Totally Tan & Spa Prices, Memberships, Fees and Services

Documented price lines, service by service

These 2 lines come from published sources and are grouped by what they actually are. Mixing a cancellation fee into a service price list is how misleading "average" figures get made, so they are kept apart here.

Franchisees price within a corporate range rather than to a fixed card. Read them as examples, not a rate card.

Market ranges: what everyone else charges

These are U.S. market ranges compiled from published industry pricing data, not figures published by any single brand. They show where a given quote lands nationally.

Compiled national figures for context only. No brand on this page has published these numbers, and none of them is a bookable rate.

The same service, four different markets

Rent and wages flow straight into the menu. Applying published metro cost bands to the $45 national median for unlimited tanning membership gives the following planning ranges.

Derived by applying regional cost-of-doing-business multipliers to the $45 national median. Treat as a sanity check on a quote you have been given.

The variables that move the number

Ask about these when you book, not at checkout. Every one of them is easier to decline before you arrive than mid-appointment.

• Add-on product+$20–$80

  Lotion and solution upgrades are offered when you book.

• Membership tier+$20–$80

  Tier decides which categories are included.

• Service category+$10–$45

  UV, spray and wellness services sit on separate ladders.

Gratuity, converted from percentages into money

Tip on the pre-tax service amount. If a discount or promotion applied, the convention is to tip on the original value of the work, not the discounted price.

• A no-show or late-cancellation fee is a penalty, not a service. It is not tipped.
• Do not tip on membership dues, booth rent, deposits, annual fees, gift-card loads or cancellation charges — no service was performed.
• On a package or prepaid series, tip each visit on the value of that visit rather than once on the whole package.
• 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.

Mistakes that cost real money

Ordered by how often they happen rather than how much they cost. The fix in every case is a question at booking.

   Red light and spa services are generally separate.

What to say on the phone

Read these out. They take about ninety seconds and they are the gap between a quote and a surprise. Save the last one for emphasis — a written quote settles any dispute at checkout.

1. "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
2. "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed separately?"
3. "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
4. "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
5. "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
6. "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
7. "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"

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.

The sensible total, worked through

Every line below is routine and expected. None of it is a scam — but almost none of it appears on the menu board either.

Illustrative. The 8.4% tax figure varies by state - several states do not tax personal services at all.

Takeaway: budget $28 when the board says $14. The difference is $14.

To check a specific quote, work this out for your precise service.

Annual cost of ownership

The per-visit price hides the real decision. At billed monthly, this service costs about $540 annually including gratuity if you pay national median rates.

Cadence reflects typical maintenance intervals. Your own interval is the largest variable.

Before hunting a discount, check the cadence. Going from 12 to 10 visits a year keeps roughly $130 in your pocket at the same quality of work.

Membership break-even: the only maths that matters

The honest test is your realistic visit count, not your intended one. Most of us overestimate by 30–50%. Take the number below and check it against how you behaved last quarter.

Break-even = monthly fee / per-visit price. At $16 a visit the maths is simple enough to do at the counter.

Before signing, run your own break-even.

Where else to look

The helpful comparison is like-for-like: same service scope, same provider tier, same market. These pages set the comparisons up that way.
