It's mostly because of the negative press this industry has received, and a little because of the economy, nothing else. Get over it and quit beating a dead horse.

You go Parrot! The overwhelming point of view displayed on this site is; if your salon / business is doing poorly, ITS YOUR FAULT. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. YOU DONT HAVE ANY BUSINESS ACUMEN. YOU NEED TO SPENT MORE MONEY. YOU ARE TOO NEGATIVE. That point of view is also why people do not actively participate on this site.

Re: ABC News: Tanning Beds Bad News

"Bad news," "Low information Americans," Shouldn't we be doing something about the new news? Try the education route. We've been educating on cancer and its correlation to deficient vitamin D levels. It's probably old hack for some that have been in the industry as long as you have. Find a new box to think in. Bad press is one sensational BS opinion based very little on facts and largely on fear and woe. Remember misery loves company. Attitude is everything. We were supposed to have a slow season and it just got slow. Could be we're new owners and enthusiastic. Or it could be our attitude that we just sank the cost of a house into a business and refuse to fail.
