MY HOMETOWN

MEET HEATHER CANTIN - SANTEE RESIDENT AND FORMER MISS SANTEE AND AREA MANAGER AT ITAN

I am fortunate to work for a company with a business owner who invests in personal development and life-long skills for all employees. As someone who has a passion for the beauty industry and selfconfidence, I knew that iTAN was the right place for me. I quickly discovered that working at iTAN was a lot more than just a “tanning salon”. I was surrounded by empowered, confident, and ambitious women that led with dedication. Through iTAN I have been able to gain key leadership skills and develop my professional capabilities.

One of the biggest challenges I have faced as an Area Manager, and I’m sure many other local businesses have faced as well, is high employee turnover. I began working at iTAN in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and was faced with the challenges of a new economic reality. At iTAN Santee we have an extensive training process to ensure all of our consultants are equipped with the knowledge to provide a great experience for all of our customers. I am proud to say that we have an amazing team at iTAN Santee that continues to exceed customer satisfaction.

There are so many things that I could rave about being an Area Manager at iTAN, but my most favorites have to be the impact I am able to make each day on our employees and clients. I have trained and mentored many employees to challenge themselves and show up as who they want to be each day. Here at iTAN, my goal is to give my employees the tools and techniques to be successful in their future endeavors. Our clients are our number 1 priority here at iTAN. We strive to build meaningful relationships and have all clients leave with a smile on their face.

Santee, my home sweet home! Growing up in Santee, I attended community events, shopped at local businesses, and even participated in the Miss Santee program. The community of Santee is near and dear to my heart, as I have watched it flourish into an amazing family-oriented community over the last 21 years. Being able to serve and provide a great experience to customers that also call Santee home is rewarding.
