Get a Sun-Kissed Glow
Eden has earned its nickname as the garden spot of Western New York honestly. This rural Southtowns community is a patchwork of working farms, roadside stands and rolling fields, the kind of place where the seasons are measured by what is in the ground and what is coming up next. It is also a town that wears its quirks with pride — home to the Original American Kazoo Company, the last metal kazoo factory in the country, and to the beloved Eden Corn Festival that draws the whole region every summer. There is a lot of personality packed into this quiet farm country.
What Eden does not have is its own tanning salon. That is where Extreme Sun Capsule comes in. We are a scenic drive north of the fields, and for more than 20 years we have been one of Western New York's original and most trusted tanning destinations. Folks from the 14057 ZIP and the surrounding countryside are always welcome, whether they are chasing a deep tan, a quick glow for a special weekend or a warm wellness break from the long northern winter.
We will be straight with you about geography: Eden sits well out in the rural Southtowns, so we are a destination rather than a corner stop. From the heart of town, plan on roughly a 30 to 35 minute drive north to reach us, with our Cheektowaga salon at 3637 Union Rd being the closer of our two locations. If your route runs a bit farther east toward the Thruway, our Depew salon at 1402 French Rd is only a few minutes past that.
Here is why Eden tanners make the trip without a second thought. Country living means regular runs into the suburbs anyway — for the larger stores, the doctor, the airport or a weekend out. Stacking a tanning session onto a trip you were already taking turns the distance into simple convenience. Come up, get your color, tackle the errands you had on the list and head back to the quiet of the farm. With long daily hours at both salons, you can fit a session in early or late, whatever suits the day.
Life in a farming town is lived outdoors, and a summer of work and play in the fields, the garden and the yard leaves Eden looking healthy and sun-kissed. The catch is that the color does not last. Once the harvest wraps and the gray clouds settle in for their long Western New York stay, that summer tan fades fast, and the short, dark days do nothing to bring it back.
A steady indoor routine keeps the glow going no matter what the calendar or the sky is doing. A couple of sessions a week help our Eden regulars hold a healthy-looking base tan from one growing season to the next, so they never look washed out in the dead of winter. And there is more to it than color. Easing into a warm bed while a January wind whips across open country is a real lift for the spirits — a pocket of summer warmth you can count on when the outdoors has nothing to offer. A lot of our country guests say the warmth and the mood boost are exactly why they keep coming.
Eden takes pride in being a little different, and we like to think we match that with a tanning and wellness menu that goes well beyond the basics. Everything here is open to our Southtowns guests:
New to all this? Our staff will happily walk you through every option and help build a routine around your skin type and your goals, whether that is a rich dark tan, a subtle natural glow or a relaxing wellness session to round out a trip into town.
Because Eden is a fair drive out, we want every visit to earn its keep. That is part of why we built the menu the way we did. A single stop can become a proper retreat from the daily grind: start with a UV session or a custom spray tan, settle into the hydromassage bed beneath the red light, then warm through in the infrared sauna before the ride home. You get errands and a little luxury in one outing.
It is also the savvy way to get full value from the miles. Instead of separate short trips, our rural guests tend to combine a few services into one unhurried visit. Our team is glad to help you line up a sequence that fits your schedule, so the afternoon feels relaxed and complete before you head back out to the countryside.
With Eden being a bit of a drive, why do so many country residents choose us over something closer? Experience, trust and plain value. We were one of the first tanning salons to open anywhere in Western New York, and after 20-plus years we still put cleanliness, safety and friendly service at the center of everything. Both locations are licensed by the New York State Department of Health, and every bed, booth and room is sanitized between guests.
We stock premium products too, carrying top lotions from Australian Gold and Designer Skin at prices for every budget. And the value is real — the $19.99 per month Unlimited Tanning Package is one of the best deals in the region, and we will happily take any competitor's coupon, so you never overpay for a great tan. Add a down-to-earth team that remembers your name and your routine, and a trip up from the garden spot starts to feel a lot like visiting friends who are glad you came.
Getting started is easy. Brand new to indoor tanning? Come in and our team will check your skin type, set a safe starting time and pick the right bed so your color builds slowly and evenly — never a burn. Ready to commit? The $19.99 monthly unlimited membership is the runaway favorite, and since there is no closer salon for Eden residents, it is the choice that makes a country drive truly pay off. We also offer single sessions and prepaid packages for the occasional tanner or a one-time event.
Walk-ins are always welcome for UV tanning, so you can drop in whenever your trip into the suburbs lines up — morning, midday or evening. Prefer to plan, especially for a spray tan? Give our nearest location a quick call and we will have everything ready when you arrive. However you like to tan, the team at Extreme Sun Capsule is here to help Eden keep that garden-spot glow all year long.
Our Cheektowaga salon at 3637 Union Rd is the closest of our two locations to Eden, roughly a 30 to 35 minute drive north from the garden-spot countryside. Our Depew salon at 1402 French Rd sits a little farther east. Plenty of Eden tanners build the visit into a trip up to Cheektowaga for shopping or appointments.
We think so, and our country regulars agree. Eden residents already head into the suburbs for the bigger errands, so pairing a tanning session with a trip you were making anyway turns the drive into easy convenience. With our $19.99 unlimited membership and long daily hours, the trip pays for itself in no time.
A summer of work and play outdoors gives Eden a real tan, but that color disappears the moment the fields go quiet and the gray Western New York winter sets in. Indoor sessions keep a healthy-looking base tan going year round, and the warmth is a genuine lift on the short, dark days between harvest and spring.
Absolutely. Our custom spray tanning is completely UV-free and gives a natural, streak-free glow in minutes, perfect before a summer wedding, a family photo or a big community weekend. You walk in pale and walk out with even, photo-ready color and zero sun exposure.
We offer UV tanning beds and booths at several intensity levels, including a Level 5 KBL P95 bed with red light therapy, misters and aromatherapy, along with custom spray tanning, hydromassage with red light therapy, infrared sauna, LED lipo body contouring, the Slim Pod wellness cocoon and Revita LED light skin treatments.
Walk-ins are always welcome for UV tanning beds and booths at both locations, which suits a spur-of-the-moment trip into town. For spray tanning and some wellness services we recommend calling ahead so a technician and a room are ready when you get there.
We keep single sessions, prepaid packages and monthly memberships available. Our most popular option is the $19.99 per month Unlimited Tanning Package, which is one of the best values in the region and ideal when you are driving in from Eden. We also accept competitors' coupons, so it is easy to compare and save.
Yes. Extreme Sun Capsule is licensed by the New York State Department of Health and sanitizes every bed, booth and room between guests, with more than 20 years of doing it right.
