Key Risks & Mitigations
Your breakeven typically hinges on utilization of beds/booths, membership penetration, and retail attach. The forecast lets you edit:
Adjust inputs to see when contribution margin covers fixed costs, then target utilization and membership thresholds in your launch plan.
Start with demand by daypart and target wait times. Many single-location salons launch with 3–6 sunbeds or 1–2 spray booths; the model shows throughput gains from staggered appointments and memberships.
Offer tiered access (visits/month or discounts), bundle spray + retail aftercare, and set clear rollover rules to protect margins and retention.
Tanning and sunless services sit within the wider beauty economy, with spray-tan demand rising as clients opt for UV-free options and memberships. Industry analysts estimate U.S. tanning salon revenue around the $1.9 billion level in 2025 with modest multi-year growth, while broader U.S. beauty and personal care spending continues to expand into 2025–2030—helping salons lift average ticket via retail and membership bundles.
