About Safari Beach Tan

Safari Beach Tan opened its doors in 1988 with a simple belief: everyone deserves to look and feel their absolute best, and a beautiful, sun-kissed glow is one of the fastest ways to get there. What started as a single salon in Northwest Indiana has grown into four thriving locations serving the communities of Dyer, Crown Point, Portage, and Valparaiso.

Over nearly four decades, we have watched trends come and go. We have seen fly-by-night tanning places open up and disappear. What has kept Safari Beach Tan at the top of NWI tanning is not just our equipment. It is our commitment to the complete experience. From the moment you walk in off a grey Indiana day, you are stepping into warmth. Our professionally trained staff takes the time to understand your skin, your goals, and your lifestyle before recommending the perfect session or membership.

We have always believed that staying state-of-the-art is not optional. It is a promise we make to our customers. That philosophy led us to introduce our RedSun Hybrid booths, a breakthrough fusion of UV tanning and scientifically backed red light wavelengths that delivers a deeper glow while supporting skin rejuvenation and reduced inflammation. Our standup booth design — cleaner, quicker, cooler — gives you a superior tanning experience without the hassles of lay-down beds. And now, we are taking things even further with the launch of our dedicated full-body Red Light Therapy panels, representing the very latest in wellness technology and one of the most significant advancements in our 38-year history.

But technology is only part of the story. Walking into a Safari Beach location is an experience in itself. Our salons are designed to transport you, featuring curated pieces and design elements sourced from around the world to create a warm, immersive, tropical atmosphere unlike anything else in Northwest Indiana. Every detail, from the lighting and the scents to the rooms themselves, has been chosen to make your visit feel like a genuine escape.

Safari Beach Tan is for anyone who wants more than a pale Midwest winter. It is for the busy professional who needs to unwind for 10 minutes before heading home. It is for the fitness enthusiast who wants to complement their workout with red light recovery. It is for the bridal party getting ready for the big day, and for the everyday person who simply feels more confident with a little color. If you live in Northwest Indiana and you care about how you look and feel, Safari Beach Tan was built for you.

38-plus years of loyal customers, thousands of glowing transformations, and a team that genuinely loves what they do. That is the Safari Beach Tan story. And with our next chapter in red light wellness just beginning, the best is still ahead.
