Does Tanning Salons Hire African Americans?

I am Puerto Rican and African American and was just wandering can I get a job at a tanning salon?? I have tons of customer service experience and am very well qualified , the only problem is I think me being darker skinned, I might not portray the look their looking for. However, i do work @ Abercrombie %26amp; Fitch and is considered one of the best looking girls there (sorry if it seems like im bragging thats really not my intentions). So I guess you can say I have a look that can appeal to all kind of people!! I actually really do go tanning to get a more bronze complexion!! So what do you guys think? Do I have a chance? Please no obvious answers, just asking for a opinionDoes Tanning Salons Hire African Americans?
Of course-- in America they can't discriminate against race. Equal opportunity employer.

  • Why do Asians make fun of us Americans so much? In the sushi restaurants, in the nail salons...?

    It seems like they are always really rude with their gossiping etc. Talking about the customers. I sat at a sushi bar once with a friend, and was watching the sushi chefs behind the counter staring at my friend and snickering to themselves. And the women at the nail salons are ALWAYS talking smack about the customers. And lets not forget the dry cleaners.............





    What is it??? Why do they hate us?Why do Asians make fun of us Americans so much? In the sushi restaurants, in the nail salons...?
    Im an asian myself (Malay)...but i dont do that to americans or to anyone else. Thats just very rude.


    Its normally the chinese and japanese are doing that alot. I dont know why.





    I myself dont even like Chinese people. And sometimes i feel like they are talking bout me in their chinese language and giggles.Why do Asians make fun of us Americans so much? In the sushi restaurants, in the nail salons...?
    Well, we make fun of them all the time. All throughout elementary school I remember kids pulling their eyes to look squinty and ';ching chong';-ing, and really... Now that I'm older, age hasn't changed that, only made it less frequent.





    Why wouldn't they make fun of us in return?





    It does make me insecure, though. o.o
    in all honesty, havent you ever made fun of the asian people like in a chinese restaurant or something, ie making fun of their accent or something, truth is asians get petty kicks and giggle just like us lol
    Just being racist.


    But it's ok to be racist towards white people....


    Welcome to the one way street that is ';racism';
    idk, my Asian friends are nice, stop going to the places

    鈻撯枒鈻?Why do americans go to tanning salons ? 鈻撯枒鈻?

    In my country nobody does that !鈻撯枒鈻?Why do americans go to tanning salons ? 鈻撯枒鈻?
    Because their just dying for skin cancer. :)


    jk, but they just do it because they feel that tanned


    skin is unique, and some white people tend to try to tan


    though they can't and get sunburned in the end,


    and others tan but look orange as a carrot.


    Apparently their just not satisfied with their skin.鈻撯枒鈻?Why do americans go to tanning salons ? 鈻撯枒鈻?
    I am Russian, and I can tell you for sure - so many young Russian girls go to tanning salons, especially those living in the capital. So Americans are not the only ones:) For some people having a nice tanned skin is kind of fashionable, a sign of health, prosperity.


    Well, I don't understand why some of them tan all year round, it's harmful and everybody know it but how can one explain it to a girl of 15-18?
    wow way to stereotype Melissa A. and no not all americans are rich thank you very much. it amazing how people automatically assume because we are american that we are rich. many of us are struggling paycheck to paycheck to pay our bills .





    but anyways a lot of americans go tanning because having tan, even skin looks good. end of story. i am american and i've never gone to a tanning salon nor am i rich. but i do tan outside in the summer just because it looks good to be tan. don't hate because your jealous melissa.
    In America, an essential part of being beautiful and looking good is having dark, tanned, skin.





    These are not my beliefs and I do not believe that is true. But as media upon other things depict.. Tan is an essential characteristic in beauty.





    Once again, not my views. Not saying I don't think tanned skin looks good, because on some people it looks very good, but it is not required on everyone to look pretty and handsome, some people really pull off the pale and untanned look and probably won't look as good if they went and tanned, and I can provide examples of this if asked of me.
    I don't understand either, I am Chinese and asians regard paleness as pure, flawless beauty...but living in America, its different.





    I think its different factors:





    1. tanned skin = people who are active and go outdoors, not shutins who stay indoors all their life, the ';beach look';





    2. the media has a lot of tanned actors/actresses





    3. tanned skin is linked is sensuality, something foreign, not normal pale...like italian or middle eastern skin...
    To lalalyssa: Why'd would YOU assume that the other ';Melissa'; person is jealous?





    But to answer the question, it's because a lot of Americans think that tan, dark skin looks good. Personally, I think it looks gross, and that pale (but not sickly) skin is more refreshing. To each their own.
    Because Americans are sometimes rich, decadent and pampered and not very bright.
    Because they weren't blessed with a nice skin color tone????

    Can africn americans get a tan other than from the sun as in like a tanning salon if so how is it ?

    Yes I've been to one already.Can africn americans get a tan other than from the sun as in like a tanning salon if so how is it ?
    Yes, African Americans can go to the tanning salon. Those with lighter skin tones that is. If you have honey or light tan skin it will darken to like pecan brown. If you already have a light brown shade I wouldn't recommend tanning.Can africn americans get a tan other than from the sun as in like a tanning salon if so how is it ?
    Yes blacks can tan, but being a black woman myself wouldn't see why, I love my skin tone
    Just being nigro race you can get a tan too


    AND SUN DAMAGE!


    THIS DOES NOT PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE SKIN IN TANNING SALON! ANY RACE CAN GET A TAN
    Yep we tan, our skin pigement starts out (of course) darker but its pretty much the same. You get a sun kissed look, just like you just came off of vaca.
    Very very slightly. Tans are from a buildup of melanin. Melanin is skin pigment. Obviously black people have skin pigmentation. So why wouldn't a ton of sun make them a tiny bit darker?
    Yes, they can go to the tanning salon, but then it would just make them look South Indian. I don't really see the point of doing that.

    I want a haircut like victoria beckham or rihanna. What salons can cut african american hair like that in ATL?

    I am african american and i am trying to grow out of a relaxer (back to my natural hair) so it has to be a salon that uses no chemicals, but i also want a salon that can cut my hair properly (with razors, as well as scissors). Any referrals?

    for Victoia- she has naturally straight hair so its a easy to care for style for her- she just needs frequent trims to maintain the look





    for Rihanna- its straightened and flat ironedI want a haircut like victoria beckham or rihanna. What salons can cut african american hair like that in ATL?
    If you're African American your best bet is to find yourself a great Dominican salon and I bet ya they'll give you the results you are looking for !!!! Your hair will also be silky smooth and light!!! Good Luck!!!
    If you have natural hair DO NOT use a Dominican hairstylist!!


    They may know about frying relaxed hair but they know nothing about styling tightly curl natural hair. Stick with a sistah that knows our texture and the way our hair behaves.
    I dont know of any sorry but i just wanted to say that i think its a really good idea because that cutt is like springs biggest look!
