Salons Share Tips for Convincing Tanners to Use Eyewear


A recent Facebook tanning forum posted a myriad of ways to convince salon guests to wear eye protection for every session. Try a few of these great ideas!

“I always share my personal experience with them. I am ashamed to admit that when I worked in a salon, I did not always wear my protective eyewear. I learned during a recent eye exam that I have possible eye damage. After they know about my vision issues, my tan- ners wear their eyewear!”

“I always suggest to tanners that they put their eyewear in a resealable bag to keep it clean. They can then attach their little baggie to their bottle of lotion with a hair tie, so they have everything they need all together. Or better yet, we sell a tanning bag to carry all their necessities.”

“I damaged my own eyesight and night vision by not wearing eyewear back in the day. I always explain the importance of eye protection! I recommend my tanners give their eyewear a little “wiggle” and reposition it halfway through their session to avoid lines. ‘Raccoon eye’ tan lines are my guests’ biggest worry, and they are totally avoidable.”
