Protective  Eyewear Is A Salon Essential

IT’S THE LAW: According  to  the  Food  and Drug Administration (21 CFR 1040.2 0 ). Salon owners must explain to each customer the proper use of protective eye wear. Yet it's a sad fact that some clients still  tan without protection and risk permanent eye damage.

To day's eye wear manufacturers help make this task easier by providing stylish protection that is also comfortable to wear.

California Tan

Peepers® are ergonomically designed to fit the exact shape of the eyes, eliminating tan lines during UV exposure. Peepers® utilize quality lens material found in outdoor sunglasses, which allow tanners to make adjustments in the bed without having to remove their goggles. They come equipped with an adjustable string for a secure, comfortable fit and are available in a variety of colors to suit tanners’ individual tastes. Peepers® meet all FDA regulation specifications for eyewear, and soon will be available in three new colors: red, a metallic rust and royal blue.

Sunsets® are modern-looking reflective goggles with stylish appeal that protect eyes from the potentially harmful effects of UV exposure. The forward-thinking globe design delivers a customized fit and prevents tan lines from developing on the bridge of the nose and face. The transparent design allows greater visibility while in the tanning bed. Available in three hot colors—Fiery Red, Electric Blue and Sunshine Yellow— Sunsets® meet all FDA regulation specifications for eyewear.

Eye Pro, Inc.

WINK-EASE® are the original disposable eye protection, the company says. Clean and disposable, WINK-EASE® block UVA and UVB and are 100-percent sanitary and hygienic. Made with a medical grade adhesive, they fold easily into a cone and tap gently in place and stay there during the tanning session. WINK-EASE® are lightweight and completely transparent for optimal comfort.

And because they’re adjustable, they custom-fit to every eye shape.

VIEWkeepers!® offer the same protection, sanitation and ease of application as WINK-EASE®. VIEWkeepers!® offer more eyelash room, and the custom-fit allows tanners to adjust the size to their eye shape, which means more exposed brow and no more “raccoon eyes.” Because VIEWkeepers!® are disposable, tanners just remove and dispose, and salon operators have no goggles to clean.
