Talking I'm wanting to Lease a Tanning Salon

Hi- I been on here for about a hour just looking around and thought heck I'll just join and I like to get some advice/info from you all :)

I'm wanting to lease a Tanning Salon in my home-town in OHIO
The Rent will be $500 a month plus my water, gas and electric
It has everything to turn the key and go..
It was put all together for the person's wife to open and run it but she decided to just work in one since she didn't know what all to do.
Since I'm new to all of this myself and been wanting to open a tanning salon for a while now, and know someone that has this I thought WOW OK this is for me..
But my Question is What do I need for myself.. Like do I need to have License's to run it do I have to be certified.. I like to know what all i need to do to cover my A**.. :)

Any advice/info would be much appreciated..
Thanks

The 1st thing I would do if I were you is read the sticky post by Brian titled "Do you want to open a salon". It's right above this one. Good luck!

Your welcome! After reading that, if you want to keep going with this venture then I would suggest contacting Sunsally as she can be very helpful with this.

Re: I'm wanting to Lease a Tanning Salon

Be prepared to be bombarded with BOREDOM your fist little while.. We have been open 2 months and its just finally starting to kick off !! Lots of money spent on Advertising, And even some freebies !! I gave a Session away last week and have so far cleared 500.00 from it !! Oh and did I mention LOTS of time to invest with little to NO payback !!!

Lotions, Lotions, Lotions !! Sell lot of them !!!

We made up .5 oz samples and 9 times out of 10 if I give one to a customer It sells the bottle ! You have to know how to read your customers wants and needs once you figure that out you're laughing !!

Re: I'm wanting to Lease a Tanning Salon

Hi- Everyone I'm back and I was just wanting to let everyone know I'm doing good with the tanning salon- I was little scared at first cause i had slow days but since the tanning salon is so close to a College It has picked up and doing great!!
For only having 3 beds there full all day till I close 8
yes I know that will slow down and Im ready for it- But I'm not out to get rich its just a venture that I have always wanted to do and finally got the chance :)

Thanks for all the good info posted on this site It sure does help...

But I do have one question does anyone know where I could order Wholesale Lotions?

Thanks again!

Re: I'm wanting to Lease a Tanning Salon

My biggest pet peeve "I am not out to get rich out of this venture." Why the heck do something that requires so much time and investment if not to get rich? I could work for someone else, get benefits, retirement and less stress and make the same if not more if I wasnt trying to "get rich." I have my business because getting rich is my goal.

Glad you are doing well!
