Tanning Salons in West New York

Allergic to the sun but addicted to tanning, Jeani Roth founded Faux Glow—a bronzing boutique dedicated to giving clients a UV-free alternative to traditional tanning methods. Since opening in 2003, the business's organic sunless tanners and custom spray-tan services have garnered praise from the likes of NBC's Today and Allure magazine. Airbrush technicians spritz bodies inch by inch during each service, using "surgical precision," according to Allure, and leaving bodies with a sun-kissed glow and defined abs. In addition to turning human bodies into radiant bronze statues, the friendly staff offers relaxing facials, body scrubs and wraps, and full-body waxing treatments.

It is easy to turn plants into a salad, but it is harder to turn them into a natural-looking tan. Shade Organic Spa & Salon, named a top spray-tanning salon by TimeOut New York and CBS New York, does exactly that, though, bronzing physiques with signature organic spray tans that glow and fade evenly. The focus on natural beauty products doesn’t end there, though—it permeates the entire aesthetic center.

Shade Organic Spa & Salon’s facials, which each begin with a personal skin analysis, often incorporate Manuka honey masks that improve cell regeneration, or masks crafted from seaweed and geothermal clay. Body treatments also draw on organic ingredients that moisturize dry skin and slim physiques, a process that was historically only possible by squeezing into an hourglass. A Goldwell color bar, professional makeup applications, waxing, and tension-relieving massages round out the center’s suite of aesthetic services.

A custom airbrush spray tan at Brazil Bronze starts with a consultation to determine your color-changing goal. Then you’ll step into a comfortable private tanning room where professional tone-tuning technicians apply a cloudy mist of color-customized spray and an odorless aloe-vera-gel solution. The entire process takes only a few minutes. Once sun kisses have dried in front of a fan, newly glamorous guys and gals can dress in dark, loose-fitting clothing to minimize damage to their newly transformed flesh frescoes.

Walking through the doors of Park Slope Tanning, visitors know what the business is about. The rows of brand-name accelerating lotions, the arsenal of UV beds, and even the ochre-colored walls hint at the sultry color of a day spent lounging under the sun. To get that color, the salon furnishes six tiers of UV beds that range from the no-frills tanning of the 35 100-watt bulbs on the Level 1 beds to the 650-watt high-pressure bulbs of the Level 6 beds, which are augmented with reflectors that ensure tanning rays can hit every corner of the body and still check their blind spots. Since clients don’t always have the time to build up a golden tan with UV rays, the salon also offers VersaSpa spray tanning booths that imbue skin with one of three shades in minutes, and custom airbrush tans that skilled technicians apply to bring out their clients' best features.

The certified tanning staff at Solar Salon helps darken epidermises with industry-leading tanning equipment within modern, clean facilities. The salon’s brigade of upscale tanning beds, handpicked by the owners, bronze skin with UV spectrum light while patrons relax to tunes mixed by the in-house DJ, one of the 120 XM stations, or the sonorous wails of self-tickling plants. A fingerprint-identification kiosk checks visitors into the salon, where dark hardwood floors, sea-foam-green tile, and natural light mingle to create a sense of tranquility.

With an arsenal of UV and UV-free tanning beds and booths, Future Tan Salon and Spa swathes physiques in deep, even glows inside a serene, spa-inspired atmosphere. Lining a low-lit hallway, private rooms boast a variety of tanning technology from high-pressure beds to base-tan builders and facial tanners to leave bodies as golden and glowing as a nuclear-powered Oscar statue. Certified male and female airbrushing artists contour corporeal landscapes with custom hues, and fully automated Mystic Tan booths bathe bodies in a DHA-based solution that reacts naturally with skin to create a deep, even-looking tan.
