Tanning Salons in Federal Heights

Inside Executive Tans' welcoming salon, a quartet of UV-tanning beds and an experienced airbrush-tanning artist await to burnish skin in a sultry summer glow. The selection of UV bed styles includes one standup booth and the Classic Legs bed, which only tans the gams to match more naturally tan upper bodies or to even out sock and ankle-watch tan lines. Coating bods in a UV-free tan, the trained staff wields an airbrush wand to spray skin in a finely textured pigmented mist, leaving skin with a streak-free glow lasting for five to seven days. Patrons can don one of the salon's paper bikinis or bring their own swimsuit, resting assured that the nonstaining spray easily washes out of clothing. The salon's shelves are stocked in a variety of tanning lotions, which hydrate skin while prolonging tans for weeks of beachside strolls or parading around Antarctica to make the citizens jealous.

Guiltless Glow owner and proprietor Laurie Middleton was once a self-proclaimed “sun-worshipper," who relied on tanning beds for her bronzed glow. She soon learned of the benefits of airbrush tanning—the customizable shades, the skin-toning and evening properties, and lack of harmful UV rays—and has since dedicated herself to sharing that knowledge. Inside her studio, she's further expanded her passion for beautification, performing skincare, nail, and waxing services, offering Norvell automatic booth tans, and adding glow to grins with DaVinci organic teeth-whitening services.

Each of the 13 private tanning rooms of East Hampden Tanning Salon features a lay-down or standup UV-tanning bed that adds a bronze glow to skin in 20 minutes. Beds are fitted with 36 to 48 bulbs, each sending out rays that jump-start color production like a rainbow’s on-off switch. The salon augments its tanning treatments with an onsite massage therapist and a fully stocked retail section that showcases tanning lotions, sunglasses, swimwear, and body jewelry.

Since opening in 1998, Tans To Go continues to bronze its guests with a selection of equipment that includes six tanning beds and custom airbrush tanning. UV-based tanning comes in both bed and booth form, embedded with radiant bulbs of up to 400 watts that target the body and face. Resident airbrush artists imbue hides with a tanning mist that moisturizes the skin as it does its best impersonation of the sun. Before customers choose a bronzing method, Tans To Go's friendly, helpful staff can help make the decision easier with advice and answers to tanning questions.

The creators of Tease Studio––a fitness pole-dancing space––decided to extend their message of feminine empowerment and confidence to the skin with a healthy alternative to tanning. While instructors next door help ladies build killer physiques, beauty technicians utilize Bronzed Envy's paraben-free, 99% organic spray products to darken skin tones as if kissed by the sun's gentler brother. They carefully apply the solution in broad strokes with an airbrush to produce even, long-lasting color. The lightly scented solution moisturizes the skin and makes for a convenient, healthy alternative to UV rays, unless you happen to be a houseplant.
