Re: Existing salon needs new beds

Dr. Kern beds tan fine - most beds do, especially if you use quality lamps and replace them aggressively.

That said, as a general rule, Dr. Kern beds run hot (as in - so hot to lay on the acrylic that tanners have to leave the session early), are a HORROR to install/break down/maintain, etc.

As someone else once said - "they are the ETS of Europe". Lots of people BUY ETS. Few people re-buy them the next go-round.

There are MANY many other brands of beds I would recommend buying over Dr. Kern.

As for spray booths -- I like the Mystic or Cabana Mist. For the money, I'd probably go with Cabana Mist now, but it depends how strong a sunless market you think you'll have to see if it would be "worth" the extra investment in Mystic.

There are more BAD spray booths than beds. Research carefully.

Where is the salon located that you're thinking of purchasing?
