Direct answer
Image Sun Tanning Centers Spray Tan Prices: budget $19.99–$65 per service. Anything below $19.99 in the documented set is an add-on or a partial service rather than a full appointment, and anything above $65 comes down to an extended or premium booking.
The menu price is seldom the checkout price. Tax and gratuity alone usually add 24% in addition to spray tan (booth), before any add-on is accepted at the chair.

Market ranges: what everyone else charges
A quote well above these bands is not automatically bad value - it typically means a different scope, a senior provider, or an expensive metro. This table tells you which question to ask.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spray tan (booth) | $25 | $45 | $75 | per session | Booth is lower-priced; hand airbrush costs more. |
| 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. |
| Unlimited tanning membership | $20 | $45 | $110 | per month | Tier determines bed access and spray inclusions. |
These bands describe the national market, not this page's subject. Use them to judge whether a quote is sensible, not as a price you can book.
Regional price bands for this service
Rent and wages flow straight into the menu. Applying published metro cost bands to the $45 national median for spray tan (booth) gives the following planning ranges.
| Market tier | Planning range | Multiplier | Example markets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 - highest-cost metros | $61–$79 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $50–$59 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $42–$50 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $31–$42 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Your own market may sit between tiers. The point is the 2.5x spread, not the exact figure in any one row.
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 you are in the chair.
- Contract term and freeze ruleschanges the contract, not the price
Minimum terms and freeze policies change the true cost.
- Membership tier+$15–$70
Each tier unlocks a different set of beds and spray inclusions.
- Enrolment or annual fee+$15–$60
Charged on top of the monthly rate at many chains.
- Lotion purchase+$25–$90
The largest and least-expected line on a first visit.
- Bed level+$8–$40
Level 1 through level 5 is the primary price ladder.

The sensible total, worked through
Work it forwards once and you will never be caught out again. A $40 service does not cost $40.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $40 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $8 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $48 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 8.2% | $3.94 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $9.60 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $61.54 | 54% above the menu price |
Worked at a $40 base with one add-on. Swap in your own quote and the proportions hold.
The rule of thumb: add approximately 54% to any menu price for spray tan (booth) to get your realistic out-the-door number.
To check a specific quote, do this with your own quote.
Annual cost of ownership
A single $45 appointment is easy to justify. Maintained every 10-14 days in season, spray tan (booth) becomes a $648 annual commitment at the national median — and that is the number worth deciding on.
| Provider level | Each visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $25 | 12 | $300 | $60 | $360 |
| National median | $45 | 12 | $540 | $108 | $648 |
| Premium provider | $75 | 12 | $900 | $180 | $1,080 |
Assumes 12 visits a year. Change that number and every figure in this table moves with it.
Before hunting a reduction, check the cadence. Going from 12 to 10 visits annually keeps approximately $130 in your pocket at the same quality of work.
Membership break-even: the only maths that matters
Ignore the marketing and do one division. If the plan costs more than your realistic monthly visit count × $45, it loses money. The table shows the crossover for common plan prices.
| Monthly plan | Per-visit rate | Break-even | Annual visits needed | Annual cost | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $63 / month | $45 | 1.4 visits | 17 visits | $756 | Worthwhile above 1.4/month |
| $99 / month | $45 | 2.2 visits | 26 visits | $1,188 | Worthwhile above 2.2/month |
| $144 / month | $45 | 3.2 visits | 38 visits | $1,728 | Worthwhile above 3.2/month |
Break-even = monthly fee / per-visit price. At $45 a visit the maths is simple enough to do at the counter.
You can run your own break-even against your actual visit count.
What to tip, in actual dollars
Percentages are hard to judge in the moment. These are the dollar amounts at the low, middle and high end of the national range.
| Gratuity rate | On $25 | On $45 | On $75 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $3.75 | $6.75 | $11.25 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $4.50 | $8.10 | $13.50 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $5 | $9 | $15 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $6.25 | $11.25 | $18.75 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- 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.
- If the salon owner performed the service, tipping is optional by convention - though rarely refused.
- Card tips may be pooled or delayed to the next pay run. Ask if you want it to reach one person directly.
- If more than one person worked on you, ask reception how tips are split before assuming the lead provider receives all of it.
What people get wrong here
Ranked by frequency rather than how much they cost. In every case the fix is a question at booking.
- 1Joining before checking the freeze policycosts $60–$300
A plan you cannot pause bills through the off-season.
- 2Not asking about the enrolment or annual feecosts $15–$60
Charged in addition to the monthly rate at most chains.
- 3Buying lotion at the counter without checking the pricecosts $25–$90
The single largest surprise on a first visit.
- 4Assuming the membership covers every bedcosts $10–$40
Higher-level beds are usually an upgrade on top of the plan.

What to say on the phone
Read these out. It takes under two minutes and it is the difference between a quote and a surprise. The final question matters most — a written quote settles any dispute at checkout.
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
- "Do you take a deposit, and does it come off the final balance?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed on a separate line?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
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.
Worth comparing before you commit
Before deciding, it is worth seeing where this sits against the nearest alternatives on both price and what you get for it.
