Electric Beach Tanning Membership Cancellation

Official published amounts and what each covers

Everything below was published by a source listed at the foot of this page. Grouping matters: 5 of these 6 lines are actual services and the rest are add-ons, plans or policy charges that should never be averaged together.

Published prices change without warning. The review date on this page tells you how current this set is.

How this compares with the wider U.S. market

This table is market context, not a brand price list. It exists so you can tell whether a quote you have been given is typical, low or high for the U.S. in 2026.

Compiled national figures for context only. No brand on this page has published these numbers, and none of them is a bookable rate.

The same service, four different markets

Before deciding a quote is high, check it against your own market rather than the national number. A $68 quote is costly in a tier-4 market and unremarkable in tier 1.

Derived by applying regional cost-of-doing-business multipliers to the $45 national median. Treat as a sanity check on a quote you have been given.

Six things that decide what you pay

Every one of these is optional in the sense that you can decline it — but only if you know it is coming before you are in the chair.

• Lotion purchase+$25–$90

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

• 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.

• Bed level+$8–$40

  Level 1 through level 5 is the primary price ladder.

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

  Minimum terms and freeze policies change the true cost.

Is the monthly plan worthwhile?

The honest test is your sensible visit count, not your intended one. Most of us overestimate by 30–50%. Take the number below and check it against how you behaved last quarter.

Uses a $16 market per-visit rate. Substitute the rate you were actually quoted.

Before signing, calculate your own break-even.

Gratuity, converted from percentages into money

Two rules do most of the work: tip on the service before tax, and tip the person who performed it.

• On a $45 service, the gap between an 18% and a 20% tip is $0.90. It matters less than whether you tip at all.
• Tip the same on a redo as on the original if the redo was not the provider's fault - and speak to management rather than the provider if it was.
• Holiday tipping is a separate norm from per-visit tipping and is usually a one-off larger amount.
• A tip is for the work performed, not for the price you were charged. Do not penalise a provider for a menu they did not set.

Mistakes that cost real money

These are the errors that show up repeatedly in pricing complaints. Each is prevented by one question up front rather than at checkout.

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

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

2. 2Not asking about the enrolment or annual feecosts $15–$60

   Charged in addition to the monthly rate at most chains.

3. 3Joining before checking the freeze policycosts $60–$300

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

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

   The single largest surprise on a first visit.

The booking script, word for word

Read these out. The whole thing takes a minute or two and they are the difference between a quote and a surprise. The final question matters most — a written quote settles any dispute at checkout.

1. "What is the precise price for unlimited tanning membership at my hair length and density?"
2. "Do you take a deposit, and does it come off the final balance?"
3. "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
4. "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
5. "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
6. "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
7. "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"

At checkout: check the itemised total against the quote before paying. Corrections are simple at the desk and nearly impossible afterwards.

The realistic total, worked through

This is the gap that surprises people. Starting from a $18 base, here is where the money goes by the time the card is out.

Illustrative. The 7.9% tax figure varies by state - several states do not tax personal services at all.

Takeaway: budget $34 when the board says $18. The difference is $16.

To check a specific quote, do this with your own quote.

Annual cost of ownership

The per-visit price hides the real decision. At billed monthly, this service costs about $540 a year including gratuity if you pay national median rates.

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

Before hunting a lower-priced provider, look at the interval. One fewer visit per year is about $54 kept; two fewer is $108. Neither costs you any quality.

Your other options, and when each wins

Price alone seldom settles it. Compare scope first — what is actually included — before you look at the figure.
