It is over saturated in our part of the country with owners who are clueless as to what they are doing. I am sincere in saying that. We are NOT a regulated state. Some(most)of the facilities providing tanning simply have NO clue as to what is in the best interest of the client. For example a styling salon nearby has 3 tanning units (antique I may add). They have you fill out absolutely NO paperwork. All you do is walk in give your name and they tell you which room. They determine NO exposure times. If the client wants to stay in for 30 minutes his/her first visit that is what they do. They provide NO eyewear and sell no eyewear. They clean NO beds. The client cleans the bed with who knows what solution. I have been told by clients that they have witnessed the cleanser low and the girls go to the sink and fill the bottle up without adding anything to it. So around here, yes, we are "over saturated" with those who only care about the "add-on" $$ they can bring in and have no clue or interest how to make a positive difference in this industry! We are in our 11th month and I have no regret in saying that 2 similiar businesses offering tanning have closed in the last six weeks. I wish those who are striving to make a difference in this industry (in a positive way) and have the best interest of the client in mind the best of luck and much success...to the rest...I will continue to take your clients and feel good about it...knowing that our efforts to provide OUR AREA with the best educated indoor tanning experience is what this industry should be all about
