Spring Tan Salon

We take the care and protection of our equipment very seriously—and we want to share why our product policy matters so much.

The acrylics in our beds are a major investment. The least expensive one we replace is around $1,200, and the most expensive can reach $4,500. These aren’t just parts—they directly impact the performance, safety, and quality of every session.

Because of that, we only allow non-expired products purchased directly from us to come in contact with our equipment. This helps protect our investment and ensures you’re getting the best possible results every time.

Why does this matter?

Acrylics are designed specifically for tanning environments. When exposed to heat and light, they become slightly porous, allowing up to 99% light pass-through while still maintaining strength (with weight limits around 285 lbs).

When non-salon products are used, a few things can happen:
• They can clog the pores, reducing light output
• They don’t fully clean out of the surface
• They can trap excess heat
• Over time, this leads to micro-cracking, weakening the acrylic and shortening its lifespan

We’ve tried to be flexible in the past—especially in stand-up units—but unfortunately, we’ve had to replace those acrylics too due to damage… even with minimal contact.

Why professional products matter:

Products purchased through us are:
✔ Fresh and properly stored
✔ Sourced through legitimate distributors
✔ Backed by manufacturers
✔ Free from contamination, tampering, or counterfeit risk

Fun fact: many professional lotions actually state they should be purchased through a salon. That’s because manufacturers often won’t stand behind products bought from unauthorized sources or online.

At the end of the day, this policy is about:
✨ Protecting the equipment that delivers your results
✨ Maintaining cleanliness and performance
✨ Preserving the experience we work so hard to provide

The best way to put it?

Bringing your own lotion into a tanning salon is kind of like bringing a Walmart steak to a five-star restaurant and asking the chef to cook it… just doesn’t hit the same 😅

What an AMAZING Tan family we have. We got a bunch of donations to take to Kerrville tomorrow morning. Thank you all for helping out and showing the LoVe ♥️♥️♥️
