Which sunbed

Not all sunbeds are the same.

We use megaSun – the most advanced sunbed technology available. Cooling systems, hybrid lighting, and precision UV control are built into every bed. As a first-timer, you don't need to know the technical details – that's our job. We'll walk you through the options, match you to the right bed for your skin type, and set everything up before you go in.

Responsible tanning

What responsible tanning means here.

We don't cut corners. Your first visit starts with a consultation, and your sunbed time is set to suit your skin. We follow UK responsible tanning guidance, and we are a member of The Sunbed Association. If a session isn't right for your skin, we'll always tell you.

Yes, you can – if your session time isn’t set correctly for your skin type. That’s exactly why we assess every first-timer before they go in. Starting too long, too soon is the most common mistake people make at other studios. We make sure it doesn’t happen here.

For most skin types, you’ll notice a subtle colour change after your first session. Skin types 2 should expect a gradual build across several sessions. Olive and darker skin types (3–5) typically see results sooner. Consistency is what builds a real, even result – one session gives you a start, not a tan.

It depends entirely on your skin type and which bed you’re using. First sessions typically range from 3 to 8 minutes. We set this for you – you don’t need to guess or decide.

Always. Closing your eyes is not enough protection – UV passes through eyelids. No goggles, no session.

If you’re a Fitzpatrick Type 1, sunbed use isn’t suitable for your skin – we’ll tell you this at assessment and won’t put you in a bay. We’ll always be honest with you.

Whatever you’re comfortable with. Your bay is private and locked. Always wear goggles. And cover any areas you don’t want tanned.

Yes, but UV can gradually fade tattoo ink over time. We recommend protecting tattoos during sessions, and we stock a specialist tattoo-protection cream at The Tan Station salon that’s designed specifically for this. Pick one up at the desk before you go in.

UK guidance sets a minimum of 24 hours between sessions. For first-timers, we recommend 48 hours. We follow this without exception. This allows your skin to fully process each session before the next – skipping that gap doesn’t speed things up, it just increases risk.
