2 Category: Commercial Tanning Beds Subcategory: Commercial Tanning Beds Tip: Establishing a Relationship With Your Commercial Tanning Bed Manufacturer If you're opening up a tanning salon, you'll need to choose a manufacturer that you can buy your commercial beds from. You should make sure whatever manufacturer you choose is one with which you will have a good relationship with as you may need to work with them a lot in the future. Make sure you go over many important business aspects with the manufacturer such as what kinds of warranties you will get on your commercial beds, and what exactly will happen if you need serious maintenance performed on one of the beds. Tip: High Pressure Tanning Beds High pressure tanning beds are commonly seen as added facials at the head end of the canopies. The pressure within the bed's tube is more than one atmosphere, and the heavier quartz tube is needed to withstand the thermal energy while containing the pressurized environment. Most salons have high pressure tanning beds to satisfy the tanning needs of their immediate to advanced customers. Users also like high pressure tanning beds because they filter out most of the UVB light only allowing enough to shine through to stimulate the melanocytes. This means that more UVA light reaches the melanin, which provides a great tan with less risk of skin problems. It should only take about 3 to 5 sessions to establish a base tan using a high pressure tanning bed and the tan will last longer and require less maintenance. Tip: Lease Financing Your Commercial Tanning Beds If you are just opening up your salon, you always have the option of lease financing your commercial tanning beds rather than buying it right away. Some of the advantages to lease financing your commercial tanning beds include the fact that you can utilize tax advantages, have payment flexibility, and eliminate down payments. It may be difficult for you to pay for your commercial tanning beds when first starting your salon and that's why lease financing may be the best option for you. Whatever you decide to do to pay for your commercial tanning beds, you should always heavily research and consider all of your options.

Category: Home Tanning Beds Subcategory: Home Tanning Beds Tip: Buying a HomeTanning Bed All tanning beds may not be equal in price at all times of the year. However, rather than there being a best time to purchase a tanning bed, there is more notably a worst time. The worst time to purchase a tanning bed is when everyone else wants one, which is throughout the months of February to May. These months make up the worst time to purchase a home tanning bed, not necessarily due to price, but more having to do with demand and the fact that many products will be out of stock and service will probably be slow. Tanning bed dealers go through a slow period mostly in September and October so you may be able to find some good deals and the service may be up to a week faster than it will be in February through May. Tip: Buying a HomeTanning Bed If you really want a home tanning bed but don't have any way to pay for the whole bed, you may be able to find help. Most companies that sell home tanning beds offer low monthly payment options. Many times these payments are very affordable and allow the average person the luxury of tanning at home. You may even be able to purchase a new home tanning bed if you have had credit problems in the past. Companies such as Master Tanning and Wolff offer financing options. Not only can you pay a monthly rate, but you may even be able to get a fixed interest rate to save money.

4 Tip: Buying Home Tanning Beds at a Discount Your best option for purchasing home tanning beds at a discount is to find how much companies are selling beds for and then diligently search on the Internet where you will often be able to find companies offering up to 25% off. While these are not wholesale prices, they are certainly better than paying the full retail price, and it will be worth it to have your very own home tanning bed. Remember, a lot of research may be required before you find a home tanning bed with a price you are happy with. Tip: Buying Home Tanning Beds at a Discount If you're interested in buying a residential tanning bed but are worried that even a tanning canopy won't fit in your home, consider purchasing a face tanner. These little portable machines are much cheaper than residential tanning beds and can easily be stored anywhere. Any time you need a little sunlight, place the residential face tanner on the table and sit in front of you. You'll achieve a deep golden tan on your face without all the bulk of owning a residential tanning bed. Tip: Purchasing a Home Tanning Bed If you're looking to buy a home tanning bed, Wolff Systems offers some of the best home beds in the industry. With so many brands and models, you will be able to find a home tanning bed that best suits your needs with Wolff Systems. They have home tanning beds that will fit in any room and keep you tan all year long, all from the comfort of your own home. Category: Indoor Tanning Subcategory: Indoor Tanning Tips Tip: Controlling Your Tan When you tan using a tanning bed or booth, your skin tans the same way it does when you lie out in the sun: through ultraviolet (UV) rays. There is a big difference, however, between being in a tanning bed and being out in the sun. When you are outside getting a tan, the atmosphere affects the UV rays. There is no real way to tell how much UV light you are getting. Indoor tanning is one way to regulate the amount of UV light you are exposed to, because it is a controlled environment. You increase your exposure time to make sure you won't get harmful sunburns on your skin. This controlled environment helps in getting an even tan on your body in less than a half an hour a day. Tip: Getting a Faster Tan

5 There is no such thing as the faster tan'. There is only being consistent with your tanning schedule and one of the best ways to do this is to use tanning beds. Tanning outside takes longer and your tan may be inconsistent. Start with only five minutes for your first tan and see what happens. Follow the instructions of a tanning professional. Be sure to follow all directions. If you are consistent, you will have a tan in a short amount of time, shorter than getting a tan out in the sun. You could try tanning sprays if you are in need of a quick fix, but it may be better to try to prepare yourself by visiting a tanning salon first if you can. Tanning sprays or lotions may leave streaks if you don't do it right. You could also ask a tanning professional at the salon about tanning sprays that they recommend if you need to. Category: Outdoor Tanning Subcategory: Outdoor Tanning Tip: Things to Know About Outdoor Tanning If you have questions about outdoor tanning, here are some outdoor tanning tips that may give you the answers: One of the dangers of outdoor tanning is overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. Levels of UV light fluctuate throughout the day and at different times of the year.one of the benefits of tanning beds vs. outdoor tanning is the ability to control the amount of UV light exposure. Most commercial and home tanning beds for sale come with the option to regulate tanning sessions.falling asleep in the sun is a huge danger to sun tanners. Tanning salons avoid this problem with automatically timed sessions to keep you safe.experts offering information on outdoor tanning will tell you that you risk getting burned when tanning outdoors, which can lead to melanoma.any organization giving reliable tips for outdoor tanning will always recommend using sunscreen and limiting exposure times in the sun. If you are taking prescription drugs, be aware that some can cause you to burn twice as quickly as normal.there is less privacy outdoors than in a tanning bed.you have no control over the weather. Tanning beds are a reliable option when you want timely results for a special event. Subcategory: Outdoor Tanning Tips Tip: Benefits of Tanning There are benefits to tanning. Sunlight is an important part of our life that helps us to grow strong. Sunlight gives us vitamin D that is important to muscles and nerves. Tanning can improve your skin, especially if you have acne or a skin condition like Psoriasis or Eczema. If you suffer from Rheumatism or Arthritis, tanning regularly could help relieve some of the pain. If you are concerned about skin cancer or sunburns, tanning in an indoor tanning bed at a tanning salon actually helps prevent any of this. Tanning bed sessions are regulated at a tanning salon. A professional can help you

6 choose the right amount of time you need to tan. You will be able to tan safely, without burning or risk of cancer. Tip: Benefits of Tanning While many of us have regular jobs and act ivies that keep us busy, we often neglect getting out in the sun and playing or doing other things. This lack of seeing the sun often leaves many people at risk of bone problems or problems with muscles. This is due to the lack of vitamin D, an essential vitamin. Obviously, getting more sun or tanning in a tanning bed will help your body get more vitamin D. Just a few times a week should be enough. The best vitamin D doesn't come from a pill you can take. It is best to get some sun by tanning or being out in the sun on a regular basis to get the benefits UV rays give us. Tip: Safe Outdoor Tanning There are ways to tan outdoor safely by being aware of what you are doing. Sunscreens are designed to protect your skin, but only if you use the products correctly. Many outdoor tanners do not use sunscreens properly and end up with sunburns. It is more difficult to tan safely outdoors than it is to tan indoors. Indoors, someone may regulate tanning time and you know exactly how much UV light you will be getting. The light is direct and it takes a lesser amount of time to tan than outside. Outside, other objects and weather conditions redirect sunlight, leaving uncertain tanning results. The best way to tan outdoors safely is to use sunscreen. Sunscreen will protect your body while still allowing the body to tan. Use the right SPF number. SPF 15 will allow you to stay out in the sun 15 times longer than you normally can. Category: Skin Types Subcategory: Skin Type Definitions Tip: About Skin Types The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the American Academy of Dermatology have developed six skin types. Classification into the various skin types is based on two causes: a person's sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or tanning beds and the person's skin tone. The six types are: I - White skin, easily burns, never tans. II - Sensitive light skin, rarely tans, burns more often III - Light skin, tans more, burns equally IV - Light dark skin, tans more than burns V - Darker skin, rarely burns, tans darkly VI - Dark skin, never burns, dark even tans Tip: Understanding the Tanning Process

7 Melanocytes are specialized cells that are responsible for producing melanin. When melanocytes are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, they react by producing more melanin, which in turn colors your skin. Melanin absorbs UV light, so once a base melanin level develops, it provides protection from overexposure to UV. Depending on how much light you get, your skin reacts and turns darker. If too much sun is exposed and your skin cannot handle it, your skin will burn. This is why it is so important to know your skin type and regulate how long you are in a tanning bed. Category: Spray Tanning Subcategory: Spray Tanning Tip: How to Prepare For a Spray Tan that Lasts Before you go to get a spray tan, you should make sure that your skin in clean. Shower before your session and use a non-moisturizing mild soap. Also, try not to use any moisturizers, lotions, or makeup before a spray tan as these may block your pores and prevent the tanning solution from interacting with your skin. It's always a good idea to use an exfoliator on your skin before going to a spray tanning booth. Category: Tanning Bed Parts & Equipment Subcategory: Tanning Bed Parts & Equipment Tip: When Buck Boosters Transformers are Necessary You may need to purchase and use a buck booster transformer in order to operate some of your tanning beds. This device is basically for stepping up or down the voltage, at a fixed-ratio rate. In order to determine what kind of buck booster transformer you will need, and if you need one at all, you need to measure the voltage at your salon or tanning bed location. When you are measuring, keep in mind that if you are running several tanning beds at the same time, you will experience a drop in voltage of about 2V to 6V. As a general rule, you should try to obtain a voltage of 235V with your transformer, so if more machines are running, it will at least be at 230V. Many people think buck boosters adjust to the tanning bed's needs. They believe that the voltage from the buck booster will go up and down as the voltage changes. But this is not true. If a buck booster is designed to raise your voltage a certain amount, it will always raise it a certain amount. A sign that you need a buck booster transformer are that the lamps on your beds don't light or light slower than they should. Buck booster transformers are important to purchase if needed because you can damage your tanning beds and void your warranties if you don't run them at the proper voltage.

8 Category: Tanning Beds Subcategory: Home Tanning Beds Tip: Benefits of Residential Tanning Beds Residential tanning beds give you freedom, comfort and privacy because you avoid the more public tanning salon. Ultimately you will save money by making a fixed investment instead of paying per session. If you purchase a residential tanning bed, you can achieve a healthy tan with name brand tanning beds. You can often get support and services from your retail tanning bed company. A number tanning bed brands include Sunquest tanning beds, Sunvision tanning beds, Wolff tanning beds, and the Del Sol Face tanner. Tip: Sunquest Tanning Canopies Tanning canopies offer great convenience and easy storage for those who need to tan, but don't have a lot of room. Sunquest canopy tanning beds feature multiple 100 watt Wolff lamps that provide fast tanning. The curved tanning canopy design delivers full side-to-side tanning results. Adjustment of the canopy is easy thanks to the gas-shock hinge control on computer-designed patented hydro lift component. It lets you adjust the canopy to the perfect height. A cooling fan provide comfort while tanning. The heavy-duty mainframe with durable long lasting DuraMax 2000 exterior housing means easy maintenance and longevity. Finally, the protective canopy grid allows more UV tanning power to reach the front of the tanner. Category: Tanning Bulbs & Lamps Subcategory: Tanning Bulbs & Lamps Tip: Changing your Tanning Bed Bulbs When bulbs are brand new, they are at peak strength. A bulb stays close to this peak strength for the first hours. After that, typical tanning bed bulbs strength drops sharply. It stays at this point for hours of use, and then starts to lose intensity until it has no tanning power at all. To replace your bulbs, call the manufacturer or talk with a local tanning bed retailer. Get the correct bulbs and you should be able to easily pop them in and out of place. In most cases you should be able to replace your tanning bed bulbs on your own. Tip: How Often Tanning Salons Should Change Tanning Bed Lamps

9 Tanning bed lamps need to be changed before they actually burn out. The reason for this is that, the closer they are to burning out, the less UV light they emit and the less effective they become. If you're using 1,000 hour lamps, they should be changed after 800 hours in order for you to keep your beds as effective as possible. If you're using 800 hour lamps, you should change them after 700 hours. A good rule of thumb is to change the lamps after they use up 80% of their life expectancy. The bulbs for face lamps don't last as long as the bulbs in tanning beds, and need to be changed more often. Tip: Using Tanning Bed Rebuild Kits It may be a smart idea for you to purchase a tanning bed rebuild kit if you're interested in maintaining your beds on a regular basis to get the most power out of them. These kits usually cost around $20 and will include all of the products you need to successfully rebuild your tanning bed. One of the main reasons your tanning beds need to be rebuilt is because the acrylics on your beds build up a broken down layer caused by the UV light over time. You can't see this with the eye, but your beds will not be as powerful as long as this layer of build-up exists. The reflectors and lamps on your beds may also get dusty, mostly caused from the cooling fans. Quick and easy to use, utilizing the products in rebuild kit once a year should keep your tanning beds in the best possible shape. Tip: What Size Lamps Are Needed For Tanning Beds Some people dispute that the benefits you get from a tanning lamp are not as good as you get from the sun, but many will argue that this isn't true. Tanning lamps actually emit UV rays that enforce the production of vitamin D in the skin in much the same way that the sun does. Tanning lamps work extremely similarly to the sun, which is an excellent reason why you should change them when they need to be replaced and make sure they are working to their fullest potential. Category: Tanning Lotions Subcategory: Indoor Tanning Lotions Tip: Tanning Lotions and Indoor Tanning There are tanning lotions specifically designed for indoor tanning. They help moisturize and prep your skin to tan faster. Tanning lotions should be bought at the tanning salon, as you don't want to mix them up with outdoor tanning lotion. The tanning salon attendant can help you find the best lotion for your skin. Some tanning lotion is for before you tan and some are for after. Be aware of the difference when purchasing.

10 Tip: Using Sunscreen Properly Sunscreen protects your skin from UV rays. With sunscreen, you still tan. Most people do not apply enough sunscreen. Scientists say you need one 120ml bottle in an 8-hour period in the sun. This is nowhere close to what most people actually use. If you use the same bottle of sunscreen for the whole summer, you don't use enough. Sunscreen products last one year, toss your sunscreen from last year. Subcategory: Tanning Lotions Tip: How to Price Your Salon's Tanning Lotions Deciding how to price your salon's tanning lotions is a very important factor in determining how well the products will sell. Before you decide how to price them, it is always a good idea to conduct a break-even and return-on-investment analysis of your business. Once you are aware of your break-even point, you can start figuring out how much higher you must price items to start making a profit. In general, tanning lotion manufacturers will suggest a retail price of about 50 percent higher than the price you paid for them. The suggested retail price is a good starting point to work with as it will allow you to increase the price or decrease it to offer the customer a discount. It is important not to make the tanning lotion prices too high or customers will automatically be turned off. When you are trying to make a sale, suggest a more expensive lotion to the customer letting them know that that particular lotion will give them the best results. If they object and say they wish to spend less, you can move down a level and offer them something a little less expensive. Many times, when your tanning lotions are priced correctly, you have the option of offering your customers a discounted bottle of lotion upon the purchase of a tanning package. You will still get a profit from the sale of the lotion and you will also open the door for future sales with the customer. Another good idea is to keep your salon stocked with sample packets of tanning lotions. You can sell these packets for just a few dollars apiece, allowing your customers to try various types out before buying a larger, more expensive bottle. Selling sample packets of tanning lotion is a good way to get future sales for your salon. Category: Tanning Process Subcategory: Developing a Tan Tip: Tanning with Tattoos If you have a tattoo, you should know that exposure to UV rays may fade the ink in your tattoo. One possible solution is to apply a very strong sun block over your tattoo with a q-tip before you tan. However, people using this method have reported mixed results. You may need to make a choice between your tattoo and a tan. You will need to touch

11 up your tattoo after spending too much time in the sun. Subcategory: Tanning Process Tip: How Long the Tanning Process Will Take The tanning process may take a while and should not be rushed due to the possibility of burning. When tanning in a tanning bed, you should always follow the guidelines for length of time you should be in the bed. After your first time tanning, you may not notice any difference in your skin's coloring. This is normal and it may take up to 48 hours for melanogenisis to begin. Each time you use a tanning bed, you can increase the length of time you spend tanning, but many businesses will not let you tan for more than 30 minutes in a bed, depending on the type of bed and strength of the lights. You should never tan more than once in a 24 hour time period, and it is generally recommended that you allow 48 hours to pass in between sessions in a tanning bed. Tip: The After Tan Smell You may notice a certain smell on your skin after you're finished tanning in a tanning bed. This after-tan smell is actually the skin's naturally occurring bacteria that react to intense UV light exposure. The smell usually fades after you shower. However, if you want to avoid the smell all together, there are different types of lotions and accelerators that you can buy and put on your skin in order to eliminate this odor. Category: Tanning Safety Subcategory: Tanning Safety Tip: Tanning Bed Safety from the FDA Are tanning beds safe for your skin? The safety of tanning beds depends on your willingness to take precautions. If you have any tanning bed safety concerns, read these tips from the United States Food and Drug Administration: Indoor tanning salon safety is important. Burns from tanning bed lamps can lead to melanoma. Wear goggles that fit securely. Be sure goggles are not broken or cracked.build your tan slowly, over time.during your first tanning bed session, do not stay in for the whole session to avoid burns.only tan once per week for tanning bed safety. A tan or burn can take six to 48 hours to appear on your skin. Subcategory: Tanning Safety Tips Tip: Maximum Exposure Times

12 It's always important to follow the rules for maximum exposure time when you are tanning. If you are tanning at a salon, they will usually have regulations and will tell you the maximum amount of time you can stay in a bed. However, if you are tanning in your own bed, it is also very vital that you don't stay in it longer than you are instructed to. You can find maximum exposure time listed on the tanning bed itself. Tip: Setting a Timer You should always have a timer connected to your tanning bed in order to make sure the bed automatically shuts off when your tanning session is complete. It is also a good idea to have a back-up timer in case the first one malfunctions. If you are to fall asleep in the tanning bed, there could be catastrophic results if the bed does not shut off after the regulated amount of time. If you are using a tanning bed at a salon, you should set your own personal alarm on a watch or a cell phone in case your bed does not turn off and the salon's employees do not realize you're still in there. It is also smart for you to play some music or a book on tape in the background to deter you from completely falling asleep in the bed. Tip: Tanning While Pregnant It is highly recommended that you stay away from tanning beds when you are pregnant. While the ultraviolet rays may not be any more harmful to you, they can be extremely harmful to your unborn baby. First of all, raising your body temperature above 102 degrees Fahrenheit when pregnant can harm the unborn child. When pregnant, it is also not a good idea to lie on your back for long periods of time as this can decrease blood flow to the heart, which can also affect the baby. When tanning, splotching on the skin that sometimes occurs while pregnant may worsen. The bottom line is that you should stay away from tanning beds while pregnant. Category: Tanning Salon Ownership Subcategory: Tanning Salon Ownership Tip: Buying a Tanning Salon Franchise Another option for entering the tanning salon business is to purchase a franchise. A tanning salon franchise will help you open your business with more guidance and less risk. Most tanning salon franchises will help you choose a business for your salon, which will be extremely important when it comes to attracting customers. You should research the tanning salon franchises you know of and visit some of the locations to see if you like what the salons have to offer. Speak directly with the salons' owners to find out what they like about their job and what they find difficult about it. Also, ask them about the financial benefits as this is obviously an important part of your decision of

13 whether or not to purchase a franchise. Next, request information from the particular franchise you're interested in and find out what the start-up costs and initial investments are. Most franchises also offer training so that you will have guidance in understanding the business and will not be left to run to salon completely on your own. Tip: Providing Eye Protection To Your Customers If you are running your own tanning salon, it is extremely important that you provide eye protection to your customers. While many of your customers will bring their own personal eye protection, or purchase a pair of goggles from your shop, some will not have any or be constantly forgetting their own. In addition to providing eyewear, you must also make sure to keep the eye protection disinfected. This prevents spreading infection between users and also allows your customers to feel as if they have a brand new pair of goggles. Providing eyewear for sale at your salon is a good way to bring in some extra revenue as there is no doubt many customers will want to purchase some. Tip: Tanning Salon Owners Responsibility To Customers Before you first open your new salon, it's a good idea to conduct a survey to see what your potential customers prefer in indoor tanning beds. If other salons in your area don't have the indoor tanning beds the people are looking for, they may come to your new salon to see what indoor tanning beds you have to offer. Since there is such a wide variety of indoor tanning beds and tanners are becoming more educated and opinionated on what they like, you need to try to make potential customers happy. Ask people what they look for in indoor tanning beds and what they would like to see in your salon. Tip: Tanning Salon Owners Responsibility To Customers As the owner of a tanning salon, it is your responsibility to monitor the length of time for which your customers are in the tanning beds. If your salon is in a regulated state, you will probably need to take special classes in order to get certification to run your salon. Even if you are not required to take a class, it might be a good idea for you so that you can best protect your customers. You need to set up rules and regulations for your salon and make sure every customer follows them. You must have a limit on how long customers are allowed in the tanning beds. Some states have regulations stating that customers cannot tan more than once in any 48 hour time period. Even without the state regulation, this is a good rule to enforce upon your customers. While you should have tanning bed timers set up to automatically turn the tanning bed off, you should always keep your eye on what customers are in which beds in case the timer happens to malfunction. Remember, your customers are your responsibility. Also, you should always follow through with the rules for your salon; enforce them with every customer.

14 Category: Ultraviolet Light Subcategory: Ultraviolet Light Types Tip: Ultraviolet A (UVA) Ultraviolet A (UVA) light is one of three types of UV light. It comprises the UV light band. The sun emits UVA light naturally. Commercial tanning bed bulbs and indoor tanning bed bulbs, as well as by other consumer and commercial devices also expose UVA light to people's skin. The ozone does not absorb UVA light. Unlike UVB and UVC rays, UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin. Overexposure to UVA light can contribute to premature aging. However, UVA has also been proven to provide relief for some conditions such as psoriasis when used in a controlled manner. Tip: Ultraviolet B (UVB) Ultraviolet B (UVB) light is the second of three types of UV light. UVB comprises the UV light band. Like UVA light, the sun emits it naturally. Commercial tanning bed bulbs and indoor tanning bed bulbs also expose the skin to UVB light. Unlike UVA light, UVB light is partially absorbed by the ozone and mainly affects the surface of your skin. Overexposure to UVB light from the sun, an indoor tanning bed, or other device may result in sunburn. Regular, limited exposure to UVB light creates a nice, healthy tan on the body. Category: Used Tanning Beds Subcategory: Used Tanning Beds Tip: Give the Tanning Bed a Test Run When purchasing a used tanning bed, it is not the best idea to agree to buy it sight unseen. It is much smarter to test the bed out before you make any purchasing commitments. The seller shouldn't have any qualms about your trying the bed out if it is a bed in satisfactory condition. You will want to make sure that you feel comfortable in the tanning bed, it works to your liking, and that the bulbs are strong enough. It will also do you some good to talk to the owner and listen to any advice about the bed that they may have to give you from their experience. If you cannot possibly try the tanning bed out before purchasing it, make sure the return policy leaves plenty of room for you to return it if it is not to your liking. You don't want to be stuck with a tanning bed you are not comfortable in.
