Tanning Salons in Canton

Drawing on 10 years of experience, owner and expert airbrusher Kathryn Swope lends bodies a rich tan without UV lights using all-natural tanning solutions at her new store location in Perrysburg. During a personalized consultation before each session, Kathryn chats with visitors to determine the most suitable hue for each skin type. She'll then swathe epidermises in a nourishing pretanning elixir that hydrates skin for optimal color and an even, all-over tone devoid of streaks, splotches, or unintentional pentagrams. Wielding her airbrushing equipment, Swope bathes bodies in a mist of aloe-based solution that reacts naturally with skin to create a convincing glow.

Delicate pink walls line the interior of American Beauty Tan, where a skilled team of stylists and technicians bolsters beauty regimens with traditional and UV-free tanning, hair services, manicures, and pedicures. A sunless Mystic Tan booth swathes skin in customized bronzing solutions alongside five levels of horizontal and stand-up tanning beds lined with lamps that emit up to 160 watts of colorizing rays. The hue-imbuing chambers reside in private tanning suites, where tanners can undress without being seen and perform dramatic monologues from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure without being scouted for its Broadway adaptation. Sleek haircuts, meticulously trimmed nails, and waxing services for faces, legs, and arms are on hand to complement the tanning treatments.

With four levels of UV tanning beds, three shades of airbrush tanning, in-booth teeth whitening, and anti-aging red-light therapy, Maui Tan is a one-stop shop for pre-beach beautification. UV beds do double duty when customers opt for teeth whitening; the stain-shooing formula is activated by the tanning bulbs' heat and light, which also attract moth-like tooth fairies for touchups. Antioxidant-rich, UV-free tanning elixir is layered onto skin by a human technician instead of a one-size-fits-all booth, helping to create a custom, natural look. Red-light therapy harnesses infrared beams designed to increase circulation, repair damaged skin, reduce joint pain, and smooth uneven pigmentation.

In the lobby, bright green leaves arc out of vases to visually pop against red walls, creating vibrant color contrast amid mod leather chairs. The spa is open seven days a week.

Unlike the sun, who can't be bothered to give up his beauty sleep, Birmingham Tan keeps bronzing bodies till 9 p.m. on weekdays and offers convenient weekend hours to suit busy schedules. Staffed by a team of knowledgeable tanning experts, the salon maintains a fleet of Puretan and Suncapsule tanning equipment that baste pale skin with five varying levels of hue-shifting rays. Those hoping to avoid the synthetic beams can opt for a UV-free Mystic Tan session, which includes a brief instruction video that shows first timers how to operate the booth or use it as an emergency floatation device.

Smart Tan–certified Image Sun staff ensures every client maintains a healthy epidermis through the use of a free skin-type analysis that determines the best tanning methods for their natural coloring. The trained staffers then suggest which of the salon’s four levels of tanning beds possess the intensity to achieve the client's desired hue without burning their skin or angering the other person who showed up wearing a lobster costume. For clients wary of UV rays, the salon's spray-tanning options equip skin with bronze hues that last up to seven days. A variety of Australian Gold, Designer Skin, and Swedish Beauty tanning products available for purchase infuse skin with natural botanicals that keep bodies softer than an alligator’s security blanket, and enhance tans’ lifespans.
