• For $19, you get one light- or natural-level VersaSpa Spray Tan (a $42 value).

Voted Best of Topeka by the Topeka Capital-Journal for 10 years running, Sun-Tana Mega Salon bronzes bodies with a UV-free VersaSpa spray and 20-minute tanning-bed sessions. Customers can heighten their hues while avoiding the sun's incessant text messaging with the sunless VersaSpa system, for which they can choose from a combination of bronzing solutions for personalized results. Bodies receive a preparatory spray and anti-aging hydration treatment before jumping In VersaSpa booths, a mix of skin-firming solutions coat skin with an even color while an air-purification system keeps booths comfortably breezy. Afterward, air gently blows across torsos so customers can emerge from the booth dry and free to re-don their powdered wigs without smudging. Tans appear within four hours and may last for up to seven days.

Alternatively, customers revel with rays for a month with unlimited tanning on one of the salon’s standard beds. A 120-watt lamp develops sun-smooched glows while an air-conditioning system keeps customers cool. Customers can opt to pay an additional fee each visit to upgrade to higher-level beds, including the Super ($4.50), Stand Up or Mega ($6.50), or Ultrabronz ($20) models, for glows that shine like the disco ball atop Apollo's chariot.
