Hello Everyone,
None of you know me, I've put a couple silly posts on here months ago, but have basically been a lurker reading everyone's opinions on everything regarding sunless--soaking everything in, the good and bad.

I am pleased to announce that I will be opening a sunless tanning salon in my city in about 2 months! We just got approved for all financing and our construction starts next week! We're going to be having a storefront in a strip mall between a massage and day spa and a nail salon. It's also on the busiest street in our city. I'm quite excited. :)

It seems as though I've been doing my research for so long, I want to hope for the best, prepare for the worst you know? So any advice or tips you have for new salon owners in order to maintain sanity is always accepted!

Thank you, TanTalk, for all of your members who have helped me with so many different aspects of this industry, I hope to become one of the members that can help newbies like me!

I'm a newbie poster/longtime lurker as well, just wanted to say Congrats! It sounds like you have wonderful positioning between the spa and nail salon. Offer to recommend the spa and nail salons services and hopefully they'll return the favor! That's where some of my best recurrent clients have come from. Congrats again!

Thank You! We definintely want to do some partnerships with the two businesses, probably join forces for spray tanning parties! I know I am definitely excited about being next to those businesses for my own purposes too!

Versa Spa is the way to go.

Moving into your new store front, do you have an established client base or are you starting out from scratch?
