Er, one of my mates went to one once. Said they are actually quite nice but make sure you don't go on for too long the first time you go otherwise you will get burnt. And it's not a very nice burn, sort of like a chemical burn. You need to do it in short regular sessions. So he said, anyway...

I hope you're not in debt to any gangster types. If so I'd watch out for Vinnie Jones popping round to 'help' you top up your tan.
Hope this helps

Adam Virgo's Shirt
I took Adam's shirt off!
Ive used them quite a bit in the past. My tips are;
Don't go completely naked! Wear briefs or something to protect delicate areas LOL
If you've got fair skin don't do any more than 5 minutes at a time, and only use them twice a week
Beware of courses of sessions where you pay upfront and get a couple of extra sessions free. I paid for a course of 15 sessions at a salon in Worthing 2 years ago. They took my £50 then went out of business the week after!! Never saw the money again!
After you've been on the sunbed, allow your skin to settle for an hour or so and then moisturise to stop your skin drying out. Your skin will feel hot for the first hour, this is normal. You could always use the Johnson's Holiday Skin moisturiser to top up the colour a bit more?
I found them effective and could definitely see a difference in colour even after a couple of sessions.
In town centres expect to pay £1 per minute but out of town you can easily halve this cost.
If you've got space in your home, an even cheaper option is to hire a sunbed which you keep at your house for say 4 weeks. They only hire the horizontal beds but I paid £45 for 4 weeks hire of a sunbed that you put over your bed (or spare bed if you've got one). When you renew the hire they tend to discount the price and mine was £25 for every 4 weeks after that. Plus you can hire it out to your friends to make some money back. You will find these companies in the Friday Ad. I used Golden Tan if that helps
