Woodlawn NY Tanning Salon

Keep Your Lake Erie Summer Glow All Year

There is something special about the color you pick up over a summer at Woodlawn Beach — it is earned slowly, afternoon by afternoon, with the sound of the waves in the background. The trouble is that a natural beach tan does not last. Within a few weeks of the season ending, the bronze fades and the mirror reminds you that another long, gray Buffalo winter is on the way. Indoor tanning is how a lot of Woodlawn regulars keep that summer feeling going.

A steady rhythm of a couple of sessions a week is usually all it takes to maintain the depth and warmth your skin had in August. Instead of starting from scratch every June, you carry your glow straight through the fall, winter and spring — so when Woodlawn Beach State Park reopens, you are already golden rather than pasty-pale. For people whose summers revolve around the lake, that continuity is the whole appeal.

A Quick Trip Up from the Lakeshore

Woodlawn sits right on the water, and getting to us is a simple run north toward the city. Our larger Cheektowaga salon at 3637 Union Rd is the closest of our two locations — roughly 20 minutes from the lakeshore — and it is open every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, so a session fits before work, after the gym or on a slow Sunday. If your travels take you farther east instead, the Depew salon at 1402 French Rd is the second option, open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM and weekends from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Walk-ins are always welcome for UV tanning, so there is no need to plan your week around an appointment. With the beach season so short, our Woodlawn guests appreciate being able to drop in whenever the mood strikes and keep their color topped up on their own schedule.

Beach-Quality Color Without the Wait — Spray Tanning

Not everyone wants UV exposure, and some weeks you simply want instant color before an event. That is where our custom spray tanning comes in. It is completely UV-free, applied for a natural, even, streak-free finish, and our technicians can dial the depth up or down so it mirrors the beach color you carried home from Lake Erie all summer.

It is a favorite ahead of weddings, reunions, milestone birthdays and winter getaways — any time you want to look freshly sun-kissed without spending an afternoon outdoors. A single quick visit and you walk out glowing, photo-ready and beach-bronzed even in the dead of February.

Trusted by the Lake Erie Community for 20+ Years

There are other places to find a tanning bed, but Woodlawn beachgoers keep choosing us for the same reasons our regulars always have: experience and trust. We were one of the very first tanning salons in Western New York, and after two decades-plus we still treat cleanliness, safety and friendly service as the foundation of everything. Every salon is licensed by the New York State Department of Health, and equipment is sanitized between every guest.

We back that up with genuine value. The $19.99 per month Unlimited Tanning Package is one of the best deals around for anyone maintaining color through the off-season, and we happily accept competitors' coupons so you never overpay. Add premium lotions from Australian Gold and Designer Skin and a team that learns your name, and it is easy to see why Woodlawn tanners make us part of their year-round routine.

Warm Up When the Lake Wind Bites

Anyone who lives near the Woodlawn shoreline knows how cold and damp the air off Lake Erie can get once the warm months are gone. The wind comes straight across the water, the sky goes gray for weeks at a stretch, and the cheerful summer beach mood can be hard to hold onto. Stepping into a warm tanning bed or our infrared sauna is a genuine reset in the middle of all that.

The gentle heat, the quiet and the glow help chase off the gray-sky blues, and there is real comfort in carrying a little slice of summer with you through a Buffalo winter. Whether you come to maintain your beach tan, to warm up, or simply to feel a bit more like yourself in January, the team at Extreme Sun Capsule is ready to help Woodlawn shine all year. Walk in whenever it suits you, or give your nearest location a call — we will have everything ready and waiting.
