Come See Our New VersaSpa Pro

As a midwinter gift to our loyal customers, we’ve recently introduced the VersaSpa Pro to our lineup of cutting-edge tanning equipment. Since Tropical Tan’s opening three decades ago, we’ve amassed a collection of 30 tanning beds, as well as top-of-the-line spray tanning booths. The VersaSpa Pro represents the latest spray-tan technology, offering four levels of color instead of the usual three. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned self-tanner, our staff is always happy to answer any questions you have about which level could be the right fit for your skin type.

The results of a spray tan typically last about four to five days, but the experts at VersaSpa Pro have designed a range of products to help the results last even longer—at least a full week, in some cases. In addition to their line of moisturizing lotions, they also offer the following tips on how to keep your spray tan from fading early:

  • Shave and exfoliate thoroughly before entering the spray tan booth
  • Wait at least four hours before showering or swimming
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
  • Always moisturize well after showering, bathing, or swimming

Also, don’t forget that Tropical Tan is continuing to run its Valentine’s Day “sweetheart specials” throughout the remainder of February. Why should you stop trying to look your best just because Valentine’s Day is over? Our Smart Tan certified staff is here to help you maintain that golden glow—and the resultant spring in your step—every day of the year.

God bless and make it a great day!

Start Summer with a Tan!

Hi friends! It’s finally summer and you know what that means: it’s tanning season! A base tan goes a long way toward protecting your skin as you develop your natural color in the sunlight. Building up your tan can take a lot of time, and summer could be half over before you’re happy with your color. Trust Tropical Tan to help you reach your perfect shade in a fraction of that time.

To celebrate the start of summer, we’re offering 30% off yearly membership packages. This way, you can keep your summer glow all year long. For the month of June, you can also get our body wrap packages for 30% off. Just a few wrap sessions will give you your best beach body ever! As an added bonus, everyone who buys a yearly membership or infrared wrap package will receive $10 in Tropical Tan Bucks to spend on their next purchase here.

Not all of our best customers are tanning bed regulars. Many of or favorite clients keep returning for our aqua massages or our spray tans. We also have the best local assortment of luxury tanning lotions and body care items. Our clothing and beauty boutique stocks items from both big designers and smaller artisanal labels. We know how much our customers love the beachy, summery look, and we’ve made it our mission to provide you with the skincare, clothing and makeup to work that style.

It is thanks to you that Tropical Tan has evolved from a tanning salon into a multi-faceted lifestyle boutique. Keep an eye on this space for even more great promotions, discounts and contests.

Some Evidence Suggests That Vitamin D May Help Prevent Cancer

Hello beauties! We hope you’re doing well in school and enjoying the fresh fall weather. Halloween is just around the corner, and before you know it, we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving! In the fall and the winter most people are less likely to get enough vitamin D. This is because we spend less time outside in the sunlight.

I bet you didn’t know that high levels of vitamin D are linked to lower rates of cancer. We get most of our vitamin D from food and sunlight. Did you know that you can also get vitamin D from tanning beds? Now you have even more reasons to keep up your regular tanning routine at Tropical Tan! Scientists aren’t quite sure yet how vitamin D fights cancer, but they think it has something to do with its affect on cellular life cycles. Vitamin D has been shown to slow down the growth of cells that could become cancerous, and it may also encourage cells to differentiate and develop in ways that are not conducive to cancerous growths. The benefits of vitamin D are magnified in people who have healthy lifestyle habits, like eating well and exercising regularly.

This is on our minds because we are currently working with Hope4You to raise money to help fight breast cancer. If you donate $2 to the cause, we’ll give you a 10% discount. For $3 you’ll get 15% off, $4 gets you 20% off, and you can get a 25% discount for just $5. We’re happy to offer a huge 30% discount to everyone who donates $10. Every little bit helps, and we expect our Give Breast Cancer the Boot campaign to be our most successful charity drive yet.

Ae’re putting the word out that we have new hours of operation. You can come donate to cancer research and enjoy your own cancer-fighting tanning session during the following times:

  • Monday – Friday: 8:00 A.M. – 9:00 P.M.
  • Saturday: 9:00 A.M. – 7:00 P.M.
  • Sunday: 11:00 A.M. – 6:00 P.M.

Don’t let your tan fade just because the weather’s getting cooler! Tropical Tan helps you stay golden and glowy all year round.

And don’t forget about our boutique clothing collection. We have some adorable fall items.

God bless and make it a great day!

October is Brest Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

At Tropical Tan, we believe in giving back. Our services and products are intended to make people look and feel better, but sometimes that isn’t enough. Most of our customers are women, so women’s causes are very close to our collective heart. Breast cancer is an illness that affects so many of us, and in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we have decided to launch a donation campaign. This cause is dear to our hearts since we have experienced it.

Every little bit helps, and we know that many of our customers are students or young adults who do not always have very much money to spare. To show just how far every dollar goes, we are encouraging all of you to donate just $3 to the cause, with a modest goal of getting an average of $5 for every donation. All the proceeds go to Hope 4 You.

If you make this small donation through Tropical Tan, we will give you 25% off any product or service you purchase that day. If you donate $5 or more, we will give you a bracelet to show our thanks and appreciation. We hope that you will be inspired to donate and to feel how rewarding it is to help others.

<!— We are continuing our partnership with Powerhouse Gym. New customers with valid Powerhouse ID cards will receive $130 in free services if they purchase a yearly membership with us. We are very excited to have joined forces with Powerhouse. Tropical Tan is all about health and wellness, and we are glad to give you an incentive to stave off the “freshman 15” and maintain your figure through the holiday season. —!>

Thanks to all of you for inspiring us to make a positive impact in our little community of Joplin. For the whole month of October, the positive effects of our tans and aqua massages are further amplified by how good you’ll feel after contributing toward a great cause.

God bless and make it a great day!

One last thing, through Halloween we are giving $10 off on spray tans. So don’t forget to get that perfect color for all your Halloween parties with a quick UV free spray tan in our Mystic HD or our Versa Spa.
