THE NEXT GENERATION OF TANNING
WHAT IS HYBRID TANNING?
Hybrid Tanning brings two technologies together within one tanning session, combining carefully controlled UV with integrated red light technology.
Unlike a conventional sunbed fitted solely with standard tanning lamps, our Hybrid beds use specialist lamps designed to deliver both technologies simultaneously, creating a more advanced and comfortable tanning experience.
It’s this specialist equipment that makes Hybrid Tanning different — and why you won’t find it in every tanning salon.
INDUSTRY LEADING TECHNOLOGY
OUR State-of-the-art HYBRID TANNING BEDS
We’ve invested in advanced Hybrid tanning equipment to give our clients access to some of the latest tanning technology available.
Our beds are fitted with Hybrid 0.3 compliant lamps that combine UV and red light within the same session. Rather than simply upgrading the strength of a traditional sunbed, Hybrid technology changes the tanning experience itself through a specialist combination of modern lamp technologies.
As one of only a small number of tanning salons offering Hybrid technology, you can experience these advanced beds right here in Chelmsford.
WHY CHOOSE HYBRID?
THE BENEFITS OF HYBRID TANNING
DEEPER, MORE EVEN RESULTS
Hybrid technology is designed to support a more consistent tanning experience, helping you gradually develop a deeper, more even-looking tan.
UV + RED LIGHT TECHNOLOGY
Our Hybrid lamps combine controlled UV exposure with integrated red light technology, delivering both within the same session.
0.3 COMPLIANT LAMPS
Our beds use 0.3 compliant Hybrid lamps, giving you access to controlled tanning technology designed for responsible sunbed use.
A MORE ADVANCED EXPERIENCE
Hybrid beds go beyond a conventional sunbed by combining specialist lamp technology with modern equipment for a premium tanning session.
DESIGNED WITH SKIN IN MIND
The addition of red light technology creates a different tanning environment, designed to provide a gentler and more comfortable overall experience.
EXCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGY
Hybrid Tanning is still relatively uncommon across UK salons. We’re proud to be one of the few tanning shops offering this technology here in Chelmsford.
CONTROLLED TANNING TECHNOLOGY
WHAT DOES 0.3 COMPLIANT MEAN?
The “0.3” refers to the maximum erythemal UV output permitted under European tanning standards. Our Hybrid beds use 0.3 compliant lamps to provide a controlled, responsible tanning experience.
As a member of The Sunbed Association, we follow recognised industry guidance around safe tanning, suitable session times and customer care.
We focus on quality equipment, appropriate exposure times and helping every customer build their tan gradually, with session lengths recommended around your skin type, tanning history and previous UV exposure.
This approach allows you to enjoy the benefits of modern Hybrid technology while keeping responsible tanning at the heart of every session.

frequently asked questions
Hybrid Tanning is still relatively new compared with traditional sunbeds, so it’s completely normal to have questions about how the technology works, what makes it different and what to expect from your session.
Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about our Hybrid tanning beds, 0.3 compliant lamps, red light technology and using Hybrid Tanning at The Tan Boutique.
Hybrid Tanning combines UV tanning lamps and red light technology within the same tanning session using specialist Hybrid equipment.
Yes. Conventional sunbeds primarily use UV tanning lamps, whereas Hybrid beds incorporate both UV and red light technology.
A Hybrid Tanning session feels very similar to using a conventional sunbed, so if you’ve tanned before, the experience will feel familiar. The main difference is the specialist technology working within the bed, with Hybrid lamps combining controlled UV exposure and red light technology during the same session.
Our modern Hybrid beds are designed to provide a comfortable tanning environment while giving you access to more advanced lamp technology. If it’s your first time using one, our team can explain the equipment and controls before your session begins.
0.3 refers to the regulated erythemal UV output of the tanning equipment. Our beds use compliant lamps designed to provide controlled UV exposure.
Yes. You don’t need previous sunbed experience to use our Hybrid tanning beds. If you’re new to tanning, our team will first consider your skin type, tanning history and previous UV exposure before recommending an appropriate starting session.
We always encourage customers to build their tan gradually rather than beginning with longer sessions. We can also explain how the Hybrid equipment works, provide suitable eye protection and answer any questions before you use the bed for the first time.
This depends on your skin type, previous tanning experience and recent UV exposure. Our team can recommend an appropriate starting time.
How frequently you should tan will depend on your skin type, previous UV exposure, session length and how your skin responds. Hybrid technology does not mean that normal responsible tanning guidance should be ignored.
You should allow appropriate time between sessions and avoid increasing your tanning time too quickly. Our team can recommend a suitable tanning routine based on your individual circumstances and help you gradually build and maintain your desired colour.
Booking ahead is recommended, particularly at busy times, although availability may also be possible on the day.
