"Sunset Tans" Bunch of BS article

Here's just one paragraph from the coverage "Sunset Tans" is generating.


Of course, the American public understands that suntans are like cigarettes: There is no such thing as a healthy one – at least not a real one. And yet, millions of us bake in the sun or under tanning lamps in posh salons trying to create that "fresh from the oven" look that is so alluring. Clearly, the risk of tanning comes down to a little something we like to call "dying." So salons like Sunset Tan are now offering alternative options to tanning beds – spray-on tans. Professional spray-on tans come in a variety of styles. The most common is a booth spray where you stand for a very brief period of time while jets spray you with tinting lotion. After a quick wipe-down you walk out with an even tan. In fact, that is the best reason to chose spray-on tans over home application self-tanners – the jets cover even those hard-to-reach areas, avoiding the streaks and missed spots that are a dead giveaway for a fake tan.

They don't have an option for comments and I didn't see an email address for Michael Korb. They do have forums but I'm not sure Michael will see that and if it's worth the time registering to post about it.

Re: "Sunset Tans" Bunch of BS artilce

I have already had several customers mention this fricking show. They make this industry look like a joke. Could they get any more ignorant people to play be employees.

These owners could not Manage their way out of a paper bag.


Just when I thought if could not get worse. Our industry is saturated with rookie salon owners that just opened their first business with a home equity loan. Only to be in and out of this business in 2 years time. The industry is taking a BEATING.

Now enters the Sunset Tan show. Customers hearing you can make $5000 a day on one Mystic unit. People thinking we are making money hand over fist as we lay in tanning beds and drink champagne. Ahhhh, the dream of a get rich quick scheme. Look for more salons to hit this industry because of this show. Just when you thought it could not get more saturated.

Has anybody else had customer approach them about this show?
Asking if profits are really that good?

NEAT!!!!
