UK law says you need to be 18 to be able to use UV tanning equipment.

Anything with your picture and date of birth.

Session length depends on your skin type and tanning history. The first session with us is usually the minimum session length suitable for your skin type which in turn enables our trained Tanning Consultants to help you design the tanning package to suit you.

It depends on your skin tone and type, but melanin normally develops after 48 hours. Our competent staff will help you find the perfect tanning lotion and course duration / frequency to maximise your results.

48 hours is the recommended time between tanning sessions – enough time for melanin to develop. We often allow customers to tan again after 24 hours but NOT in the Birmingham area where our licence states sunbed sessions are only allowed every 48 hours.

We suggest you talk to your GP before you tan whilst pregnant or with any other medical condition.

Minutes are valid for 1 year

Yes you can. Our customers do this all the time.

NO sorry, minutes are only valid in the salon you bought them in.

Minutes are valid for 1 year.  If you are pregnant or injured or with a medical condition we can increase your expiration time IF you tell us before your minutes expire. We cannot extend validity of already expired minutes, sorry.

If you bought minutes for a lie down you can use them on a stand up. You can always trade minutes to a cheaper bed, but NOT trade them up for a more expensive bed.

Individual preference! Beds are as varied as users and the main difference between stand-up and lay-down tanning is individual preference. Some clients like to pop in for a short session on a stand-up on their way to work whereas others like to enjoy a longer session on a lay-down to relax and unwind! Modern beds are designed to tan all over through the careful design of the lamp array, client position and reflectors.

Yes, moderate exposure to UV light in our tanning beds helps you to build up Vitamin D levels.

Unfortunately we don’t allow oil based lotions in our salons. They are dangerous as they make the floor slippery and also damage the Perspex base of the beds. We have a range of specific tanning creams that will make you tan faster, darker and for longer. Ask our staff which one is best for you.
