I found your list amusing John. But surely the point about not being original is half the point with a franchise as its a replicated system. A franchise is based on the concept that a customer knows what they are going to get no matter which town they visit a franchised outlet (in theory!). But then if you have some of your own creative ideas on what would make a good salon then you are probably better off setting up on your own. Joe Lol… I found your list amusing John.

Cold beds. Keep the place warm enough that you're not laying on an ice cube when you first lay down. (This usually just applies to first in the morning appointments if you go to a busy place.) I miss tanning. :( After I had a skin cancer scare on my shoulder I've been terrified to go tanning or out in the sun without 3000 SPF sunblock on. It was the one place I could just relax. :( I am totally coming into this post late and don’t ask me how I got to this one in general, but I don’t see what was my biggest complain when I tanned.

What I mean by that is: Fresh: Attractive, Open & Clean Environment. Unique ideas in the facility's operation. Friendly: Really Needs No Explanation Professional: A Focus on Clients' Needs. I think all of the nasty stuff that you mentioned above are hold-overs of a time long gone, when business owners weren't client focused. Frankly, I'm glad that time period is gone.

In this kind of economy it can mean the difference between being a business and being out of business, sadly. @Maria @ Hot Tanning Beds, I can’t really say that the selling thing bothers me, it’s a business that needs to make money in order to survive and be able to provide service to you and other existing customers.
