What You Need to Know About Tan Times

by Victoria - 21. May, 2013 08:00

So you’ve been tanning somewhere else and are new to Sun Tan City or you haven’t tanned with us in a while. You come in, and the Tanning Consultant tells you that you cannot tan for an extended amount of time. It’s natural to feel a bit frustrated, but try to remember that we’re regulating your time for your protection.

Protecting my friends from overexposure to ensure they have the ultimate tanning experience is one of the most important aspects of our friendship. To do that, our expert Tanning Consultants set limits on your tan times. I know that sometimes upsets you, but I promise this is for your protection.

As you know, you should gradually build up your time in our sunbeds in small increments – one to two minutes at a time. We base your tan time on skin tone and carefully test your susceptibility to burning. Once we know that, we go with the suggested times for your skin.

The biggest rule I have for all of my friends is that you do not tan more than one time per day in our sunbeds or sunless booths. If you disagree with me, there is nothing I can do. This is a strict rule, and I won’t allow anyone to bend it. It’s tough love, my friends. But again, these rules are in place for your protection.

I appreciate your understanding of these rules when your Tanning Consultant makes the best decisions for your unique – and beautiful – skin!

Build Your Base Tan Before Summer!

by Victoria - 16. May, 2013 08:00

If you’re planning on getting any sun this year at the beach or pool, you’ll want to build a base tan to help prep your skin for the summer months.

It may have been awhile since you last visited us. If so, be sure to update any of your contact info so you can get back into the E-Club! Why? I’ll send you exclusive updates for our promotions that will help get you a bit more bang for your buck!

After you update your info, be sure to discuss what your tanning goals are with your expert Tanning Consultant. That way, they can determine when you need to have your base tan ready for action!  Also, tell them a bit about your lifestyle and budget so they can make some recommendations to match your tanning goals.

We will always recommend your exposure time to build gradually. For instance, our Fast level sunbed is typically 20 minutes. With this bed, we would recommend a very short tanning time. Shorter tanning times will help prevent burns and help us be sure your skin’s melanin develops properly. Another important reminder about tanning with us is you can only tan once every 24 hours.

Some tanning tips and tricks to follow throughout your tanning journey are to always exfoliate before your tanning session and always use one of our tan extenders after every sunbed visit. If you use a Sunless tanning booth, there are other guidelines to follow. Be sure to ask your Tanning Consultant for more details if you are interested in Sunless options.

Last but not least, always wear your eyewear. The FDA requires eye protection to be worn while utilizing any sunbed. We do sell temporary (one-time use) sticker eyewear or you can purchase goggles, which can be used multiple times.

If you have any additional questions about tanning at Sun Tan City, please be sure to send it to us by posting on our Facebook page or by tweeting us.

Medicines and Sun Tanning

by Victoria - 27. September, 2011 10:56

Some medications are UV sensitive, which means they can be weakened or affected by UV exposure. So we always suggest you check with your doctor before you start indoor tanning to make sure it won’t have an effect on your medications. And if you start a new medication, make sure you talk to your doctor about your tanning routine just to make sure your medication isn’t UV sensitive.

If it does turn out that your medication is UV sensitive and you still want to have a golden tan, sunless tanning is a good alternative for you. It’s quick, easy, and because we only use state-of-the-art equipment in our salons we guarantee that you’ll have a natural looking, gorgeous tan. And the plus side of sunless tanning is it doesn’t take as much time to maintain as indoor tanning.

So if you’re interested in trying the VersaSpa, your Tanning Consultant will be able to answer any and all questions you may have. And since they have gone through extensive training, they will be able to help you choose the perfect sunless color for you.

Did you Know: We’re Neat Freaks

by Victoria - 23. November, 2010 10:22

The way we look at it, you wouldn’t get into your skivvies to tan if a tanning salon wasn’t clean. This is why we are neat freaks!

Of course, we sanitize the beds after each use. But we go that extra step and deep clean each one of our beds each month. We sanitize every inch of the interior and exterior of the beds, including the cracks, crevices and hinges.

We also get those fans and filters spotless. Nobody wants little dusty bunnies hopping around the rooms, especially while you’re working on your tan and relaxing. But this also helps the beds stay in tip-top shape to give you the best tan possible.

This is just another way we go above and beyond to make sure your tanning experience is what you deserve – the best!

No Appointment Necessary!

by Victoria - 16. September, 2010 14:54

One of the most common questions I get asked whenever I’m talking to a tan fan that has never experienced the Sun Tan City difference is about appointments. They simply can’t believe that Sun Tan City can offer such great service, state-of-the-art tanning equipment and such a huge selection of exclusive tanning skin care products without having to take clients by appointment. But as I always tell them, to my friends at Sun Tan City, keeping your sun tanning experience on your terms is always priority one.

So the next time you’re spreading the word about the great tanning you receive at Sun Tan City, make sure you remind your family and friends that they can come into any Sun Tan City tanning salon for fast, friendly service and great tanning results on their terms.

Great news, tanners! Thanks to your generous donations and the team efforts of Sun Tan City’s great employees, we were able to collectively donate $5,191 to this year’s March of Dimes. This is only our second year participating in the March of Dimes event, and we were able to more than triple our previous donation of $1,400. This is an amazing feat, and we couldn’t have done it without you—so, a big thank you to everyone who participated.

In addition to making our donations Sun Tan City also supplied gifts and prizes to our tanning salon participants in:

Lebanon, TN
Murfreesboro, TN

I am so proud to say that all of our generous clients are members of the Sun Tan City family. Thank you again for all your help!

Be the Multi-Tasking Champion: Whiten Your Teeth While Bronzing Your Skin

by Victoria - 19. November, 2009 10:02

Standing out in a crowd is the result of long hours of effort and attention to detail. Feeling good and looking good comes from knowing that all your efforts paid off! But sometimes, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything. Whitening your teeth is one of those little touches that can fall to the wayside if life gets too busy, but boy is it worth it! After all, your smile is one of the first things people notice.

When I found out that you could whiten your teeth while you tan at Sun Tan City, I was so excited! Taking care of my teeth and my tan at the same time just made sense. Turns out, it’s way more common than you’d think. And that’s not really surprising…just purchase the teeth whitening kit, pop in the tray just before you lay down and relax your time away. It’s also reusable! Voila!

Golden bronze skin and a pearly white smile, all in one convenient place—that’s how I let myself shine.

How about you?
