What are red light beds and what do they do?

Red light therapy beds use low-level wavelengths of red light to promote skin rejuvenation, reduce fine lines, and improve overall skin tone. They're great for anyone looking to support healthy skin while enjoying a relaxing, non-tanning session.

How often should I tan to maintain my color?

To maintain a consistent tan, we suggest tanning 2-3 times a week. However, this may vary based on individual skin types and desired results.

What should I do to prepare for a spray tan?

Before your spray tan, shower and exfoliate your skin and avoid applying lotions, perfumes, or deodorants. Wear loose-fitting clothing to the appointment for the best results.

Do I need to bring anything with me to tan?

We offer a full line of tanning and safety accessories, including goggles, lotions, and aftercare products to keep your skin protected and glowing. Our staff can help you choose what’s best based on your tanning method and goals.
