Tanning Salon Gold
My daughter has had a Tanning Salon for some years now and has done very well. It is expensive as a start up if you get the best beds. She also has the new Spray On Booths which are expensive. She has seen a bit of a decline with new folks mainly because of the Economy but has retained her loyal customers for years. Best of luck.
