Help on Opening a TANNING SALON!?

By Sonni · Wednesday

Does anyone know where I could find information on what it takes to open a tanning salon??? How much does it cost, legal stuff etc. Or does anyone have any experience owning a tanning salon? How did it work out for you?

Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you’ll inevitably have as well as many you haven’t anticipated yet.

Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

My daughter has had a Tanning Salon for some years now and has done very well. It is expensive as a start up if you get the best beds. She also has the new Spray On Booths which are expensive. She has seen a bit of a decline with new folks mainly because of the Economy but has retained her loyal customers for years. Best of luck.
