Bronzed Bunny vs Zoom Tan

Official published amounts and what each covers

12 documented amounts, split into services, add-ons, plans and policy charges. Each keeps the precise label it was published under so you can match it against the menu you are shown when you book.

A single location's menu proves nothing about the chain. Verify locally before booking.

What the same service costs across the U.S. market

Context, not a price list. The point of these numbers is to tell you whether the quote in front of you is routine for the U.S. in 2026.

These bands describe the national market, not this page's subject. Use them to judge whether a quote is reasonable, not as a price you can book.

What uv bed - level 1 costs in your metro tier

Location is typically the largest single variable. The national median for uv bed - level 1 is $11; the same appointment can land near $8 in a small market and $19 in a top-tier metro. That is a 2.5× spread on an identical service name.

Bands scale the $11 national median by published metro cost multipliers. Planning ranges, not quotes.

The variables that move the number

All of these can be declined in the sense that you can turn down it — but only if you know it is coming before the appointment starts.

• Contract term and freeze ruleschanges the contract, not the price

  Minimum terms and freeze policies change the true cost.

• Bed level+$8–$40

  Level 1 through level 5 is the primary price ladder.

• Membership tier+$15–$70

  Each tier unlocks a different set of beds and spray inclusions.

• Enrolment or annual fee+$15–$60

  Charged in addition to the monthly rate at many chains.

• Lotion purchase+$25–$90

  The largest and least-expected line on a first visit.

Exactly what to ask when you book

You do not need to negotiate. You need the price to be stated before the service starts. These questions do that without any awkwardness.

1. "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
2. "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
3. "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
4. "What is the exact price for uv bed - level 1 at my hair length and density?"
5. "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
6. "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed on a separate line?"
7. "Is there a first-visit offer or a package rate I should know about?"

And when you pay: read the itemised receipt line by line. Unexpected charges are nearly always fixable at the desk and almost never fixable later.

Menu price versus final bill

Every line below is normal and expected. None of it is a scam — but almost none of it appears on the menu board either.

An illustration built from the ranges on this page. Your tax rate and add-on choices will differ.

The rule of thumb: add approximately 65% to any menu price for uv bed - level 1 to get your realistic out-the-door number.

You can run the numbers for your own service rather than doing this by hand.

Twelve months of uv bed - level 1, priced out

Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. UV bed - level 1 maintained twice weekly in season works out to roughly $528 per year once gratuity is included.

Cadence comes down to typical maintenance intervals. Your own interval is the biggest variable.

Before hunting a reduction, check the cadence. Going from 40 to 32 visits per year keeps around $106 in your pocket at the same quality of work.

Is the monthly plan worthwhile?

A membership is worth it above one number: monthly fee ÷ per-visit price. Below that visit count you are subsidising the salon. At a $11 per-visit rate, here is where each plan level breaks even.

Excludes enrolment and annual fees. Add those before comparing plans over twelve months.

Before signing, test this against your real visit count.

Gratuity, converted from percentages into money

Working out a percentage on the spot is a nuisance. Below they are converted into actual dollars at the low, middle and high end of the national range.

• Cash gets to the provider quickest and is still preferred in most independent studios.
• Missed-appointment charges are penalties rather than services. It is not tipped.
• Holiday tipping is a separate norm from per-visit tipping and is generally a one-off larger amount.
• Card tips may be pooled or delayed to the next pay run. Ask if you want it to reach one person directly.

Avoid these ahead of booking

Each of these is common, avoidable, and has a dollar figure attached. Not one requires negotiation — just one question asked at the right time.

1. 1Assuming the membership covers every bedcosts $10–$40

   Higher-level beds are usually an upgrade in addition to the plan.

2. 2Joining before checking the freeze policycosts $60–$300

   A plan you cannot pause bills through the off-season.

3. 3Not asking about the enrolment or annual feecosts $15–$60

   Charged on top of the monthly rate at most chains.

4. 4Buying lotion at the counter without checking the pricecosts $25–$90

   The single largest surprise on a first visit.
