I've only ever been on a sunbed twice, and one of those times was here. Yes, they give you cancer; and yes, they make you look ridiculous if you use them too much. But unfortunately for me I was 'blessed' with skin that makes Snow White look tanned and so before a dress-wearing occasion I have been known to get a little help. The salon was very clean when my friend and I walked in, and it smelled really nice although it was absolutely BOILING. It was as if they were trying to kid your brain into thinking that you were in fact on holiday, so that'd you'd tan faster. All it did was make me irritated and grumpy. That lost this place it's first star. The second I took off because of the staff. When we walked in there were two girls behind the counter and another girl draped over the counter chatting to them. They stopped taling abruptly when we walked in, but all three of them stared us up and down disapprovingly, without even trying to be subtle, before looking at eachother with a puzzled expression on their faces. In short, if you're a radioactive ahde of neon rom using sunbeds too much, get yourself to this place and you'll fit right. If not, you'll be gawped at like a circus freak. read more

Indigo Sun - Tanning Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

I'm in agreement entirely with Emma C, sometimes if you live in Scotland having a few minutes here and there (but having absolutely no change in skin colour - damn you fair skin!) Remember, everything gives you cancer. Indigo sun is great for the vast amounts of sunbeds. Disgusting toilet but big mirrors in a semi-open plan part where you can redo your make up instead of having to do it in the crap lighting you get in most tanning boots. Located on the rough patch of Edinburgh city centre, otherwise known as Lothian Road, is is quite central only being five minutes walk from the Grassmarket. read more

First things first, we all know that sunbeds are not good for you, but sometimes when my vitamin D levels are their lowest point and the dreich Scottish weather is getting me down I pop into Indigo Sun for a 6 minute blast of UV joy. I know it's not big or clever, but sometimes it just has to be done. The shop is pretty large and there are plenty of beds, so you never have to wait very long for your moment of shame. The beds are well maintained and always clean, plus there's anti-bac spray if you're concerned about hygiene. The prices are reasonable and the staff will advise you on the large range of creams on display to help you reach your optimum bronzed state. Probably best not to get into the habit of visiting, but if you only do it occasionally I doubt you'll come to much harm. read more

The beds are really good when everything works, but whenever there is an issue the onsite staff cant help and have to right issues down in a book for a manager to call! THAT CALL BACK NEVER! HAPPENS!!!!!! So as long as you have no issues you're ok (Warrington branch) read more

Having never been tanning before and I was nervous about the experience for two reasons: 1. doing something I know nothing about that is looked down upon by society and 2. Final destination. My nerves were quickly put to ease as I was greeted by a very bubbly employees who gave me all the information I needed and showed me how to work the beds. The place was really clean and much cheaper than I thought it would be. I tan pretty easily so I won't be going very often as people might become suspicious as to how I got so brown in Scotland but I was very impressed on a whole. Would recommend. read more

Dido what everyone else says about sunbeds. I know, I know. But being from Arizona, I do miss the vitamin D and sunny feeling, mostly the heat! I wandered in here as it is on my way home and is like many tanning beds, although, this one seems very new and is always extremely clean. They do have lots of beds and even at peak times I've not waited more then 5 minutes. The girls who work there are pleasant enough and I always am helped right away. They offer 60 minutes for £28 (I think) and run deals with a free additional 15 minutes if you buy a block of 60. I use the standing beds and it is the flashiest I have ever encountered. A fan to control, music control with a plug in for your phone and bulbs from all angles with a reflective floor, which I assume is for added tanning. They also give you glasses to use if you don't have your own and wash them after each use. They also have a large range of creams, and anti-bac spray in the tanning bed stall should you be worried about cleanliness. They also do not have a toilet for customers, which is understandable, but a bit annoying. Otherwise, it is clean, efficient and exactly what a tanning bed should be. I know, naughty me. read more

Great beds but unfortunately extremely unhelpful and sometimes rude staff. I have made small complaints regarding things not working in the beds (music,fan etc) recently and the response is shocking as it's non existent and they do nothing to appease the situation. This has happened multiple times. Great if you don't have any mechanical issues with your bed. But horrendous if you need any help. read more

Alice W how rude! Lothian road is not rough I quite enjoy it actually. As for Indigo sun I really liked it and thought the staff were friendly however I tend to go out with peak times and never go around lunch time as its quite busy. I would agree with Fiona H can be very hot at times and using sunbeds frequently is a bad plan I tend to use them very infrequently. read more
