Totally Tan & Spa UV Tanning Prices costs $5 based on 1 documented prices. Metro price bands, what drives the cost, tipping tables and the real annual total.

Source-separated pricing Reviewed August 2026 U.S. focus

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.

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.

60-minute massage$70$105$17560 minutesSwedish 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.

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.

Worked example of a single appointment
LineAmountNote
Base service$8The line you see on the menu
One typical add-on$8Accepted at the chair without a stated price
Subtotal$16Before tax and gratuity
Sales tax at 7.5%$1.20Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only
Gratuity at 22%$3.52Calculated on the service, not on tax
Sensible total$20.72159% 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.

Annual cost at 36 visits (twice weekly in season)
Provider levelEach visitVisits/yrService spendGratuityAnnual total
Budget provider$1036$360$72$432
National median$1636$576$115$691
Premium provider$2636$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.

Break-even by monthly plan price
Monthly planPer-visit rateBreak-evenAnnual visits neededAnnual costVerdict
$22 / month$161.4 visits16 visits$264Worthwhile above 1.4/month
$35 / month$162.2 visits26 visits$420Worthwhile above 2.2/month
$51 / month$163.2 visits38 visits$612Worth 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 on uv bed - level 2
Gratuity rateOn $10On $16On $26When it applies
15%$1.50$2.40$3.90Standard for a satisfactory service
18%$1.80$2.88$4.68Common default in mid-size and large metros
20%$2$3.20$5.20Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with
25%$2.50$4$6.50Reserved 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.

  1. 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.

  1. "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
  2. "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
  3. "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
  4. "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed on a separate line?"
  5. "If this runs longer than booked, does the price change?"
  6. "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
  7. "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.
