Is sunless tanning worth the cost and room? - Page 3

Ezliving_Jim · 11-02-2005, 12:07 AM

As I have said before, adding a sunless booth was the biggest mistake I made since I got into the indoor tanning business.

Your mileage may vary.

I never understood it personally. When I went to a salon, I never even thought about using it, I like the real thing. No offense to anyone, but if your skin will not tan the natural way, then why bother? You just come out looking like a pumpkin. I can always tell when someone uses sunless if they have no natural tan underneath it. I think it is funny.

A salon chain in my city runs monthly unlimited in mystic for 39.95.Three years ago this was almost the going price for a single session.Why spend 30k or 20k on something that is going down in value so fast.This is the going price of monthly unlimited tanning in a low pressure bed. Would you spend that much money on a low pressure bed?I think NOT.

I have sprayed well over 600 people and NO ONE ever looked like a pumpkin ! Why bother ? , because some people can't get tanned and some have cancer or it runs in their family for special occassions, there alot of reasons for doing it.

my revenue was up by 1k last month all due to sunless services.

I really was considering going the route of someone spraying customers, but.........i just thought, wouldn't customers really prefer the privacy of a booth ? What about the ones who don't want tan lines ? So i went with the booth and.......well it's been ok, but still a lttle dissapointing. I'm thinking of running a month unlimited as a special but not on a permanent basis. Any opinions ?

Good luck! I had a spray booth and got rid of it. It was way to much trouble. You had to make sure the amount of spray coming out was just right, you had to make sure the spray heads were cleaned often or else it would squirt out instead of spraying out. You never knew when the people came out what they were going to look like. Hard to pay for something that expensive when you have a lot of one time users.
