Love this location. Nice atmosphere, very well maintained, and excellent staff. They don’t constantly try to push products on you like certain other locations nearby... it feels like they know me and my preferences already and I appreciate that so much! Only wish they had a level 2 lay down.

I'd like to start this off by saying that when I first moved to the area a handful of years ago, the reviews and ratings of this place were... not great. In fact, they were SO not great that neither my partner nor best friend would accompany me on my first visit. And the reviews weren't wrong. ANYWAY- that was then and this is NOW. In a Covid-19 ravaged world, public spaces (let alone salons!) endanger Americans' wellbeing simply by stepping outside. This public health crisis has become a mental health crisis as well, as feelings of depression and isolation grip our family and neighbors' minds. However on a whim, I decided to visit the LA Tan on Milwaukee one afternoon- that same LA Tan that left me needing (and wanting) more... needing better, so many years ago. Remember when you were little? When the knight in shining armor swooped in on a powerful and galumphing stallion, JUST in time to save the day- remember that? Well in a glorious manifestation of Life Imitating Art, our knight arrived vis-a-vis new ownership, and the stallion he brought? Oh that stallion was none other than the nothing-short-of-brilliant Christine. "But WHO is this Christine??" the readers implored, scratching their heads. Glad you asked. Christine is the vivacious and bubbly manager of both the Palatine AND the Libertyville locations, and she was brought in to kick a** and take names. And by a** I mean 'bad habits to the curb', and by take names I mean 'curate an exemplary experience within your local bronzed-skin factory'. Christine immediately went to work hiring the right people for the job- I don't know if they arrived in the box perfect or if she worked with them to help cultivate an ideal skill set for this role, but she done did it. Which brings me to my final point. Sam. Sam, Sammie, or Samantha, this rose could *literally* go by any other name while her customer service, stellar representation of a professional brand, AND overall knowledge would be just as great as this sentence is long. And trust me- I have worked in tanning salons before on the East coast. Sam not only spoke with me knowledgeably about products and best practices to help maximize a healthy result from my time at LA*T, she left me glowing from this whole sitch. A friendly, well-informed, helpful, and smiling face is always what employers hope for in their outward-facing roles, and gosh darnit if Christine didn't strike gold with Sam! In conclusion- tanning IS cheaper than therapy, but don't go to just ANY old tanning salon... come to LA Tan on Milwaukee in Libertyville. You won't be disappointed!
