I got a place!!! (pics)

Hells yeah!!

I got a place allready! The rent is 1750 a month for 1750 square feet, its right next to a photography studio is that contracted to have 5000 seniors taking their senior pics every year! Its just off a main road and it has had $30k in renovations, the lady who ran it had a massive stroke or something so her loss is my gain!

Also here is the OTHER kicker... it has a FULL SALON set up with massage room and pedicure stations. So I'm renting the chairs/stations out at $800 a pop BUT I don't charge commission. So I could even be operating at a profit!




Check out the pics at my myspace

Let me know what you think!

Yeah, if you are looking for our support I'd stop bashing our industry for the sake of selling that spay crap.

Just sell it as "fast easy and natural look". No need to dam the sun.

Hah, no worries. I changed it. I definately don't want to bash your industry (Even tho some of y'all *NO NAMES OR ANYTHING....* aren't too supportive as it is when it comes to spray tans !)

So can we get back to the topic? What you guys think about the place?

not supportive cause it basically destroyed the industry that made it and people continue to do so.

Yeah, your place sounds good. Just get the money and make the profit. Gouge gouge gouge.

Not only do I support spray tans , but I offer them..... Its very important in business to qualify information and statements. There are many people on this site willing to offer help and support if you need it. But please realize....UV tanning is feeds our children!

In a year when theres tumble weeds blowing through his salon,he will be "shopping" for the tanning beds that scream cancer.

Good luck with that spray stuff.

Re: I got a place!!! (pics)

Also..... I would highly recommend...If you do not offer UV tanning.... To visit the tanning salons in your area that do not offer spray for referrals.... I know I would rather send someone to a non UV facility than a competitor. I get 2-4 calls a day regarding spray tanning .... I have a booth though and some people want a tech spray!!
