Direct answer
Expect $42–$72 at Tan Your Hide Membership Cost. The full documented set runs $42–$72 because it also covers add-ons, policy charges and package pricing. The median across all 3 documented amounts is $64.
Two things decide what you actually pay for unlimited tanning membership: which tier of provider performs it, and which add-ons are treated as standard rather than optional at that location.

Every published amount we could verify
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 |
A price documented for one location does not establish a national rate. Check with the location you intend to book.
What the same service costs across the U.S. market
Use this as a sanity check. If your quote lands outside this range, ask what is included before writing it off — scope differences explain most outliers.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlimited tanning membership | $20 | $45 | $110 | per month | Tier decides bed access and spray inclusions. |
| 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. |
These bands describe the national market, not this page's subject. Use them to judge whether a quote is reasonable, not as a price you can book.
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 $68 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 | $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.
Where the extra money goes
Ask about these when you book, not at checkout. Every one of them is easier to decline before you arrive than halfway through a service.
- 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.
- Lotion purchase+$25–$90
The largest and least-expected line on a first visit.
- Enrolment or annual fee+$15–$60
Charged in addition to the monthly rate at many chains.

What to tip, in actual dollars
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 $20 | On $45 | On $110 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $3 | $6.75 | $16.50 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $3.60 | $8.10 | $19.80 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $4 | $9 | $22 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $5 | $11.25 | $27.50 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- 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.
- Cash reaches the provider fastest and is still preferred in most independent shops.
- At a resort or hotel spa, look for a service charge already applied before adding a second gratuity on top.
- If the salon owner performed the service, tipping is optional by norm - though seldom refused.
Mistakes that cost real money
Ordered by how often they happen rather than dollar impact. The fix in every case is a question when you book.
- 1Assuming the membership covers every bedcosts $10–$40
Higher-level beds are usually an upgrade on top of the plan.
- 2Buying lotion at the counter without checking the pricecosts $25–$90
The single largest surprise on a first visit.
- 3Not asking about the enrolment or annual feecosts $15–$60
Charged in addition to the monthly rate at most chains.
- 4Joining before checking the freeze policycosts $60–$300
A plan you cannot pause bills through the off-season.
If you want the policy detail behind these: Tanning Membership Worthwhile and Spray Tan Membership Worth It.
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 unlimited tanning membership at my hair length and density?"
- "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?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
- "Do you take a deposit, and does it come off the final balance?"
Finally: get the quote on paper. A text or email costs the salon nothing and removes any argument at checkout.
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 6.4% | $4.16 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $13 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Realistic total | $82.16 | 47% above the menu price |
Worked at a $56 base with one add-on. Swap in your own quote and the proportions hold.
Takeaway: budget $82 when the board says $56. The difference is $26.
Prefer not to do the arithmetic? You can try it with your own figures.
What unlimited tanning membership costs you over per year
A single $45 appointment is easy to justify. Maintained billed monthly, unlimited tanning membership becomes a $540 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 | $20 | 12 | $240 | — | $240 |
| National median | $45 | 12 | $540 | — | $540 |
| Premium provider | $110 | 12 | $1,320 | — | $1,320 |
Cadence reflects typical maintenance intervals. Your own interval is the biggest variable.
The cheapest lever is nearly always stretching the cadence, not finding a lower-priced provider. Moving from 12 visits a year to 9 saves about $162 annually — generally more than switching salons would.
Break-even points for monthly plans
Ignore the marketing and do one division. If the plan costs more than your realistic monthly visit count × $16, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $22 / month | $16 | 1.4 visits | 16 visits | $264 | Worthwhile above 1.4/month |
| $35 / month | $16 | 2.2 visits | 26 visits | $420 | Worth it above 2.2/month |
| $51 / month | $16 | 3.2 visits | 38 visits | $612 | Worthwhile above 3.2/month |
Uses a $16 market per-visit rate. Substitute the rate you were actually quoted.
You can run your own break-even against your actual visit count.
