By Ashley Laabs<\/em><\/p>\n

Through the course of working in a retail environment, you\u2019ll invariably come across difficult clients. But if they only knew what you did, the world would just be a better place for it! Here are some of the most common things that salon owners, managers and employees wish their clients knew:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cI wish you wouldn\u2019t ask me a ton of questions about a product, then buy it online.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Salons are trusted retailers for indoor tanning products, and the staff is full of trained professionals who want to help you make a smart decision for your tan and your wallet. It may seem like a good idea to get that $120 bottle of lotion for $18 online, but you never know what\u2019s in that bottle or how long it\u2019s been in there. Please trust that we are here to supply you with great advice and great products.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. \u201cI\u2019m not going to give you the maximum tanning time just because you ask for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Tanning is different for everyone, and more isn\u2019t always better. We know you want to get your money\u2019s worth, but it\u2019s better to tan smart than to tan constantly. With different UV outputs, types of equipment, and skin types, it takes more work than you think to calibrate the perfect exposure schedule for you. But we\u2019re happy to do the work to ensure you get the best possible results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. \u201cYes, you need to use protective eyewear.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>When it comes to protecting those precious peepers, nothing does the job like eyewear that is specifically designed to block out UV rays. No, sunglasses won\u2019t do the job. No, a towel won\u2019t either. Your eyes are worth this small investment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. \u201cYes, you really should use lotion.\u201d <\/strong>Without lotion, you\u2019ll take a lot longer to tan, and your results won\u2019t be as good. Even though you technically could, you wouldn\u2019t brush your teeth without toothpaste or wash your body without soap, and tanning lotion is the same idea. Once you try using a quality indoor tanning lotion, you\u2019ll wonder how you ever got along without it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. \u201cSpray tanning won\u2019t turn you orange.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, we know exactly which episode of \u201cFriends\u201d you\u2019re talking about, but technology has come a very long way since the debut of spray tanning. The current formulas are sophisticated, and they produce stunning color that our clients find very impressive. On top of that, there\u2019s an entire line of skincare products and additional spray applications full of skincare ingredients to prepare your skin and enhance your new, gorgeous bronze color.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. \u201cYou absolutely do not have to burn in order to tan.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Burning is a huge no-no! The whole reason we use skin typing and design and exposure schedule for you is to give you the color you want without the burn. No matter how many times you tell us, we will never be convinced that you don\u2019t tan unless you burn first. If you let us be your tanning expert and trust our advice, we promise to lead you down the path to dreamy dark color \u2013 sans the burn.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

But if they only knew what you did, the world would just be a better place for it! Here are some of the most common things that salon owners, managers and employees wish their clients knew: \u201cI wish you wouldn\u2019t ask me a ton of questions about a product, then buy it online.\u201d\u00a0Salons are trusted retailers for indoor tanning products, and the staff is full of trained professionals who want to help you make a smart decision for your tan and your wallet. It may seem like a good idea to get that $120 bottle of lotion for $18 online, but you never know what\u2019s in that bottle or how long it\u2019s been in there. Please trust that we are here to supply you with great advice and great products. \u201cI\u2019m not going to give you the maximum tanning time just because you ask for it.\u201d\u00a0Tanning is different for everyone, and more isn\u2019t always better. We know you want to get your money\u2019s worth, but it\u2019s better to tan smart than to tan constantly. With different UV outputs, types of equipment, and skin types, it takes more work than you think to calibrate the perfect exposure schedule for you. But we\u2019re happy to do the work to ensure you get the best possible results. \u201cYes, you need to use protective eyewear.\u201d\u00a0When it comes to protecting those precious peepers, nothing does the job like eyewear that is specifically designed to block out UV rays. No, sunglasses won\u2019t do the job. No, a towel won\u2019t either. Your eyes are worth this small investment. \u201cYes, you really should use lotion.\u201d Without lotion, you\u2019ll take a lot longer to tan, and your results won\u2019t be as good. Even though you technically could, you wouldn\u2019t brush your teeth without toothpaste or wash your body without soap, and tanning lotion is the same idea. Once you try using a quality indoor tanning lotion, you\u2019ll wonder how you ever got along without it. \u201cSpray tanning won\u2019t turn you orange.\u201d\u00a0Yes, we know exactly which episode of \u201cFriends\u201d you\u2019re talking about, but technology has come a very long way since the debut of spray tanning. The current formulas are sophisticated, and they produce stunning color that our clients find very impressive. On top of that, there\u2019s an entire line of skincare products and additional spray applications full of skincare ingredients to prepare your skin and enhance your new, gorgeous bronze color. \u201cYou absolutely do not have to burn in order to tan.\u201d\u00a0Burning is a huge no-no! The whole reason we use skin typing and design and exposure schedule for you is to give you the color you want without the burn. No matter how many times you tell us, we will never be convinced that you don\u2019t tan unless you burn first. If you let us be your tanning expert and trust our advice, we promise to lead you down the path to dreamy dark color \u2013 sans the burn.    ","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wish-customers-knew\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wish-customers-knew\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wish-customers-knew\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Frustrated-1-25-17.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Frustrated-1-25-17.jpg","width":1359,"height":1000},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wish-customers-knew\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"6 Things You Wish Your Customers Knew"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/","name":"Smart Tan News","description":"","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#organization","name":"Smart Tan","url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Smart-Tan.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Smart-Tan.png","width":500,"height":164,"caption":"Smart Tan"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SmartTan","https:\/\/x.com\/SmartTan"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#\/schema\/person\/722dc7049af55e0ed743d67ce9ed4819","name":"smarttannews","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c0189f76465f47ce293287354f8076bfdb83130e65538eb34fcd2cd44e9f0e53?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c0189f76465f47ce293287354f8076bfdb83130e65538eb34fcd2cd44e9f0e53?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c0189f76465f47ce293287354f8076bfdb83130e65538eb34fcd2cd44e9f0e53?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"smarttannews"},"url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/author\/smarttannews\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24915"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24916,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24915\/revisions\/24916"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
