Is it cheaper buying a tanning bed then going to the salon? If it is what about my electric?
Posted by Sonni in: buy a tanning salonMy husband and i have been talking about it for a while now and we thought we would ask you guys. If it were cheaper then would our electric double?.. and if thats the case then it wouldnt be cheaper at all……right?
It’s all relative. It depends on how long you are wanting to tan…if that’s forever, buy a bed, preferably a stand up as they allow an all over even tan and avoid heat rashes (pressure points).
EDIT: To the person below me, you must not have been tanning right, to have wrinkles at 18 years of age. I know a guys who have been tanning for over 15 years who have perfect skin, and it’s as tight as it could be. I could certainly see it though, most young girls overexpose themselves too much during the summer with laying out constantly and even using the booths in addition to that. The fact is, you can tan daily in a booth for years and have perfect skin because it’s moderate exposure. So having your own bed and tanning everyday is perfectly fine, as long as the days you use it you avoid the sun completely.

i used to work at a tanning salon. hollywood tans lowest offer is 20 bucks a month for unlimited tanning in their lowest booth. i wouldn’t buy a bed, it will only influence you more to tan every day and for forever which will give you skin cancer, wrinkles (i’m 18 and got wrinkles from tanning so much because it was free), and freckles (yes, you get freckles from tanning). Plus a bed gives you white marks on your butt and shoulder blades because of the decreased blood circulation. if you are stuck on buying one then get a booth instead of a bed, but understand that you will have to buy new bulbs to replace the old ones when they go out which could get pricey.
oh and it wouldn’t cause your electric bill to double…the electricity cost of running one session in a booth is between 1-2 dollars.

i got sick of forking out money to the tanning salon and bought a bed for my house,it was just under three thousand but there were cheaper,and as far as the hydro goes,don’t really notice when i go tanning 2 to 3 times a week,but if my friends wanna go i charge them 40 a month un-limited and save it for the hydro bill no big deal,if you get one then make sure your friends don’t come tanning for free!
