Formerly known as the Hollywood Tans Group LLC, it is now just Hollywood Tans, a chain of salon franchises specializing in indoor tanning. From the compliance-oriented and highly structured model the company used to operate, it has reinvented itself through the expertise of its CEO and president Lewis Shender, and is now much more flexible. It has stopped running the business as a “one size fits all” operation.

History
Three years ago, Hollywood Tans engaged the services of celebrities to be the company’s so-called “tan-bassadors” who, in effect, acted as spokespersons for them and as representatives of their market segmentations. These included gymnast Brandon Wynn, who won the gold medal at the Pan American Games in 2011, 2002 Playboy Playmate of the Year Dalene Kurtis, and international go-go dancer Maya Michelle Rew.
According to Shender, these celebrity tan-bassadors exemplify the individuality and diversity of those who go to Hollywood Tans for different reasons. Kurtis, for instance, tans for the confidence that tanning gives her when she’s being photographed, Rew does the same thing because tanning is the “X” factor for her when she goes out on the town, and Wynn uses tanning to complement a competitive edge.
The trio succeeded in bringing about the much-needed turnaround for Hollywood Tans to add to the company’s total revenue of $60 million primarily from sales of proprietary blends for tanning lotions as well as skincare products and stand-up tanning booths four years ago. Hollywood Tans now has more than 140 tanning salons that are owned and operated independently and carry the company’s products exclusively.
Services
Hollywood Tans indoor tanning salons have stand-up tanning beds instead of the laying-in variety. The tanning process at Hollywood Tans does not involve any use of ultraviolet (UV) lighting of any kind. Their “Instant Tan” is powered by Mystic Tan®, a spray that mists the body with top-of-the-line moisturizers and premium quality bronzers to give customers an even, natural-looking, and smooth tan in mere seconds.
Their Mystic Tan® formulations come in four kinds: Build Glow that gives just a hint of color for light to medium skin, Build Light with one to three shades darker than the customer’s natural skin tone for medium skin, Build Medium which is two to four shades darker than the customer’s natural skin color for those with medium to dark skin, and Build Dark for medium dark to dark skin.
You also have options like a fast tan that is longer lasting with the HT High Pressure Booth. Two or three monthly visits are all you need to maintain a tan from the use of this booth. The filter used in this booth block outs most of the UV rays that cause the skin’s exfoliation to speed up and make your tan last longer. The maximum for stand time is between 11 and 15 minutes depending on which High Pressure Booth is chosen.
The HT60, the ultimate 8-minute tan, is the fastest among the booths that gives you a smooth and even base tan in just 3 or 4 sessions. Your tan builds up quickly with a safe 2% amount of UV light. The HT54 is an incredible 10-minute tan with a stand time of ten minutes, max that gives you an awesome-looking tan in 4 or 5 sessions. And the HT42 is great value for a great “off the beach” tan in 5 or 6 sessions.
Products
The specialized line of Hollywood Tans indoor tanning products include proprietary-blend lotions that include bronzers, moisturizers, and shower gels to help maintain your base tan in its even tone, keep your skin hydrated, and retain your skin’s suppleness. With Hollywood Tans lotions, your potential for maximum tanning is accelerated by the delivery of essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to keep your skin healthy.
These lotions come in Maximizer, Bronzer, Body Blush, Tingles, and Self-Tanner variants. The Maximer stimulates your melanin production to kick start the tan. The Bronzer increases your skin’s natural color with cosmetic bronzers that are DHA-based to develop a darker tone between 4 and 6 hours. These bronzers use ingredients such as caramel, walnut extract, and riboflavin that boost skin color but can be rinsed off.
The Body Blush intensifies tanning by an increase in oxygenation of the skin surface that is visible through a slight skin reddening with neither the heat nor the tingle that may be uncomfortable for some people. The Tingles help the blood to increase its flow at skin surface level for maximized melanin production; although there is skin reddening accompanied by a warm-to-hot sensation, this condition is not a health hazard.
The Self-Tanner is the most convenient Hollywood Tans product. It can provide a glowing and radiant golden bronze color on the skin between 3 and 4 hours of its application. Moreover, the Self-Tanner comes in handy when you want to look great in a hurry and there isn’t really sufficient time to get into one of the booths at Hollywood Tans. The Self-Tanner gives you a quick, easy, accessible tan without UV exposure.
