3. Hours of Operation - Find out when the tanning salon is open. When you select a tanning salon, you are making a commitment to go at least once a week. Make sure that the salon's hours of operation are the hours that you are free to head to the salon.

4. Equipment - The equipment operators must be properly trained to to handle and operate the tanning equipments. There are different kinds of lamps that are used in tanning equipment. They are for different skin types and do different things. Ask the tanning consultants about these lamps to be sure that they know about the equipment.

5. Accessories - Eyewear is vital when you use a tanning bed and there are goggles made specifically for use with a tanning bed. Be sure that the salon has the FDA approved goggles and that they are sanitized after each use. If the salon asks you to bring your own eyewear, you do not want to go to that salon.

6. Location - Make sure the salon is in a location that is convenient for you and will not require you to travel a great distance. This is important if you are going to be visiting the salon in the evening and will have to walk afterwards.

7. Interview the Tanning Consultants - You want to make sure that the Tanning Consultants are all knowledgeable about the skin lotions that are used in tanning salons. These lotions are different than those used for regular sun use.

The tanning consultants must know the limits of exposure each skin type can be subjected to and the amount of sunscreen to apply for different skin types. The tanning consultants must also be aware of what medications are not allowed to be taken or what is hazardous for this procedure.

When you are selecting a tanning salon it is important that you are not only comfortable, but safe.
