Always wear eye protection when tanning equipment is turned on. Ultraviolet light normally does not cause immediate pain or discomfort, but can after your visit is over.

Use your protective eyewear as instructed. If you’re not sure how to wear them properly, ask your salon attendant.

Exclusive Tans Salon sanitizes all protective eyewear, but for your ultimate protection, we recommend purchasing your own. Ask the front desk how you can obtain your own.
