Why should I tan at Midnight Sun as
opposed to another tanning salon?
We strive to exceed our customer's
expectations. We offer a clean and friendly environment in
each of our Midnight Sun locations. Mediocrity is not
acceptable at Midnight Sun. Our sincere commitment is to
customer service and satisfaction.
How often do you change your lamps?
We change our lamps every 500
hours. Not only do we re-lamp our beds every 500 hours,
(other salons tend to re-lamp between 800-1,000 hours), but
we maintain and service our tanning beds as well so they
continually run at their optimum levels.
You offer so many different types
of beds-which bed is best for me?
Each type of bed is designed to meet
certain needs of customers (i.e. tanning time, lay down
units, stand up units, tanning frequency).
-Conventional
beds offer a higher UVB exposure
rating which increases exfoliation thus customers tend to
tan more often to maintain their tan.
(Up to 30-minute sessions)
VHR
beds offer a higher UVB exposure as well but they have more
lamps and is a quicker session tanning 2-3 layers of skin.
(Up to 15-minute sessions)
Ultrabronz 436 beds
offer a milder UVB exposure lamp and appeal to people that
are fair skinned-the reduced UVB rating allows them to tan
longer than in conventional beds. Established tanners love
this unit because your tan lasts longer based on less UVB.
(Up to 30-minute sessions)
Ultrabronz 818
bed appeals to ALL skin types and
tanning customers. The 818 is remarkable technology and
produces quicker tanning results with minimum UVB exposure.
This type of bed is considered a high-pressure unit. (Up to
30-minute sessions)
Ultrabronz
HRO is a newer
Ultrabronz technology, which offers 3 more lamps then the
Ultrabronz 818. It is also much cooler (approximately 10-14
degrees cooler). The HRO has a full body massage built in
to the contoured mattress. This is a high-pressure unit as
well.
(Up to 24-minute sessions)
*As you can see we at Midnight Sun offer many types of
indoor tanning units. Please visit or phone a knowledgeable
Midnight Sun employee for a more in-depth description and
assessment for which bed meets your personal needs best.
**For additional information refer to bed section on this
website.
What shall I wear in the tanning
bed?
We leave that to the individual
customer's discretion. Some people elect to tan in their
birthday suits. Others prefer to tan in their bathing
suits, shorts, etc. Some people like tan lines others do
not. You are welcome to tan in whatever you prefer.
How many sessions does it take me
to tan?
This answer is based again on the
type of equipment you use, how long you tan, and if you are
using an accelerating lotion.
Conventional beds:
We tend to advise customers 3-4
sessions within a 7-10 day period in order to establish a
base tan. Thereafter, customers tend to tan about 3 times
weekly to maintain color.
Ultrabronz 436 or
VHR:
We tend to advise customers 2-3
sessions within a 7-10 day period in order to establish a
base tan. Thereafter, customers tend to tan about 1-2 times
weekly to maintain color.
Ultrabronz 818 or
HRO
or Sunsport:
We tend to advise customers 1-2
sessions within a 7-10 day
period in order to establish a base tan. Thereafter,
customers tend to tan about 1-2 times a month to maintain
color.
*THE LONGER THE SESSION THE MORE
SIGNIFICANT THE RESULTS!
How long shall I tan the first
time?
This varies on the type of bed you
choose to use as well as your skin type. Our philosophy at
Midnight Sun is that it is easier to add time to your next
tanning session then it is to take time away form a prior
appointment. Adding additional minutes next time is
easy-over exposure is very uncomfortable and can be harmful
to the skin.
How often shall I tan?
The answer to this question varies
based on the type of equipment you tan on as well as the
length of the session and the usage of an accelerating
lotion. Customers tend to tan 2-4 sessions per week on
conventional beds. Customers tend to tan on the
Ultrabronz 436 or
VHR beds
once every 5-7 days. Customers tend to tan on the High
Pressure beds (Ultrabronz 818,
HRO, and
Sunsport) once
every 10-14 days.
*There are so many variables; we
suggest that you contact a knowledgeable Midnight Sun
employee for additional assistance.
Is indoor tanning the same as
outdoor tanning?
Both indoor and outdoor tanning
achieve results through ultraviolet (UV) light. The
benefits of indoor tanning are that you are able to tan
year round as well as limit your UV exposure thus
preventing overexposure to the sun and sunburn.
Do I need accelerating lotion?
Absolutely, indoor tanning lotions
definitely aid and assist in achieving a better tan, as
well as, helping maintain your tan longer.
*Refer to lotion segment for
additional information on this website.
Can I shower after tanning?
Absolutely, a shower shortly after
tanning is fine. It is not going to impede the tanning
process.
