Currently based in the Kansas City area, Celsius Tannery recently signed an agreement with Wal-Mart to open franchised salons in Wal-Marts across the country.
Celsius Tannery® offers the premier tanning experience in convenient locations citywide. Our goal is to make our customers feel welcome and pampered, while providing great results.
Our vision for an upscale tanning salon that was truly a first-class operation has become a reality over the past twenty years.
The Celsius Tannery® story began with one tanning salon in May of 1995 when four friends (two couples) combined their dreams to create a dynamic business. As we opened our first salon in Independence, Missouri, all of us agreed that we wanted to create a tanning salon experience that was totally different from what people had come to expect.
We knew that our equipment was top of the line, and we wanted our salon to be the same. All of us had discussed our own likes and dislikes regarding the experiences we had had as tanning salon customers. We knew that for Celsius Tannery® to succeed we would have to educate our clients about the importance of using the finest products to tan. We also knew that we would have to create ways of doing business that would set us apart from the many other places that have tanning.
Today, Celsius Tannery® offers the premiere tanning experience. Each salon includes a comfortable lobby area, vanity and shower room, and more. The vanity contains all the amenities that you would find in fine salons and spas, including hair spray, body lotion, deodorant, contact lens cases and solution, make up remover, etc… We have clean, spacious showers, plush towels, and fluffy robes. We wanted our customers to feel welcome and pampered.
We are determined to attract and keep customers by doing more than our competitors. We envisioned an upscale salon that was truly a first-class operation. This required a large amount of capital, and we were willing to spend the money in order to make Celsius Tannery® the kind of business we wanted it to be. Because of our capital investment, customers are able to see an immediate difference between Celsius Tannery® salons and other tanning salons.
