Do I need an appointment?

No. We're walk-in only, so just stop by anytime during open hours and we'll get you set up. Your first visit takes a few extra minutes so we can create your account and talk through your goals.

What do the levels mean?

Our levels run from 1 to 7. Each step up brings more advanced beds and lamps, with more comfort features and typically shorter sessions. Most guests start at Level 2, our recommended starting point.

Want to compare? The Tan Tour lets you try Levels 2 through 7 for only $48.95.

Is there an age requirement?

You must be 18 or older with a valid photo ID to tan. Guests 16 to 17 may tan with a parent or guardian's consent, signed in person at the salon. Guests under 16 can't use UV tanning equipment, per Indiana law.

What should I wear or bring?

Every room is private, so tan in whatever you're comfortable in.

Eye protection is required for every UV session, and it's on us: we provide complimentary single-use eye protection at every visit. Prefer goggles? Grab your own pair for only $2.79. They're made right here in Fort Wayne, and they're yours to keep and bring every time.

Why use indoor tanning lotion?

Indoor tanning is different from tanning outdoors, and your skin care should be too. Indoor lotions are professionally formulated for tanning beds to keep skin hydrated and help you get the most from every session. We carry trusted, industry-leading brands like Australian Gold, Designer Skin, California Tan, and Swedish Beauty. Please skip outdoor sunscreens and oils, since they can damage the bed's acrylic.

Hydration is everything. Well-moisturized skin tans more evenly and holds color longer. Moisturize before your session and especially after, and drink plenty of water after your visit. Hydrating inside and out helps you get the most from every tan.

Make your tan last. Along with tanning intensifiers, we carry tan-extending moisturizers that help your color last, so you get more from every visit. Tell us your goals and we'll point you to the right products. VIP members save 25% on full-size products.

How often can I tan?

Every guest must wait at least 24 hours between UV tanning sessions. When you're just starting out, give your skin a little more time between visits. We'll help you build a schedule that fits your skin type.

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red light that reach beneath the skin's surface. It's UV-free, painless, and genuinely relaxing, and research shows real results for skin. In a controlled study of 136 people using full-body red light units, those who completed 30 twice-weekly sessions saw smoother, better-toned skin and a measurable increase in collagen density compared with a control group.

Pair it with your tan. Because red light is UV-free, you can enjoy it in the same visit as your tanning session, and many of our guests do both. Results build with regular sessions, which makes Red Light VIP ($31.88/mo) our best value for red light regulars. Single sessions are $11, or $6 on Thursdays.

How does VIP billing work?

There's no contract and no sign-up fee. When you join, you pay only for the days until the 15th. After that, your membership renews once a month on the 15th. Want to cancel? Just stop by the front desk. Cancellations are handled in person so we can have you sign a quick form.

How do 30-day unlimited plans work?

Your 30 days start on your first tan, not the day you buy. Just start within 60 days of purchase.
