Allow Tanning Salons to Reopen May 1st!
Allow tanning salons too reopen effective May 1st with the understanding that we already follow proper social distancing guidelines and recommendations. Individuals are in a private room and every room is sanitized with hospital grade disinfectant between every customer.
Why is this important?
Why is this important?
Tanning salons are primarily solely-owned small businesses. We are seasonal based business and unfortunately this is our "peak season". (April - June) In most cases, the income we earn during this period helps suppliment our bills during the slower months. It will be very difficult to recover from our "peak season" losses. The PPP and EIDL programs have failed a majority of us and we are left without any means of income while being shut down. Tanning salons have always prided themselves in being extremely clean and sanitary places. We already practice heightened sanitary and privacy/spacing procedures. New procedures would include: appropriate social distancing in lobby upon check-in and then sent to a private room that has been sanitized thoroughly. Check-in procedure will be a brief as possible. No more than 10 people at a time will be permitted in the salon at one given time. If more than one door to business is present, one door will be labeled "enter" and one "exit".
Please consider these health benefits that have been linked to tanning and UV light treatment:
-Sustains good mental health
-Kills viruses & bacterias
-Treats psoriasis, eczema and other skin conditions
-Produces much needed Vitamin D which has been proven to help people with:
-Vitamin D deficiencies
-High blood pressure
-Seasonal Affective Disorder
-Depression and anxiety
...and many more benefits
I encourage you to sign our petition and help us get open ASAP!
