About Hollywood Tans

Hollywood Tans of Sewell, New Jersey , was incorporated in 1994 and began Franchising in 1998. With about 325 units currently open and a presence in 31 states, they are well-established across the U.S. Clients of Hollywood Tan salons are typically female and range from 18-45 years old, although the mix of people interested in tanning is changing. Where there used to be a much heavier usage among females than males, the current percentage is about 65 percent female and 35 percent male. There are a number of tanning businesses in the U.S. but Hollywood Tans has an edge that makes them unique. They manufacture all of their equipment. We build our tanning beds and booths, as well as our millwork facility, where we fabricate the front counters and display shelves and we even private label all of our tanning lotions. We are a one-stop shop for our franchisees. A Hollywood Tans salon is a little different than most salons in that the majority of units are stand-up booths. They tan faster and better and are more sanitary. You get a more even tan because all the bulbs are an equal distance away. For the salon owner, they are also better because they take up less space and clients take less time to tan, meaning you can increase the number of people you serve. Because the tanning equipment is actually manufactured by Hollywood Tans, the franchisee gets a lifetime warranty. Training also includes trouble-shooting the equipment so an owner will avoid down time.
