Need to bring glasses or anything?
Should I skip out on makeup before I go?

You don't have answer all these q's, I just need some general info. Any other suggestions would be great.

Answer 1

u can wear whatever u want for the tanning-underwear, bikini, nude, whatever, & no, no one will see u because the room with the bed is for your personal use during your session...i personally prefer tanning nude, because i don`t like tan lines...it`s advisable to make an appointment, to ensure that u don`t have to wait, because the salons tend to be very busy this time of year, plus actually some places do not allow walk-ins...u might get sweaty, depending on your heat tolerance & whether the salon has their air conditioning going, etc...your 1st session will probably be very short, about 5 min. or so, unless u already have a base tan...u will need eye protection, which some salons provide, but u might have to buy your own...no makeup, because otherwise your face will not tan as well...there are different kinds of beds & tanning lotions available & the salon staff can help u choose which ones are the best for u personally...don`t forget to exfoliate & moisturize your skin to help keep your color looking nice...hydrated skin tans better & lessens the development of wrinkles...hope this helps!!! happy tanning!!!

You don't usually need an appointment, but call first and check. You can wear makeup if you have it on already, but I would remove it before you actually tan--it can make your color uneven. Most tanning salons have an area with deodorant, babywipes to remove lotion and makeup, etc. Just wear your normal clothes when you go, or lounge clothes that are easy to take on and off, because you will need to change when you are in the private room they assign to you. They should be easy to take off because sometimes the beds have timers and they start up after 5 minutes or so. You need all that time to put on lotion and get in the tanning booth or bed (depending on the equipment at the salon). If you don't mind some hidden tan lines, I would wear a bathing suit or underwear unless you want your "entire" body to touch the bed, but that's personal preference. You usually do sweat a little while tanning. They'll probably start you out going for 5-10 minutes to get a base tan, and then gradually increase as you want to build color. Just do it in moderation so you don't look fake!

Anything. When your accually tanning, you can wear a bikini or your underwear or nothing up to you. No they should have locks on there doors. You dont always have to make an app. Yes you will get sweaty depending on how long you go. You Go however miany mins you want. I suggest start off with 5 to 10 mins depending on skin type. You shouldnt have to bring glasses they should have them, they will tell you that you need them but has long as you close your eyes you will be fine. If you do wear them you will come out with white circles around your eyes, and you will look like a racoon LOL. Funny but true! NO MAKE UP or your face with not tan. I have been going to the tanning bed for 7 years. If your not 18 or over you will need a parent to sign the consent forms! I will tell you a secret that most people dont know, before you go DONT wear tanning lotion, it clogs the pores and will make you not tan as fast. But before you go take a HOT wet wash cloth and wip your whole body. Then when you get home use a LITTLE bit of regular lotion to keep your skin moist. But Not to much! Also shave your legs before you go if you shave after tanning or the day after your tan that you got from that day or the night before comes off, because you take a lil layer of skin off when you shave. You at least have to go 3 to 4 days a week to keep your tan and it takes about a week to see results. I hope this helps which I know it will. Happy Tanning!

Answer 4

1. wear whatever you want I find a thong and nipple covers or as they call the tan line stickers.
2. Not unless you open the door and say look at me(LOL). (BTW put a quality tan lotion on 30-45 min. before you go, ask where ever you go what the recommend)
3. Not all places need appointment I recommend a walk in place the change the bulbs the most( I suggest a chain).
4. Most tanning beds now have built in fans, those who don't provide a fan in the room, put it in the middle on rotation.
5.They start you out at 15 min. unless you have very fair skin then it will be less.
6. They provide the eye wear.
7. NO MAKEUP AT ALL

Answer 5

1: you should probably wear a bathing suit to tan b/c the skin that usually isnt exposed to the sun (ex - your behind) will get burned-trust me

2: use a lotion they sell these at the tanning salons, they help you tan quicker and more evenly, but do not get one with a tingler in it, b/c it will sting- regular sun screen , is a no

3: put on lotion once you are in the tanning room

4: try 10 minutes for your first few times, then work your way up a minute or so every 5 or 6 tans

5: they supply you with special tanning goggles

6: yes u will sweat a little, but the tanning bed should have fans built in that u can turn on or off

7: skip the makeup if you can , but it wont hurt you

8: no one will see you in the bed, you should have your own private room

Answer 6

Well all tanning salons are different.

You can wear your under garments or swim suit, go naked it's all acceptable
no one will see you. each tanning bed is in its' own individual rooms that locks
some may require an appointment. others accept walk-ins
depends on how long you go. you may get sweaty more than likely
you pick how many minutes you want to be in the bed
some provide goggles and others you bring your own
it's better if you don't wear make-up but it's not required

also most ask that you dont use outdoor suntan oils

Answer 7

If you mean a uv tan then its usually just you in a cubicle so no one will see you, some places provide goggles or you can purchase them there. You dont usually need appointments where as with a fake tan you would need one. You can also get cubicle ones if you choose spray tan. A manual tan you would have someone do it for you therefore see you in just you pants.You need to exfoliate before these. In all cases you should avoid make up and other products.

Answer 8

You get your own personal cubicle/room , no one will see you, and don't wear any makeup, also, you should know how long to tan depending on you skin(fair, burns easy.etc.)....also, put sunscreen on 30 minutes before you go, so you won't develop a skin cancer, or that bad of a sunburn.have fun=]

Answer 9

skip the make-up don't bring glasses they usually supply you with goggles and start off slow 10 minutes. Most people tan naked but I cover the bottom. don't need skin cancer there

Answer 10

Wear anything.
You'll be put in your own room, personal room, you lock it. You could undress fully and hop in, Or bra and panties.
20 minutes is usually good enough, 15 for starters.
They give you glasses.
Don't wear makeup.
