Services
Hybrid Tanning
Hybrid Tanning merges UV exposure with Red Light Therapy in a single session for enhanced results. This exclusive technology stimulates melanin production while boosting collagen, creating deeper, longer-lasting tans with skin health benefits. Clients experience faster tanning with reduced session frequency compared to traditional methods.
VersaSpa Pro Heated Sunless
VersaSpa Pro delivers precision sunless tanning through heated, customizable misting technology. With over 90 application settings, technicians create natural-looking, streak-free tans lasting 5-7 days. The open-air design accommodates all body types while minimizing discomfort during application.
Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy uses non-UV wavelengths to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. This non-invasive treatment reduces fine lines, enhances circulation, and complements tanning results. Sessions combine light exposure with vibration therapy for comprehensive skin and muscle benefits.
High Pressure UV Tanning
High Pressure tanning beds utilize specialized lamps that maximize UVA exposure while minimizing burning risks. These premium units deliver deeper tans with fewer sessions required, featuring amenities like aromatherapy misters and personalized music systems for enhanced comfort.
Beauty Angel Treatment
Beauty Angel combines red light therapy with vibration platform technology for holistic wellness. The 12-minute sessions improve muscle tone, reduce cellulite appearance, and enhance skin elasticity through simultaneous light exposure and mechanical stimulation.

Do NOT sign up with SunScape. If you ever try to cancel your membership it will be a pain. I signed up summer 2020 for their promo and understood the terms that I had to pay in full until December 1, 2020. I ended up moving four hours away October 1, 2020. In September 2020 I went into the salon and told the girl at the desk I was moving, and asked to cancel my membership once I fulfilled my part of the promo contract. She said I couldnt cancel that far in advance, but that I had to cancel in person. Kind of hard to cancel in person if youve moved and still have two months left in your contract

I love coming for a tan! My favourite front desk person is Paria, she sold me my tanning package. She is the sweetest most bubbly person that works there. I am always greeted with a warm smile from her and she is always friendly and knowledgeable.

I went in today to learn about spray tans since Ive never been for one before and Megan was very helpful and knowledgeable. She guided me through the process of spray tan since this was my first one. The salon was also very tidy and well-kept. I will definitely be coming back!!

Spacious beds and friendly professional staff. Really appreciated how knowledgeable Jessica was regarding their product line. She was able to recommend an after tanning lotion that was just perfect for me. I will definitely be returning for future sessions and to pick up some more of that lotion
