If you're looking for a top-notch tanning experience, I highly recommend iTan Hillcrest! They offer both spray and bed tan options, catering to different preferences and skin types. I've found their spray tans to be particularly impressive, with a natural bronze finish that lasted longer than any other spray tan I’ve tried in the past! I also tried out a bed tan. The beds they have to offer are the newest models in the industry and are state of the art in design and advanced bulb technology. The bed was sanitized and well-maintained, providing a safe and comfortable environment.What truly stood out at iTan Hillcrest was the exceptional customer service. The staff at the front desk greeted me as I walked in and were friendly, knowledgeable & assisted with questions I had about the tanning process, available packages and membership benefits. They also assisted me with choosing the best lotion & skin care products according to my desired results. I was very impressed with my experience from start to finish!The assistant manager, Chloe gave me a quick tour, showed me to my room, and provided a detailed explanation of how to operate the machine and guided me through the tanning process & also offered to be of assistance if needed at any time before, during or after my session.Overall, iTan Hillcrest is a great choice for anyone seeking a quality tanning experience in a welcoming atmosphere, complemented by superb service from all of their dedicated employees. I give iTan a well-deserved 5-star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The manager here was kind, helpful and informative with helping me get a refund after a mistake was made under one of her employees. Thank you very much for helping get things squared away.

I came in the last week of October, I believe 2 blonde women were working. What absolute sweethearts. They were so nice and friendly. Love this location.

Excellent service, phenomenal staff - a special shout out to Bailey! I can't say good enough things about this place. It's changed my life. I'm middle eastern and need a lot of UV light therapy just to maintain my natural, optimal health. This place has given me my strength back after several years of feeling sick and lethargic. I never burn because that is damaging and carcinogenic. I take cod liver oil and bioastin, which enhances my resistance to UV stressors on my skin. If you feel constantly tired and need a natural source of energy. This is the place to come to.I'm a licensed massage therapist and physiologist.

Stephanie at Itan Hillcrest is a gem! 💎I had a wonderful experience at Itan Hillcrest recently. Stephanie was incredibly sweet and attentive. Even though tanning isn't a necessity, it's something that brings me joy. Stephanie made me feel valued and heard, which is rare in customer service these days.She offered great recommendations, asked if I needed a robe, and genuinely seemed to care about my experience. Stephanie is the kind of person the world needs more of!I highly recommend visiting Itan Hillcrest and asking for Stephanie. You won't be disappointed.

I had been to Itan Hillcrest many years ago and remembered how friendly the staff was. I’m going on vacation and wanted to get some sun before I went. There’s another Itan closer to me but I went back to Hillcrest. All the ladies there are so friendly and made me feel so welcomed. They made me feel like I was more than a customer and more like a friend. They answer your questions without hesitation, even when you ask the same questions more than once. I love going there for my tans and the wonderful ladies who work there. Thanks, Lynn

When I walked into this salon not sure what to expect I was greeted by a salon tech named TAYLOR. She was so friendly and accommodating.I did not feel that vibe like most salons that pushy trying to sell you the moon vibe. She was extremely knowledgeable with all of the products as well as tanning techniques that would fit my skin tones etc…It actually felt like we were family. I would actually recommend this salon over any other I’ve gone to in. Very long time. Go Team Taylor

The amazing women at this particular location, walked me though, gave me advise and hints, and just were the sweetest!! They made me feel so comfortable! Manager should give them a celebratory free lunch or something for how hard they work! Lol! Thank you !

I have never gotten a spray tan in my life and when I walked in I was welcomed with the most warm hearted, caring young women! You ladies are literal ANGELS!! I love my tan but honestly I love the fact that these girls were all so extremely helpful and kind! I asked so many annoying questions and asked for them to repeat everything a thousand times and they did not make me feel stupid at all LOL. Hands down the BEST customer service I’ve ever had! These girls deserve a raise ! Anita, Adrina, and Jade ! My ANGELS

They are open the latest 10 pm.That's perfect unlike the other itans. Keep in mind that u can't use the hydration station or the body fit wrap after like 7 pm, but still better than others that close earlier.I used the baby soft mask tonight the girls recommended at $16. It's worth it , and u can save it for next time to get the most out of your itan experience.I liked the Versa 4 step for self tanning. And the photo facial is great for wrinkles.All in all the package of unlimited everything is the best package. And I've referred friends and I got $25 bonus bucks and they get 1 free week to see if this is a good fit for them . Rachel Madrid

I usually come in the afternoon but lately I come in around 7-8pm, Jade always has a smile, positive attitude, and has sold me a few products. She's also is a great sales person. I would hire her if I needed a spokesperson for my business. Great personality. 5 STARS

Came in mothers day around 2pm. The young ladies were great saleswomen, and very educated in spray tanning. I started with a spray tan and can't appreciate Itan enough for the wonderful free tan to moms. I likely will not proceed with a membership, so I wanted to leave a nice comment.The tan came out great, and still looks the same as when I got it. One thing I wish tanning machines had, was an option to not spray the face. People with more mature skin typically use make up as it seeps into wrinkles and defines them more. Other than this tiny con, my experience was 5 star :)

I used to have a membership at this location & I stopped mostly because I didn’t feel appreciated. I came back after about 8 months and I can’t even tell you how awesome it is with this group of young ladies. Justine the manager is perfection & should be cloned for the natural & effortlessly way she works with the clients and coworkers. I’ve been in retail over 20 years & it takes a lot to impress me but Itan Hillcrest does... oh yea and I’m dark af 🤗
