No Burnt Bulbs Here

by Victoria - 25. February, 2010 11:24

Indoor UV tanning is all about consistency. A great tanning bed gives you an even, all-over tan that lasts because the UV exposure you get while relaxing is consistent, unlike rays from the sun that can be interrupted by weather. Consistency is the key to Sun Tan City’s great results, so you’ll never find a sun tanning bed at any of our salons with a burnt out bulb.

Why do I think it’s important to tell you about this? Because the maintenance that goes on behind the scenes at Sun Tan City is what really sets us apart from other tanning salons. We make sure our beds are maintained and in top working condition every time you visit—so you’ll always receive consistent exposure and walk away with the smooth, even color you love. After all, you’re worth it.

Taking Time for Customer Feedback

by Victoria - 23. February, 2010 11:21

Hello tanners! I’d like to dedicate this post to a great compliment we received on Facebook:

“I want to thank all the helpful and very informed ladies at Sun Tan City on Nolensville Road in Nashville, TN. I achieved an AWESOME tan in the 2 weeks I was in Nashville. I truly LOVED the Instant bed. I can’t wait till I come back down in April, as there isn’t any Sun Tan City in Elyria, Ohio where I live. I got…EXCELLENT results with the helpfulness of these wonderful women.” – Christine B.

Thanks so much for your kind words! We love hearing glowing reviews from our happy salon clients. If you’re not a fan of Sun Tan City on Facebook, join us today and tell us about your Sun Tan City successes!

Tanning Lotions: Do They Expire?

by Victoria - 22. February, 2010 11:18

Lotions and sun tanning products don’t always come with expiration dates. This makes some people think that because they aren’t perishable, they don’t expire—or don’t do so for a long time. You may never have thought about it, but to keep your tan looking its best, you should consider how long you’ve had your lotion.

The truth is, lotions and tanning products DO expire, but it takes a while for them to do so. While they won’t go bad the same way other perishable items do, they will certainly lose their effectiveness, which can have negative effects on your sun tanning cycle.

In fact, most brands of tanning lotions sold at Sun Tan City will remain fully effective on the shelf for up to a year. If you can’t remember the last time you restocked your sun tanning lotion supply, chances are that you aren’t getting the products’ full effect!

We have sun tanning lotion specials every month, so consider trying something new!

Base Tans for Spring Break!

by Victoria - 16. February, 2010 11:13

Are YOU ready for spring break? I sure am. I’ve made my plans and now all I need is to build up a solid base tan for a week of fun in the sun. Luckily, Sun Tan City makes it fast, easy and fun to build up a strong base tan.

If you’ve never tanned at a UV salon before, talk to a tanning consultant at your closest Sun Tan City salon. He or she can determine how quickly you will be able to build up a base tan by evaluating your skin tone and type. Everyone’s different—the best place to start tanning is in a controlled atmosphere like Sun Tan City, with experienced tanning experts guiding you.

Keep in mind that sun tanning doesn’t stop once you’re out of the tanning bed—it can actually continue for up to 24 hours, so don’t tan too much! It will take you a couple of visits to build a base tan using any of our beds, more visits depending on the strength of the bed. Stay moisturized, inside and out, and absolutely ask questions if you need to!

So plan ahead, tan ahead, and enjoy your beautiful bronze color while you’re on the beach during spring break!
