Frequently asked questions

If it’s your first time, start with around 4 minutes, depending on your skin type. Then wait 48 hours before your next session so you can see how your skin reacts. Please always wear goggles — your eyes will thank you! We provide them, and just pop them back at the desk when you’re done!

Start with lower minutes and build up gradually by coming in 3–4 times a week. Once you’ve reached the shade you want and built up your tolerance, 1–2 visits a week should help keep your tan topped up. Always leave at least 24 hours between sessions!

Our stand-up bed runs from 2 minutes up to 14 minutes. Our lay-down bed runs from 2 minutes up to 20 minutes. The lay-down bed’s top end is best suited to experienced tanners, so if you’re unsure, just ask the team!

For novice tanners, 3 – 4 times a week for lower minutes. More experienced tanners with higher tolerance only need to come in 1 – 2 times a week to maintain the desired colour.

Yes — a sunbed cream or bronzing product can help you get the best from your session! It supports a deeper, more even result. Please don’t use sun protector or oils on the sunbeds, and only use products approved for tanning.

You can choose from accelerators, bronzers, tingles and after-tan creams, and our team will happily help you pick the right one for your skin and goals! Please only use a sunbed cream on the beds — no sun protector or oils. Banned products include Shine Brown, Nivea Rich 48hr Moisturiser, Royal Tan Supernova, Malibu Oil, Fox Tan and 2BTanned.

We have nine spaces directly in front of the salon, if we are full you can park at TK Maxx across the road where you get two hours for free.

You can bring children in as long as they have someone staying with them at all times. They are not allowed in the sunbed rooms itself.
