Totally Tan & Spa Prices

Documented price lines, service by service

These 1 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 are produced, so they are kept apart here.

A single location's menu proves nothing about the chain. Check with the location you intend to book.

What the same service costs across the U.S. market

This table is market context, not a brand price list. Use it to judge whether a quote you have been given is typical, low or high for the U.S. in 2026.

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 2 costs in your metro tier

Location is generally the largest single variable. The national median for uv bed - level 2 is $16; the same appointment can land near $11 in a small market and $28 in a top-tier metro. That is a 2.5× spread on an identical service name.

Your own market may sit between tiers. The point is the 2.5x spread, not the exact figure in any one row.

Why your quote differs from the menu

Ranking these matters. Nearly everyone compares the headline price of two salons and ignore the next few lines below it that really determine the bill.

• Add-on product+$20–$80

  Lotion and solution upgrades are offered when you book.

• Service category+$10–$45

  UV, spray and wellness services sit on separate ladders.

• Membership tier+$20–$80

  Tier determines which categories are included.

Tipping: the numbers rather than the etiquette

Working out a percentage on the spot is a nuisance. Below they are converted into actual dollars at the low, middle and high end of the national range.

• At a resort or hotel spa, look for a service charge already applied before adding another tip.
• Card tips may be pooled or delayed to the next pay run. Ask if you want it to reach one person directly.
• 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.
• On a package or prepaid series, tip each visit on the value of that visit rather than once on the whole package.

Five ways to overpay without noticing

These recur constantly in pricing disputes. Each is prevented by one question before the service starts.

   Red light and spa services are typically separate.

The booking script, word for word

Ask these when you book 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.

1. "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed on a separate line?"
2. "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
3. "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
4. "Do you take a deposit, and does it come off the final balance?"
5. "What is the precise price for uv bed - level 2 at my hair length and density?"
6. "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
7. "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each 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.

From menu price to what you actually hand over

Work it forwards once and you will never be caught out again. A $8 service does not cost $8.

Illustrative. The 7.9% tax figure varies by state - several states do not tax personal services at all.

Takeaway: budget $21 when the board says $8. The difference is $13.

To check a specific quote, calculate your own total.

Twelve months of uv bed - level 2, priced out

Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. UV bed - level 2 maintained twice weekly in season works out to roughly $691 per year once gratuity is included.

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

Before hunting a reduction, check the cadence. Going from 36 to 29 visits annually keeps roughly $138 in your pocket at the same quality of work.

Break-even points for monthly plans

A membership is worthwhile above one number: monthly fee ÷ per-visit price. Below that visit count you are subsidising the salon. At a $16 per-visit rate, here is where each plan level breaks even.

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

You can calculate your own break-even against your actual visit count.

How this compares with the alternatives

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