My SmartTan membership came with a nice seminar & materials on this topic, Tenn Tanning. If you're opening a salon, spend the $300 odd dollars on this membership!! Priceless....

***If they are under 18, they can tan without parents consent.
***If they are under 16, parent has to sign the waiver.
***If they are under 15, parent has to sign the waiver and they have to be present at the salon for the teenager to tan.

depends on what your local regulations are

In Tennessee, you don't have any state regulations to guide you. I require a parent signature on the consent form when they sign up the first time if under 18. After that, same as everyone else. Be particularly careful not to let them burn.

kjangles

I do the same. A parent needs to bring them in, sign their client card, listen to all instructions, so the teen cant say-- she didnt tell me that...CYA, ometimes the teens push for more time than they should go for right away, just educate them on safe tanning. Good luck...
