Underage tanning

hi there ~ I've been having alot of 15yr. olds coming into the salon with there parents wanting to tan ! Should I let them with parents consent or not? With this new law there trying to pass to ban teens from tanning under 19, I dont think its a good idea ~! I've turned alot down in the last week ? What would you's do?

Re: Underage tanning

If there's no law against it why not tan them? :)

Re: Underage tanning

Right now its 16 or over or under 16 with parents signature.

I would say let them tan if the parent is present to sign the paperwork.

Re: Underage tanning

What does your insurance say?

My insurance doesn't cover anyone under the age of 15...parent signature or not. And anyone 16 or 17 needs a parent signature first.

I agree, and make sure they know what they are doing. At 15 I was tanning with no lotion, no knowledge and no common sense. Educate them :)

I think this varies from state to state, her it is 14-17 with parent signature, 13 and under with a doctors prescription only and parent signature.

If the parents sign the consent and they are within those guidelines, I would rather they tan here, where I put limitations on how often and how long they can come in, rather than go someplace else where they don't care and will tan a 15 yr old every single day for the max.

Re: Underage tanning

worst case scenario....change their birthday in the computer by one year. Nobody is obligated to show you ID.....so all you have to say is...that's the date they gave me. For all i know, that's not even their name.

Re: Underage tanning

So in AZ it says under 18 must have permission from parent. It doesn't say the parent needs to come in and sign it, as it does in other states. Does that mean they can bring the form home?

Thanks for the link Gidget.

You are welcome. Exactly, parent or guardian don't have to come and sign at the salon.
