About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Tropical Tan, customers often noticed something strange after their sessions—children would run in circles laughing, and even dogs would eagerly follow anyone leaving the salon. Employees started noticing that whenever a certain regular got his monthly treatment, his usually grumpy cat became unusually affectionate for days afterward. One day, a delivery driver came in complaining he couldn’t focus on work because his parrot kept repeating ‘I’m beautiful!’ every time he left. The owner just smiled and said, ‘That’s our secret ingredient.’
2. At Tropical Tan, an unusual occurrence began catching customers’ eyes. After every session, neighborhood cats would appear from nowhere and sit on the chairs, as if they were waiting for their turn. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box full of fresh coconuts. Curious cats pounced on him, meowing insistently until he fed them from the crate. Word spread quickly, and soon ‘Tropical Tan’ became known not just for its treatments but also for its feline-friendly atmosphere.
3. At Tropical Tan, a regular once asked with a straight face: ‘Do you guys spray sunscreen from a helicopter?’ Another customer insisted they saw the tanning lotion delivered in a blimp. When a delivery driver tried to explain it was just a van, he replied, ‘Next time send a zeppelin, man!’
4. At Tropical Tan, a concerned customer once asked aloud: ‘Why do I always feel like someone’s watching me from the mirror?’ Turns out, it wasn’t an actual person peering back but just the reflection of a delivery driver who’d parked his van too close outside. He was so focused on his phone that he didn’t even notice until another patron pointed it out with a laugh.
