It’s a New Year and time for a new resolution: to run a totally clean salon!
New York State/Pennsylvania salon chain, Total Tan, uses a spreadsheet to track cleaning procedures. They calculate managers’ bonuses on how well they fare on dozens of items that grade each salon area: tanning rooms, standups, offices, restrooms, the lobby and the Mystic spray-tan rooms.
Now, I am a “clean freak,” but Total Tan takes it to a whole new level.
1. How did you get into the tanning industry? One of Brenda Fishbaugh’s former college interns was a co-worker of mine at another company and recommended me to Brenda. She thought Brenda and I would make a great team. That was…

November 2015 – EYE PRO, Inc., world leader in disposable eye protection for indoor tanning and makers of Ultra Gold WINK-EASE, Lash Room WINK-EASE and WINK-EASE Dark, has updated its award-winning salon staff training. This dynamic, informational 25-minute training offers an extensive amount of educational information to get your clients and staff members to wear eye protection!
“Our new training educates the salon staff on the dangers of not wearing eye protection” said Jackie DeWald, EYE PRO office manager. “We are always amazed to learn how many salon staff members don’t use eye protection. It can be a difficult item to sell if your staff doesn’t understand how unprotected eyes can be damaged from UV exposure.”

Yep, it happens to the rich and famous, too. Anderson Cooper, the fair-skinned, TV Emmy award winning journalist and star of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, discussed the horrible pain he experienced when he burned his eyeball – an injury called photokeratitis. No, Anderson Cooper had not used a tanning bed. He was in Portugal on a boat for two hours, working on a news story. The glare from the ocean caused him to be “blind for…
I’ve been in the indoor tanning industry for 25 years pushing the importance of wearing eye protection. I thought I’d heard all the excuses tanners use to not wear it… but a fees of these were even new to me!

Tanner traffic’s slowing down, and selling those bottles of expensive lotion has gotten a lot more difficult since the rush to be golden for Spring Break and graduation is over. Kids are back to school and moms are too busy to tan – there are fewer guests to whom you can pitch your upgrade beds … so what do you do? Think about focusing on sales of smaller-ticket items this month, with the goal of selling more items to more tanners for less money per tanner. Let’s try pushing the lowly eye protection sale! Start with a plastic baggie.
June 13, 2015 – EYE PRO, Inc., world leader in eyewear and makers of Ultra Gold Wink-Ease, Lash Room Wink-Ease, and Wink-Ease Dark, participated in the 9th Annual Vision Walk in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Saturday, June 12.
“Since we have been supporting and educating tanners for 25+ years on the importance of protecting your vision, it only makes sense that we support VisionWalk 2015,” said EYE PRO president Brenda Fishbaugh.

EYE PRO is proud to join the fight against blindness and participate in helping to raise both critically needed funds for research and awareness about the 10 million Americans affected by blinding retinal diseases.
