Hi i think i agree with what everyone is saying although sunbeds are extremely popular there also very dangerous and the most efficient and instant way of getting a tan is through spray tans. They do offer the stand and tan booths now for rent and lease not just to buy, there like a standing sun bed but when u step in they spray you with the tanning lotion there quite popular i think!!

Thanks, I didn't realise so many people have stopped using sunbeds, but now I have decided not to get a sunbed eventually if people do ask if I have a sunbed I may consider.
Pringle mouth, do you use spray tan?

I think you are doing the right thing.There is a sunbed at the gym i go to and some members can even use them free and no ones ever on them.

Hello Jen

we use Tantrick spray tan at my salon, clients are really pleased with it, comes in four shades too which gives them choice. It's supplied by Collin's company but I notice that he has not tried to influence you into taking on the product or even mention it in fact, very fair of him, but I would certainly endorse it.

There are many good Spray tan solution providers out there.

Give as many as you can find a call and ask for as much information as possible on equipment as well as solution choices available,ensure that adequate accredited training will be provided and check out issues such as after sales service..what happens if there is a failure with equipment provided etc etc.

Once you have identified a short list of 2 or 3 book yourself in for a spray tan with a salon nearest you so that you can trial the short listed products for yourself.

Then simply sit down and reflect over your final short list and make a decision.

HTH

In the salon where I work, sunbeds are certainly NOT last year!

Its a big salon which does beauty and holistic treatments. It has 4 standup sundbeds and believe you me, we are always busy. On Saturdays there is a queue to use these beds.

At £1 per minute, and now 50p per minute special offer, they are certainly popular!

Sorry I dont know much about the sunbed business but I'm sure its worth having a look around for information on having one in your salon.

Goodluck.X

Thanks for all your advice. Its really helped.

Still deciding about whether or not to have a sunbed, might open the salon without one and then if clients start asking for it, i think i'll give Collins friend a ring!

Not in anyway blaming you so don't take my comments personally,but i feel this is very irresponsible to only be charging this kind of price.
I imagine the majority of the customers are young girls.Who are at the stage of their lives when they throw caution to the wind with their health and certainly have no interest in wrinkles and ageing, they just want a tan and at 50p a minute they can certainly afford it.

It certainly is young girls. Although from what I have seen he has got some regular older clients as well. I think some of these people do get addicted to it as well as they are in the salon VERY often.

For obvious reasons, I've never used a sunbed but common sense tells me it cant good to use it on a regular basis!

Sorry about hijacking your thread!

No problem, its nice to see what everyone thinks about various issues.

Actually can anyone tell me what would be a nice colour to paint my retail area and treatment room. I thought grey white and red??

Bright PINK would be good

Thanks Collin, but I think thats too girlie for my liking, I want to be able to attract men too!

Cream and dark red is nice. Not sure about the grey, lol
This is where I work.http://www.beautyatthebeach.co.uk/picture_gallery.htm

Thanks Andrea, looks really nice. The only reason I chose grey was to match the dermologica products

Can we please talk about the pictures that nailzoo put in her thread?

What is that first guy like? No mirrors where he comes from methinks!!


So so funny!
