History

Established in 2007.

When a person leaves the beach after a sunny day of relaxation and tanning, he or she feels a sense of mental renewal and physical revitalization. This was the idea behind the company’s inception.

In April of 1995, CEO Stephen Smith coupled his experience in personal training and gym management with an entrepreneurial drive to open «Electric Beach,» a tanning salon in the Uptown district of New Orleans, Louisiana. Steve Smith’s plan was to bring professionalism and franchising to the indoor tanning industry.

It became clear to Smith in the fall of 2004 that the market for indoor tanning services had become stagnant. After an extensive amount of research and creative thinking, the «Contempo Spa» idea was born. The idea was to curiously marry the tanning business with the day spa business, yet continue to offer services in a private room with machines performing the wellness treatments. Thereby, Planet Beach® would create the hybrid «Contempo Spa» industry.

Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

In 2005 after 20 years of being in the beauty industry as a successful hairdresser I decided I wanted something more. I knew I wanted to be a business owner and I wanted to go with franchise systems for the support and the name. After many months I stumbled upon this company and I loved the idea of having an affordable day spa for everybody. I opened my first location in my hometown of New Port Richey, Fl. and haven’t looked back since. We have been very fortunate to have wonderful people and and a great community that really deserves a little affordable pampering in their lives. I enjoy making people feel good and look their best through the wide range of services we provide. I have plans on opening more locations in the future and am very excited to do so.
