Was quite hesitant to try the spray tanning due to horror stories I have read. Wanted a tan immediately due to the holiday weekend and chose to try. They explained everything very thoroughly and made me feel at ease. Didn't notice a difference and they said it was normal. It would take up to 8 hours. I'm worrying this the next morning and I'm in love with my color! No orange. Just a beautiful tan! I do enjoy the tanning beds, so I became a member and will try that next week!

Such a sweet and personable team which makes for a true enjoyable experience! They are there to answer any questions and give advise on what products to use, especially how to be kind to your skin! If you are like me and don't have time to lay out and get a summer tan, this is the place for you. They can fit any busy schedule that you may have. Looking forward to being a loyal customer with them!

I love Jill's Beach! When I decided to start tanning again, I had the pleasure of speaking with Angie at the Raleigh location. She was so sweet, so helpful, and she went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience possible! She made the entire process seamless! Then there's Kristina - I can't even begin to say enough nice things about her!
She's a total rockstar & one of the best people you could ever meet! Truthfully, everyone who works at Jill's Beach is incredible! Everyone always goes above and beyond to make sure customers feel welcome & have the best experience. You won't find a better group of people! I highly recommend Jill's Beach! Best tanning beds, best products, best staff, and always the best experience!

This place is fantastic! I have never been taken care of as well as I was inside this fine establishment. Place is very CLEAN!The manager, I believe her name was Rebekah Hutchins, was the most helpful person. I don't go to tanning often but I will come here more often just for their service. I can in very white and I left tan and tasty. Thank you!

I've been using Jill's Beach in Cary, NC for over a year and I've never had a problem getting a tan. The people reviewing this and say they don't get tan must be expecting one visit and turn dark brown. It doesn't work that way folks. Jill's Beach's staff is definitely knowledgeable and yes, they do follow corporate guidelines SO YOU DON'T BURN!
I will come in when I want a tan to go on a cruise or a week at the beach or something like that, so I start about 2 months before. I get a solid base after the first month coming 2-3 times a week. The 2nd month is when I get really dark. So dark tanned once my wife told me to ease up going because I was getting too tan! If you're in the Raleigh area, take the extra few minutes and go to Cary. It's worth it.

Jill's Beach is the place to go for a great tan (tanning bed or spray tan). ALL the staff at Jill's Beach have always been a pleasure to work with. The staff are very professional, personable and work with you regardless of what your needs are. Let's just say an unexpected incident occurred in my personal life & the staff at Jill's went above & beyond to make sure I could still tan & 7 weeks later they still frequently check on my status. Great customer service & I would highly recommend Jill's Beach. Jenny

I owned and operated a 10 bed, top notch, state of the art tanning salon for years. I researched this place out and they're the best in this area. Not only do they know their beds but they're safe! Wouldn't let me go up in time too fast and I never burned once. Anyone can find something wrong with any business and say negative things but this company shines above the rest. In my opinion they set the bar in this area! I will not go anywhere else ever. No need to look further. Kelly W.

Complete rip-off! Don't expect to get a tan but DO expect to get ripped-off. They sell packages but then limit your time to just a few minutes.result-no tan for you and increased profits for them. AND, your visits expire! What? How can a visit expire? Bread expires, eggs expire, coupons (that you don't pay for) expire. My "package" was a gift which by the way, seemed to confuse the inept staff even more. Needless to say, I was very surprised when they informed me that the 4 visits left on my account had "expired". Save your money, deal with knowledgeable staff and get a nice tan-SOMEWHERE ELSE!

I LOVE Jill's Beach! I have been tanning at Jill's Beach since 2010, if not longer! I do not have not one negative thing to say about this company! No matter which Salon I go to, the Tanning Consultants are very knowledgeable, friendly, personable and always greeted with a SMILE. You can not ask for any better service. Always TOP notch! I LOVE getting my glow on Jill's Beach!

SCAM ALERT! Jills Beach has been reported to the Better Business Bureau! Don't waste your money. The first two levels of tanning beds are a sham. On my first visit, I told them that my yellow/olive skin didn't burn and tanned quickly. I bought the "package" they recommended. After 2 visits, there was absolutely NO sign of any skin color change.
I spoke with the manager who stated "that they had started me too low, and told me to try the next level, that I would definitely see the difference." Trusting this, I again bought ANOTHER package. After 2 MORE visits, I called and asked for the manager. I was told the main manager was out of town. I explained to a lower manager I was disturbed that their bulbs were something of a scam.
I asked for a refund or to try one more level to see if that also was a scam. The conversation was comical and I let her talk on and on about "I wasn't purchasing the right suntan enhancer ($45)!, and that these lights "didn't give color, just melanin". I was rolling on the floor and couldn't take the nonsense anymore when I informed her that I was a Doctor!
She had accused me of "wanting a freebie!". what a dumbass. I never went back for the $4.00 refund. all they would offer me! I wouldn't go there. What a racket they have going on

I have been tanning for a long time, and, yes, it is not the best thing for you, but it makes me feel better about myself. I have tried multiple salons, and this one is my favorite. The staff greet you with a big smile, and are very friendly. The also know the difference between UVA and UVB tanning options. The beds are fairly new, and the bulbs are changed on a regular basis.
There may be a wait time during the busy season, but staff are quick to clean the beds and move people in and out. The salon is clean, and the cooling system is great. I am very pleased with this whole experience.

I come here for Vitamin D beds, not necessarily to get tan. The staff is actually aware of which bed offers UVB vs UVA. Many other tanning salons don't understand this and staff will look at you dumbfounded. Staff here seem knowledgeable and trained on the benefits of each type of bed and on which days provide the most Vitamin D. The place is spotless and luxurious.

Cute salon, but that's where it stops for me. If I go to a tanning salon, I'd expect to actually get tan. Allow me to explain. I'm naturally tan and my skin type is a 4-5, meaning I never burn and usually get a dark, golden tan.with proper exposure. All I felt like I got from Jill's was a lighter wallet. My thought is that the "no burn policy" is in place to contribute to their bottom line $$$, rather than out of concern for their customer base.
I used to work at a high end tanning salon with over 20 beds and would never short customers on tan time unless their was a legitimate health concern. Someone who is properly trained and certified knows skin types vs. tan times. When I'm naturally tan and only "allowed" to move up 1 minute each visit, it's clear I'm being taken advantage of as a customer.
Especially when someone like me, who only needs to purchase sessions instead of unlimited tanning, doesn't get to maximize those visits. 6 minutes in a 12 minute bed? Yikes. I have already taken my business elsewhere and am much happier. I recommend others do the same. TL;DR.former tanning salon employee (different salon) with skin type 4-5 feels ripped off by Jill's "no burn policy"

IF YOU ARE A NEW TANNER: Please stick with the Sun Angel. Its revolutionary and guaranteed not to burn you. SPECIAL TIP: Be honest with your Customer Service Representative and she/he will give you the very best advice to achieve your tanning goal. It's true they are always making recommendations, but its good advice and they are experts. With that being said, I rather enjoy hearing about their new products.
It is not necessarily that they expect you to buy, yet I see it as their entire staff being well educated in the products they carry, which is a universally acknowledged demonstration of proper training and employee competence. When I first started going, I went at the same time on the same day and I got the same person each time. Because she knew so much, I mistook her for the owner.
As I kept going, I found that they are all trained in that way. Thanks guys for keeping a great stock of lotions and other potions. The staff and customer service alone would reward a 5 star rating for this place. They are so thoughtful and kind. Inside, it looks like what a futuristic tanning salon would look like to me back in the 90's. The sun angel, is Guaranteed to never burn you, regardless of it is your first time in the tanning bed. if you are WHITE as a ghost, it still won' burn you.
The 500 is 12 mins and intense tanning. I have never had a richer brown than after getting in the 500. The 500 is not for new tanners. Their unlimited FULL ACCESS plan allows you to get in any bed you want or spray tanned as often as you like for around $80 per month. Every time I call for an appointment, they find time that works for me. The bathroom is elegant black and white, with pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. I have been to some amazing salons across the country, but the customer service is unmatched to Jill's Beach.

I had never gotten a spray tan before, but wanted to try it before a wedding in a couple months. I have tanned before but know it's bad for me; however, I am VERY pale and was nervous to look unnatural/orange from spray tanning. I found a spray tan groupon for Jill's Beach so thought I;d try it. Overall impression of spray tans - impressed! Jill's Tan - pretty good.
I heard they can go bad but they spray tan worked great, I don't look unnatural and it was pretty even. They give tips to avoid streaks and provide lotion in the room. The machine is easy to use and quick - in and out in 20 minutes. The staff is nice and knowledgeable. they do try to upsell you, but to be expected at any tanning salon. They definitely follow corporate policy to a tee and make no exceptions so don;t expect any accommodations or great deals; however, all-in-all, good experience. I am still nervous to try other spray tans that make be too dark/too orange/streaky, etc. so will stick with Jill's Beach.

The worst tanning salon I have ever been to. High pressure sales of products (every time you go in there) and rude and condescending "young girls" who have no idea how to treat people in a way that makes them want to come back. I was treated so poorly that although I have 2 tans left - I would die before I walked into their place again.
