You wanna know what would be a really great thread?! "Ten Basic Tips to running a profitable tanning salon". I guess y'all will just have to wait for my book to publish; or you can catch Mike Jones' puppet show every Sunday at the "Pimimpin' is Easy" social gathering at his church. Good luck out there. -Belvy

What marvelous advice is stored in this article. ]

I like no 3. May sound stupid but really hadn't considered decor to suit both sexes. My fella has it one color and selfish nail tech me was thinking more of nail salon colors!!!
That paragraph, has been a reminder that i should to consider the likes of my client's needs first.

I already have a small nail salon business with my daughter and we are considering buying a tanning salon that is for sale in the same neighborhood and combining the two.Now my daughter seems to think it might be cheaper if we rent a new space and start from scratch I'm not so sure anyone have any advice on this? I could use all the help I can get

It would save overhead down the road to combine both businesses into one location.

Marilyn, when you are new it is very important that the owner is in the salon! Who is going to teach the young girl??
