So you're looking for that perfect sun-kissed look but maybe don't want to bake on Herzliya Pituach beach all day, or maybe the weather isn't cooperating. I completely get it. Tanning salons around here have really stepped up their game, offering everything from spray tans to sunbeds, which means you've got options. Finding a good spot can be tricky, especially with so many places popping up. You want somewhere clean, professional, and where you won't end up looking like an Oompa Loompa. My friends and I have tried a few over the years, and there are definitely some standouts worth checking out. It’s all about getting that natural, healthy glow that makes you feel great, without the hassle.
Local tips — Herzliya
When you're searching for a tanning salon, start your hunt around Sokolov Street or even closer to the Herzliya train station area. You'll often find smaller, independent beauty spots there that offer personalized service. Booking in advance is always a smart move, especially before chagim (holidays) or during summer. Don't just show up; give them a call first to make sure they have a slot for you and to confirm their hours. Parking can be a pain, especially near the main roads. If you're driving, look for places with nearby public parking lots or, failing that, aim for a salon that’s a bit off the main drag where street parking might be easier. Prices for a single spray tan session usually range from about ₪150 to ₪250, depending on the salon and the products they use. Sunbed sessions often start around ₪50-₪80 for a shorter time. Always ask about package deals; they can save you a fair bit if you plan on going regularly. Before you commit, ask about the brands of products they use. For spray tans, you want to know if it's reputable and if they offer different shades. For sunbeds, inquire about the lamp maintenance; newer lamps give better results and are generally safer.
FAQ
What should I do before a spray tan?
Make sure to exfoliate your skin thoroughly the day before, paying extra attention to elbows and knees. Shower and shave beforehand, but don't apply any lotions, deodorants, or makeup right before your appointment.
How long does a spray tan usually last?
A good spray tan typically lasts between 5 to 7 days, sometimes up to 10. How you care for it afterwards, like moisturizing daily and avoiding harsh scrubbing, really affects its longevity.
Are sunbeds still popular in Herzliya?
Yes, some salons still offer sunbeds, though spray tans have become much more popular locally due to health concerns. If you prefer sunbeds, always check the salon's reviews and hygiene standards.
Can I go swimming after a spray tan?
It's best to wait at least 8-12 hours after your spray tan for it to fully develop before swimming or showering. Chlorine can also make your tan fade faster, so try to limit pool time if you want it to last.
What's the best way to maintain my tan?
Keeping your skin hydrated is key. Use a good, non-oil-based moisturizer daily. Avoid long hot showers, and pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it vigorously after bathing.
