Safety Policy

At Tan-Ex Salon, client safety is our highest priority. We are committed to providing tanning, aesthetic, and laser treatments in a safe, professional, and regulated environment. All treatments are carried out by trained professionals using approved equipment and protocols.

General Safety Guidelines

  • All clients must be 18 years or older and provide valid photographic ID before using sunbeds or receiving aesthetic or laser treatments.

  • A consultation is required prior to certain treatments to assess suitability.

  • We reserve the right to refuse treatment if it is deemed unsafe or unsuitable.

  • All equipment is regularly cleaned, sanitised, and maintained to a high standard.

  • Patch tests are required for laser treatments where applicable.

Sunbed (Tanning) Safety

  • Clients will be advised on appropriate exposure times based on skin type.

  • Overexposure increases the risk of skin damage; we strongly advise following staff guidance.

  • Protective eyewear must be worn at all times while using sunbeds.

  • Sunbeds must not be used if you are pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or are taking photosensitive medication.

  • Clients should not use sunbeds more than recommended or combine tanning sessions with excessive natural sun exposure.

  • Clients will be advised to wear eye protection which is provided in salon.

Sunbed Hygiene & Cleaning

At Tan-Ex Salon, all sunbeds are thoroughly cleaned and sanitised after every use. Our team follows strict hygiene procedures using professional-grade disinfectants to ensure each bed is safe and hygienic for every client.

Clients are also encouraged to use the in-salon cleaning products provided before and after use for added reassurance.

Sunbed Aftercare

  • Moisturise skin regularly to maintain hydration.

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least 24 hours.

  • Discontinue use and seek advice if irritation or discomfort occurs.

Aesthetic Treatment Safety

  • A full consultation will be carried out before aesthetic treatments to assess medical history and suitability.

  • Treatments are performed using approved products and techniques.

  • Medical or consultation information is treated as strictly confidential.

Aesthetic Aftercare

  • Follow all aftercare advice provided by your practitioner.

  • Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat for the advised period.

  • Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and usually resolves naturally.

  • Contact the salon if you experience unexpected or prolonged side effects.

Laser Treatment Safety

  • Laser treatments are only carried out following a consultation and, where required, a patch test.

  • Clients must avoid sun exposure, tanning products, and fake tan before and after treatment as advised.

  • Protective eyewear will be provided and must be worn during treatment.

  • Certain skin types, medical conditions, or medications may make laser treatment unsuitable.

Laser Aftercare

  • Avoid sun exposure and always use SPF as advised.

  • Keep the treated area clean and avoid heat treatments (saunas, hot baths) for the recommended period.

  • Mild redness or sensitivity is normal and should subside quickly.

  • Do not pick, scratch, or exfoliate the treated area until fully healed.

Client Responsibility

Clients are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate medical and personal information

  • Following all pre-treatment and aftercare instructions

  • Informing staff of any changes in health, medication, or skin condition

Failure to follow safety or aftercare guidance may increase the risk of adverse reactions and could affect treatment results.
