How long does it take to get tan?

You will see results after your very first session.  It usually takes 4 to 5 sessions (within a 10-day period) to get a base tan.  Read about our Tanning booths to learn which booth is best for you.  Also, we recommend you use our HT Lotions to pamper your skin and maximize your tanning potential.

Do I need to wear eye protection?

Yes. It's very important to us that your tanning experience is as safe and enjoyable as possible. Hollywood Tans requires its customers to use approved eye protection in our salons, to prevent future vision problems that can be caused by UV exposure. 

Why should I use lotion?

Our lotions have been created especially for use in our indoor tanning booths and will keep your skin hydrated and healthy.  Healthy skin will tan more easily and hold on to that beautiful tan longer.

What is a photosensitizing medication?

Some medications cause your skin to be especially sensitive to UV light.  If you are taking any prescription medications, ask your doctor if it is safe for you to tan.  Check out our list of some common photosensitizing medications.  If it is not safe for you to tan, our UV-free Instant Tan, powered by Mystic, is a great alternative.
