then you should call the Dept of Health for Florida and report that salon. Salons in my area of Florida at least customers are not allowed to come into contact with the chemicals used to clean the beds. I wouldnt never let a customer clean their own bed anyway I dont trust anyone to do a better job than me. I disenfect everything down to the door knob.

Ramcat - ...my beds are not on wheels so I have to lay on the floor, squeeze (sideways) between the bed and wall, pull the hose over my head, under my chin and suck up the dust.

I would say that's keeping a clean salon.

Here we go with the Chocolates again...lol.

You clean your salons? You mean spray the beds? I just air it out now and then and spray some Arid Xtra Dry in the rooms to cover up that lingering dead fish smell. Vacuuming is for chumps.

E - I don't have a comeback! Dead fish smell + Arid Xtra + chumps = LMAO

Sounds like you've set yourself apart from your competitors very nicely.

Isn't it hard to tan dead fish? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

K-Tina, My beads are not on wheels either. The booths are 1000 lbs and I wouldn't want to try to move them. Like...Hello hernia......!!! But I wonder if you hae any photos of you cleaning your salon? Your description is exciting......Can I get you to squeeze behind the booth for me?

I'm telling ya...it's hard to get into those corners. If I had flies on the walls, they'd be laughing too.

Do You look like Ska coming out of the dryer holding the paper? If I knew how, I'd paste that photo here for all to see.

I've started using candles to make the salon have a "not like a dead fish odor" appeal. The customers seem to like it and with an occasional running of the vaccum and dust rag, I get compliments on the appearance. I'm lucky enough to have an employee that likes to clean.

I currently live in NC I am from VA I have lived in many many places, and I love Flordia the most, I love the people, the weather and most of all the salons in Florida are AWESOME! Just because you had a bad experience at ONE salon in FLA does not mean they are ALL bad! I have lived in South Beach, Orlando and St. Augustine. As a matter of fact St Augustine is home to Sun Essentials, www.sunessentials.com, which is the CLEANIEST salon I have ever been in, besides my own of course , as well as my favorite salon by far.
Please NEVER make a comment so wide spread about a area when you had one bad expereince. There are bad salons in EVERY STATE, that is not the states fault but rather the owners.
Floridans for the most part are very nice as well as thier tanning salons. And I am truly sorry you had a bad expereince. Next time before you travel to a area try getting recommendations on where to go so that you may avoid a bad expereience altogether. If you make it back to Florida, no matter what part email me I know of plenty GREAT salons there!

You tell them...I'm as sweet as they come. However, I'm on the other coast. Soooooo on the next trip to Florida come to Clearwater...More specifically, come to Electric Beach Tan in Palm Harbor.
