About Desert Sun Tanning Salons

What was considered a passing fad several years ago is now as much a part of our lifestyle as renting a video and drive-thrus. Indoor tanning is major in the fitness and beauty sector. It is a passive form of self indulgence for the look great, feel great set sweeping all over and encompassing all generations. We are pleased about our growth and development within our franchise business. We are aggressively seeking franchisees to join the Desert Sun network.
