Stand-Up Booths Built Around Busy Schedules
A stand-up tanning booth is one of the simplest ways to fit UV tanning into a full week. You walk into a private room, step into an upright cabin and tan standing, with nothing pressing against your body. Many clients choose booths because they like the open, uncomplicated layout and the feeling that the whole visit moves along quickly. For people who tan before work, on a lunch break or between errands, that simplicity matters.
Booths are part of our complete UV Tanning lineup at Snazzy Tanz. Clients who want an upright experience with a different design often try our Hybrid Stand-Up UV Tanning Beds too, and anyone who tans regularly may save time by asking about Tanning Packages for booth sessions. Owner Beth Shull and our Smart Tan-certified staff bring more than 30 years of tanning industry knowledge to every recommendation. Have a question before your first visit? Reach out to our team and we will gladly help.

Are stand-up tanning booths better than tanning beds?
Stand-up tanning booths are not better or worse than beds, just different. Booths let you tan upright with no pressure points and no contact with a shared surface, which many clients like for even color on the back and shoulders. Beds feel more restful. The right pick depends on your comfort and routine.
Our staff are happy to let you try a booth on one visit and a bed on another, then talk through what you noticed so your plan suits you. Clients who want variety can also rotate between equipment over time, as long as each session length is confirmed for the unit being used.
Stand in the center of the booth with your feet slightly apart and your arms raised overhead, so light reaches your sides and underarms. Shifting position a little during or between sessions can help keep color balanced. Our team will happily demonstrate before your first booth session. Remember to keep protective eyewear on the whole time, even while you adjust your position inside the booth.
We recommend a quality indoor tanning lotion for every booth session. Well-moisturized skin usually tans more evenly and holds color better. Apply it in your private room before you step in, and avoid outdoor sunscreens or beach oils, which are not made for indoor equipment. Our team can suggest a lotion for your skin. Applying lotion evenly, especially on elbows, knees and ankles, can also help those drier areas tan more smoothly.
With no surface pressing against your back, shoulders or hips, booths help avoid the pale patches some clients notice after lying down. It is a simple way to aim for color that looks balanced all over.
You never lie on anything in a booth, which many of our clients find more comfortable. We still clean every booth carefully between guests, because a spotless room is part of every visit to our salon.
There is no settling in or climbing out, so booth visits tend to feel quick and efficient. Walk-ins are welcome, same-day appointments are often possible and online booking is available through our client portal.
Our Smart Tan-certified staff set your booth time based on skin type and tanning history, starting new clients conservatively. We would always rather you build color gradually than push for a fast result.
Some clients find standing feels cooler and less confined than lying in a bed. If you tend to feel warm or closed in, a booth may suit you better, and our team is happy to show you one first.
Booth sessions pair well with spray tans before events and with our hybrid stand-up unit for variety. We help you plan how each service fits together so your color and schedule stay on track.

Everything Included in a Booth Session
A stand-up booth visit at Snazzy Tanz is straightforward, but each part of it is planned with care. These six aspects cover who booths suit, how we prepare you, how to stand and how to look after your color afterward. Ask our team about any of them at our salon in Lakewood, Colorado. Each one is quick to cover.
Booths suit clients who want quick visits, dislike lying down or want to avoid pressure points. If you have very fair skin or burn easily, talk with us first, because shorter sessions or a UV-free spray tan may be a better starting point.
Before your first booth session, our certified staff ask how your skin reacts to sun and what equipment you have used before. Your answers set a sensible starting time, and we revisit that plan as your color develops over later visits.
We show you where to stand, how far apart to place your feet and how to hold your arms during the session. These small details help light reach your sides and underarms, which is where uneven color most often shows up.
Protective eyewear is required in every booth session, no matter how short. Closing your eyes alone does not fully protect them. Bring your own goggles or ask at the front, and we will make sure you have a proper pair first.
Exfoliate gently ahead of your visit, apply indoor tanning lotion in your room and remove jewelry. Afterward, moisturize daily to help color look smooth. Many clients also wait a little while before showering so their skin can settle.
Booth sessions combine easily with our hybrid stand-up unit, lay-down beds or a custom spray tan before a big event. Some clients also add red light therapy to their routine. We help you plan the order that makes sense for you.

Stand-Up Tanning Booth Questions
If you have never used a stand-up tanning booth, it is natural to have a few questions first. Our team answers these most often for clients planning their first booth sessions. Still curious about something? Call us or send the form and we will be happy to walk you through it.
How long will my stand-up booth session be?
Your session length depends on your skin type, tanning history and the specific booth you use, so there is no one-size-fits-all number. Our Smart Tan-certified staff set your time before each session and start new tanners on the conservative side. As your color develops, we adjust gradually, always aiming to help you avoid burning.
Can I tan in a booth if I have never used UV equipment?
Yes. Many first-time tanners start in a booth because the setup is simple and they never lie down on shared equipment. We begin with a short skin type conversation, show you how to stand and confirm your eyewear. From there you build color gradually over several spaced-out visits rather than all at once. Many become regulars in no time.
Why do I sometimes get uneven color under my arms?
Underarms and sides are easy to miss if your arms stay down during a booth session. Raising your arms overhead helps light reach those areas. Shifting your stance slightly from visit to visit also helps. Our team is happy to show you positioning tips at any visit, not just your first. Small habits make a real difference.
Is a stand-up booth the same as a hybrid stand-up bed?
Both let you tan upright with no pressure points, but they are different pieces of equipment with their own design and feel. Some clients prefer the open simplicity of a booth, while others enjoy the hybrid unit. Our staff can explain the differences and help you try each one over separate visits. There is no wrong choice here.
What should I do after a booth session?
Take a moment to cool down, then moisturize and get dressed. Keep your skin hydrated daily to help your color look even. Many clients wait a little while before showering. Space out your sessions as our staff recommend, and let us know if your skin ever feels uncomfortable so we can adjust your plan. Hydration helps color look its best.
Can I use my booth sessions with a tanning package?
Many clients who tan regularly in our booths choose a tanning package or membership so they do not have to decide every visit. Package options can change, so the best way to see what applies to booth sessions is to ask our team in person or check when you book through our online client portal. We will explain everything clearly.
