History

Established in 2000.

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. Something had to be done to create more value for existing and future customers and to re-​energize sales at the franchise locations. 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.
