Elba Matlack took over running the local tanning salon with her husband last November.

With new owners and a new name, Hartland Hawaiian Tan is now Tan del Sol located at 10072 Highland Rd. in the Fountain Square Shopping Center.

Taking over the business last November, Tan del Sol is the first family business for Hartland resident Elba Matlack and her husband.

“It’s something we’ve always wanted to do,” she said.

Adding to the fact that the tanning salon was also a local business made it even more appealing, according to the new business owner.

As warmer weather and Prom season approaches, Matlack says the tanning salon has been “crazy” with people coming in to get their base tans. She also recommends that customers use lotions consistently to help maintain they’re new “glow.”

“That’s a big thing to get that base tan and maintain it,” she said. “And at home, you have to use moisturizer as well.”

Although much of the business remains the same, Matlack said they have added one more high-intensity tanning bed, bringing the number to eight regular beds and two stand-ups for customers. 

Tan del Sol hours are Mon. – Fri. 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sat. 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. There are no appointments needed. For more information, call 810-632-9826 or email at TandelSol@aol.com or find them on Facebook.
