YES!! I want to open a tanning salon. I worked in one years agao and I attend the every year faithfully, and have been an entrepenur for the past 3 years.. and I have decided to follow my heart. I love the relaxing atmosphere and I would like to expand my vision on a higher end salon. Which my city lacks.. Theres aloty of cutesy joints around which are well CUTE.. but I want to have a classy spa feel to mine.. so I am going for the gold..
Now I have been reading these blogs and understand there are risks involved.. But hell if we were all afraid of risks there would be no sucess in this world..
So with all said,, Now my questions.. has anyone heard of CanTan or UVA LUX aka. ETS?? they are apparently a consulting company which helps people like me get started... are they any good?? or can anyone suggest another company...
keep in mind I am in alberta canada
I looked over thier business presentaions which both look very appealing to me. but I just don't want to get screwed.
I could do this all on my own which could take me a few years to gather all the research on everything.. or I could put my faith into one of these companies..
which is best??
as well I am clueless when it comes to bed and stand ups , spray tans ets... how on earth would one go about knowing which is the best vs crap?? I want to know all this before I invest of course..
and I keep hearing that have min 1000sq ft.. so that would only really give me about 7-8 beds, 1 stand up and a spray tan. I also want a beauty area and good size front end etc.. so what would be the best space to go with??
what would be the best way to obtain a demographic study of the area I wish to place my business??
I am ever so greatful for any input I can get.. even if it's harsh because i am the stupid newbie..LOL..
but keep in mind you were once in my shoes too!! so be nice!!
but honesty is respected!
Warm Regards
Pamela
