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!

Really am very pleased with my nails today, I normally have extensions but decided to try overlays on my own nails with shellac, very pleased with the outcome. Thanks to Lucy for her time & the end result & also to Kat for her help with colours. Very friendly staff & salon ????

I have been coming to hot chocolate for years now both for sunned use and more recent years to have my nails done also.
The staff are what makes the difference to any other sunbed place I have used, friendly and get to know their clients well.
What's great is you can have a catch up and a giggle at the same time as having some pampering time it makes all the difference to the clients and very much received, they are all nuts but fabulous with it!! Keep up the great work ladies :)
