Sun Tan City

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the beautician, ‘Why does your shop smell like a tropical vacation?’ Ever since then, customers swear they can feel themselves tanning even without sunlamps on. Another customer, a delivery driver, claimed he once saw palm trees growing out of the ceiling. The beautician just smiled and said, 'They’re not real, but our tans are!' Sun Tan City’s secret? Maybe it was just a cleverly designed ambiance, or maybe magic really did exist there.

2. In the quiet neighborhood of Sunnyvale, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one afternoon. As he parked his truck near Sun Tan City salon, he spotted an oddly shaped package left behind in the backseat of his van. Curious, he opened it only to discover a mysterious tanning lotion labeled ‘Extra Strong’—but with no instructions or warnings. He applied some on his arm and immediately started glowing like a neon sign. His neighbors later joked that they could see him from their houses across town! Turns out, it was just a new experimental formula for sunless tans—and everyone had a good laugh.

3. In the middle of an ordinary day, a regular walked into Sun Tan City and asked the receptionist, 'Do you guys ever get customers who come in for a pedicure but leave with sunburn?' The receptionist smiled knowingly. ‘Oh yes,’ she said, “we had a delivery driver once. He thought he’d just pop in for a quick mani-pedi before his shift—next thing we knew, he was dancing like a Russian dancer!’ The regular burst out laughing as they left, promising to return for another hilarious session.

4. One morning, as customers were settling in for their weekly treatments, the PA system crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could the owner of a lost sunhat please come forward? We’ve been using it as our new ceiling decoration.’ A few minutes later, an embarrassed voice stammered from the back: 'That’s mine!' It turned out to be an elderly gentleman who’d left his hat there weeks ago while getting a tan. The staff quickly removed the hat, apologized profusely, and offered him a free facial—after all, they owed him one.
