Is your salon dark or bright? - tanTALK

Bright, to bright actually. Next salon will not have overhead floresenct lights.

Perfect. We stopped using overhead flourescents about 6 months ago. It was the best decision we ever made. Cut the light bill by $300 a month and made the atmosphere so much better.

tangirl, what type of lighting do you change to?

tangirl · 05-16-2002, 10:01 AM

We are using the lights on our overhead fans and neons.

Mine is bright, probably a little to bright for my liking, but clients seem to say it is more pleasant they the dark salons they have visited

At Neon Beach we try to keep the lighting dim. To me it'more calming than blasting our clients with too much light. Tanning is more than getting some colour. It should be calming and relaxing, so why bombard your clients with "office" lighting?

We keep it bright in the cutting area, the reception is med bright, the hall to the tannings room are darkish with red and blue lights then the tanning rooms are brightthe dark hall with the bright tanning rooms draws you into the tanning rooms, that fell bright and clean.
I personally like brights business places including restarants, dark places other then the tv room at home or bed room, always make me wonder what they are hiding, shab or mouse dropping?

Just my opinion. I guess I am more a bright day time person then a night time person.
