A small investment in your business can bring a great return – like attending a top-shelf trade event. Mark your calendars and register to be at the next National Tanning Expo in St. Charles, MO on October 22-23. It’s going to be an exceptional value for the networking and educational opportunities available, including Sun is Life Training. Check out the highlights from PC Tan’s 20th annual Expo held out east in February – Susan Miller and her team always put on one of the industry’s best shows.

While the industry has been changing, it’s still growing in positive directions. This month, we feature a “Sunless Spotlight” section that includes a piece by Jerry Deveney about the evolution of the market sector in the tan biz. I feel it’s growth is more proof that almost everyone still wants to be tan! I’m steadily expanding the sunless services at my salons, and I recommend any operator who doesn’t offer it on some level to explore all the options. Joe Schuster offers info about the regulatory guidelines for sunless, and also talked to a salon pro who is making the most of it in her market.
