Finding The Right Tanning Salon

By Betty P Davis

Locating a quality tanning salon isn't going to be hard, but you do need to put some effort into it. You want to do more than just call the number for the advertisement in the newspaper and schedule an appointment. You want to be happy with the choice of location so don't leave it to pure luck.

The price is definitely a huge factor when it comes to choosing the right tanning salon. It has to reasonably fit into your budget in order for it to be something you continue with. As prices on necessities increase the amount left over for luxuries is squeezed smaller and smaller.

Generally, the fancier the tanning salon is the more you can expect to pay. They have plenty of nice equipment in there that they are paying for. However, don't forget to explore the smaller tanning salons. Their equipment may not be as new but you can still get great results. The savings can also justify going with the basic tanning location as well.

The location of the tanning salon is something you want to consider. You may think driving 20 minutes each way isn't a big deal. Yet when you start to do it each day, that is plenty of time as well as gasoline wasted on the trip. See if it is possible to get the same quality results at a tanning salon closer to you. There may be one by your office or where you pick up your children to look at.

What are the hours of service? You want to make sure you can get in when it is convenient for you as well. That may be early in the morning, at lunch, or after work. You also don't want to wait around. Find out where the policy is about appointment times. You don't want to have a standing 5 pm appointment and not get in until 5:20 on a regular basis due to others being late.

Spend some time getting to know how the facility operates. You can call with your questions but should also visit the salon in person before you sign up for services. Take a look around at the set up and determine if you will be happy there. If you feel uneasy around the staff then you aren't going to want to pop in several times a week to tan.

Chances are you have friends and family members who tan as well. They can refer you to the location that they love to go to. Keep in mind though that the needs of people can be very different when it comes to tanning. Therefore what works best for them may not be a place you will be happy. Finding out what types of tanning equipment they offer is very important as well.

It is worth it to find a quality tanning salon out there. Visit several of them so you can compare prices and options. You want to be sure you are getting the very best price for the services you desire. Tanning can be a great experience if you take the time to see what is offered before you start.
