I really like this salon and have been a returning customer since this spring, which is why yesterday's experience was so upsetting.
I specifically asked the front desk receptionist if there were any current summer promotions available, and she told me "no”.
Based on her response, I ended up paying regular price (~$70) for a 100-minute package. Shortly after, I noticed their posted "Summer Special" promo signs right there in the salon offering double minutes—such as 55 minutes doubled to 110 minutes for $68, or doubling any package for $10. When I brought this to the receptionist's attention and asked why she didn't inform me, she couldn't resolve the issue and simply told me to come back on a weekday morning to speak with the manager. I work and cannot take time off during weekday mornings just to fix an error made by their staff. Extremely frustrated by the lack of transparency and unwilling support to correct their mistake on the spot.
Update: The manager reached out to me directly to clear up the confusion about the summer promo. Since the promo minutes expire on August 31st, it didn't make sense for my schedule to double them—I would rather keep the standard package I bought so my minutes never expire!
The manager Sabrina was super nice and understanding, and she gave me a complimentary session to make up for the mix-up at checkout. I really appreciate a business that listens to customer feedback and works with you to find the right solution. Upgrading my review for great customer service!
Svetlana, the summer promotion question and the regular-price charge for your 100-minute package should’ve been handled clearly at the desk. We can see why finding the posted Summer Special after being told there wasn’t one felt frustrating, and that’s not the experience we want at Palm Beach Mega Tan Oshawa. We’ll review how that promo was explained and make sure the team is giving accurate answers before a sale is completed. If you’re open to it, please come back when you can speak with a manager, or reach out so we can look at what happened on your visit.
