After months of hospital treatment

After months of hospital treatment, I was given the all clear to go on holiday before my next operation in June. I visited my local branch who informed me my 96 minutes had expired the day before. Had I known it was when you bought the minutes package not the last time you went on the sunbed, I would have contacted them to inform them. After contacting head office and being told by Erin there was nothing they could do as company policy states the don’t reinstate expired minutes. Even if they had met me half way I would have felt slightly better. Customer service is appalling and in future I will be using a different sunbed shop. Looking at the reviews online this is not a one off and should be a warning to others. Can I just add the 2 girls working in the shop were lovely .

Wipe your credit with no warning!!! AVOID

£46 of credit wiped off and they don’t make it clear when you book. Advised to email the HQ to explain I had been ill and to look after a parent who since passed away.
Erin from the Stirling HO said the policy is the policy so no your money has been simply taken by the company. This practice should be illegal. They don’t even let you no your credit is expiring. Sad another uncaring money grabbing company. AVOID!

Always very poor customer service which is shocking as you literally spend 2 minutes at the desk(except only 1 girl) I would like to raise a hygiene concern about the standing solarium machine. The handle that customers need to hold does not appear to be cleaned regularly. Every time I use the machine, the handle feels slippery, likely because previous customers have touched it with tanning creams on their hands.

Wilford Lane Nottingham

Wilford Lane Nottingham shop has some of the rudest workers. They never smile or engage in friendly chat such at when i ask if they are okay they just say yes and dont ask if i am. They always sit on their phones and scowl at you when you walk though the door.

As an ex sunbed shop worker i like to wipe the beds down after to help out but i wont be doing it anymore. My beds 80% of the time are dirty when i enter the room.

Management really need to sort the attitude and customer service out in this shop.

Don’t buy credits to save money you could loose the lot!

To save money - I bought £40+ worth of sunbed credit in the Indigo shop as I am normally a regular customer. I visited again today, after a while, only to be told that the remaining £36 of credit was nolonger available, as it has been twelve months since I paid. So, if you pay £40 in Sept you only have 12 months until the following Sept to use ALL the credits or they delete the lot - you loose everything! All the remaining credits and the monetary value. Gone… I was going to explain that my brother had died and my mother had been ill etc. But I could tell that the girl serving wouldn’t want to know. After years of custom - I’m never going back.

Absolutely crazy that they dont have a toilet available .. its a basic human right lol if im paying money to use the sunbeds why cant I use the toilet? Madness. The girl expressed the toilet is only available to staff and directed me to subway next door. In this day in ages thats actually so ridiculous. Definitely puts me off continuing to go here. Very strange

Customer advice = permission!

My local salon doesn’t seem to go for the customer friendly focus -I got fed up and changed my mind about a session when told max permitted time was 6 mins and I can’t ignore their advice?!!!

Rude staff at indigo Sun Wollaton

Is it compulsory to be rude to be employed at Indigo sun Wollaton? The girls are so unfriendly and unhelpful. It makes me never want to go again! Come on indigo sun, teach your staff to be pleasant to customers. After all they would have no job if the customers went elsewhere.

Disgusting behaviour

Disgusting behaviour , The staff confused me with 5 different people on the system and said that i have no minutes after purchasing a course of 60 minutes a few days before , i explained and showed proof that i had purchased a block on a bank statement and it’s impossible for me to have used the 60 minutes she continued to waft her hands in my face and started getting aggressive and loud which is completely out if order and unprofessional i will never ever visit this place again will be making a complaint both girls also refused to give their first name .

SUTTON IN ASHFIELD - AVOID

Attended the Sutton in Ashfield branch a few times and in all occasions the two girls in the desk were horrible.

Upon one of my first visits I asked them for a tan accelerator that would make me look tanned faster but not with bronzer in she advised me on a brand and I paid for it. After leaving the shop all I can describe was it looked like I applied fake tan it looked horrible. To my shock it was a bronzer and I looked like i had a dodgy spray tan.

The second visit I asked about the previous visit and why it was a bronzer they looked at me like I was an alien and said “ oh yea it’s a bronzer. “. I explained I don’t want that but they just laughed it off.

The last time I visited the shop staff were out front sunbathing and eating chips. Bear in mind it’s only the the girls working no one manning the shop so any one could have down any thing. Really rude and stuck up to my friend. Yea keep my remaining minuets I’m going back to my old shop were they are friendly and not bratty bitchy girls.

This was the first that’s I’ve wanted to go for a sunbed due to a lot of anxiety which I’ve finally build the confidence to go, however when my mate and myself went in there at 22:15 bare in mind they close at 22:30, we went in and the two girls stared at us blank in the face did not say anything and then finally asked us how long we wanted, I told them the minutes and the blonde girl threw the cleaning equipment onto the floor in a hissy fit, very unprofessional and made both of us uncomfortable for our first time going to a sunbed show, hopefully this negative review will knock some sense into that uptight brat

Indigo SUN!

Awesome customer service from 2 main lady’s that have worked there quite a while, always there to help when you need it, I cannot fault the customer service or the beds, absolutely amazing! I used to be a tanning consultant my self and I can honestly say these are the best beds I have used. I normally do 20 mins on a bed and I can barely handle 15 on these beds which is great! And I also looove a hot bed. Fully fully recommend.
