    Misleading information given when signing up. They said as a guest of VIP that you would have access to lay down beds only. They did not say that there is only one lay down bed that you can use, and it was very outdated. When I requested another bed they said that I would have to pay more. The bed that was available was terrible and I could not get my money back. I totally want to warn others not to use this business.

    I have to agree with most of these other reviews and say that their customer service is obsolete. I had an issue that could have totally been avoided or remedied very easily, but the so called manager was definitely not trained in any type of customer service! I honestly cant even believe that they are still in business! I tried reaching out to their corporate office, but it was all just a joke! They dont seem to care if they keep losing customers.

    Ive been a loyal customer of ********************** since 2018, but my recent experience has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. I requested to freeze my account in person in early April, only to be informed later that the only way to freeze my account is through an online form, which was not communicated to me during my visit.When I attempted to access this form online, it was unavailable, and the guidance I received was to try again tomorrow. Despite my repeated attempts to resolve this issue, I was still charged for *** and June. The responses I received from customer support were automated, tone-deaf, and failed to address my concerns.Now, they are planning to bill me again for July, despite my clear request to freeze the account. It seems that Totally Tans approach is to make it difficult for customers to manage their memberships, which is an unacceptable way to treat loyal customers.To anyone considering **********************, be aware that their customer service is severely lacking, and their processes are designed to make it difficult for customers to freeze or cancel their memberships. I am now disputing these charges with my bank and will not be returning to Totally Tan.

    READ THE FINE PRINT and do not believe what AN EMPLOYEE in store tells you about anything regarding cancelling your membership because Totally Tan apparently does not adequately train their employees on their strict cancellation guidelines. I am at fault for not reading the fine print more carefully, but I assumed an employee would have given me the correct information, but I was wrong. Their customer service is bad. Automated..robot-like, and it seems that I am definitely not the only one with this experience.

    I paid for, what I was led to believe, was a 1 per month spray tan membership. A spray tan outright is $40 and I have been paying $35 per month as a membership. If it isn't used within the month, ITS GONE!!! That's right, I've paid well over $600 in one year thinking I had enough tans built up to cover my summer. I have TWO!!! Customer phone service was rude with poor English and there was NO follow up!! I, therefore, emailed them only to be told I'm basically screwed. This is disgusting and I feel financially violated. Shameful company.

    Terrible customer service. They do not work with their customers on anything and only stand by "the policy" even in situations where other companies would work with customers to keep the customer happy. I have wasted too much money and time with this company. I would recommend anyone trying to find a tanning salon never use this company. I have money built up from my account frozen and unfortunately I am not able to tan anymore so I asked customer service if I could use that money on products and then cancel my membership. They told me I had to active my account in order to use that money. So I have to send $79 to active my account in order to use my money built up on products in their store, but because I can not ******** still wasting money to active the account. This company should work with people to use their built up money on products even if their account is frozen (I know other tanning salons do that for their customers). Now I am out that money because I canceled my account which forfeits my money. This company will keep failing if they do not change the customer service "policy".

    A SCAM! I entered the Monticello Totally Tan on about 01/03/24 and explained I only wanted a one month membership as I was only trying to prevent sunburn on my upcoming vacation on 02/03/24. he manager explained the options and told me I would need to wait until the 20th of the month to cancel my membership. Today, 01/22/24, I went into the store and told the person behind the desk I wanted to cancel my membership. She explained my membership would run through March as it was after the 20th. I explained what I had been told by ******* and after getting nowhere with her I asked to speak to the manager. She said, "I'm the only one here." Interesting as ******* walked into the lobby about 30 seconds later. I asked the first employee why she told me she was the only one here. She replied, "she was on break and technically not here." *******'s only response to my problem was "that is our policy, you can contact guest services." She also informed me that in addition to the monthly fee for March, there would be a "$25 annual fee." She gave me a business card for guest services. ***** services only response was this is our policy. What a racket!

    The worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I was a member for years and my monthly payment was automatically withdrawn. I lost my debit card and over the weekend my card was turned off until I could get a new card on Monday. A few days later I went to tan and was told I couldnt because my card was declined. I explained what happened and could now pay with my new card. They charged me an extra ***** and when I questioned that the girl told me to call ***** Services and they would reimburse me. I called and they would not. Even after I explained why my card was deactivated due to it being lost. The customer service person, ****, lacks customer service skills. Instead of reimbursing my *****, which any company would due to not lose a good customer, they lost out on getting the ****** I pay annually. Totally Tan should take down the sign in their lobby stating they offer unsurpassed customer service as they lack any at all. I will say that the staff in the shops were always great.

    ************************* signed the Monthly Membership terms and agreements form. This exact form is sent via email supplied by guest, upon them signing and electronically agreeing to all terms and policies. The document was electronically signed and accepted on January 29, 2023. There are no hidden charges as the signed Monthly membership agreement states above electronic required acceptance signature that, I understand that I am in full control of my payment. If at any time I decide to discontinue this form of payment, I will simply submit an online cancellation request form at totallytanspa.com by the 20th of the month prior to my billing due date, which is the 1st for all club members. ***** submitted a request to cancel on February 26, 2023, after the 20th of the month prior to billing due date and was notified of such and availability to membership until March 31, 2023. On March 3, 2023, a cancellation confirmation email was sent to the guest stating the above facts, usage until March 31. Charges are as follows. January 29, 2023, ************************* joins ************ Monthly Membership, pays required enrollment fee of $29 and the first months dues of $49.95 + tax. Then as stated on signed membership agreement on February 1, 2023, a prorated amount of $4.83 + tax was paid, and over $150 worth of services were utilized by guest. March 1, 2023, guest is drafted ************ membership dues of $49.95 + tax, and as stated in Section K. of signed agreement, $25 Annual Facility Fee will be charged on the second auto-draft & then annually, same month of sign up. The guest is currently using ************ Membership and will have access to services until March 31, 2023, as stated in the Cancellation confirmation email.

    Poor customer service, I will never go back. Details of the membership were not fully explained to me when I signed up, but I was told a copy would be emailed to me. When I tried to cancel the membership, which was 1 day after I saw that I was charged for the new month, but I had only had the monthly membership less than 3wks-they refused to do so and were not willing to work with me at all. They told me I was in the wrong because all of this was in the membership contract sent to me. After 15 minutes of discussing it, I asked them to resend it to me and it turned out they didn't have an email on file for me so no form was ever sent. They still refused to admit to being in the wrong, they never apologized and refused to refund me. 2 weeks later, still no form. I had to call back and the customer agent inputted the wrong email.I can see why their rating on BBB is so low and honestly, they don't care. Bad customer service = no customers.

    June 9, 2022, *************** completed the Monthly Membership agreement to customize their needs to meet their unique usage. The client selected the ************** Membership, $69.95 + tax, to be billed once a month on the first. The amount of $51.30 + tax processed on July 1, 2022, is the pro-rated payment for the second month of the membership. Emails are provided by client, once a valid email was submitted a copy of the Monthly Membership agreement was sent to client. All membership information on how to Freeze or Cancel membership requests available on the companys website or ***** Services. Signed Monthly Membership agreements can also be requested at any time with valid email. Memberships can be changed and modified online but must be submitted before the 20th of the month before next billing cycle. Clients Membership cancellation was processed July 6, 2022, a cancellation confirmation email sent, and the client still has complete access to the membership until July 31, 2022. Client was able to use $140 worth of services the month of June 2022, if the same 3 sessions are used this month at minimum, it would be another $140 worth of services for only $51.30 + tax. All clients who sign the Monthly Membership agreement abide by these policies found on Membership agreement and on ***************************** website. There will be no further charges for this membership.

    I did not get a copy of the contractual agreement until 7/20/2022 and I was not made aware of the cancellation policy or understood the billing process until 7/06/2022 when I called ***************** When I signed up, the employee said a copy of the contract would be emailed to me and said I was all set. I did not know that the company did not have an email on file. I do not blame the employee that signed me up for not explaining the membership clearly, she's a kid. Also, the contract sent to me has old information so my home location and address hasn't been updated in their system since 2010. My complaint is that the company has poor customer service, told me I was at fault b/c I agreed to the contract and had all of the information regarding it and how to cancel my membership, b/c a copy had been emailed to me. However, that was not the case, b/c there was no email on file so I didn't get a copy of it until 7/20/2022.
