The Ultimate Sunless Tanning Guide For Salons
Published date 28 August 2025

Within the professional beauty industry, salons have seen a huge shift in the way clients want to achieve their golden glow. With the growing awareness of UV damage and the long-term effects of sunbeds, sunless tanning has become the safest, fastest and most in-demand option for clients who want to achieve that flawless, radiant complexion.
For salons, this isn’t just about offering your clients a healthier, safer option; it’s about giving clients a premium, professional result they can’t achieve at home. By stocking the right products, you can ensure to provide a transformation in the salon that mimics a natural sun tan, while also guiding your clients on how to maintain their glow between appointments. Let's dive into our guide to the top sunless tanning products every salon needs to ensure your clients get the ultimate sunless tan.
