The first Desert Sun Tanning Salon was opened in
2000 in Kent, Washington.
Founded on the simple principles of quality
locations, state-of-the-art equipment and exemplary
customer service the company quickly grew from one
location to over 50 locations throughout the Pacific
Northwest by the end of 2006. Since then, the Desert Sun brand has grown to over
100 locations in Washington, Oregon and California.
THE HOTTEST INDUSTRY UNDER THE SUN.
Vanity is here to stay. It started with the Baby
Boomers, but today members of virtually every
generation are consumed by looking their best. With
over 175
million Americans (more than 60% of the population)
now falling between 18 and 64, this passion for
personal appearance has led to skyrocketing growth
in the tanning salon industry.
According to industry estimates for the United
States, as many as 30 million people tan indoors
each year � in more than 30,000 locations. What was
once considered a passing fad is now a natural part
of our daily desire to look good and feel our best.
Tanning has become an acceptable form of
self-improvement, whatever the season. Given
Americans� pursuit of physical beauty, it's not
surprising that in the last 15 years, annual sales
for the tanning industry are estimated to have grown
from $900 million to over $5 billion and there is
no sign of letting up.*
GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT
Indoor tanning makes it possible for anyone to
achieve a golden glow, even when gloomy weather and
hectic schedules prevent them from enjoying the sun.
As the industry grows, so does awareness of the many
positive benefits that come from tanning. Unlike
sunbathing, Desert Sun offers its clients a
controlled environment, a knowledgeable staff and a
monitored experience in which tanning sessions are
adapted to the skin type and needs of each customer.
We are 100% committed to helping customers look
their very best without undermining their skin's
long-term well-being.
