Hot Chocolate Tanning Studio

17 Carlton Mews, The Carlton Centre, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN2 4FJ

About us

Hot Chocolate has been established for over 19 years and is situated on the Carlton Centre in the North of Lincoln.

We have 10 sunbeds; 7 stand-up and 3 laydown and cater for all level tanners. All our tanning units are serviced and maintain to the highest standard so our customers are guaranteed fantastic results, every time you tan. Our friendly staff are fully trained and are always happy to help. We provide convenient tanning with free parking outside, 7 days a week.

To achieve deeper, darker, longer lasting results we recommend that customers always use a tanning lotion before their tanning session. It is essential for your skin to be moisturised before you tan otherwise your skin will reflect up to 60% of the UV light. We offer a wide range of tanning lotions to suit all skin types including tingle, bronzers, maximisers and accelerators. Our fully trained staff are happy to advise on a lotion to suit your skin type and requirements.

We look forward to welcoming you to our salon!

I wasn't keen on using a sun bed but was persuaded it was safe and pleasant by my daughter. So glad I changed my mind. Lovely staff and lovely facilities - the lay down bed allows you to dream you're on a beach!

I usually don't have a problem but the people who were serving today 26/08 never clean the sunbeds. Last time I used the sunbed while they were on I ended using some many baby wipe to clean the floor of the cubicle and the bottom of the sunbed. It just takes 2 min to clean them and they weren't busy either.
