The 24 hour tanning rule has been the topic for a great deal of discussion. In an effort to be a responsible salon operator many salons have adopted the strict 24 hour rule. This I think is a responsible thing to do even though there are still many salons that let tanners tan anytime as long as it is the next day.
With all of the negative publicity I would think setting a responsible rule that allows the skin time to heal between tans is a smart thing to do.
How do you do this with minimal blow back from the tanner? Make sure the rule is predominantly posted and is an important part of explaining every package that is sold. Make sure the tanner understands 24 hours and not just once a day. Use the need for a darker tan or more bang for the buck by selling upgrade tanning that provides quicker result. Allowing tanners to tan once a day that may be as little as 12 hours apart is irresponsible. There should always be a hard fast rule in place or that line will always get crossed and abused.
I brought this up again because a tanner reached out to me asking if there was an existing written law that requires the 24 hour rule. This was my response to that inquiry.
I am sorry but the 24 hour rule is for your own protection. The rule adopted by responsible tanning salons is to adhere to the 24 hour rule and software that operates the equipment prevents equipment from being turned on until 24 hours has passed from your previous tan. It is for your own safety. If it is important for you to tan more often than you should I am sure you can find a substandard tanning salon or beauty salon that is not concerned with your safety. It might be smarter for you to plan your schedule to tan within the 24 hour rule. It is important to allow your skin to heal between tans. Be a smart tanner and keep a beautiful healthy looking tan. Also if you want more bang in each tanning session I suggest you try some of the higher level tanning equipment that will give you more color each tan without increasing risk.
