Ok well definately use the tanning bed instead of the spray if you want a longer lasting tan that's more natural.
Here is what happens, the person working the counter will set the minutes for you. Your minutes depend on how tan you are or if you burn easily so it could be from 5-8 minutes. The person working can help you decide.
Then you go to the room where the bed is, it's just a small square room and you lock the door and stuff.
You can go in your bathing suit or bra and underwear, up to you.
Undress and if you have a lotion that just enhances the tan, put it all over your body and face etc.
You can usually buy them at the tanning place.
If you don't use anything it doesn't really matter.
Then put the goggles on your eyes and if you want put the earphones they give you in your ears but personally I don't listen to music.
Then lay down on the bed and press the start button, then you just pull down the top of the bed and relax :)
You should have about six inches inbetween the lid and bottom of the bed.
Once your done the bed will turn off automatically then just lift the lid get dressed and leave.
And that's pretty much it, hope I helped :)

I definetely agree with mynamesallan. There's a really good chance you'll turn out orange. I know soo many people who look like carrots from tanning beds. PLUS, it increases your chance of skin cancer, a lot.
Just tan the natural way, but make sure to wear sunscreen =]
Good Luck!

heyy!
well i've never been to that place so sorry just make shure they have a certification then i'm shure there fine or maybe go to a website.
alright well i've been to a tanning bed a couple of times.
alright at first onlyy do a couple minutes..at first i did 8 and then for my second session i did 8 and then i went up to 10 just dont do a lot at once so you can see how you react to the bed.
take off all your make up if you have any acne medication on your face wash it off because it could react with the light and make you have a bad reaction.
ask for the goggles they have - the one i go to doesnt have the goggle goggles so you have lines by the sides too its just like paper plastic ones that you put on both your eyes theyre called wink- free
oh yeah get i sticker if you want to see how dark you turned [haha i love the hearts but they also have like palm trees and bunnies and that stuff too]
alright then go into your room [they might give you a lotion to put on put that on but not so slow] the first time i did i was putting the lotion on and the light just went on haha so if you dont hit start right away they go on cause their timed [5 minutes i think]
then i would recommend staying in your underwear and bra..you could just pull your bra straps down that what i do.
ok the first time i was REALLY SCARED lol i was like omgsh its so bright but then you just get used to it put your head where the face tanner is - the thing where you could see yourself.
the first time i went the lady told me how to use it just ASK if you dont get anything..thats what their there for.
then wait until your time is up [you could sing, think, i actually think its a stress reliever to go in there. just some stuff to pass the time]
and then get out and TA DA!! your tan
but in the first session you wont notice a REMARKABLE difference you'll notice SOME but not a lot ahah.

beware this can get veeeeerrrryyy addicting ahah.
if you have any more questions just ask :]

I'm not sure about the place. Go somewhere clean and have nice beds, and they get new bulbs when they are suppose too.
First you tell the lady how long you want to go in. I suggest maybe 5-8 mins. your first time.
Go into the room, and take off your cloths. I take everything off. But you might want to keep your panties and bra on. Up to you. Then if you have tanning lotion put it on. I know I only have three mins. to get everything on. So im guessing thats how long you have. Then just get in the bed and put the little san glasses things on and your ready to go.. Happy Tanning!<3

Can't answer your seconds paragraph, but if you go, don't use the fake tan. It's exactly what it says. FAKE. It makes you come out like a damn oompa loompa or something.
