Island Tans has operated in Cranford since 2008 and is in the downtown business area on North Avenue East. The salon describes itself as a top-rated tanning salon and as the premier tanning salon in the Cranford area; these are the salon's own claims. It also says its staff are highly qualified and highly trained.
The salon offers two kinds of tanning. Its spray tans are custom UV-free sessions using Norvell sunless solutions, and it also offers a 7-minute stand-up UV session using lamps from 49 to 220 watts. The tanning beds are described as new.
Spray tans are applied by hand by a trained technician using an HVLP spray gun rather than a machine. Hairnets and nose filters are provided at no charge. Clients can book by phone, online, or through the booking page on the website, and online bookings require a full name and mobile number.
Membership and package options include a VIP Unlimited Tanning Membership, which the salon says is its best-selling membership, with no commitment, no enrollment fee, and no cancellation fee. Its 30 or 60 day unlimited tanning package and 10 or 20 session packages are also offered, and the session packages do not expire. Walk-in spray tanning and UV sessions are offered depending on availability.
Spray tans are applied by hand with an HVLP gun, and the salon gives preparation and aftercare guidance, including exfoliating about a day before and booking a session 24 to 48 hours before an event.
