Hey all. I just wanted to get a general sense of where all you guys are throughout the US and Canada. My name is Lindsay and I'm from the northeast(Rhode Island) and plan to open my salon between november and december.
Also I was wondering about prices in the united states. Can anyone give me info on the states that charge the most/least for tanning services. Thanks in advance everyone!! |

Anywho, your best bet is to check the salons in your area to see what they are getting away with. Don't forget to do a breakeven analysis to make sure you are bringing in enough to keep you up and running. It will give you a general idea of what you should be charging. |

Sunstrider - I am from Louisiana. Small, rural town average price for vist is $3.50 - $5.00 for single visit. I have base beds and just a little upgrade, but I keep the lamps fresh, salon extra clean and give great customer service.

Sunstrider... I am located in Northern Virginia right across from the Pentagon. Plenty of big franchise competition just moved into the area with Hollywood Tans, Palm Beach tans (********!) We offer Sundash 232's as our base beds with Dr Mueller Sunstorms and Sungates for our upgrades (everyone else offers Ergoline) it sets us apart. We also offer Mystic tan as well as 3 massage therapists in a upscale studio atmosphere. Looking to add acupuncture hopefully in the coming months if all goes well. Our walk-in prices start at $10-18 per session with $22 for Mystic.

Sunstrider....I am from Colorado, small bedroom community outside of Denver. Avg. price is $5.95 - $15.30 per session depending on the bed. I try to offer specials so that they come in more just to see what the monthly special will be that month. I also have a MagicTan, offering it for $15 this month (just to get them to try it), $20 next month...
