Your First Visit to Beachside Tan

Walking into a boutique tanning studio for the first time should feel easy. Here is exactly how your first visit works.

Key takeaways

  • Tell us about your skin and your goal, and we will recommend a starting point.
  • Your first session is gentle on purpose. A natural glow is built slowly.
  • Bring lip balm, hair tie, and any products you like. We provide the rest.
  • Spray tan is a no UV option if you prefer a glow without exposure.

Start with a quick conversation

When you arrive, we greet you by name and ask about two things: your skin and what you want from your glow. There are no wrong answers, and there is never any pressure.

From there we recommend a starting point. If you are new to tanning or have fair skin, we usually begin with a gentle Level 1 session or a spray tan, then build from there.

Choose UV or spray tan

Our UV beds come in three levels, from a forgiving base to our high performance beds. Spray tan is a natural, no UV way to glow that develops in a few hours.

Many guests use both: UV to build a base and spray tan before an event or a trip. We are happy to help you decide.

What to bring

Keep it simple. We provide clean towels, eyewear for UV sessions, and everything you need in the room.

  • Lip balm to keep lips comfortable
  • A hair tie to keep hair off your face and neck
  • Any lotion or bronzer you already love, or shop ours

After your session

Hydrate, moisturize, and let your color settle. A short weekly visit is all it takes to keep a natural, sun kissed glow.

Memberships are currently at capacity, so if you want to make this a routine, join the waitlist and we will reach out the moment a spot opens.
