If I could rate my experience higher than 5 star I would :)…read more For someone like me who wasn't experienced with spray tans and had this perception that I would go orange, that couldn't have been further from the truth with The Tan Bar Melbourne. I was consulted with about the best colour for my skin and they customised a colour for me. I was given extra care with moisturiser on my hands and feet and Katrina made me feel so comfortable while I was getting my spray tan. She even dried me afterwards, which makes it much better when needing to put clothes on straight away. The end result was amazing. I looked like I had just spent 3 months in Tuscany and I couldn't believe how natural and real it looked. I was given advice on how to keep my tan longer and how to make sure it fades evenly. Also the fact that I could have a shower after only 2 hours was really practical for me. I was even offered a moisturiser so I didn't have to go out and find one myself. ' Needless to say I have been back numerous times and tried different shades and colours and I have never been disappointed. Katrina is so talented and caring and careful and your satisfaction is her only goal. I could never go anywhere else now and I couldn't recommend The Tan Bar Melbourne highly enough!!

Tuscan Tan used to be my place of choice when visiting solariums. They have a great range of beds…read morewhich are always kept clean and the light bulbs are frequently changed, you are also warned about it so you don't get burnt during a regular session. Not so frequently do i use the beds any longer however, I do prefer this salon for spray tanning over many others in the area. They just seem to get it right every time. The tanning spray they use is Tuscan Tan and its got a rather pleasant coconut/shea butter smell to it as oppose to that chemical spray you normal get with DIY versions. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to get a spray tan for the first time. The girls are really sweet and they always offer the best advice. Be warned! They will be fully booked over the spring racing carnival period, although they do offer extended trading hours to cater for the frenzy & last minute meltdowns you will still need to book in advance.

Sunlounge on Chapel Street has the best discount offer on sunbeads I've found so far; $59 for 8…read moresessions. They have both horizontal as well as vertical sun beds and you can choose the amount of time you wish to tan for, depending on your skin type, sun exposure etc. Prefer to fake it until you make it? They also offer a great spray tanning facility as well as beautician services such as hair removal, teeth whitening and microdermabrasion. I like Sunlounge for a quick no fuss service, the staff always get to know their regulars. If you are after a sunbed, they do to tend to get very busy on weekends and during Summer, so it can pay to call ahead to book a session in, rather than waiting in store as it can take awhile!
