Are 8 by 12 rooms big enough to put tanning beds in. The place I am going to rent the rooms are 8 by 12 but a lot of the beds I have looked at says recommonded room size 10 by 10 or 9 by 7. I am going with Heartland beds the Ovation, Brovo, encore and the sundazzler..

if the doors open into the room, it could be a problem .

I have all of the same Heartland equipment except the Sundazzler (I have the 2M) and all of my rooms are 8x8 & 8x9. In the rooms with larger beds you will probably want to replace the doors you have if they swing in with wider double doors. Instead of a 30" or 36" door swinging in you will have 2 18" to 24" doors swinging in.

Be sure to check with you local building dept. for the door requirements. Here all doors must swing into the rooms, not the hallways.

We just built our rooms out at 7x9 for our level 1 28 bulb beds. Our ultrabronz rooms are 8x9. I was going through the same dilema - I wanted to make the rooms a little bit bigger than they are now but decided to stick with the rooms sizes we have in the salon we are in now (we're moving). You don't want too much wasted space. 8x12 seems like PLENTY of space. 12' is a lot and will give plenty of room to move around. 7x9 SEEMS small but there's enough room to have a chair in the corner and a stand with a radio and still have enough floor room so that client's aren't crowded. YOU'LL BE FINE - they usually overcalculate on the recommended room sizes!!!
by the way...you don't live too far from me...it's cool to see NEIGHBORS on the site!!
GOOD LUCK -

If you have the room, they all should be 10x10. This allows for larger units in the future. The Ovations will fit in a 7x8, but always best to allow clients room to move about. IMO, larger rooms equate comfort. Something that will stay in their mind as they salon shop.

ps/ Good selection on beds. Heartland makes and services a quality product.

The more room the better. Itgives you more room to upgrade when the time comes, and the client will feel more comfortable the more space you give them. More room also allows for mor perks in the room. Maybe add a shelf for their personal items and a chair for them to sit while they apply lotion. Als, bigger walls equal more space to advertise lotions and you sell and other deals you amy have going on. My doors have to swing in and I have a bulletine board in each room to advertise specials and upcoming events in the salon.
