Why Choose a Platinum Sunbed Tan for Your Next Glow?

One of the things people notice with us right away is how much they can get done in one stop. A recent visitor told us they’d been coming in faithfully for weeks for our red light therapy bed and “can’t even believe how much better I feel overall” and also called out that our tanning beds are “top notch.” That’s the vibe here in Phoenix. You want results, you want it clean, and you want it to fit into real life.

Our Platinum - Sunbed Single Tans are built for exactly that. You’re in and out in 15 minutes for $35, with advanced sun bed technology designed to give a deeper, longer-lasting bronze glow in one visit. We’re located in North Phoenix in the Deer Valley area near Union Hills Drive and 32nd Street, right on the edge of Paradise Valley Village, so it’s an easy stop when you’re coming off Loop 101 or heading around Desert Ridge Marketplace. We also see plenty of regulars who drive in from Scottsdale, Glendale, Peoria, Paradise Valley, and Cave Creek when they need dependable color for travel or events.

What makes our Platinum sun bed different than Bronze, Silver, Gold

If you’ve never used tanning beds before, here’s the simple version. Different levels are built with different lamp mixes and session times. Our Platinum level is our level four bed, and it features a powerful combination of high-pressure and low-pressure lamps for the best results. That combination is why Platinum tends to be the go-to when you want faster, more even color in a single session.

We still keep the whole experience comfortable and straightforward. People regularly comment that the salon and beds are very clean, and one of our regulars even pointed out the details that make a difference, like beds that don’t “screech and crack as the lights heat up” and how the remote control timing feels pleasant. Those aren’t fancy buzzwords. That’s just what it’s like when the equipment is maintained the way it should be.

3 reasons people pick a Platinum sunbed tan when time is tight

A Platinum session is popular for the same reason people love a same-day spray tan appointment. It’s efficient. One person told us they got in for a same-day appointment when they called, and another said their tan was a “confidence boost” going into the holidays. Different service, same goal: you want to walk out looking better than when you walked in.

1) Faster color in a single visit, with settings that keep it even

Platinum is designed for stronger performance per session, and that matters if you’re prepping for a weekend trip, wedding, or you just don’t want to schedule a whole build-up plan. Adjustable settings help you avoid that “face is lighter than the body” look that frustrates people. Our team is used to walking first-timers through bed choice and comfort. We hear it all the time in our spray tan reviews too: people appreciate when we explain what’s happening and keep them comfortable. That same approach carries over into sun beds.

2) It layers well if you want a short build-up plan

A single Platinum session can give you visible color. A short series, spaced reasonably, usually looks even richer and holds longer. If you’re the type who likes a steady glow year-round in Phoenix, we’ll talk through timing so you’re not guessing. And if you’re the type who only tans before a specific event, we’ll help you pick the simplest plan that gets you to the shade you want without overcomplicating it.

3) You don’t have to gamble on maintenance or cleanliness

People come to us after trying other places, and the pattern is pretty consistent. They mention updated beds, a clean facility, and staff who are kind and helpful. One review summed it up in plain language: “beds make you so dark, ” “very clean, ” and “good people.” That’s what we aim for, every day.

“Best tanning salon I've been to. The beds are great and developing a great tan & no burn.... working on my Vitamin D & already feeling better 🙌.”

Phoenix dry-air aftercare: how to keep a Platinum tan looking fresh longer

In Phoenix, color fading often comes down to the basics. Our desert air is dry, and dry skin tends to shed faster. If you want your Platinum sunbed tan to last, treat your skin like you want it to hold onto that glow.

If you want a deeper read on maintaining your results, we put together our Platinum Sunbed Single Tans aftercare tips so you can keep that color consistent without overthinking it.

Is a 15-minute Platinum single tan the right pick for you?

Platinum tends to be a great fit if you want noticeable color without building your whole week around it. It’s also a solid choice when you’re switching back into tanning beds after a long break and want guidance on what level makes sense. We’ve had multiple first-time tanners mention that our owners and staff helped them figure out what was best for them, and we take that seriously.

And if you’ve ever felt uncomfortable in a bed setup, say so. One reviewer told us a Bronze bed felt claustrophobic to them. The owner reached out, suggested a different option, and they said the Silver bed was great and that they appreciated the concern for their well-being. That’s how we handle it. We’ll talk it through and get you into a bed you feel good about.

If you’re still deciding between levels, our guide on Sunbed Single Tans in North Phoenix lays out the options in plain language.

A family-run tanning salon in North Phoenix that people drive out of the way for

We’ve been in business for 17 years, and we’re still hands-on, day to day. People describe walking in and feeling like family. They also notice the things that are easy to overlook until they’re not, like a restroom that’s always clean and a facility that feels cared for.

Trust matters in any beauty service. One customer told a story about losing a gold bracelet they’d worn for 13 years during the tanning process. Our team found it and returned it. That kind of honesty is who we are, and it’s why people stay loyal for years, come back twice a year when they’re from out of town, and recommend us to friends.

“I’ve been a member of Ohana Sun Tanning almost 20 years when it was under a different name and I absolutely love this place!”
