Not All Tanning Salons Are Created Equal

As you may have already discovered, service businesses like restaurants, and hair and tanning salons are not all created equal. Paying the lowest price doesn't always mean getting the best value. If you have ever been dissatisfied with the food or service at a restaurant, or had a bad experience at a beauty salon, you know what we mean.

Likewise, if you are not getting results after a few tanning sessions, you may be losing time and money, in addition to exposing your skin unnecessarily to UV rays. While some people have skin types that make it difficult to tan, most are capable of achieving a tan. But, ineffective tanning equipment or lamps that are past their effective tanning life can prolong results for even those that normally tan easily.

While many of us involved in the tanning industry are considerate of your health, time, and hard earned money, there are those who put profits before people. By cutting corners and using gimmicks they not only jeopardize the credibility of the professional tanning salon, but ultimately cost you more in time and moneyin the long run and possibly put your health at risk.

Healthy, Clean & Relaxing Environment

At Tan Plus, we believe that a tanning session should be relaxing and enjoyable. It should take place in a clean, comfortable and totally private atmosphere. We don't mix hair services with tanning, so you won't breathe in perm, nail or other chemicals during your session.

With the aid of powerful exhaust fans , our custom designed ventilation duct system enables hot air from each booth to be drawn out of the building for a more comfortable session. Heat and other contaminants are not blown directly on you.

Scheduled Lamp Changes

If a restaurant posted a sign that read "Fresh Food Today", wouldn't you question the freshness of the food you had been served in the past, and what about tomorrow? In the same respect, we feel that no tanning salon should have to display a "new bulbs" sign to tell you that the lamps have been replaced. The conscientious tanning salon operator keeps track of lamp hours and never lets the bulbs go past their effective tanning range.

At Tan Plus, lamps are changed and equipment thoroughly maintained on a regular basis. Just as you would expect the food in a restaurant to always be fresh, so should the lamps at a tanning salon. Besides, the lamps in a busy salon may become ineffective long before the sign comes down.

What's Your Time Worth?

In a world where every minute counts the phrase "gotta run" seems to be all-too-common. Free time has really become a commodity. Yet it seems that businesses of all types fail to respect and appreciate your free time? Even if you have an appointment you still have to wait and those minutes can turn into an hour.

At Tan Plus, we understand that we are in business for you and because of you. With the exception of an unusual circumstance, your session will take place on or before your scheduled time. Walk-ins are scheduled on a first come first served basis.

Since we manage our appointment book precisely and in consideration of others, we ask that you arrive a few minutes before or no later than the exact time of your appointment. This will help you avoid the possibility of losing your time slot.

Professionally Managed  

Since tanning affects the bodies' largest organ...the skin, it is most important for tanning personnel to be properly trained and knowledgeable in the health and care of the skin. This includes setting timers according to skin types, knowledge of equipment, effects of medications, and the proper care of tanned skin.

All-to-often, to cheapen the price of tanning services, untrained personnel or self-service tanning becomes the norm. No tanning facility should operate on a self-service basis. That is, the customer should not be allowed to set and control their tanning time nor should they be responsible for disinfecting the tanning unit.

Tan Plus was founded in February 1987. It is owned and operated by Ray and June Allard. Ray's involvement in the indoor suntanning industry began in 1982 in salon management and as a product and equipment distributor. Essentials Of Life was officially established in June, 1995, after several years of studying the impact of nutritional deprivation on health and the environmental causes of degenerative disease.

At Tan Plus, we believe in the importance of moderate suntanning, without burning . As a responsible tanning salon, we think you should know about the health benefits and also be aware of the risks.
