Direct answer
Totally Tan & Spa Locations and Availability runs $5–$25 for the services documented below. That figure comes from 2 separate published amounts, not a single quote. The wider set of charges on this page spans $5–$25 once fees, add-ons and package items are included.
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.

Market ranges: what everyone else charges
This table is market context, not a brand price list. Use it to judge 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 decides 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.
What uv bed - level 1 costs in your metro tier
Location is generally 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 |
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
Each of these is negotiable in the sense that you can refuse it — but only if you know it is coming before you are in the chair.
- 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.
- 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 in addition to the monthly rate at many chains.

When a membership actually beats paying each 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 | Worthwhile 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 | Worthwhile above 3.2/month |
Uses a $11 market per-visit rate. Substitute the rate you were actually quoted.
You can test this against your real visit count against your actual visit count.
What to tip, in actual dollars
Percentages are hard to judge in the moment. These are the dollar amounts 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 |
- On a package or prepaid series, tip per visit on the value of that visit rather than once on the whole package.
- If more than one person worked on you, check how gratuity is divided before assuming the lead provider receives all of it.
- Cash reaches the provider fastest and is still preferred in most independent studios.
- 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.
What people get wrong here
Ranked by frequency rather than dollar impact. All of them are solved at the booking stage.
- 1Joining before checking the freeze policycosts $60–$300
A plan you cannot pause bills through the off-season.
- 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 on top of 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.

Exactly what to ask when you book
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 the reason they come up at that moment.
- "Do you take a deposit, and does it come off the final balance?"
- "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 the precise price for uv bed - level 1 at my hair length and density?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed separately?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
Finally: get the quote on paper. A text or email costs the salon nothing and removes any argument at checkout.
The sensible total, worked through
Work it forwards once and you will never be caught out again. A $14 service does not cost $14.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $14 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $8 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $22 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 8.3% | $1.83 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $4.40 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Realistic total | $28.23 | 102% above the menu price |
Illustrative. The 8.3% tax figure varies by state - several states do not tax personal services at all.
The rule of thumb: add roughly 102% to any menu price for uv bed - level 1 to get your realistic out-the-door number.
To check a specific quote, work this out for your precise service.
What uv bed - level 1 costs you over per year
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 |
Assumes 40 visits a year. Every number here scales with that visit count.
The cheapest lever is nearly always stretching the cadence, not finding a less expensive provider. Moving from 40 visits annually to 30 saves about $132 annually — generally more than switching salons would.
