Welcome to Sunlounge Tanning Studio & Spa

The first of its kind to offer a solar powered solution to your tanning needs. Sunlounge believes that taking care for the environment is the first step to taking care of ourselves. We call it "guilt free tanning." Sunlounge offers a select menu of spa services to help you maintain healthy beautiful skin, as well as the latest in UV and UV-Free tanning technology. All you need to do is relax, and feel beautiful.

How tanning works:

Tanning takes place in the skin’s outermost layer called the epidermis where special cells called the melanocytes react to ultraviolet (UV) light. When exposed to UV-B light (short wave UV), melanocytes produce the pigment known as melanin. The pinkish melanin travels up through the epidermis and is absorbed by other skin cells. When exposed to UV-A light (longer wave UV), melanin oxidizes or darkens. This is your skin’s way of protecting itself against too much UV light.

Indoor vs. Outdoor tanning:

Indoor Tanning– with our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to monitor and control UV-A and UV-B exposure so that you can safely tan without burning. This controlled and comfortable environment allows you to easily maintain a healthy tan in under 60 minutes a month, saving you time and money. With the proper care this is the better, safer way to tan.

Outdoor Tanning– exposes you to uncontrolled and often excessive amounts of multi-frequency UV light that can cause “sunburn”, and eventually lead to permanent damage. Climate can also affect your tanning experience with over cast skies or sweltering temperatures that can make tanning uncomfortable, and often impossible to determine if there’s been over-exposure. Therefore, it is important to always wear the proper protection when tanning outdoors.

Smart Tanning:

Skin Protection – Though sunscreen is not needed while tanning in our beds, we always recommend that you properly moisturize to protect your skin from dryness and damage that occurs from UV exposure. Sunlounge offers quality products to aid in the acceleration of your tan, and to also properly maintain healthy skin.

Eye Protection – Lip and eye protection are always important. Lips don’t produce melanin, and eyelids are too thin to block UV light. That’s why it’s always important to wear lip balm with sunscreen and protective eye goggles. Sunlounge offers both of these for free to all of our customers.

Medication – Some medications are not recommended while tanning. If you are on any medications please consult your doctor about tanning.
