When you are thinking about places to get that perfect beachy tan, Iowa is probably not high on your list. While we have a lot going for us, we tend to see more farmers’ tans than bikini lines. It’s just one of those situations where you might just have to fake it until you make it. Luckily, we have lots of good salons to help you out! As a Des Moines fine art portrait photographer, I get the chance to help out tons of people getting ready for their sessions. Here are the tanning salons around Pella, Iowa I always recommend!
