4 UK tanning salon websites worth copying, and what they get right

A word before we start. We sell websites to tanning salons, and we run three salons of our own, so we’ve got a commercial interest in what you do next. We haven’t included any site we built or any of our own salons, and nobody paid to be here.

A good tanning salon website answers a customer’s four questions before the kettle’s boiled: where are you, when are you open, what does it cost, and do I need to book? That sounds easy. In a sample of 303 trading UK tanning salons, fewer than 1 in 5 had prices visible and just 14 passed all six of our website basics.

So we went looking for sites doing the basics well, each with one thing you could borrow. This is a small hand-picked set we found on 2 November 2026 through ordinary web searches, separately from that study. It isn’t a ranking of the whole market, and we aren’t saying any of these salons were part of the study. All four are small sites, which is rather the point: none of this needs a big budget.

How we chose

Every site had to do all of this, and you can check each one yourself:

• Show prices as ordinary text
• Show opening hours
• Tell customers how to book, that they don’t need to, or how to get in touch
• Load over HTTPS
• Fit a 390-pixel phone screen without sideways scrolling
• Make no health claims about sunbeds on any page we read, because of the ASA’s advice on sunbeds

That last test ruled out more sites than any other. The list is A to Z, ignoring “The”. We didn’t book anything, buy anything or visit these salons, so we’re judging what a customer can see on the website and nothing about the tan itself. Prices are as shown on 2 November 2026 and may well change.

The four at a glance

What each one gets right

Bronzology

Salons in Bournemouth and Wareham.

• What it gets right: the homepage shows four packages, from 30 minutes at £25 to 150 minutes at £75, and says right underneath that they must be used within 6 months of purchase. Put the rule next to the price and you’ll have fewer awkward chats at the desk.
• Worth borrowing if: you sell a handful of packages and want the terms clear from the start.
• Worth knowing: the site is a single page, with the Bournemouth phone number and hours near the bottom.

Solarsun Tanning

A salon on Bowring Park Road, Huyton, in Liverpool.

• What it gets right: the homepage folds sunbed prices, facial prices and opening hours into sections you tap to open, so a phone screen stays short. Opening hours include bank holidays, which is the day people go looking for them.
• Worth borrowing if: you offer tanning and beauty, and don’t want one long price list.
• Worth knowing: prices sit behind a tap on a phone, so tap “Sunbeds - Prices” to see them. Courses are listed under the single sessions, with 60 minutes at £28.50.

The Tan Studio

Two salons in Bridgend and Maesteg.

• What it gets right: “No appointment needed” sits near the top of the homepage, under the opening times. The prices page then lists sessions minute by minute, starting at 95p a minute, so nobody has to do sums in the car park.
• Worth borrowing if: you’re a walk-in salon and want to answer the booking question in one line.
• Worth knowing: opening times differ between the two salons on a Sunday, and the homepage sets that out.

The Tanning Co

A salon at Rise Park, Romford.

• What it gets right: the homepage shows each sunbed course with its price per minute and what it saves against pay as you go. A 60-minute course is £47, which it works out as 78p a minute and a £7 saving. Courses are far easier to sell when the customer doesn’t need a calculator.
• Worth borrowing if: you want more customers buying courses without a chat at the desk.
• Worth knowing: online booking goes through a customer login, so new customers register first. Spray tans have their own button at the top of the page.

What to borrow for your own site

You don’t need a big budget for any of this. Most of it is a few lines of text in the right place:

1. Answer the booking question early. Walk-in, online or by phone, say which, near the top.
2. Show prices the way people buy. Our guide to showing your prices covers minutes, courses and memberships.
3. Put the rules beside the price. How long minutes last belongs next to the course, where people will see it.
4. Show hours for the awkward days. Bank holidays are when a customer most needs to check.
5. Check it on your phone. Then run the launch checklist before you tell anybody.

If you’re starting from scratch, put a couple of these sites in your website brief and say what you like about each. “I like how this one explains courses” is far more use to a designer than “make it modern”. Our guide to what a salon website costs will help you budget.
