FAQ

If you’re thinking about visiting a tanning salon for the first time, you will most likely have questions. There are no dumb questions as you need to make sure you have all the accurate information to make the best choice for you. Whether you’re curious about how it works, what to expect, or how to get the best results, we hear the same questions from new clients all the time. So we’re answering them here, honestly and simply, to help you feel more confident walking into your first session.

Is Indoor Tanning Safe?

This is always the first question, and it’s a good one. The key to safe tanning is moderation and smart exposure. At CBT, we help you build your color gradually and always based on your skin type. You’ll never be left to guess what’s safe, we walk you through it from day one.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Most clients start seeing some color after 2 to 4 sessions, depending on their natural skin tone and how frequently they tan. To build a deeper, longer-lasting tan, we usually recommend 6 to 10 sessions spaced out over a few weeks. From there, maintenance tanning once or twice a week keeps your color fresh.

What Should I Do Before My First Session?

We recommend exfoliating your skin the night before and skipping any heavy lotions, perfumes, or makeup before tanning. Clean, dry skin helps you tan more evenly. If you’re doing a spray tan instead of UV tanning, we’ll give you a different prep list. But don’t worry, it’s simple and we’ll give you all the information you need.

Will I Burn?

Not if I can help it. One of the main benefits of going to professional tanning bed salons is that your sessions are tailored to your skin type and tanning experience. You will always start slow and adjust your time and bed as your skin builds tolerance. CBT’s goal is a natural, healthy-looking glow, never overexposure.

Do I Need to Bring Anything?

We have protective eyewear and lotions available if you need them. If you have a favorite tanning lotion, feel free to bring it. Just make sure it’s approved for indoor use. Off label or lotions bought online are often knock offs and you don’t know what you are putting on your body. That’s why we have a variety of lotions to choose from and never an MSRP price.
