Re: What's a typical day like in a tanning salon?
For me it changes day to day, but most days I get here an hour early. I tan. Fold towels and clean. Open the door as soon as I am done. My early birds get here, sit around and talke for about 45 minutes. I wish they would move along so I can do inventory and place a lotion order. I track everything with an excle spread sheet, because I've been over charged and shorted. I think of creative marketing.... sales etc. Change the letters on the sign outside. Weed my garden and clean the parking lot. I break up a fight between clients regarding music levels. For the most part my day is great. Although there is a 19 year old who wants to tell me how baby oil is great for my acrylics and that she always goes for 20 minutes her first day of tanning a year. I have to re train new employees/volunteers because the turn over is so high. I hope to have Saturday off. It will be my third day off in 7 months. I work till about 8PM each night and then go home and pay bills and taxes. I have to get to Sam's club and get laundry detergent and bathroom tissue. I won't even make $20k this year.... and work 6 days a week 12 hrs a day...........
