LAKE WORTH, Fla. – A new indoor tanning salon is open for business and gives customers a spa-like experience complete with tiki carvings. 

The Tiki Tanner, “where the islands meet the mainland,” is located at 603 Lake Ave. in downtown Lake Worth. It will feature the SunDome 548V, StarPower 548, Sunvision Elite 32 and SolarForce 652V tanning beds manufactured by ETS Tan, based in Indianapolis. These beds offer Wolff® system reflector lamps and advanced after-tan cooling systems. 

“For years I saw an increase in tanning prices and a decrease in overall quality, customer service and cleanliness,” said owner Derek Lucchesi. “Being a tanner for 15 years, I decided it was time to step in and offer more affordable tanning coupled with the best equipment and atmosphere.”

Looking for tanning equipment that is the best in the business, Lucchesi chose ETS Tan. He said the customer service department at ETS Tan was very knowledgeable and helpful, walking himself and co-owner Keith Blechner through every step of the process. “ETS offered the best prices, support and customer service around,” Lucchesi said. 

The salon carries a variety of designer tanning creams and lotions and is operated using software designed by Helios LLC, a sister company to ETS Tan that is a leader in providing tanning salon management and customer data software. 

The Tiki Tanner also offers customers a taste of the Pacific, from Polynesian art and jewelry to hand-carved tikis. It is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
