Sun tanning is one of those easily unnecessary businesses. Unmanned as it is makes it not friendly,…read morethe age restriction means nothing when there isn't someone in there to stop underage people using the facilities. Sun beds can be potentially a risk to skin damage and its always best to use the sun beds for short durations with adequate sun cream and goggles, that being said there's no reason not to come back many times as the price is very low so spread the time to get a tan out over a week or two and don't be tempted to overdo it as your skin won't forgive you for it. The equipment is as good as Supersun so it's a toss up between the two.

I used to live close to this place and when I was into getting a tan I would regularly pop in to…read morethis unmanned shop, drop my coins into the machine select a cabin, get me kit off and let the rays burn my body! I used enjoy my regular little tanning sessions even though I knew there was a risk of skin cancer. Do you know what put me off? When a friend of mine inquired why I looked tanned. Of course I didn't mention I went to a sunbed centre as I am ashamed out this guilty pleasure. In the end she wouldn't let it go so I had to admit it. Then she said this...... , "We have those Consol Suncentres in Bristol. They had to start closing thme early becasue the local prostitutes were using them with their clients". That put me off. Having said that I have been back but this time I wash the bed down about 10 times before I get on it.

Tanning and beauty salons are, largely, the sole preserve of the female. They are feminine affairs,…read moremade with feminine concerns in mind. There is a certain kind of man who can enter a beauty salon and not feel that special kind of intimidation that only comes when you're thoroughly out of your depth in an alien atmosphere. I am not one of those men. This is why I was exceptionally pleased with my treatment when I entered Tans and Hands. It was my girlfriend's birthday looming up, and she wanted something incomprehensible done to her skin that I, as a man, couldn't even half understand. She'd sigh wistfully as she walked past Tans and Hands, hoping that one day she might get the chance to have it done. I, being a boyfriend, leapt into action. I would get her a Gift Certificate! That would give her what she wanted, and also had a little benefit for me if she ended up looking even more radiant. Armed with this knowledge, I stormed in and quickly tripped over my own words. I hadn't a clue what she actually wanted. Sure, she mentioned it to me in passing, but going into a tanning salon and saying "my girlfriend wants you to do something to her skin", accompanying the sentence with vague hand waves isn't going to get you very far. Happily though, they saw my predicament and guided me gently through the experience.

They also have a range of products and gifts on sale, as well as vouchers available if you wanted to treat someone to a relaxing afternoon (or if you know someone with an uno-brow, who just won't take the hint.)
