Eye Damage—Could This Be You?
December 2008
In the October issue of Island Sun Times, we asked salons to share any incidences of eye damage caused by indoor tanning, so that other salons could learn from their experiences.
Of 59 entries received, we chose 10 winners. The First Place winner is Diana McEnroe, of Finishing Touch Day Spa in Waterloo, IA. Compliments of Solarmeter, Diana will enjoy a UV meter ($159 value) to measure the UV output of the nine tanning systems in her salon. Regular metering of sunlamps is a great way to save on lamp replacement costs, as well as ensure that you always offer your customers high-functioning lamps. Our 2nd-10th Place winners will each receive a box of WINK-EASE disposable eye protection, and FRESH-EASE after-tan body cloths (a $50 salon value, each.) Their entries, as well as other salon operator experiences with eye damage, will appear in future columns. Here is Diana McEnroe’s experience with improper eye protection while tanning indoors…
