hi all i have recently opened my home beauty salon now i have a reception area a toilet(of course) a beauty treatment room and a spray tanning room. We have radiator in reception and toilet and beauty room but not one in tanning room as it was advised to us not to that it would be ruined with spray and we wouldn need it. My partner fitted a fan and all in so it would filter any fumes away. It is tiled from top to bottom including floor. its situated at the back of our garage separte place separte door etc but the air to the fan is coming from garage we are getting a door on the garage this week and our boiler is in there so it will be alot warmer air circulating. O.k the problem is i find it hard to heat the tanning room try to put electric heater in before client comes to heat it up helps but then i have to take it before start spraying them and the next client comes iu cant do this cause i'm straight in starting that person. sorry this is so long guys i'm just wondering what you guys all do. Also my beauty room can still sometimes be a tad cold for likes of facials and body treatments the radiator has been bleed several times. would heated blanket help. appreciate any advice
 
As long as you have an extractor fan, which from the looks of your post, you do, then there really shouldn't be any problem with having a radiator/heat source in there. You should still be wiping surfaces down daily anyway, but the extractor fan will solve a lot of problems.

Re your beauty room, a heated blanket would definitely help!! There's nothing like having a massage/facial on a heated mattress, it really aids the relaxation process! Even having waxing can be a more pleasant experience :)

Hope that helps a little?

Thanks for your reply, would a heted blanket be o.k or is there a specific one that is best. too late now to install radiator do you think an infra red heater would help clients feel less chilly. you know how it is they complain when your spraying thats its freezing and you feel so bad. My problem is i have perspex fitted to the back of door to protect in and the heat from my electic heater seems to be affecting it not in good way like causing to come away from door abit. hope you understand what i'm saying as i'm confused myself sorry:hug::hug:
 
Tina,

you can get a cheap electric free standing oil filled radiator which would be perfect for you to heat the room....buy a plug in timer so you can set the heater to come on say half an hr before the day starts.

These heaters have stats so you can maintain an even temperature and are not to expensive to run.

thanks colin would it be o.k with the spray and that. I found when i put my electirc heater in it was affecting the perspex on the back of my door like causing it to swell and then i had to be real careful when opening and closing the door. not meaning to sound tight but thoses electric oil filled heaters are so sore on electric would any other heater be suitable.:hug::hug: I dont want clients to be cold but i put the fan extraction in so it would be healtheir for me and the clients. cant win eh!!

erm....dont put any form of electric heating within the spraytan cubicle area itself :eek:

You definatley need adequate extraction so that needs to stay.

can you not heat the area outside of the spraytan cubicle area itself??
 
i dont use a spray tan cubicle, i had a tent but that was why we built a separate tanning room which is tiled from top to bottom. so i have no need for it.:hug:
