High Contrast-Tanning
What is high-contrast tanning? It's a style of tanning that involves using teeth whiteners to help show off a great tan. Some whiteners are activated by heat in tanning beds to lift stains. Kits come with a mouthpiece and mint-flavored solution that gives professional results in minutes, during tanning sessions. Most people see results in two to four sessions. They are only meant to be used once per day, for 8 to 30 minutes. For low pressure tanning beds, it may require 25 minutes to be effective. If you have a big event coming up, or you just want to brighten your smile, take the opportunity to brighten while you tan. You can find teeth whitening supplies from your tanning bed supplies and tanning accessories dealer. Look for them at MasterTanning (www.mastertanning.com), and always follow safety recommendations from the manufacturer.

Ask people what they look for in indoor tanning beds and what they would like to see in your salon.
