I’m not really a tanning typa girl. I’d much rather have a few natural freckles than an all over lumunious tango glow. As far as I’m concerned, being a girl requires anough maintenance already, make-up, hair, clothes– keeping a tan in a climate like the Irish one just seems way too much like hard work to me. I popped in to Get the Glow recently, just at the Grand Parade Junction on the Castlereagh Road. I usually pass this place daily on my way to the local shop and there is a constant flow of women milling in and out of the place. I was shown round by one of the girls who worked there, they won’t win any prizes for customer service, but they’re not rude either. Get the Glow basically does what it says on the tin, they provide a sunbed tanning service which works out at 60p a minute. There are always special offers on, just give them a call if you need more info. One of the advantages of this particular tanning saloon, I am reliably informed, is that you can relax with a nice can of coke or other such beverage on the sunbeds! They also provide the latest in home gym technology, with some vibro plate excercise machines in the back. Basically you stand on this machine and it vibrates, leaving you toned and honed. The vibro plates cost £20 per month to use. It also means that when you’re standing at reception, you can hear some local ladies having chats as their voices shake and wobble like baaing sheep!
