Walk in's only.

Wow I give 3 mins from the time there door shuts...they can tell me to give them an extra min so I will wait to set their time but this is rare...10mins so on a 10 mins bed the wait might be 25 mins with only one person waiting thats crazy to me......but every salon clients has different needs....down here in the south people tend not to wear as many garments as up north so that helps LOL

Walk ins only appts would be a head ache if they show, or run late etc....although it would help when I have appts myself just don't schedula any tanners....but then again you have to be their to greet new tanners ahhhhh I don't know....

I tell some if they need more time to start and stop the bed. Only a few take more than 3 mintues.

Mine are set at 5 minutes. Most people start the bed early. I am not one of those people. I take the full 5 minutes to get ready. Some people are taking winter clothing off. Then jewlery. Then putting up their hair. Then applying face lotion, and wiping it off their hands when they are done. They applying the regular lotion.... Some are even using a seperate leg lotion. Then if they bought winkeeze or viewkeepers, they have to get those ready and stick them on their eyes. Then maybe they have a teeth whitening tray to get ready. Some use nailsavers and have to put those on. Not sure what else, though :)

5 minutes is MORE than enuff time, the more you give the more they will use. Chop, chop let's go !!

We encourage our clients to undress and apply their lotion while they are in the lobby when we are busy. That way they just have to walk in the room and lay down.
