any of us feel the winter blues and wish we could escape to a sunny destination. For Peninsula residents, the next best thing is located on Beacon Avenue at VI Tanning Centre.

Over two years ago James Greenwood, owner of VI Tanning Centre, opened his first tanning salon, formerly located at 2310 Beacon Avenue. James did not expect to find himself one day owning a salon but, after following his wife’s advice, he is now the proud owner of VI Tanning Centre. Today James’ salon is situated at a new location at 1022360 Beacon Avenue in Sidney. For those who haven’t tanned before, there is an abundance of information available at the salon. All staff have completed the Smart Tan certification course and are able to help new clients determine what is appropriate for their skin type. It is also ensured that every client has the correct safety eyewear. At VI Tanning Centre you will find Ambition 250 tanning beds with a 20-minute maximum time and a stand-up bed with a 10-minute maximum time. The Ambition 250 beds are designed for comfort and even distribution of UV light. While the beds have Super Power UV lights, the fan keeps clients cool and comfortable while tanning. For those who prefer tanning in a larger space, the stand-up bed provides more room and maintains even exposure of UV light to the body. In order to maximize the benefits of tanning, the salon provides a variety of high quality tanning lotions. The top brand carried at the salon is Devoted Creations. From among the lotions, the client can choose from a selection of scents and darkness levels which will further extend the results of tanning. Ed Hardy manufactures a popular line of tanning lotions with streak-free design and tropical scents that make your tanning experience seem like a mini-vacation. In addition to tanning beds, VI Tanning Centre provides

teeth whitening is fast, effective and 100-percent safe for the enamel. With business booming in the winter months, James has introduced a new promotion. Clients can purchase 200 tanning minutes for $55 from now until the end of the year. VI Tanning Centre also offers gift certificates; perfect for birthdays and the upcoming holidays. For those looking to purchase something for the avid tanner, you can find a large selection of high-end tanning lotions that any tanning enthusiast would covet. The vast selection of services provided at VI Tanning Centre may soon be available in other locations – James hopes to open a second location in Uptown Centre – but for now is on the waiting list for a location.
