When I said no avail, I mean that I searched for the salon information you were looking for, but had no luck at it...

Check out this website about New York state tanning laws. Under Fuschillo-Weisenberg bill, click "full story" It will bring up the story on a wordpad document on your computer.
In brief, it says state law does not allow anyone under the age of 14 to go to tanning salons to help prevent the growing epidemic of skin cancer. Teens aged 14-18 must have signed statement from their parents to be allowed the use of tanning beds. (best bet would be to just take a parent/guardian with you). But read it so you know the full details on the law, and why it is in affect.
I have searched for salons in Long Island that will allow teens under 16 to tan, but to no avail. Maybe someone else on this site can find that information.
I would imagine that most only allow teens over 16 to tan in their salons due to the high liability. The way they usually look at it is that they are at risk for getting in trouble with the high possibility of your skin being damaged by UV rays, and the possibility of increasing your chances of getting skin cancer. Basically, the earlier you start, the higher your chances are of getting skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
I know I didn't really answer your question, but I hope I was informative.
