Book with Sun PalmsStand-up sunbeds use higher-pressure tubes than traditional lay-down beds, delivering a more even, faster-developing tan. You stand inside the booth with the door closed; the session is over before you know it. Better for clients with claustrophobia and arguably more hygienic — no surface contact.
Sun Palms run all UV tanning at House of Beauty as a partner operation. The stand-up is one bed, so we'd recommend booking ahead during peak hours — Sun Palms have their own booking system separate from House of Beauty's salon bookings.
First-time clients have a 5-minute Fitzpatrick skin-type check with the Sun Palms team to set a safe starting session length.
Disposable UV goggles provided. Optional Sun Palms-stocked tan-accelerator lotions available.
6 minutes for new tanners and Fitzpatrick I–II skin; 9 minutes for established tanners; 12 minutes for darker skin types or maintenance.
Hydrate, moisturise. Don't shower for 4 hours after to let the tan develop.
Hydrate generously and moisturise daily — sunbed-tanned skin loses moisture faster than untanned skin. Avoid soaps with harsh exfoliants for the first 24 hours. Maximum 1 session per 24 hours and twice per week is best for tan building without skin stress.
Sun Palms follow UK Sunbed (Regulation) Act 2010 standards. Under-18s cannot use the beds under any circumstances. Pregnancy, certain medications and skin conditions can be contraindications — disclose at consultation.
Sun Palms stand-up sessions run 6, 9 or 12 minutes depending on your skin type and tan stage. New clients always start at the shortest session and build up gradually.
Stand-up beds use higher-pressure tubes that deliver a stronger, more even tan in less time. They're more hygienic (no contact with surfaces) and better for clients who don't like enclosed spaces.
UV regulations allow no more than one session in any 24-hour period. For tan-building, twice a week is the recommended cadence with at least 48 hours between sessions.
Yes — disposable goggles are mandatory and provided free at every session. UV exposure to unprotected eyes is genuinely dangerous.
