How long does it take to get tan?
You will see results with your very first session. It takes 4 or 5 sessions using the HT54 or HT60 Booths to build a base tan. We recommend the use of a quality lotion to increase your tanning potential and keep your skin feeling healthy and soft. The sessions should be used within a 10-day time period for optimum results.


Why do I need to wear eye protection?
Eye protection is required by law. The eyelid does not effectively block ultraviolet light while tanning. Therefore the use of approved eye protection is required in Hollywood Tans to insure that our customers do not suffer ill effects such as cataracts or night blindness.
