Sunbed and Tanning Salon History

Sunbed Tanning Salons have evolved since their introduction to the UK in 1977. Sunbed Tanning Salons have changed with the times in a fast moving business, with metal Commercial Sunbeds replacing pine sunbeds, and then moving into the futuristic blown plastic style Commercial Sunbed units that we see in modern Sunbed Tanning Salons today. Increasingly powerful Sunbed tubes, reflectors and the introduction of high pressure burners into the roof unit increased dramatically the Ultra Violet exposure to the face, and reduced sunbed tanning exposure times.

From the late 1990's Sunbed Tanning Salons were becoming increasingly popular, and could be found on most High Streets. Rural and village communities often enjoy having a local Sunbed Tanning Salon as part of their community spirit.

Sunbed Tanning Salon growth continued with the introduction of Vertical Tanning Commercial Sunbeds.

There was a new craze which spread not just across the UK, but Europe and America in particular. The Commercial Sunbed Tanning Salon Industry probably peaked around 2002 where the market was probably reaching saturation. Those Tanning Salons who were not keeping up with the fast pace often closed, leaving a leaner Commercial Tanning industry able to focus on the needs of their clients. Spray Tanning provided an alternative for many, however, by around 2005 there was a dramatic return to people using Sunbeds.

The Sunbed Salon industry now focuses on 'Wellness.' Tanning should be seen as part of your healthy regime. With many of us lacking in Vitamin D from our modern diet, sunbeds can offer a boost, providing a faint glow as we concentrate on being fitter. Wellness and fitness go hand in hand, and Sunbed Tanning Salons of the future will be part of a growing Spa Industry offering relaxation and therapeutic services which complement the Sunbed Tanning Salon Industry.

The future will see the focus move away from the need to increase Sunbed UV output, and instead return to Commercial Sunbed equipment which will provide a more relaxed approach to tanning. Commercial Sunbeds will have reduced outputs and highly trained staff will be able to advise on sensible tanning and skin care regimes.
