Welcome!

The TAN Co. offers a totally new tanning environment for your comfort:

  • Both standard (UV) and sunless (spray) technologies to get you the tan you want, the way you want it. You can even combine the two for perfect and longer-lasting colour.

  • Clean, warm, friendly, welcoming environment. Get up-scale treatment without the up-scale price.

  • Member, SmartTan International, National Tanning Training Institute (NTTI), and Joint Canadian Tanning Association (JCTA). Multiple memberships ensures a broad coverage of the technologies and safe practices expected within the industry, and allows us to keep abreast of the latest news regarding ultraviolet exposure, tanning and Vitamin D so we can ensure that we are providing valid and accepted information.  All staff are SmartTan-certified to ensure that you have the proper information to get and maintain that perfect tan, both indoors and out. 

  • Daily, monthly, and points-based plans available to fit your schedule and/or tanning needs

  • Large selection of high-quality tanning lotions, moisturizers, tan extenders and sunscreens.  We take skin care seriously.

Regular tanning NEW LAMPS INSTALLED JAN 1!!
  • Newer tanning beds provide some of the latest in tanning technology.  Four beds, one booth.

  • Session times from 10 to 20 minutes.

  • Three levels of beds plus standup allow you to achieve and maintain your tan in a well-controlled environment.

  • Lamp changes are done when they reach 70-75% of their expected lifetimes. New lamps - no rotation, no single replacements, no top/bottom only - ALL lamps are changed. You're paying for a tan, you get a tan.

  • Beds and all touchable surfaces are sanitized after each use to ensure a clean, healthy environment. Sanitizer stays on the bed for at least one full minute to ensure that the surfaces are germ-free. With the current swine flu scare going around, we take extra care to ensure that our facilities are clean and sanitary.

Oh - and it's not, and shouldn't be, all about colour: non-burning UVB exposure to skin, whether from the sun or a tanning bed, is the best natural source for Vitamin D - the "Sunshine Vitamin". Short exposure in a tanning bed can provide 100 TIMES more Vitamin D than a glass of milk. 97% of Canadians are Vitamin D deficient most of the year and this may be contributing to a number of health problems that are rampant in our society. We encourage you to become well informed on the true facts behind UV light and Vitamin D, then consider making us a regular stop to help achieve and maintain proper levels.  We provide a comprehensive collection of Vitamin D-related information from both trade sources as well as magazines and newspapers that are now preaching the benefits of regular Vitamin D production. Recent additions discuss sun exposure and how it does NOT cause melanoma.

We pay commission to points or monthly plan holders.  Bring/send in a friend. If they buy a month or points package we reward you by giving you $5 towards your next purchase of any tanning plan.

DON'T BELIEVE ALL THE RECENT MEDIA HYPE!  GET A BALANCED PERSPECTIVE ON TANNING AND VITAMIN D.
