Rep Power: 0 | UV Free salon. Hello First post here and I am looking for some feedback and info. Does anyone know of a UV Free stand alone tanning business? I am wondering if it would be possible to open a spray tan only business in my town. Currently there are about 5 other salons within 1-2 miles all of which are UV bed salons. There are 2 other airbrush business that are in the bigger salons. In doing my research there are no spray booths versa, mystic, etc within 45 minutes of here. We have about 50,000 people in the city and another 50,000 or so living in the county / other municipalities. I am leaning toward the spray only option because of all the other places around. I can think of 2 locations located in busy areas in strip malls. Both of which have adjacent hair salons and one with a gym. I figured as far as location goes these would be ideal. Thoughts. . .. |

Rep Power: 19 | Re: UV Free salon. Great idea, but not going to work. Just look at the % of your customers that use sunless, and that will give you a good idea. This is like Hybrid Cars, popular when they first come out, then they are no big deal. Sunless is great, but only for an add on or additional service. |

Rep Power: 30 | Re: UV Free salon. Shine Sunless Tanning Spas opening in St. Louis! An all sunless tanning concept launches three brand new salon spas in the St. Louis market beginning March 9, 2011 in Des Peres, MO. The spas will be located in the Des Peres, Brentwood and Chesterfield areas. Elizabethtown, KY (PRWEB) March 16, 2011 Sun Tan City, one of the nation's fastest-growing chains of privately owned traditional tanning salons, is venturing into a new arena - sunless tanning salons. The company is opening three locations in the St. Louis area that will be singularly devoted to sunless tanning. The stores, named Shine, are scheduled to open by the end of April. Sun Tan City's CEO and founder, Rick Kueber, started thinking about this venture a few years ago: "We have offered sunless tanning in most of our Sun Tan City salons for years," said Kueber. "But as the demand for those services increased, we saw an opportunity for a salon that would focus on the sunless experience." The Shine spas will have 5 sunless tanning booths per location. The spas will feature VersaSpa®, the absolute best and latest in sunless tanning technology. The VersaSpa system provides instant color with no UV light exposure - the tan will set between four and six hours after the session and it lasts up to seven days. The sunless tanning experience at Shine is quick and easy, and will definitely change the notion of what a sunless tan is (and isn't). Plus, there's no need to "build a base tan" with VersaSpa. The end result is color that is even and natural, and the process is compatible with any skin type, including fair skin. Kueber even guarantees a perfect tan: "If our customers are not completely satisfied, then we're not satisfied. Our goal is to revolutionize the way the market perceives sunless tanning. We know how good the VersaSpa technology is, and now we want everyone else to get in on the secret!" Shine Sunless Tanning Spas are scheduled to open in the following locations: ABOUT SUN TAN CITY AND SHINE: Sun Tan City is one of the nation's fastest-growing chains of privately owned tanning salons, operating more than 125 premier salons in Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. In 2010, Sun Tan City was recognized as one of the 5,000 fastest-growing companies in America by Inc. magazine. The company was founded in 1999 by brothers David and Rick Kueber and is based in Elizabethtown, Ky.

Rep Power: 0 | Re: UV Free salon. In the right markets, properly promoted it will work. There are many 'sunless' booths in other than tanning salons as the only tanning option: Mom & Pop stores, dermatologist's offices, health clubs, nail & hair salons, women-only clubs, etc. Of course you may also find traditional tanning beds in similar places too. I just specialize in 'sunless'. |
