Our Approach

Moderation, guided by training

We believe moderate tanning — for people who can develop a tan — is the smartest way to get the benefits of sun exposure while minimizing the risks of too much or too little. Here's how every visit works.

STEP 01

We learn your skin

Every client starts with a conversation about skin type, history, and goals, so your plan starts from where your skin actually is.

STEP 02

You get a personal regimen

Our Smart Tan trained and certified staff set your session lengths and frequency — and adjust them as your tan builds, so you never overdo it.

STEP 03

You tan, relax, maintain

A few minutes a week is all it takes to get — and keep — that radiant, healthy-looking glow. Eyewear is provided, and we're always here to answer questions.

“Moderate tanning, for individuals who can develop a tan, is the smartest way to maximize the potential benefits of sun exposure while minimizing the risk.”

Our Story

A neighbourhood salon, a new home

After ten years in Tillicum Mall, Virtual Sun moved to its current home at 841 Vernon Avenue in Saanich Plaza — the same great service our clients know, in a fresh new space.

None of it would be possible without our clients' patronage and continued support. Each and every one of you has had a profound effect on us, professionally and personally — and we hope to keep earning your visits for many more years to come.

★★★★★

“Friendly, clean, great equipment, awesome music. Never a queue… Love tanning here the last 3 years and look forward to every visit.”
