How do ya get those b*stards that you suspect of using baby oil as an indoor lotion?Hard as the dickens to get that crap off the bed.How do I confront 'em, without being a witch.

Try asking what lotion they are using. Then proceed to tell them Baby Oil is not allowed. It ruins your machines.

...and, in order to properly care for your skin it is of utmost importance to not use oil which becomes a barrier for proper hydration of the skin. Oil and water do not mix...

Give them a sample packet of a good tanning lotion and moisturizer that you believe in to highlight that you not only care about your machines, but their skin as well. If they don't see an improvement or still insist on using oil, I would be right up front with them. Would they allow you to ride in their car with an open can of paint? Recruit them to help clean the bed after they use it with that stuff...some only learn through experience. Stress how expensive it is to replace acrylics and you would like to keep your prices down...for their tanning enjoyment.

If they insist on using baby oil just ask them for a three hundred dollar deposit..Why not? Don't be concerned about being a witch. If they keep sneaking the oil in there just be a witch and don't let them tan there. Do you think that they will spend more money in your salon than what it will cost to replace your acrylics.

We offer them an entry level lotion for 1/2 price if they dump their poopoo lotion. We also ask "what lotion they are using?" and keep banned lotions at the counter while they tan.

I finally asked a girl not to come back after the third time that it took me 45 minutes to clean her bed. So what if I am a witch! It is my bed and I asked her nicely twice. If she doesn't respect me and my salon I don't need her.

We have a section in our waiver that states " I understand that I may be held responsible for any damage caused to equipment by using lotions, oils or other tanning products , not approved by salon staff". You'd be amazed how many people SHOW US their products now even if they bought them at another tanning salon!
