tanning film

Welcome back to The Tanning Shop. If you haven’t visited us in store yet we hope to see you soon!

1. First visit back? You will be told if using a lay down bed you have the option of the film.
2. If you would like to use the film let a member of staff know and they will show you what to do!
3. Every visit after if you would like to use the film take a length to your room 
4. Place over the bed (as shown in the video)
5. Time to tan! Apply lotion & relax

The Film is 100% optional if you do not want to use this it is absolutely fine all beds are sanitised before and after every use!

One of our lovely girls has created a video to show our customers the new tanning film that we have installed across our stores to help give out customers piece of mind. We sanitise beds after every use with hospital grade sanitiser but we understand some people will not want to make direct contact with the beds.

This film is available in all stores, it is completely up to you if you would like to use it. The film will not effect your tan, it simply stops direct contact with the bed.

If you would like to use the film please take a length of it to your room and place over the bed and tan as usual. Simple!

We have other COVID measures in place around our stores such as cleaning regularly touched surfaces (door handles, controls on beds etc.), sanitising stations and floor markings. Please follow these guidelines. More information is shown below on what we have introduced into our stores.

We have loved seeing our customers again and if you haven’t been in yet we cannot wait to see you!
