Williamsville NY Tanning Salon


The Village of Williamsville sits in the heart of Amherst, where Main Street's historic shops, the rushing water at Glen Park and the bustle of the Transit Road corridor all come together. It is one of the most beautiful corners of the Buffalo Northtowns — but eight months of the year it is also one of the cloudiest. When the lake-effect skies roll in and the sun disappears behind a gray ceiling, Williamsville residents come to Extreme Sun Capsule to keep their color, their warmth and their summertime mood alive all year long.

Although we are not located inside the village itself, both of our salons are an easy hop from Williamsville. We have been Western New York's go-to tanning destination for more than 20 years, and we are proud to welcome neighbors from the 14221 and surrounding Amherst ZIP codes through our doors every single day.

Two Tanning Salons Just Minutes from Williamsville

Convenience is everything when you are squeezing a tanning session in between work, errands on Transit Road and picking the kids up from a Williamsville Central School. That is why having two Extreme Sun Capsule locations on the east side of Buffalo works so well for Amherst-area tanners. Our larger Cheektowaga salon at 3637 Union Rd is a straight shot south from the village — usually about ten minutes — and it is open Monday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. If you are running south or east toward the Thruway, our Depew salon at 1402 French Rd is just as close along the Transit Road and Walden Avenue routes, open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM and weekends from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Between the two, you can almost always find a bed open early in the morning before the commute or late at night after the gym. Walk-ins are welcome at both salons, so there is no need to plan your week around an appointment — just stop in when it suits you.

Beat the Western New York Winter with a Year-Round Glow

Anyone who has spent a winter in Williamsville knows the feeling: months of short, dim days, shoveling out the driveway, and skin that has lost every bit of the bronze it had in August. Buffalo's famous lake-effect cloud cover means we go long stretches without meaningful sunshine, and that takes a toll on more than just your tan. Many of our Amherst guests tell us their visits are as much about mood and warmth as they are about color.

Stepping into a warm tanning bed in the middle of a February squall is a genuine reset. The gentle heat, the quiet and the glow help chase away the gray-sky blues, and a healthy-looking base tan means you are never caught pale when a sudden warm weekend, a winter getaway or a spring break trip rolls around. Our regulars treat a couple of sessions a week as their own small slice of summer, no matter what the weather is doing outside.

A Full Menu of Tanning & Wellness Services

Extreme Sun Capsule is far more than a row of tanning beds. Over two decades we have grown into a complete tan-and-wellness destination, and Williamsville guests have the full menu to choose from:

  • UV Tanning Beds & Booths: A range of beds from gentle starter levels up to our high-performance Level 5 KBL P95 bed, which pairs UVA/UVB lamps with red light therapy, full-body misters and aromatherapy for a deep, even, luxurious tan.
  • Custom Spray Tanning: A flawless, UV-free glow applied in minutes — perfect for an event when you want instant color with zero sun exposure.
  • Hydromassage with Red Light Therapy: Relax on a warm water-massage bed while skin-rejuvenating red light goes to work on tone and texture.
  • Infrared Sauna: Detoxifying, deeply relaxing infrared heat that soothes muscles and warms you from the inside out.
  • LED Lipo Body Contouring: A non-invasive, light-based treatment that targets stubborn areas with no downtime.
  • Slim Pod Wellness Cocoon: A private cocoon combining infrared sauna heat with whole-body vibration massage.
  • Revita Skin Treatment: LED light facials and red light skin wellness to brighten and refresh your complexion.

Not sure where to start? Our staff will walk you through the options and help you build a routine that fits your skin type and your goals, whether that is a deep dark tan, a subtle glow or a relaxing wellness ritual.

Why Williamsville Chooses Extreme Sun Capsule

The Northtowns are not short on places that offer a tanning bed, so why do so many Amherst and Williamsville residents make the short drive to us? It comes down to experience and trust. We were one of the very first tanning salons to open in Western New York, and after 20-plus years we still take cleanliness, safety and customer care seriously every single day. Every salon is licensed by the New York State Department of Health, and our equipment is sanitized between every guest.

We also keep premium products on hand, carrying top lotions from Australian Gold and Designer Skin at price points for every budget. Our pricing is genuinely competitive — the headline $19.99 per month Unlimited Tanning Package is one of the best values in the region — and we will gladly accept any competitor's coupon, so there is no reason to overpay for great color. Add in a friendly, knowledgeable staff who remember your name, and it is easy to see why Williamsville tanners stick with us season after season.

Tanning for Williamsville's Big Moments

Life in Williamsville is full of occasions worth looking your best for. Prom season at Williamsville East, North and South sends a steady stream of students our way for a confidence-boosting glow before the big night. Brides and bridal parties book spray tans ahead of summer weddings at venues across Amherst and beyond. And when a winter escape to Florida or the Caribbean is on the calendar, a pre-vacation base tan helps protect against that first-day burn.

Spray tanning is especially popular for these moments because it delivers instant, photo-ready color with no UV exposure and no waiting. Whether it is a class reunion, a milestone birthday, a beach trip or a family photo session, we will help you walk in pale and walk out glowing, right on schedule.

Memberships, Walk-Ins & Getting Started

Getting started could not be simpler. New to indoor tanning? Stop in and our team will assess your skin type, recommend a safe starting time and pick the right bed so you build color gradually and evenly — never a burn. Prefer to commit? The $19.99 monthly unlimited membership is the favorite among our regulars, but we also offer single sessions and prepaid packages for occasional tanners and event-only visits.

Because walk-ins are always welcome, you can tan on your own schedule — before work, on a lunch break or after a Sabres game. If you would rather plan ahead, give your nearest location a call and we will have everything ready. However you like to tan, the team at Extreme Sun Capsule is ready to help Williamsville look and feel its best, 365 days a year.
