There were a few salons in our area that were selling 30 tans for $30 for several years. Needless to say they are no longer in business. I don't know how any business can survive selling tans for so cheap. In this economy it's getting real hard to sell $100 bottles of lotions and upgrades to higher end beds. Everyone wants the cheapest price they can get (as a consumer, I can't blame them) but I don't know how a salon can pay the bills selling a product barely above cost.
