Rep Power: 0 | OK for those people that haven't seen the new show it's called Nip/Tuck.Last night's episode took tanning salons to a new low. Let me paint the picture: a plastic surgeon goes into a tanning salon and is greeted by a beautiful woman behind the counter. I might add she had a nice tan as well. She says to this guy haven't seen you here in a while you're starting to look albino. She then suggests he try the Mystic spray on. He says no. So as a good employee she suggests a good accelerator to get the tanning process started. So far she seems like a knowledgeable employee or owner right? Well, he agrees to buy the lotion only if it comes with a self applicator. i.e.: her. Next scene is them undressing in a tanning room, couldn't make out the type of bed looked like a SonnenBraune.They start doing it on the beds with lamps on. Now hold on before you say that's bad. They both took the time to wear eye goggles. So tell me have you ever heard of this happening? Know of a salon it has happened at? For those that missed the show and want to see what type of tanning bed it was, tune in this Sunday on FX. They play Tuesday night reruns of the show. |

Rep Power: 22 | I have a client who worked at A well known Gym, by us all...A client a work out trainer, went in the gym one nite after being out and did it on the bed and busted the acrylic out. I saw the previews for the show you are talking about, but have not watched it. |

Rep Power: 21 | How come so much interest in the bed, rather than the issue?...Did the bed look good?....I have the Sonnenbraune, Diva 7...& it certainly is an eye catcher...& I can't tell you how many people walk into my salon & see it the minute they walk in & say "holy Cow, 2 people could tan on that !!!" |

Rep Power: 22 | Quote:If you dont think this happens in tanning beds, think again! It normally happens when you have young kids closeing the store! Is this first hand knowledge or speculation... This does not happen in my salon. If it is happening in yours.. I suggest you re-evaluate your security procedures... I did not see the show and would not have watched it had I seen it... I think publicity like this is awful for the industry... but to each his own... |

I have to say, When I was younger and Tanning in beds, My friends told me that this salon employee at night would let his friends go in two at a time. I never went back and decided if I were to have opened a salon, that I would put a security camara in that faced down the hallway so this would not happen. I agree, Security,Security,Security! P.S. I was 21, now Im 36. |
