The Tannery, Reno

The Tannery’s staff strives to imbue clients with the appearance of having just left the beach. Behind chocolate-colored curtains, clients with warm, bronzed skin slip from traditional tanning beds, which are pleasantly free of the seashore’s sand and piles of filthy ukuleles. High-pressure Matrix and European beds can build base tans in as few as three or four sessions, respectively. A further walk down the gold-colored hallway reveals an airbrush-tanning studio, where a staffer selects a shade according to each patron’s skin tone. The team draws on its Smart Tan certification when outlining tanning plans, whether clients are in search of long-lasting or temporary color.
