WHY BADDIES TAN IN A BOOTH
NOBODY SEES YOU NAKED.
NOT EVEN US.
-
Nobody sees you naked. Not a therapist, not a receptionist, not us. Locked door, dim lights, do what you want in there.
-
No walk of shame. You don't traipse through a salon full of people in a paper thong. Your own door, your own room, straight back out to the car.
-
Nobody's fitting you in. No "next available is Thursday". You're the only appointment, every time.
-
Three jets, no Ross. Betty sprays from three separate nozzles at once — every angle, every pass, no streaks, no missed patch behind the knee, no one doing your bum by hand.
-
Six minutes. That's the actual tan. The rest of your 20 is undressing, drying and admiring.
-
Dark as you dare. Cool Babe, Side Bitch or Golden Guy in light, medium or heavy spray. All three 100% vegan, cruelty-free and paraben-free.
-
A salon through the wall. Fake Rumours is the little sister of The Rumours Are True, the salon it's attached to. Fourteen years of making people hotter, now open at 2am.

HELPING MELBOURNE BADDIES SINCE 2023
It's awesome to have a local 24/7 tanning booth.
As someone with little tanning experience, the instructions provided by the staff and by the tanning booth itself are really clear and easy to follow. Everything you need is provided in the room, couldn't be an easier experience.
I personally feel far more comfortable being tanned by a booth than a person. Highly recommend!
- JESS
Absolutely fantastic service. Team was amazingly helpful and responsive, booth was super easy to use and had everything you needed. The best way to get your tan to feel a bit glam
- LILY
Worth the hype. Super easy to use. The tan looks beautiful and natural and lasts ages. I fake tan weekly and this was so convenient. It’s my new go-to.

Betty runs the show, but there are real humans next door. During salon hours the team at The Rumours Are True can let you in, sort a hiccup, or tell you which shade to pick. After hours, text us — we’ll get back to you as fast as we can.

CHOOSE YOUR ALTER EGO
3 SHADES, 3 LEVELS.
Three solutions, three moods. All 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, nut-free. All of them come in light, medium or heavy spray, so you set how far it goes. Every tan looks its truest after 24 hours.
COOL BABE BRONZE RAPID
Cool, violet-brown, zero orange. She's the darkest one on the menu and the fastest — rinse at 1 hour if you're feeling coy, 2 if you're not, 3 if you've got somewhere to be and someone to see. If you're really looking for the deepest, darkest tan, leave for 6 - 8 or even better, sleep in it! Smells like coconut vanilla. Ready tonight.
RINSE: 1-3 hours
GOLDEN GUY
Warm brown with a violet edge — the deep, golden, lived-on-a-yacht bronze. Aloe, green tea and marine algae keep your skin soft while he develops. Reliable, flattering, always calls back.
RINSE: 6-8 hours
SIDE BITCH
No bronzer means no colour guide, which means no evidence. Nothing on your clothes, nothing on the sheets, nothing to explain. Develops quietly into the most natural, just-back-from-somewhere tan of the three. Watermelon, cranberry and tomato botanicals doing the work while you deny everything.
RINSE: 6-8 hours
THE PRIMER
Betty mists you with a pH-balancing primer before the colour goes on. It preps your skin so the tan develops faster, goes deeper and sits more evenly — especially if you’ve got dry skin or you’re going heavy. Most people ask about it once and then never skip it.
