Our Policies
All of the policies described below are in place to ensure the safety and quality of your tanning experience.
The 24-Hour Policy
At Fabutan, we believe in smart tanning. The 24-Hour Policy was established to help you maximize the benefit and minimize the risk of too much or too little UV exposure. When scheduling your next visit, please assist us by ensuring it has been at least 24 hours since your last tanning session.
Cancellation Policy
As a courtesy to all Fabutan customers, Fabutan requires a minimum of two hours notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Failure to do so will result in a $4 charge.
Age Requirements
For liability reasons, children under the age of 12 cannot be left unattended and must be accompanied at all times by a responsible adult.
Under no circumstances are children permitted in the tanning rooms.
Any person under 16 years of age is permitted to use the tanning equipment providing parental consent is given, and must be accompanied to the studio by an adult during each tanning session.
Any person between the ages of 16 and 18 must have parental consent prior to using our tanning equipment. Please refer to our in-studio Teen Tan Plan for further information.
Indoor Tanning Oils & Lotions Only
Please ensure that your tanning lotions/oils are formulated for indoor tanning as some outdoor products:
- May cause photosensitivity
- May decrease tanning efficiency
- May damage the acrylics on the tanning bed
A Fabutan CEO is always available to answer any questions you may have about the value of using specially formulated indoor tanning lotions. Do not hesitate to ask us!
Eye Protection is Essential
Although they may seem like a nuisance, the goggles worn while tanning serve a very important purpose; they protect your cornea and retina from UV light damage that can lead to cataracts. The skin that makes up your eyelids offers almost no protection against UV light, so it does not make a lot of sense to lie in a tanning bed without tanning goggles! The indoor tanning eyewear that Fabutan provides stops 99% of UVB light and 99.9% of UVA light, allowing only visible light through so you can see while you tan.
Not using proper eye protection may also result in short term effects such as tired and itchy eyes, headaches and loss of night vision. You should never be in a tanning bed without eye protection, and be sure to purchase your own pair of tanning goggles to avoid the risk of easily transmitted infections like pink-eye.
