Anna’s A Fan of Tans

Anna Mason tries a tan with the student-run salon XTan.


Joining the ranks of Scruf Wear, Excess and Young Ones, X Tan is the latest business born from the brilliance of an Exeter student’s entrepreneurial mind.

Offering professional spray tans in your own home at student prices, third years Kate Rayner and Georgina Kerr are responsible for Exeter’s ever increasing population of girls and boys alike to be strutting
round campus with a summer glow.

“We are two girls who find the thought of our summer tan fading through the winter far too depressing to face. However, without ruining our skin with unhealthy sun beds, the only option is spray tans which can hit the bank balance hard.

“In an attempt to rectify
this issue, we have started up our own mobile business offering the ladies and gentlemen of Exeter salon quality spray tans at affordable prices, in the comfort of their own home”

The tan team arrived, armed with pop-up booth and spraying device, and transformed me from vampire to visibly bronze in just 6 minutes. With the looming, malnutritioned dread of SSB; you’re going to need all the help you can get. Cue X Tan.

Prices:

Full Body £15 (£12.50 with an Excess Card)
Half Body £10
TEAM TANS – Get a group of 10 together and get a full body for £10 each
