Premium All Salon Access vs At-Home Red Light: Which Fits You?

A lot of our regulars use our red light a few times a week and tell us they’ve noticed less inflammation. If you want consistent, professional-strength sessions with flexible booking and staff oversight, Premium All Salon Access tends to be the better fit. If you need something portable you can do at home on your schedule and you’re okay playing the long game on results, an at-home red light device can make sense. Here in Phoenix, especially after a long, hot summer, the right choice usually comes down to frequency, budget, and how much you want it handled for you.

Premium All Salon Access vs at-home red light therapy, in plain terms

Premium All Salon Access is our monthly membership at Ohana Sun Tanning. It’s designed for people who want consistent results across the board, not just one thing. You get all-access tanning, which includes tanning beds (sun beds), spray tan options, and red light therapy sessions, all under one membership price.

At-home red light therapy is exactly what it sounds like. You buy a device, set it up in your home, and follow the recommended time and distance. There’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, at-home is a great option if you travel a lot, you only want occasional maintenance, or you simply prefer doing things privately.

The trade-offs that actually matter: strength, consistency, comfort, and cost

1) Results and session strength

Most people are comparing salon red light therapy and at-home red light therapy because they want results they can feel or see, not just a nice-looking gadget on the counter. In general, salon-grade LED setups deliver higher irradiance than many consumer devices, so changes tend to show up faster when you’re consistent. We hear it in the way people talk about it: less inflammation, lower back pain improving, more energy, and skin looking healthier, especially in the face.

“I will honestly say since using the red light therapy my lower back pain has gone away!”

2) Consistency and the “it’s already in my routine” factor

At-home devices only work if you use them. And you have to use them a lot. If you know you’ll stick to a schedule, that’s a real win for home use. But if you’re the type who starts strong and then forgets, a membership helps because you’re already coming in for tanning beds or a spray tan, and red light is right there. A few of our clients even make it their go-to before tanning because it’s relaxing.

3) Oversight and safety

This is where professional oversight matters. Our team is hands-on about helping you pick the right bed and keeping you comfortable, especially if you’re new. That same approach carries into red light sessions. Let us know what you’re working on, skin recovery after a Phoenix summer, back tightness, general inflammation, and we’ll help you map out a pace that makes sense without overdoing it.

4) Real cost-per-session math (membership vs owning a device)

Premium All Salon Access is $110.95/month. If you use red light 2 times per week, that’s about 8 sessions a month, or roughly $13.87 per session. If you’re in 3 times per week, it drops to about 12 sessions a month, or roughly $9.25 per session. And remember, this membership isn’t only red light. It’s all-access tanning, including sun beds and spray tan options too, so the value climbs if you’re using more than one service.

With an at-home red light panel, you pay more upfront and then your “per session” cost drops over time. That’s great if you keep using it for a year or two. But you’re also betting on your own consistency, and many people end up using it less than they planned.

If you want faster feedback on skin and pain, Premium All Salon Access usually wins

Premium All Salon Access is a strong fit if you’re the kind of person who does better with a routine you can keep, especially if you’re already coming in for airbrush tanning, tanning beds, or a spray tan before events. It also makes sense if you’re trying to bounce back after Phoenix heat and sun exposure and you want something you can do consistently without fussing with setup at home.

An at-home red light device is a smarter pick if portability is the priority, you want full control of the schedule, or you truly only plan to use it occasionally. It can work. It just tends to take longer, and you’ll need the self-discipline to keep up with it.

Why Premium All Salon Access at Ohana feels different (and how to start)

We’ve been here in Phoenix for 17 years, and we run Ohana like a family business because it is one. People tell us the shop feels clean and up-to-date, and they love that the red light beds are relaxing. We also take the time to help you choose what makes sense, especially if you’re new to tanning beds or you’re mixing services like red light plus spray tan.

“There is nothing like feeling like family when you walk into any business.”
