From Tanning to Therapy: How Modern Salons Are Becoming Wellness Hubs

In recent years, the tanning industry has undergone a major evolution. What was once primarily about bronzing the skin has now expanded into a world of wellness, skin health, and holistic self-care. Today’s salons are no longer “just tanning studios”, they are becoming full wellness hubs offering services like red light therapy, infrared sauna, salt therapy, spray tanning, and more.


This shift reflects a growing desire among clients not just to look good, but to feel good, inside and out.


At Fierce Tanning, we’ve embraced this movement with services that enhance skin confidence and support whole-body wellness.

According to the industry insight article on expanding tanning salons into health and wellness services, salons that diversify:

This creates a community wellness hub rather than a one-purpose beauty stop.
