Direct answer
Glo Tanning New Member Offers: budget $5–$99 per service. Anything below $5 in the documented set is an add-on or a partial service rather than a full appointment, and anything above $99 comes down to an extended or premium booking.
Two things decide what you actually pay for uv bed - level 1: which tier of provider performs it, and which add-ons are treated as standard rather than optional at that location.

The numbers that matter
- $5–$99 is the working range for Glo Tanning New Member Offers, from 5 documented amounts.
- The full documented set spans $5–$99 once fees and add-ons are counted.
- The U.S. national median for uv bed - level 1 is $11 per session.
- Add about 29% to any menu price for sales tax and gratuity.
- Maintained twice weekly in season, the annual cost is roughly $528.
- The largest single variable is bed level — level 1 through level 5 is the primary price ladder.
What the brand actually publishes
These 5 lines come from published sources and are grouped by what they actually are. Folding fees into a service list is how misleading "average" figures are produced, so they are listed separately.
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Membership freeze fee | $5 | $5 | — | Glo Tanning |
| Lux One membership | $19.95 | $19.95 | — | Glo Tanning |
| Luxury membership | $69 | $69 | — | Glo Tanning |
| Family Luxury membership | $99 | $99 | — | Glo Tanning |
| Family membership | $99 | $99 | — | Glo Tanning |
Franchisees price within a corporate range rather than to a fixed card. Read them as examples, not a rate card.
U.S. market ranges for comparison
Use this as a sanity check. If your quote lands outside this range, ask what is included before concluding it is poor value — scope differences explain most outliers.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UV bed - level 1 | $6 | $11 | $18 | per session | Base-level bed, longest exposure time. |
| UV bed - level 2 | $10 | $16 | $26 | per session | Faster bronzing bed. |
| UV bed - level 3 | $15 | $23 | $36 | per session | High-pressure or hybrid equipment. |
| UV bed - level 4/5 | $22 | $34 | $55 | per session | Top-tier beds and stand-ups. |
| Spray tan (booth) | $25 | $45 | $75 | per session | Booth is less expensive; hand airbrush costs more. |
| Unlimited tanning membership | $20 | $45 | $110 | per month | Tier decides bed access and spray inclusions. |

Where you live changes the price more than anything else
Rent and wages flow straight into the menu. Applying published metro cost bands to the $11 national median for uv bed - level 1 gives the following planning ranges.
| Market tier | Planning range | Multiplier | Example markets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 - highest-cost metros | $15–$19 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $12–$15 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $10–$12 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $8–$10 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Derived by applying regional cost-of-doing-business multipliers to the $11 national median. Treat as a sanity check on a quote you have been given.
Why your quote differs from the menu
All of these can be declined in the sense that you can refuse it — but only if you know it is coming before the appointment starts.
- Membership tier+$15–$70
Each tier unlocks a different set of beds and spray inclusions.
- 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.
- 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.

Twelve months of uv bed - level 1, priced out
The per-visit price hides the real decision. At twice weekly in season, this service costs about $528 a year including gratuity if you pay national median rates.
| Provider level | Each visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $6 | 40 | $240 | $48 | $288 |
| National median | $11 | 40 | $440 | $88 | $528 |
| Premium provider | $18 | 40 | $720 | $144 | $864 |
Gratuity is included at 20% because it is expected rather than optional. Deduct it if you track tips apart from service spend.
Before hunting a reduction, check the cadence. Going from 40 to 32 visits annually keeps approximately $106 in your pocket at the same quality of work.
Membership break-even: the only maths that matters
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.
| Monthly plan | Per-visit rate | Break-even | Annual visits needed | Annual cost | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15 / month | $11 | 1.4 visits | 16 visits | $180 | Worthwhile above 1.4/month |
| $24 / month | $11 | 2.2 visits | 26 visits | $288 | Worthwhile above 2.2/month |
| $35 / month | $11 | 3.2 visits | 38 visits | $420 | Worthwhile above 3.2/month |
Excludes enrolment and annual fees. Add those before comparing plans over twelve months.
You can test this against your real visit count against your actual visit count.
How much to tip on this service
Percentages are awkward to compute at the counter. These are the dollar amounts at the low, middle and high end of the national range.
| Gratuity rate | On $6 | On $11 | On $18 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $0.90 | $1.65 | $2.70 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $1.08 | $1.98 | $3.24 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $1.20 | $2.20 | $3.60 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $1.50 | $2.75 | $4.50 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- Cash gets to the provider quickest and is still preferred in most independent salons.
- Missed-appointment charges are penalties rather than services. It is not tipped.
- 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.
- 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.
Mistakes that cost real money
All five are common, avoidable and quantified. Not one requires negotiation — just one question asked at the right time.
- 1Buying lotion at the counter without checking the pricecosts $25–$90
The single largest surprise on a first visit.
- 2Not asking about the enrolment or annual feecosts $15–$60
Charged in addition to the monthly rate at most chains.
- 3Assuming the membership covers every bedcosts $10–$40
Higher-level beds are usually an upgrade in addition to the plan.
- 4Joining before checking the freeze policycosts $60–$300
A plan you cannot pause bills through the off-season.

The booking script, word for word
You do not need to negotiate. You need the price to be stated before the service starts. These questions do that without any awkwardness.
- "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
- "What is the exact price for uv bed - level 1 at my hair length and density?"
- "Is there a first-visit offer or a package rate I should know about?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
One more at the desk: ask for the itemised total before you tap the card. Every line should match something you were told about on the phone.
From menu price to what you actually hand over
Work it forwards once and you will never be caught out again. A $47 service does not cost $47.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $47 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $9 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $56 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 7.4% | $4.14 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 18% | $10.08 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $70.22 | 49% above the menu price |
Worked at a $47 base with one add-on. Swap in your own quote and the proportions hold.
Takeaway: budget $70 when the board says $47. The difference is $23.
To check a specific quote, calculate your own total.
Your other options, and when each wins
Price alone seldom settles it. Line up the inclusions first — what is actually included — and only then the price.
