Types of tanning available
Tanning in Aylesbury generally falls into two groups. UV tanning uses sunbeds, either lie-down or stand-up booths, with sessions typically sold individually or as a course of minutes. Sunless tanning covers spray tans and airbrush applications, where a technician applies a cosmetic bronzing solution, sometimes from a named range such as St Tropez, along with self-tan products you apply at home. Many studios offer both, while some beauty salons include spray tanning alongside waxing, facials and nail treatments. If you are after a fuller package, it is worth checking listings that combine tanning with brows and lashes services.
Tanning alongside other beauty treatments
Several venues listed here are full beauty salons that add tanning to a wider menu. Common pairings include waxing and other hair removal, manicures and pedicures, brow waxing and eyebrow shaping, facials and skin care, and relaxing extras such as Indian head massage. Booking tanning at the same place as your other treatments can save a separate trip, so the listing details are worth checking to see exactly which services each salon offers and whether they need to be booked together.
What it typically costs
Prices vary by studio, treatment and session length, so use any figures as a guide only and confirm when you book. UV sunbed time is often sold per minute or in blocks, with longer courses usually working out cheaper per session. Spray tans are commonly priced per full-body application, with express or rapid-develop options sometimes costing a little more. Added treatments such as waxing, manicures, pedicures or a facial are usually priced separately, though some salons offer combined deals. Many places also offer introductory rates or loyalty discounts, so it is worth asking about current offers when you call.
Things to check before booking
For UV sunbeds, ask about session limits and skin-type guidance, as responsible studios will advise on safe use and may carry out a short consultation. For spray tans, mention any sensitivities and check whether a patch test is needed, what to wear and how to prepare your skin beforehand. If you are combining tanning with waxing, a facial or brow treatments, confirm the order of appointments, as some treatments are best done before or after a tan. Confirm opening hours, whether the studio takes walk-ins or appointments only, and any aftercare advice. Studios across Wendover, Haddenham and Buckingham vary in what they provide, so the listing details are the quickest way to compare.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a tanning studio in Aylesbury?
Decide first whether you want UV sunbeds, a spray tan or self-tan products, then compare nearby listings for opening hours, location and ratings. If you also want waxing, nails or a facial, look for a beauty salon that offers tanning alongside those treatments. Open each listing to check contact details and call ahead to confirm session lengths, prices and whether a consultation or patch test is needed.
What is the difference between a sunbed and a spray tan?
A sunbed uses UV light to develop a tan over repeated sessions, while a spray tan applies a cosmetic bronzing solution to the surface of the skin for an immediate result that fades over several days. Spray tanning, including ranges such as St Tropez, involves no UV exposure.
Can I get waxing, nails or a facial at a tanning salon?
Often, yes. Many of the venues listed here are beauty salons that offer tanning alongside waxing and hair removal, manicures and pedicures, brow waxing and eyebrow treatments, facials and treatments such as Indian head massage. Check the individual listing to see which services each salon provides.
Do tanning studios take walk-ins or do I need to book?
This varies. Some studios accept walk-ins for sunbed sessions, while spray tans, airbrush treatments and most beauty treatments such as waxing or facials usually need an appointment. Check the individual listing and contact the studio to confirm.
Which areas around Aylesbury are covered?
