While I am not in Massachusetts, I hope that I can answer your questions.





As far as finding a salon, I would personally recommend a franchise salon. For example, Planet Beach, Palm Beach Tan, and Sun City Tanning are large chains in my area. Franchises seem to put the most money in training their employees so that they can offer knowledge to their clients. I also get the best service from these companies.





How well you tan indoors really depends on how well you tan outside. If you tend to burn, then the tanning salon associate will need to take that into consideration before letting you tan your first time. I typically let fair skinned clients tans for a low amount of time on their visit. For example, in our Level 2 bed with facial lamps that has a 15 minute maximum, I would allow them to tan no more than 8 minutes. After a few visits, I would increase their time according to their results.





As with outdoor tanning, it is IMPERATIVE that you use protective eyewear. Your eyes can suffer severe and irreversible damage when exposed to UV light. Please buy the eyewear that the salon provides.





When developing your tan, you will see about 80% more result from using an indoor tanning lotion. These lotions have ingredients that stimulate the melanin in your skin, which creates your tan. These can be purchased at your salon and range from $20 - $120 per bottle. You can find a great lotion in the $30-$40 range, so don't be pressured into spending a ton of money on your first visit. I would personally recommend these lotions from the following lines if you have not tanned indoors before:





Bloom or Worship by Designer Skin


Hempz Accelerator or Hydroponic Bronzer by Supre


Frosted Hemp by Swedish Beauty


Hot! by Australian Gold





These brands are carried at most salons nationwide. If your salon offers other brands, stick to an accelerator or something with no more than a triple bronzer for your first time tanning.





Cost differs across the country. At my salon, we have 3 levels of tanning and offer the following prices for monthly, unlimited tanning.





Level 1 - Basic Tanning Bed - 20 min. Max - $35/mo


Level 1 - Students 12th Grade and Under - $25/mo


Level 2 - Bronzing Bed w/ Facials - 15 min. Max - $55/mo


Level 3 - Bronzing Bed or Stand Up - 15 min. Max - $70/mo





Whew. I hope this helps. Good luck and remember that tanning is better when done in moderation. Take time off between visits to allow yourself to really see your results.Wheres the BEST tanning salon in Massachusetts?
