What is a tanning 'level' in tanning salons?

A tanning 'level' in tanning salons refers to a classification of tanning beds. This system categorizes the tanning equipment based on factors such as the intensity of the UV light they emit and the technology used in the beds. Each level typically offers varying degrees of tanning efficacy, allowing clients to choose a bed based on their desired results and their skin type.

This classification is essential because it helps both the tan consultant and the client understand which tanning bed will best suit the client's needs and skin response, ensuring a safer and more effective tanning experience. The higher levels usually represent more advanced technology, with greater tanning capabilities, hence catering to those looking for quicker or deeper tanning results.

Understanding the concept of tanning levels is vital for both the consultants to provide informed recommendations and for clients to make educated choices about their tanning sessions.
