Dear Readers,
I can say one good thing about the weird “sprinter” weather we’ve been having in Michigan: it’s been great for my tanning business!
So many salon operators see the calendar turn to June and think, “Busy season’s almost over – what do I do NOW?” After nearly four decades in the business, I’ve learned how to survive the summer months, and it takes a good strategy. Those of you who need help making it happen should check out Jerry Deveney’s article “The Endless Season” in which he explains the concept and offers tips for stretching your membership revenue through the summer.
While you’re wrapping up the busy season, what if an inspector should visit your salon? As most of us know, our industry is regulated by the FDA and FTC – but does that mean your salon could be inspected at any moment? For his article, “Salon Inspection: Are YOU Ready?” Joe Schuster talked with Catherine Rosfjord, Radon and Tanning Branch Manager of the Radiation Protection Section, Department of Health and Human Services in North Carolina, a thoroughly regulated state that requires inspection and salon operator training. They discussed frequent violations, how to prepare for inspection and how to interact with an inspector. Good stuff.
Of course, investing in salon operator training does improve the professionalism, and the health and safety of a tanning facility – as pointed out by Ms. Rosfjord in Joe’s “Inspection” article. Salons trained and certified by the Sun is Life® program have the foundation they need to not only provide a premium guest experience, but also operate a compliant business. Now is the perfect time to start your team on the path to becoming certified tanning professionals! AND, salons that complete Sun is Life are on the list to be highlighted in our Salon of Distinction feature. Your salon could be next! It’s a perfect time to get your team trained and we have a fantastic deal on Sun is Life.
Lots more useful info from our contributors this month – both industry newbies and seasoned veterans can learn something in every issue. From more about surviving “slow season” (Epic Sales), the importance of skin-typing (Ask Wolff) and creating lotion displays (Notes from The Road), to the work-life balance “myth” (Future Focused), a salon safety checklist (Insurance Matters) and ways to promote something new at your salon (Management Musings), our content offers excellent variety.
Happy Summer and thanks for reading!
