Re: eye protection

We provide eyewear for sale, not for use. When new customers come in, we make them sign an eyeprotection warning form, and we explain why we don't provide public eyewear. If not cleaned properly, it can transfer pink eye and over 100 other infections, between users. More colds are transfered through the eyes, than through the mouth. We stress that all tanners should purchase their own eyewear (the only law in my state is that it is provided for the tanner, either for sale or for use) and the damage that can be done by not protecting your eyes.

There are a few people who don't want to hear this, and really couldn't care one way or the other. But most younger tanners we will make them purchase eyewear when they are signing up. It is much safer for your salon to sell it to the customer, and the extra eyewear sales will add up to a lot more than you think!
