Tantopia Policies & Client Guidelines

At Tantopia, we're proud to be a locally owned, family-operated tanning and wellness salon. Our goal is to provide a welcoming, comfortable environment where every client feels valued.

To maintain a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, we ask all clients to review and follow our salon policies.

UV Tanning Policies

Tantopia follows North Carolina regulations regarding indoor UV tanning equipment and client safety.

Age Requirements

North Carolina law prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from using UV tanning equipment. Valid identification is required to verify age. Parental permission does not override this restriction.

Client Registration & Safety

Before their first UV tanning session, clients must review and sign the required tanning safety acknowledgment. Our trained staff will determine appropriate tanning exposure times based on individual skin type, tanning history, equipment guidelines, and applicable safety requirements.

Protective Eyewear

Protective eyewear is mandatory during every UV tanning session. Tantopia offers approved protective tanning eyewear for purchase. Customers who purchase personal eyewear are responsible for maintaining it, keeping it in good condition, and bringing it to each tanning visit. All eyewear must meet applicable UV tanning safety requirements. No UV tanning session will be permitted without proper protective eyewear. Clients who arrive without their eyewear should speak with salon staff before their session.

Additional Safety Guidelines

• Clients must follow the exposure times established by salon staff.

• UV tanning equipment is operated and controlled by trained salon personnel.

• Clients should inform staff of medications, skin conditions, or other factors that may increase sensitivity to UV exposure.

• Minors are not permitted in tanning rooms while UV equipment is operating.

UV exposure carries risks, including burns, eye injuries, premature skin aging, and skin cancer. Clients should review all required warnings before beginning UV tanning services.

Red Light Therapy & Sunless Tanning

Tantopia welcomes clients ages 13 and older for red light therapy and sunless spray tanning with parental or legal guardian consent for minors. This is a Tantopia salon policy and is separate from North Carolina's UV tanning age restrictions. Clients are expected to follow equipment instructions and applicable service guidelines.

Wellness & Recovery Services

Tantopia offers a variety of wellness, beauty, and recovery services designed to complement individual self-care routines. These services are not a substitute for professional medical care. Clients are encouraged to inform staff of relevant health concerns before receiving services and to consult their healthcare provider when appropriate. Our team may recommend postponing or declining a service when safety concerns arise.

Physician-Guided Weight Loss & Peptide Programs

Certain programs offered through Tantopia involve prescription medications and physician-guided treatment. All medical treatment decisions, including eligibility, prescribing, and treatment recommendations, are made by appropriately licensed healthcare providers. Completing a consultation or medical intake form does not guarantee approval for treatment. Tantopia provides program information, wellness support, and additional services but does not independently prescribe medications or make medical treatment decisions.

Equipment & Facility Guidelines

To help keep our salon safe and comfortable, clients are asked to follow all instructions provided by Tantopia staff. Equipment must be used only as directed. Clients should not adjust, modify, or operate equipment beyond the instructions provided. Please notify our staff immediately if equipment is not functioning correctly or if you experience an unexpected reaction during a session.

Respectful Environment & Right to Refuse Service

We want Tantopia to remain a place where everyone feels welcome and comfortable. We reserve the right to decline or discontinue services when necessary due to safety concerns, inappropriate or threatening behavior, or failure to follow salon policies, consistent with applicable law. We ask that all clients treat our staff, fellow clients, and facilities with respect.

Purchases, Packages & Memberships

All purchases are subject to Tantopia's posted Refund & Purchase Policy and any applicable membership or financing agreements. We encourage clients to review their package details, service terms, and membership agreements before purchasing.

Policy Updates

Tantopia may update salon policies, service guidelines, and program offerings as needed, in accordance with applicable law and existing agreements. Updated policies will be posted on our website.

Thank you for being part of the Tantopia family! We appreciate every client who walks through our doors and look forward to helping you make the most of your tanning, wellness, and recovery experience.

Tan your body, relax your mind.
