Did you know that the earth’s ozone layer is what keeps us from burning up? There’s a hole in the ozone layer, and as it con- tinues to grow, the sun’s ultraviolet radiation that reaches the earth will be less and less filtered. This is just one of the many ways your eyes can be overexposed to ultraviolet light.
When your eyes are sunburned it is called Photokeratitis. Yes, you can actually sunburn your eyeballs!
February, 2016 – EYE PRO, Inc., world leader in eyewear and makers of Ultra Gold WINK-EASE, Lash Room WINK-EASE and WINK-EASE Dark, is offering FREE samples of Lash Room WINK-EASE to salons.
“We have been in the eye protection business since 1985 with our ‘original’ WINK-EASE product,” said EYE PRO President Brenda Fishbaugh. “Salons and tanners just love our Lash Room WINK-EASE we introduced last season because the taller cone makes for more lash room. It has all the improvements we made to our original WINK-EASE last year – better adhesive, visibility and ease of assembly – but what we hear the most about is the fantastic visibility,” explained Fishbaugh. “Lash Room WINK-EASE are silver in color, and when folded into a cone, are much more of a comfort, custom fit for long eye lashes, eye lash extensions or clients wearing mascara,” Fishbaugh continued.

A frightening new trend has hit your tanning rooms. Your tanners are taking off the eye protection they used to wear, because now they are using their phones during their sessions! And of course, with goggles on, they can’t see well enough to send text messages, so they now have their eyes open while the sunbed is on!
A lot of salon operators tell me they lecture tanners about not using their phones while tanning, but I would like to make another suggestion. Suggest that they wear eye protection that gives them a full UV block as well as the visibility needed to text and play games while getting their golden glow in your salon.
January 2016 – 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, is offering a new eye protection product — SunlessSPECS protective eyewear for sunless spray techs.
“We were contacted by a sunless spray tan salon owner, and she wanted to know what she could wear to protect her eyes while spraying customers off-site where typically there isn’t great ventilation. So we have introduced SunlessSPECS for hand spray techs to protect their eyes when they are spraying a wedding party or group of cheerleaders off-site”, says Brenda Fishbaugh, president.
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…

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…
