Many states are not regulated. To find out for sure if yours is you can call Smart Tan www.smarttan.com . You are probably not missing any hidden fees here. FDA regulations are pretty simple, you can also get a copy of these at www.smarttan.com .

What Tiki said. And your state's health department could give more specifics also.

In Texas, we are regulated by the Dept. of Health. You have to license your salon through them.
