Why Glow Tanning Studio Made the Tough Decision to Close During Extreme Heat for Your Safety

We closed because the safest tanning session is the one we are prepared to say no to. During the recent extreme heat and red weather warning, Glow Tanning Studio took the responsible step to close our salon. This decision was not about business inconvenience but about putting the wellbeing of our customers and staff first. In this post, we explain why protecting everyone’s safety matters more than appointments or sales, and how responsible tanning means caring for your skin and body in all conditions.

The Problem: Extreme Heat Creates Unsafe Tanning Conditions

Extreme heat brings serious risks like heat stress, dehydration, and discomfort. When the UK issues a red weather warning, temperatures soar to levels that can make tanning sessions unsafe. For customers, this means increased worry about overheating and skin irritation. For staff, working in a hot salon environment can cause exhaustion and health issues.

Sunbeds generate heat themselves, and combined with already high ambient temperatures, the salon can become dangerously warm. This affects skin comfort and increases the risk of dehydration. Rushing or forcing tanning sessions under these conditions can lead to poor results and potential health problems.

What Responsible Tanning Means During Extreme Heat

Tanning is about more than just appearance. It’s about confidence, wellbeing, and responsible care. At Glow Tanning Studio, we believe every session should be safe, comfortable, and relaxing. That means:

• Avoiding tanning when the salon temperature is too high

• Staying hydrated before, during, and after sessions

• Listening to your body and avoiding tanning if you feel unwell

• Following professional tanning advice to protect your skin and health

  
  

Using sunbeds responsibly includes respecting operational standards and duty of care. This is why we never compromise on safety, even if it means closing the salon temporarily.
