Working in a tanning salon?

Question

What type of qualifications do you have to have to work at a tanning salon? I know at the salon I go to now, they have plaques on the wall showing where they arre qualified to work there. Where do you do this and how long/how much does this cost?

Answer 1

Plaques on the walls usually mean the people working there are licensed for doing manicures (manicurist) or cutting / styling hair and doing nails (cosemetologist). Those salons are probably full-service salons.

If the salon is for tanning, only, they might be some kind of short-time certificates from the company that produced the tanning beds in that salon, saying that the person took a very short course (like 1-day) on the operation of the tanning bed.

Generally, to do clerk work, or cleanup (wipe downs, towels, etc), or to operate a tanning bed, you do not need any special training or state license. At least not in the several states I have had experience with.

Answer 2

The plaques you see on the wall are from the city health inspectors and possibly massage certifications if it has that service available. They may also have classes on how to take care of the equipment and offer certifications, maybe those certifications say that they have kept a certain standard of excellence. I would read them carefully if you are going to pursue the job and then ask to speak to the manaqer.

Are you wanting to work at the tanning salon so that you can use the facility? Excessive exposure to UV rays WILL cause carcinoma. You don't want to start having your skin removed section by section around age 50 do you?

Answer 3

Why on earth would you need to be qualified to give someone a towel and tell them how to turn the bed on? Maybe you looked at the certificate the owner had to have to operate the salon? Just go in and ask them if they are hiring?

Answer 4

It depends on what state you are in. Some states have regulations that employees must be "certified". Its usually free or provided by the salon and it only takes a couple of hours.

Answer 5

for just a tanning salon you dont need any qualifications
if its a spa of some sort you do

if your the owner you need a business license

Answer 6

If you want to work there, speak to the manager. Ask him/her if she's hiring, or thinking about hiring, ask him/her about what she's looking for in employees (eg. availability, personality, education, etc). Schmooze. If you go there regularly, you probably already know the manager. Talk to them.

If you need to know anything about what qualifications are necessary for a job in Canada look here:

It's the National Occupational Classification (NOC). It's very useful if you're applying for a job because it tells you what skills are usually required for that job.

Good luck in your search!

Answer 7

definite, operating at a tan parlor is fairly high-quality. in simple terms be careful although. I used to artwork at one and know you'd be wanting to wipe down the cubicles before yet another human being enters it so in case your the single doing that, be sure your no longer respiratory contained in the chemical substances or be certain to positioned on a masks in case you fairly could do it. also, as unusual because it sounds and in simple terms as a precaution, I wouldnt do it yet my sister-in-regulation replaced into informed that she replaced into able to tan once a week throughout the time of her being pregnant. I dont imagine they choose your body temperature to upward thrust, notwithstanding the UV light fixtures in simple terms change your correct layer of epidermis. they couldn't outcome the infant.
