Direct answer
Palm Beach Tan Add-On Prices: budget $19.99–$139.99 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 $139.99 reflects 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.

How this compares with the wider U.S. market
These are U.S. market ranges compiled from published industry pricing data, not figures published by any single brand. Use them to place a quote against the national picture.
| 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 determines bed access and spray inclusions. |
Market ranges are planning estimates compiled from published U.S. pricing data. They are not quotes and are not attributable to any brand named on this page.
Where you live changes the price more than anything else
Location is usually 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.
| 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 |
Bands scale the $11 national median by published metro cost multipliers. Planning ranges, not quotes.
The variables that move the number
Every one of these is optional 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.
- Enrolment or annual fee+$15–$60
Charged on top of the monthly rate at many chains.
- Bed level+$8–$40
Level 1 through level 5 is the primary price ladder.
- Lotion purchase+$25–$90
The largest and least-expected line on a first visit.

What to say on the phone
You do not need to negotiate. You need the price to be stated before the service starts. These questions do that without any awkwardness.
- "What is the precise price for uv bed - level 1 at my hair length and density?"
- "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?"
- "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed on a separate line?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
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.
Menu price versus final bill
This is the gap that surprises people. Starting from a $74 base, here is where the money goes by the time the card is out.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $74 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $19 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $93 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 6.9% | $6.42 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $18.60 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $118.02 | 59% above the menu price |
An illustration built from the ranges on this page. Your tax rate and add-on choices will differ.
Plan for the total, not the base. The $44 gap between the two is the part people forget when comparing two salons.
Prefer not to do the arithmetic? You can work this out for your precise service.
Annual cost of ownership
Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. UV bed - level 1 maintained twice weekly in season works out to roughly $528 a year once gratuity is included.
| Provider level | Per 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 |
Assumes 40 visits a year. Adjust the visit count and every figure here shifts with it.
Dropping one visit annually saves roughly $13. Dropping the cadence by a quarter saves about $132. Compare that against what you would save by moving to a cheaper provider before you switch.
Is the monthly plan worthwhile?
A membership is worthwhile 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.
| Monthly plan | Per-visit rate | Break-even | Annual visits needed | Annual cost | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15 / month | $11 | 1.4 visits | 16 visits | $180 | Worth it above 1.4/month |
| $24 / month | $11 | 2.2 visits | 26 visits | $288 | Worth it above 2.2/month |
| $35 / month | $11 | 3.2 visits | 38 visits | $420 | Worth it above 3.2/month |
Excludes enrolment and annual fees. Add those before comparing plans over twelve months.
Before signing, test this against your real visit count.
What to tip, in actual dollars
Working out a percentage on the spot is a nuisance. Here they are converted to dollars at the low, middle and high end of the market 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 |
- 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.
- Assistants who shampoo or rinse are regularly tipped on a separate line, typically a few dollars.
- Holiday tipping is a separate norm from per-visit tipping and is generally a one-off larger amount.
- Missed-appointment charges are penalties rather than services. It is not tipped.
What people get wrong here
Ordered by how often they happen rather than dollar impact. The fix in every case is a question when you book.
- 1Joining before checking the freeze policycosts $60–$300
A plan you cannot pause bills through the off-season.
- 2Assuming the membership covers every bedcosts $10–$40
Higher-level beds are typically an upgrade in addition to the plan.
- 3Buying lotion at the counter without checking the pricecosts $25–$90
The single largest surprise on a first visit.
- 4Not asking about the enrolment or annual feecosts $15–$60
Charged in addition to the monthly rate at most chains.
