How long does it take for a white person to get tanned?
I'm asking this for my friend. She is quite attractive, but she wants to be "super hot" (her own words) and she says that she needs to get tanned. Unfortunately for her, she is white almost pale, and when she goes tanning, she doesn't tan, she gets a little red. How many 1-hour tans (from 3pm to 4pm) does it take for her to tan?
Any tips or any help would be great.

I represent a tanning salon company. Spray tans is the best bet, but she needs to call around to different salons and see who offers CUSTOM spray tans. YOU DO NOT WANT A MYSTIC SPRAY. Mystic turns orange and it streaks. When you get the custom spray tan, the individual spraying you can make the color even, and as dark as you would like. Her first visit you will get a few shades darker, if you want to get darker just go back. The more she spray tans, the longer the tan lasts because her body will adapt to the color and hold onto the color longer. The spray tan will last for about 2 weeks, then she'll need a touch up. It is well worth the money because she will get a beautiful tan in just 10 minutes. Before you go get a spray tan make sure you don't have on any makeup or any lotion products. Take a shower and scrub all the dead skin off. Wear baggy dark colors because the tan can rub off the first 6 hours. Shower about 6-14 hours after the spray but don't scrub you skin at all, it will cause the spray to fade.
In a tanning bed it should take about 5 vists to get dark (but it depends on her skin). High pressure beds allow a tan to be deeper and last longer. So she wants it to last a long time, then get a package in a high pressure bed.
I hope this helps and good luck to her!

It's a little different for everyone because skin makeup differs from person to person. It also depends on how tanned you want to get, of course the darker you want to be, the longer it'll take. Tanning in a salon would be faster (but more expensive then sitting around on a beach or backyard).
Make sure to wear some weak sunscreen while tanning, without it you'd get a bad orange burn that you yourself might not notice. This page might help you choose what type of sunscreen to wear.

You should start seeing results in a week or two, and remember to keep moisturized.

Tanning is unhealthy and leads to skin cancer, especially what you're talking about (that's not tanning, that's sunburn.)
Use fake tan.

First of all, if her skin is really fair, she needs to start out a little at a time...5 or 10 minutes and gradually increase her tanning time. Also, it depends on how well her skin absorbs the rays and how much melanin is in her skin. From my own experience, I have very light, pretty much pale skin too. If I tan more than 10 minutes at a time when starting out, I'll just burn and peel. Her body has to get used to it and learn to absorb the color. Also, she should use a tanning enhancing lotion she can get at any tanning salon. The people who work there should be able to tell her which ones are best for certain skin types, etc.... Hope this helps!

Tanning is extremely unhealthy and should be avoided. No doctors or medical associations recommend tanning. The main danger is skin cancer. Other harm includes eye damage and premature aging.
With regard to how long it takes, that depends on the person, there is no set amount of time.
