For the CURRENT beds you could get away with 5 tons probably, but to ever expand, I'd want more.

Do you have 3 phase or single phase? That makes a difference. For single phase, you have 3 beds running on 30Amps each, 3 running on 40Amps each and the stand-up on a 50Amp. Add the magic tan, the power to run the A/C, the lights and stereos -- you are more than maxed out if single phase OR 3 phase!

In terms of why it is for sale -- a lot of that is probably because it isn't making any money! You have no "big VHR" bed -- not even a "small VHR" bed! The Ambition 300 is a very nice level 2 bed for most salons, but not competitive with the top bed in MOST salons which would be a 160 all around, not 160 canopy/100W bench like the 300.

By the time you add A/C, upgrade Electric, and re-configure your equipment so you can bring in a "big bed" or two --- unless he is giving it away, probably not worth the purchase IMHO.
