Helping People Fix Their Tanning Mistakes

by Betty P Davis

There are lots of mistakes out there that occur when a person is attempting to get a tan. They’ll often turn to a tanning salon out of desperation to take care of them. Some owners aren’t willing to help out unless that person is already a customer. They don’t train their staff to effectively handle these issues when someone one calls or comes into the business.

Make sure your staff comprehends the importance of helping people in such a predicament. When they turn to your tanning salon for help you need to turn that into an opportunity to get them as a customer. That doesn’t mean you blow off what they are dealing with. Yet you can help the solve it if you can and then offer great options to make sure it will never be an experience they face again.

Not everyone that has time to tan outdoors is able to do so. In fact many fair skin people think they can’t get a tan at an indoor location either. As a result they don’t check it out. Yet you can help offer some tips to soothe their red and burned skin. Let them know that they have the ability to spend a few minutes in an indoor taking bed and not burn. They have the ability to continue to add more time as their body adjusts. Even with a few minutes a day they have the ability to get a great looking tan with the use of an accelerator.

If you offer UV free tanning methods it might be a better option for them. They have the ability to return after their redness goes away and they are no longer in pain. They have the ability to step into a booth and get an overall tan in just a few minutes. This can last about 7-10 days for them. Caution them to continue using a high SPF in the natural sunlight so they won’t get sunburned like that anymore.

Fake tanning products that people use at home tend to be a huge problem as well. I can remember using some that seemed to look great. In a few days though areas around my elbows and knees looked dirty. Some of these products also made my skin look orange instead of tan.

You can definitely help out with this type of situation. First you can explain to them that they have the ability to remove a great deal of the color on their own at home with by adding some lemon juice to soap and water. This will help to dissolve the pigment color in the fake tanning product. They can do this and then come back to tan with you later that day.

This works best if offer sunless tanning options. They can easily get a color that really does look good on them. It can be embarrassing to go to work or anywhere out in public when your skin looks orange! It is very hard to hide the fact that you have been using fake tanning products. Do your ideal to help them put it in the past as soon as possible as it just won’t ware off on its own fast enough!

While the personal tanning problems people have aren’t a laughing matter, they can provide you with some excellent opportunities. They can help you to gain the trust of those that haven’t been to your tanning salon before. Once they’ve suffered through such negative tanning experiences they’ll be looking for a better alternative. Make sure you’re the place the turn to in order to find it.
