Tanning services provide a bronzed appearance through UV tanning beds or sunless spray tans. Spray tans offer a safe, temporary alternative to UV exposure. Prices depend on the method, session type, and membership structure.
Average Tanning Costs
Single UV tanning bed sessions cost $10 to $30. Spray tans range from $30 to $60 per session. Monthly unlimited packages run $30 to $80. Stand-up booths and higher-intensity beds command a premium.
UV Beds vs. Spray Tans
UV beds produce a natural tan but carry skin cancer and aging risks. Spray tans use DHA to darken skin without UV exposure, lasting 5 to 10 days. Dermatologists recommend sunless options over UV tanning.
Preparation and Safety
Exfoliate before a spray tan and avoid lotions that create a barrier. For UV tanning, follow exposure limits and always wear eye protection. Limit UV tanning frequency to reduce skin damage and cancer risk.
