Repeal the Tan Tax

During this COVID-19 pandemic when there is more talk of relief packages coming through Congress, help us out by joining our friends at the American Suntanning Association by writing to our elected officials to repeal the Tan Tax.

COVID has undoubtedly affected small businesses, and this repeal (along with any additional relief bills) would be a relief in and of itself.

Please consider writing our elected officials by contacting info@americansuntanning.org so that they can help you submit letters with ease.

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!

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!

Thanks for voting us your #1 Tanning Salon!

Tropical Tan Winner's Proof

Hi Tropical Tanners! We are so happy and excited to announce that we’ve won FAVORITE of the Four States for Best Tanning Salon! We’ve won every year, and we’re so honored to know that you enjoy our service as much as we enjoy working with you! Thank you for making us #1. We work hard to ensure that you receive the highest quality in customer service, cleanliness, & the most technologically advanced equipment.

Every single one of Tropical Tan’s employees is Smart Tan Certified. We are so serious about providing top-notch service that this certification is a non-negotiable requirement for working here. This certification is necessary because our tanning beds must be adjusted for each session to accommodate the clients’ current skin tone and desired tan level. Our staffers don’t just turn on a timer and push the “on” button. They program a fully customized tanning program every time.

All of this means you can rest assured that you’re receiving the highest quality of sanitation, customer service and the best kept equipment in town! Gyms with tanning do not offer this degree of one-on-one personalization, so you risk developing a painful sunburn instead of a beautiful tan glow. We are also able to give you the best product recommendations for maintaining your color and keeping your skin in good condition. Bad sunburns can lead to permanent damage and we are 100% committed to making sure that never happens to you at Tropical Tan.

We hold ourselves to the highest standards that far exceed the basic requirements for our industry, something that gyms do not do. We care about your skin, educating you on Smart Tanning, and helping you design the right package to meet your tanning needs and your budget. Its so important to build a base tan and to never burn. 

We properly sanitize our tanning beds after every session, something that gyms shockingly do not do. We care about our clients, and your trust is important to us. We would never take advantage of your trust by being lazy about our commitment to quality and service.

A session at Tropical Tan is about more than boosting your skin tone. We take pleasure in giving you the royal treatment so you can unplug from your everyday life and enjoy a few moments of pampering and relaxation. Our clients know that they can depend on us to deliver that experience, which is why they have named us the FAVORITE of the Four States! Keep up to date on all of our latest specials, promotions and contests by liking us on Facebook and registering for our text club.

God bless and make it a great day!
