The TanWall Blog

Tanning industry leader just made creating a salon more cost effective, flexible and easier. TanWall™, manufacturer of modular salon wall systems understanding the challenges based on the economy and the changes and the need to be more eco-friendly, has just launched a new website using the latest in technology.

Originally Posted on PRWEB, June 11, 2009 — A California based manufacturer of modular salon walls and other tanning products has unveiled a new website for the tanning industry. The new site integrates friendly navigation, as well as an inviting UI, blogging, and an expandable framework. The new TanWall.com has been developed to take advantage of the current market with the latest in Web 2.0 and SEO techniques, and to showcase the wide range of products and choices TanWall has to offer.

In this industry, style and colors dominate the market place. Customers trying to achieve an edge over their competition and take market share from their area look to TanWall. From European styles that provide a euro look and feel to a Mediterranean color scheme with soft colorful ceramics and light ocean colors such as light lavenders and terra cotta tiles, the options and looks are only limited by the imagination.

Recently, TanWall has introduced reception counters and point of purchase displays to accent their walls. With so many colors for every product you will be tempted to sample several combinations. The new website allows you to do just that–dream, imagine, and visualize the look for your personalized salon. In the end you may add a unique touch to your shop or perhaps brand your franchise. TanWall and its staff of designers can assist you in designing the exact look and feel you want for your image.

TanWall has been designing rooms for over two decades. Its parent company, Allied Modular Building Systems, Inc., has built well over 10,000 projects in 17 countries since its inception in 1989. “We are constantly working with salon owners daily and trying new colors styles to not only fit their personality but their vision”, says Kristina Admire, National Sales Manager for TanWall.

TanWall is part of Allied Modular Building Systems, with manufacturing facilities in Nashville, Tennessee and Orange, California. Since 1989, Allied Modular Building Systems has secured its reputation as the best in the modular industry and with the recent growth of the tanning salon trade Allied Modular saw the need for an easier approach to the unique situations presented by salon designs. After providing more than a million square feet of office space, Allied Modular Building Systems launched TanWall™, providing an industry first with the innovation of SceneSations™ and SalonWall™.

TanWall’s choices, options, problem solving and good ol’ fashioned customer service have driven us straight into the lead in the salon wall industry. It is no surprise that time and time again we satisfy the many salon owners that cross our path. Like, Robert, Director of Sales and Marketing at Sun Factory. Here’s what he had to say about TanWall:

“I have personally built out 15 salons as an owner or manager. My newest location was a challenge. I needed a fast turnaround to be open in time for season. The city required full building plans for permanent walls. This involved architect fees, construction costs, inspections, etc. The costs and time associated did not work with my plan so I explored modular walls as an option. I stumbled across TanWall. After speaking with Kristina, who is extremely personable, as well as knowledgeable, I chose to go with their modular product. I opted to lease my walls for the low initial investment and the tax benefits of leasing.”

Robert made the right choice indeed.

“Kristina rushed us through the process to make sure that we would have our salon open on time,” Robert explained.

For Sun Factory Robert chose our Rosewood wall panels, Silver framing, and upgraded to Diamond Plate doors. 12 rooms of various sizes, to meet bed specifications, were designed by our wonderful engineering department. Only 3-4 weeks later, after approving the final layout plan, Sun Factory received its walls ready to assemble. “Our walls were delivered as promised and we were able to fully assemble 12 rooms in 3 days,” Rober added.

In the end, how did it all turn out once it was assembled? Why don’t we have Robert tell us himself?

“Our salon gets rave reviews from our clients. It is the nicest salon in our chain and I look forward to using TanWall for all future salons. In fact, we are preparing to franchise, and TanWall will be featured in all new corporate as well as franchise locations.”

Vanessa Pulido

After TanWall Modular Walls released its much talked about “Get a Room!” campaign at the 2008 ITA World Tanning Show there was a major buzz: Who is the new TanWall model?

Kristina Admire, National TanWall Sales Manager, says, “We had salon owners and vendors calling and emailing to ask, ‘Who is your model? She’s beautiful!’”

TanWall’s beautiful model is Vanessa Pulido. Vanessa is more than a pretty face: she recently celebrated her sixth year with TanWall Modular Walls. Unbelievably enough, in her day-to-day work life she is not a model—but she could be! Vanessa is TanWall’s Purchasing Manager, and she plays a huge role in talking with designers about what colors are going to be hot for the next season.

Stay tuned for more appearances from TanWall’s model Vanessa Pulido! We absolutely love her!

Kristina Celebrates her 4th year at TanWall

Jan 3, 2009 marked the fourth anniversary of Kristina Admire as the National TanWall Sales Manager with TanWall.

Kristina received her bachelor’s degree from University of Colorado, where she double-majored in Business and Communication. She has always loved working with people and has an incredible drive for success.

“Working in the tanning industry has been a dream for me! It’s allowed me to combine both my love of business and my passion for being creative. It’s so great helping salon owners create their unique vision for their salon and then seeing it play out into reality,” Kristina says.

Growing up in Orange County, or—as some affectionately call it—“the OC”, tanning was always a part of Kristina’s life. Kristina says, “These four years have flown by! I honestly love what I do! The best part of my job is when my salon owners send me pictures of their completed salons. It is such a great feeling to know I helped them create their dream!”

Tanning Salons Walls Are Now In Black

The fast growing Tanning Industry is a business where image is everything. Tanning Salon Owners are in the trade to tan their clients giving them a healthy glow making them look and feel fantastic. Well it doesn’t stop there; Salon Owners are continually striving to achieve a great ambience at their salons as well to attract their clientele.

TanWall’s design team spends a lot of time researching what looks are hot and in demand for salon owners to make sure their salons stand out against their competition. What TanWall found is Black is Back! “Due to the overwhelming request by salon owners to create a lounge feel, Black was being asked for continually by our Salon Owners.” said Kristina Admire National TanWall Sales Manager. Kristina continues “My job is to make Salons look great and be successful; I listen to what the Salon Owners want and get my designers to make it available. A visit to the new TANWALL website will treat you to a variety of different colors and looks to match your brand identity including now TanWall’s new Black Licorice TanWall’s.

TanWall Modular Walls have been offering Salon owners an incomparable variety of upscale looks to choose from since inception. TanWall Modular Wall colors rage from contempory, to sheik wood grains to the new lounge inspired Black Licorice. Salon owner Lukasz Dabrowski comments “Going with TanWall Modular Walls for our 2 salons was an easy choice for us. We were trying to coordinate so many different vendors when you open a new business it was nice know that the TanWall’s were going to come already finished with the color on them. Lukasz continues “The TanWall’s instantly transform your salon in to ambiance you want a lot easier than hard construction with thankfully no painting!!”
