Our Services
Comprehensive tanning solutions tailored to your unique skin and schedule.
Services Overview
Beach Bum Tanning Salon offers a comprehensive range of tanning services and products designed to suit different preferences, skin types, and timelines. Based in Ogdensburg at 502 King Street, our services include UV tanning beds for gradual color development, professional spray tans for immediate results, and a curated selection of tanning products for at-home maintenance. Our salon focuses on safety, knowledgeable recommendations, and long-term results.
Why professional tanning services matter
Professional tanning combines expertise, calibrated equipment, and controlled application. The difference between DIY tanning and professional service is predictability. In-salon services limit guesswork and produce more even, consistent results. Technicians who understand skin typing and exposure limits can advise schedules that balance color development with skin safety. Professional spray tans use solutions chosen for compatibility with your skin tone, ensuring realistic-looking color and minimizing streaking.

How We Tailor Services to You
We evaluate each client’s tanning history, skin sensitivity, and desired outcome. From there, we recommend one of three core paths:
1) Gradual UV plan:
For those seeking natural, slow-developing color through beds. Ideal for regular tanners.
2) Event-focused spray tan:
For quick results before events, vacations, or photo shoots.
3) Hybrid approach:
Build base color with infrequent UV sessions combined with occasional spray top-ups and maintenance products.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between beds and spray?
If you want gradual color that builds over time and prefer a traditional tan, start with UV beds. If you need an immediate, event-ready glow without UV exposure, choose a spray tan. We’ll help you decide at a consultation.
Do you provide disposable eye protection?
Yes, we provide protective eyewear for all UV sessions.
Can I use products I already own?
Many clients do; however, some products (like oil-based lotions) can interfere with spray tan adhesion or UV results. We’ll advise on what to avoid prior to your session.
