			<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone, I'm from a city on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. My girlfriend and I just opened our first salon in a city with 80,000 residents and hosts 12 tanning salons already. In this city it seemed like everyone had best intentions when they opened there tanning salon but really began to neglect there money makers... there tanning beds. Seems like all the salons have 10yrs or older beds and they don't seem to change there lamps in any of them, and many of them are burnt out.

We decided to open a high-end salon with a amazing modern decor, and rather than buying 10 cheap/lower quality beds we purchased 3 high-end beds, the Open Sun 1050, Open Sun 550, and a Suncapsule 48. We have been open for 3 weeks now and the first week was scary as ****, we didn't even have proper signs up and seemed like we made a bad choice to open a salon, but the second week showed a little glimmer of hope, but the 3rd week now has been amazing, it really has snowballed and now we have no regrets, we attribute the quick success to 3 things... beautifully designed salon, top of the line beds, and amazing staff.

Now we want to push it to the limit and get to the point that we will be by appointment only, which is why I'm here, to read everyone's success's, failures, and absorb as much as i can to make us the top earning salon in our city. Would like to thank everyone in advance for there advice and support

Cheers everyone]]></description>
