All of the other reviews for Island Tan really seem to sum the place up. I was extremely satisfied, as it sounds like everyone else was. I just wanted to add my two cents worth in. I am 8 months pregnant and have a July 4th party to go to with my husband at Lake Murray. It is with ALL of the employees at the HUGE company that he works for here in Columbia. Okay, getting the visual in your head yet of a real pregnant, pale, bloated, not so "happy camper" in a swim suit in the heat all day? Yes, that would be me! So, I asked my OB-GYN if I could fake bake it...ofcourse he said no. He actually recommended that I go get a Sunless Tan, and even had a business card for Island Tan. I got it this morning, took the 6-hour-later shower just now, and it looks great. It looks so good that I cried when I put my swim suit on, because now I feel like I can go to the party, relax, have fun, and feel pretty. Oh great, i'm crying again! Anyway, if you are skeptical about getting a Spray tan, don't be. It is safe and looks exactly like a real outside tan. The spray-girl was real helpful and sweet and made me feel at home. I think i'll do it again the next time I have to put on a bathing suit for a party, it makes you feel so much better.
Pros: Safe, fast, realistic

My best friend convinced me to get a Spray Tan with her yesterday, against my better judgement. I am a red head, with freckles, and milky white skin. It would take me 2 months of every-other-day tanning, in the tanning bed, to build a base tan. To get a base tan with the real sun outside, forget-about-it, I would just be bed ridden for a week with a painful burn, then peel, then tons of regrets! Everybody wants beautiful tanned skin, and I have, too many times in the past fallen victim to the latest and (supposedly) greatest bronzer products at the drugstores that claim to be streak-free, flawless, easy-to-use, etc. They never are!! Why? Why do they have to lie??? So, needless to say, I was pretty nervous about having yet another bad experience with a weeks worth of orange-streaked skin. We got our tans sprayed on at Island Tan, and were told to wait 6 hours to shower. I thought "Oh, Lord, what will I look like in 6 hours? A Pumpkin? LOL". After the 6 hours were up, I showered, and now I am a Sun-Bronzed-Goddess!! It looks like I went to the beach. I was a total disbeliever in the possibility of ever having a tan again, but now I can wear shorts, go to the river with my friends, and they won't get to make jokes about my legs "blinding them". Oh, and if they ever read this, (and they'll know who they are) thanks for thinking that that joke never gets old! Thanks IslandTan for the awesome tan! I will be back, and will tell all of my friends about you.
Pros: I went from Paste white to Sun Bronzed Goddess in less than 10 minutes! YAY!!
Cons: I wish I had known about this place a long time ago.
