The salon note

Less appointment,
more ritual.

Solara was created to make tanning feel less like an appointment and more like a ritual — a quiet twenty minutes that belong entirely to you. Every room is prepared before you arrive, every bed sanitised and set, every lamp calibrated for an even, natural finish.

Our team reads your skin before it reads a schedule. We build your sessions gradually, pair them with the right aftercare, and keep the pace unhurried — because a good tan is built, never rushed.

The first salon I have been to that feels like a treatment room rather than a corridor. Immaculate, calm, and the colour is genuinely even.

Hannah R. Monthly member

They talked me out of a longer session on my first visit and built it up over three weeks instead. That honesty is why I still go.

Priya M. Course of ten

Signature suite is worth every penny. Thirty quiet minutes, perfect lighting, and the aftercare balm they recommended is excellent.

Daniel K. Signature suite

Walked in on a Sunday without booking and was in a room within ten minutes. Spotless throughout and the team are lovely.
