Rep Power: 0 kristan is on a distinguished road
I have a client who has an 8 year old son. They are going to Mexico at the end of March. She was wondering if he could tan. We have a policy at our salon that no one under the age of 16 can tan without parental consent. This is the first time I have had anyone that young. Looking for thought and suggestions.

This is a question for your attorney and your insurance company.

I think as long as he takes it slowly and does not burn, there is no reason he can't tan. The parents are doing the right thing by trying to get him a base tan before vacation. I wish more parents would understand that children need to have protection, including a base tan, as well.

But Jim is right, you may want to talk to your insurance provider to make sure that it won't cause a problem with your insurance.

Our youngest tanner is 10 and she has very severe psorosis. Her parent's haven't been bringing her in lately because of work schedules, but they are going to try to bring her in again soon.

You may want to also check your states laws on this. In my state we cannot tan anyone under 14 yrs of age.

Our state has no minimum age limit but does require parent signature under 18 and that the parent be on the premises when the child is under the age of 16.

In your state no one under 14 can tan? Does the sun know this? How stupid is that? People who make these laws are dunderheads.

I was asked the same thing when I first opened and I told the parent no, but if asked now I would say that they could tan with the parent present in the room with them. My state only says that if you are under 14 that a parent has to be in the salon during the entire tanning visit and under 18 has to have a parent consent to tan. I think the same as a previous post, as long as they take it REAL slow it would be OK and parent in the room with them.

Sunless tans do not offer any protection from sunburning, which is the whole point in getting a base tan for vacation...

As for allowing the parent to be in the room with the child...I don't think that is a good solution . Federal regulations require that manufacturers state the maximum occupancy for the tanning room and that maximum occupancy should not be breached. I think if the child is mature enough to understand how the bed operates, how to shut it off if necessary and to always use eyewear, there is no reason that the child can't tan ALONE in the room.

Dearest MJ,
I am not sure what a distie is, but from the "tone" of your response it appears to me that it was a mean dig. My sympathies to you. I am new here, not a spammer, I dislike SPAM and rude people. I love to assist people and was so excited to find this site; purely by accident I might add. If you happen to start getting SPAM related to Cinnamon Bay, I assure you I had nothing to do with it. Thank you for the extra attention, and again, I am sorry to hear such negativity from someone. I hope things get better for you and you feel better about yourself soon. I am not here to bicker or play immature games. I simply want to clear up your misinformation ~ Pam

My original response was deleted..why?????
I do not know. The second evil was my response to brat like mods who made the final decision to censor me.

I remember to save that one.
Quote:I see censorship is still very much alive and well here. WHAT I SAID I HAD EVERY RIGHT TO SAY. Now no need to get your pals to warn me to death Cya! Until the coward that edited me can be seen...and states their reasons....I will not bother to visit here.

That was a clean post.... no ****, ***, *******, skrew, *****, tramp, ****, words were used. If words like 'disdain' and 'remedial' are comsidered "bad here. Then, Fhuck you people! In the future I will just reply (if at all) on Tanformation.com where the mods from CesorshipRus.com cannot evil eye my OPINION. Especially when this person called me out to play.

You guys can go back to watching grass grow or paint dry.
I will post a board free of anal retentive closed minded simpltons in charge of what is said or not said. Does it agree with the banners advertisers? Or will on a board where they cater to whining posters that bring the shiiit on themselves..and can't take it when you smack them back. I am getting really tired of cutting and pasting all my posts into word because certain people think the evil eye is their you play toy.
Buh Bye now.




PS I saved this post to..I guess censorship is alive and well here even without the brat. :eyeroll:
