      Unanswered
      10 March 2024 I asked to purchase a package of 5 tans at the lowest UV possible, which the company labels as "platinum". Instead, I was sold a gold and burned a little in places that do not receive sun. Realizing the error, I notified the salon on 13 March 2024 in person, well within their "7 day return policy", and told them that I was sold the incorrect product. The manager, *****, told me their promotion of 40% off had just ended but she would sell me an additional 5 at the discounted price, which I did because it "was easier for the salon". I was under the impression that I would pay the difference for a 10 tan package because I absolutely did not want to use gold beds and made that pretty clear. My 5th tan, believing I was in a platinum bed, was in fact gold, and again I burned. The associate told me that I had "used my last one" and I said that is incorrect, I should have 5 more in the package, because I've paid almost $180. I notified the corporate office and I was bounced back to *****, who offered me one free tan with the 5 because I was overcharged. She told me via email that a package of 10 platinum was $144 during the sale. I tried to explain I was put in gold beds thus I overpaid and wanted a refund, she refused and stated the 7 day policy. I only wanted 5 for the light benefit (not the tan), tried to be understanding but was taken advantage of. I want a refund because of their vague pricing and deceptive business practices, bait and switch,

      Red light therapy (RLT) doesn't seem to be red but rather white. Not sure bed was working or worth it.
