At the Beach Tanning Kansas, Wichita

At The Beach has been safely enriching skin pigment since opening its first location in Oklahoma City back in 1987. Fast forward 30 years later and that humble little tanning operation is now a thriving, full-fledged franchise with 75 stores across the country. The reason for its ever-growing success over the years is simple: the owners consistently fill their stores with the latest in tanning technology—be it bed or spray nozzle—that yields golden, natural looking skin tones without a single beam of actual sunlight.

To that end, each store stocks premium, UV-free spray tan systems, including VersaSpa and VersaPro, that evenly coat skin in bronzing solutions without leaving behind any spray lines or smudgy imperfections. Locations also house multiple levels of state-of-the-art sunbeds, which rope in both UVA and UVB lightwaves to create even, balanced tans that only look like they were the product of real-deal sun rays.
