Key West Tanning offers a touch of sun this season

The promise of spring may be just around the corner, but here in Fayette County it still feels like the middle of winter. So if you are looking for a way to beat those winter blues, a trip to Key West Tanning Salon should do the trick.

Known as ";the tropical retreat in the middle of town" Key West Tanning Salon offers a range of tanning beds, lotions, and essential tanning accessories.

The tanning salon also caters to your own individual needs, giving each customer a personalized skin type analysis and making Key West Tanning Salon a truly unique tanning experience.

"This allows us and the customer to better determine the fastest and easiest way to achieve the results they want and expect," salon owner Deborah Alexander said.

The skin type analysis includes the type of tanning bed best suited, the duration and schedule for each visit, and the best lotion to use in order to achieve the customer's goals.

The personalized treatment has made Key West Tanning Salon stand out from the other salons in the area.

"Our customers tell us they enjoy the special attention that is given to them and the overall atmosphere of the salon," Alexander said. "Everyone who has visited Key West Tan has told us that they really like the look of the salon, and we regularly receive complements on the variety of tanning equipment we have available, as well as their look and performance."

Key West Tanning Salon opened its doors in July 2003, and has recently expanded its hours to better serve its customers. Alexander said it was a long time dream of hers to have her own business in town.

"My choice of a tanning salon was easy," she said. ";My daughter Dawn and I have been avid tanners for years, and we just took the best of what was available and tried to make it better." Dawn is the general manager of the salon, making this a family business.

It is also a community business. The salon offers a 25 percent discount to city employees and students, good all year round. Key West Tanning has also contributed to several charity events and has sponsored local middle and high school ball teams.

"This is our home, too," Deborah says. "We feel a sense of pride being able to give a little something back to the community."
