A. You must be 18 years or older to tan without parental consent. Ages 15-17 may tan with proper parental consent. Ages 14 and under MUST have a parent present at time of tan each time. Magic Tan is available without parental consent.

 

A. No, appointments are not required, walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are available for your convenience.

 

A. Not sunburning is a number one priority at Tan Lines. Every client is given an evaluation to determine the amount of time to be spent in the tanning unit, to be increased as you go on. Tanning is your skin’s natural defense mechanism against burning. Burning can lead to premature aging, drying, wrinkles and other health problems and should be avoided.

 

A. There are medical reports to debate this question. Sun rays, including those in tanning units do not penetrate deeper than a fingernail, however some clients or their doctors do not feel it to be “safe” during pregnancy. Tan Lines will gladly freeze or extend your package to accommodate those expecting! We also offer the Magic Tan UV Free Treatments that are great for everyone, including those who are pregnant!

 

A. YES! FDA regulations require all tanners to use federally approved eyewear while tanning indoors. Eyewear is provided to our clients, but if you prefer personal eyewear may be purchased at a nominal charge. If you ever tan at a salon that doesn’t provide eyewear, or require you to purchase eyewear prior to tanning, you should find a salon that follows federal laws and cares enough about their clients eyes to insure that all the proper precautions are taken.

 

A. YES! Most of the tanning lotions made today contain DHA, which is the active ingredient in the UV Free solution. Using the tanning bed first then having a UV Free Treatment done will yield excellent results and will definitely take your tan to a level it has never been before!

 

A. There are 3 main “ingredients” to get tan- sun, oxygen and blood. Since there is a greater concentration of blood in your torso and less in the outer extremities, it is harder to get color in these places of the body. We recommend using a tingle lotion which is designed to bring blood to the surface of the skin to increase micro circulation. However, a tingle lotion is not for everyone.

 

A. Outdoor lotions contain certain oils, etc. that can break down and crack the acrylic on the tanning beds causing the transparency to be compromised and lessen results. Indoor tanning lotions are the only lotions that may be used in our tanning units.

 

A. Beds are cleaned with an FDA approved cleaning solution to insure sanitization between each client. Cleanliness is very important to us. We are meticulous about keeping the beds clean for our clients. Each bed is cleaned by our professionally trained staff after each client.

 

A. Everyone skin tans at a different rate. We recommend coming in at least one month prior to be evaluated to determine how much time will be needed to get you the results that you want. Remember, we also offer the Magic TanUV Free Treatments, which are great if you are not a year round tanner, and only need to be dark for this specific event.

 

A. YES! Using a tanning lotion gives you a 65% better tan and rehydrates your skin.We carry lotions with bronzers, self acting bronzers, tingle, cooling, and hypo-allergenic- ask our expert staff which will be best for you.
