What the brand actually publishes
2 documented amounts, split into services, add-ons, plans and policy charges. Each keeps the precise label it was published under so you can match it against the menu you are shown when you book.

U.S. market ranges for comparison
This table is market context, not a brand price list. It exists so you can tell whether a quote you have been given is average, cheap or steep for the U.S. in 2026.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spray tan (booth) | $25 | $45 | $75 | per session | Booth is less expensive; 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 reasonable, 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 precise figure in any one row.
What actually changes your price
Ranking these matters. Most of us compare the headline price of two salons and ignore the four lines below it that really determine the bill.
- Lotion purchase+$25–$90
The largest and least-expected line on a first visit.
- 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 in addition to the monthly rate at many chains.
- Bed level+$8–$40
Level 1 through level 5 is the primary price ladder.

Seven questions that prevent a surprise bill
Read these out. The whole thing takes a minute or two and it is the difference between a quote and a surprise. Save the last one for emphasis — a written quote settles any dispute at checkout.
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
- "What is the exact price for spray tan (booth) at my hair length and density?"
- "Do you take a deposit, and does it come off the final balance?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
And when you pay: read the itemised receipt line by line. Unexpected charges are nearly always fixable at the desk and almost never fixable later.
The sensible total, worked through
Every line below is standard and expected. None of it is a scam — but almost none of it appears on the menu board either.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $52 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $9 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $61 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 8.0% | $4.88 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $12.20 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $78.08 | 50% above the menu price |
An illustration built from the ranges on this page. Your tax rate and add-on choices will differ.
The rule of thumb: add roughly 50% to any menu price for spray tan (booth) to get your realistic out-the-door number.
Swap in your own base price and run the numbers for your own service.
Twelve months of spray tan (booth), priced out
The per-visit price hides the real decision. At every 10-14 days in season, this service costs about $648 a year including gratuity if you pay national median rates.
| 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 |
Gratuity is included at 20% because it is effectively compulsory. Strip it out if you budget gratuity separately.
The lever most of us reach for - switching salons - is generally the weakest one. Moving from the $45 median to the $25 budget end saves $288 a year, but so does just stretching the interval by a quarter.
When a membership actually beats paying per visit
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 | Worth it above 1.4/month |
| $99 / month | $45 | 2.2 visits | 26 visits | $1,188 | Worth it above 2.2/month |
| $144 / month | $45 | 3.2 visits | 38 visits | $1,728 | Worthwhile above 3.2/month |
Uses a $45 market per-visit rate. Substitute the rate you were actually quoted.
Before signing, run your own break-even.
Tipping: the numbers rather than the etiquette
Two rules do most of the work: tip on the service before tax, and tip the person who performed it.
| 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 |
- Do not tip on membership dues, booth rent, deposits, annual fees, gift-card loads or cancellation charges — no service was performed.
- Card tips may be pooled or delayed to the next pay run. Ask if you want it to reach one person directly.
- If the salon owner performed the service, tipping is optional by norm - though seldom refused.
- Cash reaches the provider fastest and is still preferred in most independent studios.
The expensive errors, ranked
These recur constantly in pricing disputes. All of them are fixed by a single question before the service starts.
- 1Assuming the membership covers every bedcosts $10–$40
Higher-level beds are typically an upgrade in addition to 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.
