    Default hollywood tans

    ok, i officially love this place. for unlimited monthly tanning, which includes any beds ranging from regular, diff types of higher power, and high pressure (all stand up) it was $60. around here, that isnt bad at all. if you go 3 times a week that works out to $5 a session. i have to stay with them for at least 3 months before i can cancel, but it's worth it. i also got a free bottle of lotion (theyre the lower priced ones, but i got a $40 bottle free) when i signed up, and the girl was so helpful! i did the high pressure for 12 mins (max is 15) and i got color already (if you saw my thread about not being able to tan, im super excited!) the salesgirl told me that if i do 3 sessions i'll get a pretty good base tan, and then i'll only have to really go once a week to keep it up and it looks like you were vacationing in the carribbean!

    i just wanted to rave about this place!

    Gee. it does?? I had no idea. Next you are going to tell me smoking is bad for you and tequila isnt health food.

    We KNOW. And some of us are allergic to spray tans.

    Dang! This is a thread where people don't want to be lectured about the horrible effects of tanning. We already know. You'd have to have the brain of a walnut not to have noticed the news stories. WE KNOW WE KNOW WE KNOW WE KNOW!

    I know you're just trying to help 242 But, this is a thread about tanning, yall can go talk about how bad it is in the anti tanning threads.

    Britt, have you tried tanning and following that with a self tanner to get yourself super dark? I know this isn't a thread to bitch about cancer, but 3x a week is a lot to be tanning. Not even talking cancer wise, you don't wanna be super wrinkly in 10 years! I still hit the tanning beds too, but I try to minimize future damage by wearing spf on my face and combining it with self tanner at home. It gets me super dark too and I feel the less time I spend in the bed, the better.

    I still love tanning and you can get a wicked fake tan if you are putting it on top of a base tan. Plus the darker you are, the harder it is to see mistakes!

    I'm glad you found a salon where you are actually getting results. I hate when I pay to tan and can't even see a difference.

    i knew someone was going to bitch when i started this thread. i. like. to. tan. period.

    LR, i know 3 times is bad.. i just love tanning! it makes me happy. i'll probably lessen either the time or the days once i get dark. i actually just bought the dove energy glow stuff, and i put that on after i tanned monday and i did it today (i just got home). hopefully this stuff will work. it feels sticky though. ick. when i get wrinkles, i plan on getting botox anyway i use moisturizer with sunscreen on my face when i go, too.

    cameron, somebody else said 60 a month was a lot too.. i guess its just expensive around here because that doesnt seem like a lot to me. one salon once i bought a 100 minute package for like 25, and if you did stand up it was $4 each time on top of that, and $5 for the bronzing bed. so even if you got 8 or 9 sessions because you were doing those beds, you paid a lot. theyre all expensive here.. bah. but if im paying a little more and actually getting results this time i am happy

    ^^I love tanning too, I wasn't preaching! If you have any q's on self tanner, feel free to ask. The bed/self-tanner cocktail works great so I just wanted to suggest that to you.

    oh i know you werent! i also get a free spray tan included in that package, and i want to try it. the only problem is that its not like mystic where it sprays you all over. the girl told me it squirts out and then you have to rub it in yourself. i think thats pointless.. plus what about spots you cant reach?

    Girls always say that, but I can totally get my back. Yeah it's a bit awkward, but I manage. Maybe I have long arms? I have no problems getting my back at all with aerosol spray tanner at home. I don't bother paying for it at a salon, I can get just as good a tan at home and I'm already paying them to use the bed! I'd rather save the money.

    We are all getting airbrush tanned next week in Vegas. The kind where the chick comes and does by it hand. I found her on Craigslist, it's $50/person, but with 4 people, she knocked it down to $25/person, which I think is a great deal. Maybe you can get a small group of girls together and do that? Search for "tan" or "tanning" on craiglist under the services section.

    I'll let you know what I think of the airbrush tan when I get back and I'm sure the other girls will too. I'm excited, I've never had it done by hand before! Plus I'm totally pale (for me) right now, which I hate, esp in Vegas.

    ETA: I did the search for you way less results than we got in Vegas

    my tan package is about 60$ too, and that doesn't include the highest quality bed, so i think you got a pretty good deal.

    the place i used to go to cost me about 200$ a month for the standup, cos i had to get a basic package and upgrade every single time i tanned. seriously. it was soooo much money. but i'm picky about the type of bed i use, so it was worth it to me.

    a hollywood tan opened nearby recently. i think i might try it, especially if this one has high pressure beds too.

    there's another place nearby that has some weird sort of moisture treatment i want to try. it's supposed to make your tan better. it's expensive, though.

    i love tanning. i will say, though, a good self-tanner on top of a good tan looks awesome.

    why dont' you try the jergens one? I have used the dove and loreal ones and they both make me sticky and take a while to dry, but I've found the jergens one makes me less sticky and takes less time to dry.

    ^ i've used it. i didnt like it because it smells like tanning, it stinks! and i think it gives you less color.

    LR, thanks! i might have to try that!

    she sells sanctuary, you should def try it out! ive been to 2 diff hollywood tans, and the high pressure beds are diff at each one. one of mine the max is 15 mins, and the other is way stronger so the max is 11. it was SO. HOT. i got out at like 9 mins because i couldnt stand it. plus, you do get a free lotion (like i said, its not great lotion but free lotion nonetheless!) and a free spray tan when you sign up. you cant cancel for at least 3 months though so keep that in mind if you sign up.

    Finally a happy tanning thread! I tan a few times a week in a high pressure bed but wanted to try a spray tan to get even darker. Has anyone tried the Versaspa spray tan?

    http://www.versaspasystem.com/consumerintro/

    My salon just got one and i really want to try it but i`m scared of turning out orange or uneven.

    Ditto. I love the Dove stuff. Yes, it's sticky for a bit, but I think it's worth it once it dries, it's a great color and makes my skin so soft! the Jergens one didn't make my skin soft at all.

    I tan once a week in the super bed, and use the Dove stuff all week long. I usually put it on at night or early in the day, the shower and exfoliate before work and put on a different, nicer smelling lotion. But even on nights I've had to work with my tanning lotion on the Dove on didn't smell too bad.

    I went to this spot called Planet Beach to tan yesterday, I hated it. The girls were snotty and pushy there, stuck me in a great big bed that I said I didn't need, and I didn't even get any color! Bah!

    Sticking to my SunChain tan!

    I would skip the Dove and Jergens daily lotions and go for a regular self tanner if you really want to be dark. Loreal Sublime Bronze was recommended to me on here. I hated the old stuff, but the new stuff dries quick, isn't greasy, and gives great color. I use the deep one immediately after tanning and in between sessions.

    How do you guys think the Dove/Jergens would work to maintain color after regular self tanner?

    total thread drift...:

    does anybody watch Sunset Tan?

    I watch is sometimes! I think it would make sense that the lotions would help to maintain color just for the simple fact that it would moisturize.
