Good tanning salons match sunbed minutes to skin type. The Fitzpatrick scale (types I–VI) is a simple way to talk about how easily you burn or tan.
Types I–II (fair, freckled, burns easily) need shorter first sessions and a careful build-up. Types III–IV tan more readily but should still start conservatively. Types V–VI (deeper tones) can still benefit from even LED colour — minutes are set for your goals, not a one-size script.
At Tanova we treat this as guidance, then check in with you in salon. UK law: sunbeds are 18+ only. Bring ID if asked. Never use a bed if you are on photosensitising medication without medical advice.
