Direct answer
Tan Your Hide Locations and Availability: budget $42–$72 per service. Anything below $42 in the documented set is an add-on or a partial service rather than a full appointment, and anything above $72 comes down to an extended or premium booking.
The single most helpful habit is to ask for the service name and the tier together. "UV bed - level 1" on its own can map to three different prices on the same menu.
- Working range
- $42–$72
- U.S. market midpoint
- $11 per session
- Basis
- 3 price points documented from official sources

What the brand actually publishes
These 3 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 separated here.
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Natural spray tan | $42 | $42 | — | Tan Your Hide |
| Services starting price | $72 | $72 | — | Official offers page; service/program dependent |
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spray-tan membership | $64 | $64 | — | Tan Your Hide |

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. They tell you where a quote lands nationally.
| 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 cheaper; 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
Before deciding a quote is high, check it against your own market rather than the national number. A $16 quote is costly in a tier-4 market and unremarkable in tier 1.
| 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 |
Your own market may sit between tiers. The point is the 2.5x spread, not the exact figure in any one row.
Six things that decide what you pay
Ranking these matters. Most of us compare the headline price of two salons and overlook the next few lines below it that end up setting the bill.
- 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.

Gratuity, converted from percentages into money
Tip on the pre-tax service amount. If a discount or promotion applied, the norm is to tip on the original value of the work, not the discounted price.
| 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 |
- Card tips may be pooled or delayed to the next pay run. Ask if you want it to reach one person directly.
- An automatic service charge ought to be disclosed when you book. If you see one at checkout, ask whether it reaches the provider before adding more.
- At a resort or hotel spa, check for an automatic service charge before adding a second gratuity on top.
- If the salon owner performed the service, tipping is optional by convention - though rarely refused.
Avoid these before you book
Ordered by how frequently they happen rather than dollar impact. All of them are solved at the booking stage.
- 1Buying lotion at the counter without checking the pricecosts $25–$90
The single largest surprise on a first visit.
- 2Joining before checking the freeze policycosts $60–$300
A plan you cannot pause bills through the off-season.
- 3Not asking about the enrolment or annual feecosts $15–$60
Charged in addition to the monthly rate at most chains.
- 4Assuming the membership covers every bedcosts $10–$40
Higher-level beds are usually an upgrade in addition to the plan.

The booking script, word for word
Ask these at booking rather than on arrival. Once you are gowned and in the chair, declining an add-on becomes socially much harder — which is exactly why that is when they are raised.
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed separately?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
- "What is the precise price for uv bed - level 1 at my hair length and density?"
Then do one thing at checkout: ask for an itemised receipt. If a line appears that you were not told about, that is the moment to raise it — not after you have left.
From menu price to what you actually hand over
Work it forwards once and you will never be caught out again. A $56 service does not cost $56.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $56 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $9 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $65 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 6.6% | $4.29 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 22% | $14.30 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $83.59 | 49% above the menu price |
An illustration built from the ranges on this page. Your tax rate and add-on choices will differ.
Takeaway: budget $84 when the board says $56. The difference is $28.

The real annual cost of keeping this up
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.
The cheapest lever is almost always stretching the cadence, not finding a lower-priced provider. Moving from 40 visits annually to 30 saves about $132 annually — normally more than switching salons would.
When a membership actually beats paying per visit
Ignore the marketing and do one division. If the plan costs more than your sensible monthly visit count × $11, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $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 |
Uses a $11 market per-visit rate. Substitute the rate you were actually quoted.
You can run your own break-even against your actual visit count.
Your other options, and when each wins
Before deciding, it is worth seeing where this lands against the nearest alternatives on both price and what you get for it.
