About us
The Tan Boutique is a family run business that was officially established in 2018 but the concept of the Business was borne out of an experience Ceri had, a few years prior to that.
This is her Story...
Back in 2016, after lots of deliberation, I decided to visit a local Sunbed Shop for the first time, with the aim of getting a base tan before a bucket list holiday to Mauritius! Prior to this, all of my holidays had been in Europe but I knew Mauritian weather was completely different and so it would probably be a good idea to take my Sister’s advice & prepare my skin for that type of climate.
I had always been a bit dubious of using Sunbeds and so prior to my first tanning session I was keen to ask the Salon staff questions such as; Is my skin type suitable for Sunbeds? How many minutes can I do safely without burning? What lotion do you recommend for my skin type?
Much to my disappointment I was met with answers such as, “It’s up to you what minutes you do, we sell them in blocks of three,” & “this lotion is a popular seller” but was given no reason why it was so popular or what it would do. These answers didn’t really fill me with confidence and I left feeling a bit deflated about the whole experience.
Nevertheless, being fair skinned I really didn’t want to go to Mauritius and burn as I had done on previous holidays and so I went away and did my own research on Sunbeds; how many minutes I should have, down to what lotion is best for my skin type and how often I could safely use sunbeds.
With my confidence restored I then went back to the same Salon and purchased my first sunbed course, and for my skin type (fair) I actually achieved a tan that year and the amazing thing… for the first time in forever, I didn’t burn once on holiday and I didnt get any prickly heat which I previously got every year on holiday without fail!
By the time 2018 came around, I was ready for a career change after the birth of my First Child. There borne was The Tan Boutique!
My goal was to create a friendly, safe & controlled environment where everyone can achieve their tanning aspirations the healthy way!
It doesn’t matter to me or to any of my team how much time we spend with a new or an existing Client on a consultation, the important thing is creating an inclusive and safe environment where everyone is tanning responsibly and that they feel completely comfortable asking us questions.
We look forward to welcoming you, your Friends & your Family to The Tan Boutique in the near future!
