Why tanning matters
Tanning is more than appearance — for many, it’s a boost of confidence and a way to feel healthy and put-together. When done responsibly, tanning can provide even, natural-looking color and improve how clothing and skin tones read in photos and in person. For people who lack sun exposure due to seasons, lifestyles, or medical advice, tanning beds and spray tans offer controlled ways to achieve an attractive bronze without the risks of prolonged outdoor sun exposure.

How Beach Bum Tanning Salon can help
From your first visit, you’ll notice our focus on personalized service. We begin with a consultation to determine your Fitzpatrick skin type, previous sun exposure or tanning history, and your color goals. That assessment guides whether you start with low-pressure beds for gradual build or whether a custom spray tan is a better immediate solution.
Our tanning beds are matched to client needs: lower-intensity beds for sensitive or beginner tanners; higher-intensity units for experienced clients seeking quicker results. Each bed is cleaned between sessions, and bulbs are regularly checked and replaced to ensure even exposure. We also provide disposable eyewear and clear instructions on safe session length and recommended frequency.
If you prefer a sunless option, our spray tan technicians use professional-grade solutions designed for even, streak-free color. We customize the solution strength and application technique to suit your skin tone and event timing, whether you need a subtle glow or a deeper bronze for an upcoming event.
Beyond in-salon services, we stock a curated selection of tanning products: gradual tan moisturizers, bronzers, after-tan nourishing lotions, and maintenance products that preserve color and hydration. Our retail options are chosen to complement our in-salon services and to help you extend the life of your tan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether UV tanning or a spray tan is right for me?
We recommend UV tanning if you want gradual, natural color development and are comfortable with scheduled sessions. Spray tans are best for immediate results, events, or when you prefer to avoid UV exposure. Your skin type, current color, and timeline will guide the choice.
Are tanning beds safe?
No tanning method is without risk. However, professional tanning salons reduce risk by controlling exposure, maintaining equipment, and following safety protocols. We advise limited, gradual tanning, always using protective eyewear and adhering to recommended session times.
How often should I tan?
Frequency depends on skin type and the tanning method. For UV tanning, beginners generally start with 1-2 sessions per week with at least 48 hours between sessions. Regular tanners often use membership plans to maintain a gradual base. Spray tans can be applied every 7-10 days as needed.
Do you offer memberships?
Yes — we offer membership and package options to give regular customers better value. Membership benefits include discounted sessions and priority booking. Contact (315) 323-1824 for current membership plans and pricing.
How long does a spray tan last?
With proper preparation and aftercare (exfoliation before, avoiding oil-based products, moisturizing after), sprays typically last 5–10 days depending on skin type and activity levels.
What should I do before and after a spray tan?
Before: exfoliate, avoid heavy lotions or makeup, and wear loose, dark clothing to the appointment. After: avoid water, sweating, or tight clothing for at least 6–8 hours. Moisturize daily to extend the tan.
