight into a beach/hiking day.

Not sure if a light bulb tan or chemicals absorbed into your skin(spray tan) is worse, but I don't care~ I look good tan.  :)

This is a good tanning salon- people are nice, it's clean, prices are reasonable, and you can get in and out quickly!

4/12/12: Used my credit to purchase stand-up tanning package.  When I went in the credit was under my name/account on the computer, so I needn't mention it. The employee was very nice & friendly- as they usually are.  They do get busy, so might want to check if bed is open before going.  I guess a lot more people tan then I thought. Right Right, myself included! I've bumped them up to 4-stars for rectifying prior poor-customer-service-experience (spary tan) because that's what 4-stars-ratings are about!  ;)

Update: As of 3/7/12: The owner, "Marc" emailed me in regards to my bad tan experience, & offered to credit "the value of the spray-tan" towards future service.  I think that is a nice gesture & taking the right step towards great Customer Service. So I've bumped my 1-star to 3-stars....keep you posted on next service.... =)
   
2/21/12: I have been going here for "touch ups" from bikini lines from sun here and there over the years. And let's state the obvious: it's almost 85degrees year round. I can't imagine people are THAT desperate to have a perfect tan when they hit the beach.  This last 1-2 years the times I have been, the staff is usually very friendly and puts the customer first. (-) However, I wanted to try the "spray tan" and the girl who did it (don't know her name) made me SO uncomfortable doing it (hello I'm the half-naked one!), and gave me such horrible lines!!!  It was so uneven, and sucked ALL moisture out of my skin for weeks! She had been spraying for a fitness competition that day she'd said, and had all the dye on the floor *ew*; she told me it would be so easy to get off my feet....such a LIE....it took weeks before I could get the icky brown junk off my hands and feet!!! It was SO *embarrassing* to go in public!

BUT, today I saw the deal to purchase the $30 certificate for $20, and *duh* didn't read the fine-print until after I purchased....for "new customers only".  Once I realized I called them asking if I might be able to use anyway....a definite NO came from "Mark" after he pulled up my account.  Even though today, with the certificate, I'd be purchasing an "unlimited" package for $100+ dollars.  So that's  30% off! Boo. I get it, I get it. It is my bad, but it was a bummer after he reviewed my account...he said I didn't came "often enough"....wait a second...isn't the whole point to try to get you to come more???  So if I'd gone regularly it should have been a "no", but the rare times over the years, isn't "enough"....how the heck does that make sense?! I'm not even sure I can get a refund now. =(  So  1-star for them for making me feel like crap and reviewing my account like I'm a "bad" customer!

Nice experience.
I came here to get a spray tan before the Navy Ball so my skin didn't glow along with my lime green dress. I was a little worried I would be orange (my friend kept singing the oompa loompa song) but I didn't! (yay!). The lady working there was very knowledgeable and professional. She applied my tan quickly and efficiently.
The only thing I didn't like was that finding it was a little annoying if you aren't very familiar with the areas but I had eventually found it obviously. Also, in the light of the ballroom, I looked orange in my pictures :( I looked fine everywhere else though and I looked fantastic when I went to Cirque du Soleil the next day :D

I live in Hawai, but don't often have time to lie out for hours to get my bronze on. I stumbled upon Sun Splash and I must admit, I am so happy I did. Tracy is amazing, such a doll, but also super helpful, knowledgable, and professional. The one time I had a problem in a bed (super minor!) it was addressed quickly and offered a free upgrade in return. They are pricey (but, I am from California, so Im used to a different price point) but their professionalism and kindness makes it all worth it!

I grew up in Hawaii but live full time in SF where I basically stay covered up and get no sun.  This is nice for my super pale skin (because I love that look) but gets rather annoying when I come back to Hawaii and have to stay covered with long sleeves and a hat constantly.  

I've used tanning beds before at sunsplash with pretty good results.  Being super pale, the beds always burned me even on the lowest level and this discouraged me from continuing.

Yesterday, however, I decided to go in and try a spray tan.  What a fun decision!  Tracy (staff memeber) was awesome--very professional and nice.  She made me feel comfortable and explained everything I needed to know about sunless tanning.  She even called me the next morning so see if I was satisfied with the results.  It was a bit expensive, but I think paying for a staff member to spray you down (instead of a machine) is worth the extra cash, no streaks here.

Last night I looked like Aunt Jemima, because you have to leave on an external bronzer as the tan sets in for 6 hours, but this morning I just look super naturally tan without all the freckles, I love it!  Definitely going back in a few weeks : )
