Direct answer
Totally Tan & Spa UV Tanning Prices: budget $5 per service. Anything below $5 in the documented set is an add-on or a partial service rather than a full appointment, and anything above $5 comes down to an extended or premium booking.
The single most helpful habit is to ask for the service name and the tier together. "UV bed - level 2" on its own can map to three different prices on the same menu.
- Working range
- $5
- U.S. market midpoint
- $16 per session
- Basis
- 1 price points documented from official sources
- Last reviewed
- August 2026

- The U.S. national median for uv bed - level 2 is $16 per session.

U.S. market ranges for comparison
Context, not a price list. The point of these numbers is to tell you whether the quote in front of you is normal for the U.S. in 2026.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Spray tan (booth) | $25 | $45 | $75 | per session | Booth is less expensive; hand airbrush costs more. |
| Red-light session | $15 | $28 | $50 | per session | Wellness service, not a tanning service. |
| Unlimited tanning membership | $20 | $45 | $110 | per month | Tier decides bed access and spray inclusions. |
| 60-minute massage | $70 | $105 | $175 | 60 minutes | Swedish or deep tissue at a day spa. |
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.
The same service, four different markets
Before deciding a quote is high, check it against your own market rather than the national number. A $24 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 | $22–$28 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $18–$21 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $15–$18 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $11–$15 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Bands scale the $16 national median by published metro cost multipliers. Planning ranges, not quotes.
What actually changes your price
All of these can be declined in the sense that you can refuse it — but only if you know it is coming in advance.
- 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.

From menu price to what you actually hand over
This is the gap that surprises people. Starting from a $8 base, here is where the money goes by the time the card is out.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $8 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $8 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $16 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 7.5% | $1.20 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 22% | $3.52 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $20.72 | 159% above the menu price |
Worked at a $8 base with one add-on. Swap in your own quote and the proportions hold.
Plan for the total, not the base. The $13 gap between the two is the part people forget when comparing two salons.
Prefer not to do the arithmetic? You can do this with your own quote.
What uv bed - level 2 costs you over a year
The per-visit price hides the real decision. At twice weekly in season, this service costs about $691 annually including gratuity if you pay national median rates.
| Provider level | Each visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $10 | 36 | $360 | $72 | $432 |
| National median | $16 | 36 | $576 | $115 | $691 |
| Premium provider | $26 | 36 | $936 | $187 | $1,123 |
Assumes 36 visits a year. Adjust the visit count and every figure here moves with it.
Dropping one visit a year saves around $19. Dropping the cadence by a quarter saves about $173. Compare that against what you would save by moving to a lower-priced provider before you switch.
When a membership actually beats paying each visit
The honest test is your realistic visit count, not your intended one. Most people overestimate by 30–50%. Take the number below and check it against how you behaved last quarter.
| 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 | Worthwhile above 2.2/month |
| $51 / month | $16 | 3.2 visits | 38 visits | $612 | Worth it above 3.2/month |
Excludes enrolment and annual fees. Add those before comparing plans over twelve months.
You can run your own break-even against your actual visit count.
What to tip, in actual dollars
Percentages are awkward to compute at the counter. Below they are converted into actual dollars at the low, middle and high end of the national range.
| Gratuity rate | On $10 | On $16 | On $26 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $1.50 | $2.40 | $3.90 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $1.80 | $2.88 | $4.68 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $2 | $3.20 | $5.20 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $2.50 | $4 | $6.50 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- On a $16 service, the gap between an 18% and a 20% tip is $0.32. It matters less than whether you tip at all.
- Card tips may be pooled or delayed to the next pay run. Ask if you want it to reach one person directly.
- If more than one person worked on you, check how gratuity is divided before assuming the lead provider receives all of it.
- Cash is the most direct route and is still preferred in most independent studios.
Mistakes that cost real money
These are the ones that generate complaints. Each is prevented by one question in advance rather than at checkout.
- 1Assuming wellness services are included in a tanning plancosts $15–$50
Red light and spa services are normally separate.
If you want the policy detail behind these: Prepare For UV Tanning and UV Tanning Aftercare.
The booking script, word for word
You do not need to negotiate. You need the price to be stated before the service starts. These questions do that without any awkwardness.
- "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed on a separate line?"
- "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
- "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
- "What is the precise price for uv bed - level 2 at my hair length and density?"
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.
Worth comparing before you commit
Before deciding, it is worth seeing where this lands against the nearest alternatives on both price and what you get for it.
