SunFactory

A tanning chain with top-tier equipment in Tallinn

SunFactory is a Tallinn tanning salon chain, and the directory lists four tanning centers for it, all within Tallinn. According to its description, every center uses Megasun and Ergoline tanning equipment, both among the better-known manufacturers in the field, suggesting the chain has invested in its equipment rather than relying on older or less recognized models.

The chain's second point of difference is the tanning cosmetics it sells: according to the description, SunFactory sells Devoted Creations premium tanning cosmetics. That means, beyond access to the equipment itself, centers also stock products designed specifically for tanning — clients wanting a faster or more even result can pick up cosmetics on site.

In the directory, SunFactory's price level is marked as €, the lowest of the three tiers the directory uses. That's typical for a tanning chain, where price is usually calculated per minute and regular visits work out cheaper than one-off sessions, and it fits the chain's combination of top-tier equipment and frequent use.

Four centers across Tallinn

All four SunFactory centers are in Tallinn, but in different districts, meaning the chain covers a large part of the city without concentrating on one area or expanding into other Estonian cities. The four centers being spread across three districts is also one reason the chain can offer access to a large share of Tallinn's population.

In Lasnamäe there are, according to the directory, actually two centers: Mahtra keskus (Mahtra 32) and Vikerlase keskus (Vikerlase 11). Having two Lasnamäe centers means residents in different parts of this large, dense district have at least one SunFactory nearby, without needing to cross to the other end of the district. It is also the only district where the chain has more than one center according to the directory.

There is a center in Kristiine on Sõpruse puiestee (Sõpruse pst 3) and one in the city center along Tartu maantee (Tartu mnt 24). These two centers extend the chain's coverage from Lasnamäe into the city center and Kristiine, bringing the total to four centers across four different areas.

Altogether, that gives four centers across three districts — two in Lasnamäe, one in Kristiine and one in the city center — so a large share of Tallinn residents have some SunFactory center relatively close by, regardless of which part of the city they're in.

What to expect and how to choose

Since all four centers use the same Megasun and Ergoline equipment and sell the same Devoted Creations cosmetics according to the directory, there is no real difference in equipment or cosmetics between centers — the choice mainly comes down to location and opening hours.

Choosing a center mostly comes down to which district is on your daily route: Lasnamäe residents actually have two options — Mahtra and Vikerlase centers — while Kristiine and city-center residents each have their own nearest center without needing to travel to Lasnamäe.

According to the directory, SunFactory's price level sits in the affordable € bracket. The exact per-minute price and tanning-cosmetics prices need to be confirmed with the chosen center, since the directory does not publish a price list or invent figures. According to the directory, the same principles apply across all four centers, so pricing information from one center gives a good idea of the others too.
