TESTIMONIALS
   

In 1995, knowing the popular demand for indoor tanning, Carolina Women's Fitness opened her doors offering tanning as an extra service to our members and to the general public.  Our tanning business has grown so much; we have given this feature its own name, "Palms Tanning Salon."  We have even added a sunless spray system, which has also been a huge success. 

The American Sun equipment sales team has been very helpful and informative in our bed selections.  They are only a phone call away with their customer service.  We have had technical difficulties solved over the phone.  How great is that?
 
Our lotion representative keeps us well informed on all the new products, any special sales, and any upcoming seminars she thinks we might be interested in attending.  We have a great business relationship with a wonderful personal touch that we have only found with the American Sun staff.

It is a great pleasure to work with the folks at American Sun.  Their friendly style combined with knowledge and belief in all their products is a winning combination.  Thank you for helping us and Palms Tanning Salon to become a great success.

We have been using American Sun Systems for our Salon needs for the past 6 years. Everyone at American Sun Systems is always willing to help, whether it’s a simple technical issue, a lamp question, or we need to add equipment to our salons.

We are entering our sixth year of business in 2008 and American Sun has helped us grow from a single 12 bed salon, to a two location operation with over 40 pieces of equipment. As we move forward and grow through franchise development, you can rest assured that American Sun Systems will be right there with us to help along the way.

Thanks to all of our friends at American Sun Systems, we couldn’t do it without you!!!

With having 4 salons, we require the best client service the tanning industry can offer. That is just what Body & Sol Tanning Boutique gets from American Sun Systems. Our lotion rep Christine is the best in the industry, with her knowledge of lotions and keeping us up on industry happenings, gives us the edge we need to be successful in the tanning industry and to continue to grow on into the future.

Thank you Christine and American Sun Systems for our continued success now and on into the future.

In October 2004, we opened our first tanning salon. As a first time owner, we were uncertain of which products to carry and what equipment to use so we chose American Sun Systems to help us make the right decisions for our business venture. They even helped us find the right location and design the salon layout as well. In March 2006, we purchased our second location and relied, again, on our business partner, American Sun, for guidance on changes to the salon. We especially enjoy working with our lotion sales rep who keeps us informed on all the new products and changes in the industry. Our orders are filled and ready for pick-up in a timely manner. Thank you American Sun Systems for helping us to be a success. We look forward to continuing our business relationship with you.

American Sun Systems is not just a distributor, they’re our team mates. Recently, they took time out to visit our salons and get to know the Island Tan family on a personal level. They don’t focus only on how much product a salon purchases from them; they’re interested in anything to help our business grow. Our products rep makes us feel like we are not just another salon. She calls to see how business is going and talks to us on a personal level; she actually knows our names! She calls to share ideas on sales techniques, remind us about rebates, product specials and educational classes. She even gave up her cell number which came in handy one time when our busiest location had technical difficulties. We had tried everything to fix the problem but at 6:30 pm we called her cell phone. She, in turn, called a member of their technical support team and they called us back. He had the correct part shipped to us the next day. Now that’s service! They’re willingness to help in any situation puts them above the rest. They understand that a business must be serviced to service the business. Thank you American Sun for being a part of the Island Tan Family!

As a 14 year veteran of the tanning industry, I have watched my business expand from one to six salons. The service we have received from American Sun Systems has allowed us to continue to grow our company in seamless fashion. We are proud to be associated with American Sun and the Soltron family. Their prices were competitive; their service was top-notice and impossible to beat! Thanks not only to our sales reps but to all in the American Sun family!

We opened our salon in May 1997, ordering four beds and one stand-up unit from another company. They shipped all by truck and the rest was up to us. We struggled blindly to put the beds together and get them hooked up correctly. Three years later, we received a catalog from American Sun Systems and placed our first lotion order with them. Our rep is always cheerful and full of knowledge about the best lotions, bulbs and rebates! That same year, we bought our first Sundash bed from American Sun. What a difference! They delivered and set-up the bed and made sure everything was up-andrunning. Since then, we’ve replaced our four old beds with four of their new ones. New customers are always amazed that they get tanned so much faster at Beach Break than at other salons. We love American Sun Systems and always recommend them. If we ever have a question, they’re always there to help and advise.

It’s been a year since I opened my salon to the public and I’m thrilled to say that American Sun Systems has been with me the entire way. The day I placed my first order with them, I knew I had chosen the right supplier when my rep assured me that she was, “Just a phone call away”. She floored me when she added, “If you have any questions at all, feel free to call me anytime. I’m not just your product supplier; I’m here to help you with the success of your entire business”. Wow, somebody pinch me! Thanks to American Sun, I’m selling products I thought would never move. My customers love the selection and I love the fact that they look to me for advice on new products. To this day, I proudly work solely with American Sun. They have played a huge part in the success of my salon and I have complete confidence that they will take care of me again and again. Thanks guys. You’re an awesome group of people.

We were excited when we purchased an existing salon in 2005, even though we didn’t know much about the tanning industry. Fortunately, the equipment had been purchased from American Sun Systems. After our initial phone call to them, we realized that we were dealing with an exceptional vendor committed to helping our business succeed. They have been willing to help in any way and with their support; we were able to purchase an Ergoline up-grade bed in our first year! From the latest lotion updates and product promotions to ongoing education and maintenance support, American Sun has been there with expert advice and direction. They have supported our business while making us feel as if we are their only customer. What a pleasure to deal with a vendor visibly committed to the success of our business. Other distributors have tried to get our business by promising the “deal of the day” with no value or service. American Sun’s commitment to our business succeeding is priceless. Thanks American Sun!

I have managed The Tanning Bed for seven years now. Through those years, I have used several different suppliers yet none compare to American Sun Systems. When I am working with a client I find it is very important to have a close relationship with them; not just see them as a customer. That’s just what I find at American Sun. I have a great relationship with my products rep; she is always there and informs us on all the new promos and products. We have also purchased Sundash and Ergoline beds. They are the best and our customers love them!! I was highly impressed when both sales reps came to our salon (6 hours away) to give a training class to my staff. This is loyalty! When I decided to use American Sun Systems as our distributor, I knew I had made the right choice. They are a top-notch company.

When Kris and I first began to explore the idea of opening a salon, we knew that we would first need to become better acquainted with the industry. After meeting with several other distributors and feeling unsatisfied, we had our meeting with American Sun Systems. Their sales team is friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. After working with them for several weeks, we realized that we had made the right decision. Not only because of the attention they gave to us but, also, because they distribute the finest tanning beds and lotions in the industry.

After conquering the numerous obstacles facing 20 and 23-year old entrepreneurs in securing finances and a lease, we still needed to train ourselves for the actual day-to-day operations of the salon. American Sun Systems prevailed once more with their annual expo in Greensboro, N.C. While there, we learned a great deal from their seminars, met and exchanged knowledge with other salon owners and put faces to the many names we had been dealing with for so many months.
Nowadays, while we do not call as much as we used to, we know that we can rely on them to help solve any problem; from bed cleaning tips to bulb replacement and more. We are proud to call them not just business colleagues but good friends, and honored to be a part of their family. Thanks to all on the American Sun Systems team!
