The Tanning Shop

Located just off Victoria Square, this salon is in a really convenient location (opposite the Post Office). This does mean it can get VERY busy, especially after work around 6pm.
If you can, ALWAYS call and book, doesn’t have to be super in advance even just an hour before. This ensures you don’t have to wait around, which can be up 20 minutes or more.
The staff are helpful and the prices are reasonable. The beds themselves are decent and clean. You get very hot inside as each bed has it’s own room which isn’t ventilated very well.
You can choose from standing or lying down as well as Sun Angel which are a lot more expensive but meant to be worth the price. I haven’t tried them personally, I use standing. If you don’t want UV they do spray tans too.
Overall a good salon and recommended for a city centre top up.

I have been coming here for over a year now, probably two and always find the ladies on reception friendly and welcoming. They are knowledgeable about the products, and always upsell where possible without being pushy.
They do stand up, and lie down tanning beds as well as spray tanning here. I always opt for the spray tan, as I’m very consious that using sun beds would probably play havoc with my ultra sensitive skin!
I would recommend the Mystic tan which can be sprayed in a range of shades. This is an automatic spray booth that you step into, is very easy to use and has voice activated instructions.
The ladies are always on hand if you have any questions, and explain everything very clearly if you are unsure what to do.
The tanning shop is in a great location, behind the back entrance of New Street train station and therefore is right in the city centre. They also have offers available on a regular basis.
They always have booking slots available for a time that is convenient to me, and there is a good footfall of customers throughout the time I am there.
All in all, if you are looking for a sun kissed look I would pay this shop a visit!

I’m not a fake tan kinda gal but when I came back from my honeymoon and found within 2 weeks of being back in the Brummie rain my tan was starting to go I thought that’s it, I’m going in.
The ladies here were really helpful and explained everything to me in detail — as I’d only ever been on a sunbed once and that was about 5 years ago when my friend had hired one for a few weeks and we had it hanging over the bed.
After answering lots of questions I finally went in and lay down. I found it be ok, if anything I was bored. I can’t believe people do this a few times a week. I came out feeling pretty much the same — I’m not sure what I was expecting really. I thanked the ladies and decided it’s still not my cup of tea.
I would recommend coming here for anyone who hasn’t been to a tanning salon before as the ladies really take their time with you. Also it is ideally located in the city centre and only a few minutes away from New Street Station.

I’ve been going to this place regularly over the years as it’s right in the centre of town and very convenient for anyone living or working in the city.
Unless you walk up the hill directly from the back entrance of the train station, chances are you wouldn’t know it’s there. However, as its been running for years I always see the same regular faces which shows they have a good clientele base.
There are 5 stand up sunbeds available, and I think there is a lay down one too but I’ve never used that one.
I have to admit, these are not the strongest sunbeds I’ve ever been on but I think if you’re a first time tanner or a regular user then this salon would be a good place to build a gradual tan.
Before you go in the sunbed, on your left you’ll find a range of face cleaning products, hair bobbles (one for the girls) and some goggles.
They also sell a range of tanning creams which will prolong your tan so definitely worth asking about these if you pop in.
The girl on the front desk always smiles and says hello even when I’m just walking by to go to work.
