Need some info on starting up in canada!

SunnieGirl · 02-24-2004, 10:22 PM

hey everyone... im new here, and so far think its a great site. however, mother and i are looking into opening our own private salon, but i wasn't sure where to start. i have seen a whole bunch of websites selling beds and lotions and stuff, but was wondering if there are more complicated things such as laws and what not... i was wondering if there were any other canadians or anyone for that matter that could help me along. Also, was wondering if canadian regulations were different from american ones and what not!? any info will help! thanks in advance, cara

www.smarttan.com offers info on canadian regulations. American Distributors are not allowed to sell certain products to Canadian salons. If you start searching for products it is a good idea to contact a manufacturer and find out if they have a distributor in Canada.

Dearest MJ,
I am not sure what a distie is, but from the "tone" of your response it appears to me that it was a mean dig. My sympathies to you. I am new here, not a spammer, I dislike SPAM and rude people. I love to assist people and was so excited to find this site; purely by accident I might add. If you happen to start getting SPAM related to Cinnamon Bay, I assure you I had nothing to do with it. Thank you for the extra attention, and again, I am sorry to hear such negativity from someone. I hope things get better for you and you feel better about yourself soon. I am not here to bicker or play immature games. I simply want to clear up your misinformation ~ Pam

My original response was deleted..why?????
I do not know. The second evil was my response to brat like mods who made the final decision to censor me.

I remember to save that one.

That was a clean post.... no ****, ***, *******, skrew, *****, tramp, ****, words were used. If words like 'disdain' and 'remedial' are comsidered "bad here. Then, Fhuck you people! In the future I will just reply (if at all) on Tanformation.com where the mods from CesorshipRus.com cannot evil eye my OPINION. Especially when this person called me out to play.

You guys can go back to watching grass grow or paint dry.
I will post a board free of anal retentive closed minded simpltons in charge of what is said or not said. Does it agree with the banners advertisers? Or will on a board where they cater to whining posters that bring the shiiit on themselves..and can't take it when you smack them back. I am getting really tired of cutting and pasting all my posts into word because certain people think the evil eye is their you play toy.
Buh Bye now.

PS I saved this post to..I guess censorship is alive and well here even without the brat. :eyeroll:

What things are US distributors not allowed to sell to Canadian Salons?

Neon Beach · 03-21-2004, 04:39 PM

SunnieGirl: Right now Canada is not as regulated as the US. Check with your Province, but I think that you'll find that you can do what you will as far as tanning goes, but, don't screw it up. Salon owners have beenable to regulate themselves so far and have been doing a decent job of it. Do, however join Smart Tan and get some valuable info so that you can run a reputable tanning business and not be one of those "there's the tanning room, and there's the timer" places! Email me if you want some more Canadian Info. or advice.
