This salon is so amazing. Every time I come in the cute girls at the front desk are always so welcoming and always ask how I am. I love coming in to tan and get my hair/nails done not just because the services are great but because of how I am treated every time. I highly recommend. 👍

Everything is clean, fresh, and well kept, which really matters to me. The employees are some of the nicest people I've met.

A disappointing first impression from start to finish. I don’t typically leave negative reviews. I prefer to give businesses the benefit of the doubt, and I understand that no establishment is perfect. However, my experience at Silver Lining was disappointing enough that I feel it is worth sharing, both for the company’s awareness and for prospective customers who may be considering a membership. I stopped by about a week ago to inquire about tanning packages and memberships. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable from the moment I walked through the door. There were three employees behind the front desk, and while they greeted me, the interaction felt noticeably forced rather than genuinely welcoming. It was an odd first impression, to say the least. What concerned me more, however, was the lack of professionalism I witnessed while standing at the counter. An older employee with brown hair and false eyelashes made a comment about a woman who had just left, stating that she was gaining weight and needed to go on Ozempic. The comment was made loudly enough that customers nearby could potentially hear it. I found this incredibly inappropriate. Discussing a customer's appearance and making unsolicited comments about their weight or potential use of prescription medication is unacceptable in any customer-facing environment. Clients should be able to walk into a business without wondering whether they will become the subject of similar commentary the moment they leave. Unfortunately, that was not the end of it. While another employee was explaining the membership options to me, I could hear the same employee and a colleague openly complaining about other members of their staff, criticizing their work and expressing frustration with their coworkers. Everyone has difficult days, and workplace frustrations are understandable. Broadcasting those frustrations within earshot of customers, however, demonstrates a concerning lack of judgment. A business that wants to cultivate a welcoming atmosphere and build customer loyalty should understand that professionalism extends well beyond the initial greeting. I was then offered a tour of the tanning beds. Since I was short on time, I was shown only a couple of rooms. Unfortunately, the condition of the first bed was enough to leave a lasting impression — and not a positive one. The surface had visible handprints, the touch screen was covered in fingerprints, and the bed itself had what appeared to be distinct body and buttock impressions. This was not a minor issue involving a few residual lotion marks. The bed looked visibly unclean, and I was genuinely surprised that it was being presented to a prospective customer as part of a sales tour. In a business where hygiene and sanitation should be fundamental expectations, cleanliness is not an optional extra. It is the bare minimum. By this point, I was ready to leave. As I made my way out, the employees behind the counter began calling their goodbyes in a way that felt unusually loud and competitive, as though they were more concerned with being the first or loudest person to say goodbye than with providing a sincere, professional farewell. The interaction was so strange that it left me feeling uncomfortable rather than welcomed. What makes this experience particularly disappointing is that none of these issues were especially difficult to avoid. A little discretion, basic courtesy, and attention to cleanliness would have made an enormous difference. Silver Lining may offer tanning packages and memberships, but a successful business is built on far more than its services and pricing. It requires a clean environment, employees who exercise discretion, and a culture that makes customers feel respected. Unfortunately, I did not see those qualities reflected during my visit.

Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago

Hello Kenzie, we are so sorry to hear you had a bad experience in our salon. Silver Lining takes pride in our excellent customer service, cleanliness, and ensuring our customers feel comfortable. We take feedback very seriously, and even go as far as to check the cameras and audio to verify information. The girls are trained to be professional, always kind, and to greet people when they come in and say goodbye when they leave. If I know that one of my employees is acting this way, I will let them go immediately because I will not have customers feeling uncomfortable. Will you contact me at [email protected]? I would love to make a better impression and help you with whatever tanning needs you may have.

They were so nice and helpful because it was my first time tanning. They showed me exactly what I needed to do and how to use the bed and they made the experience very personalized to me.
