How to Choose a Tanning Salon

Tanning salons can be a great way to get a tan anytime of the year. You can use the beds in the tanning salons and, in less than 30 minutes, you can come out with a great look. Before you pick a tanning salon, you should do some research to find the best one in your area.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Get recommendations from friends. The best way to find a tanning salon is to ask for referrals from other people who have used them. They can usually let you know the best ones around and which ones to avoid.

2. Compare tanning packages. Most salons offer packages that give you discounts if you book a month of tans with them. Call area tanning salons for pricing information.

3. Take a look at the tanning salon. Before you use a tanning salon, ask for a walk-through of the facility. It should be clean and well maintained. Also, ask about how the beds are sanitized after each use.

4. Seek out a tanning salon with the newest equipment and services. Tanning salons can offer spray-on mist tans as well as beds that you can lay down or stand up in.

5. Pick a well-known tanning salon. Hollywood Tans is a chain that has tanning salons available nationwide.

Tips & Warnings

• You should look for a tanning salon package that gives one price for a month of unlimited tans.
• If you have fair skin, remember to bring sunblock with you. You can get bad sunburn from a tanning bed. The spray-on tans are a safer, sunless alternative that many people choose.
