I have posted this post in the equipment section and haven't received any feedback, so I thought I would post it here also.
I am in the process of opening my 2nd salon and need a little help. In my 1st salon our base beds are 28 lamps Puretan Imapct-100 watts), but with my 2nd salon the base beds will be 33 lamps (Puretan Circe-100 watts) and my level 3 will be a 42 lamp bed with 8 facials (Puretan Ellipse III- 160 watts in the canopy, 100 watts on the bench, and 400 watts for each facial. The Circe is a 20 min bed and the Ellipse is a 15 min bed so I would prefer the level 2, to be a 15-20 min bed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have also already picked out my HP bed and UV-free.

Second salon?

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a level 2 bed for me.

Have you considered a stand up unit?

Where are you buying your beds? Do they not have some suggestions?

Maybe consider even less than 15 minute sessions. The shorter the session time, the more customers you can push through and the more income per hour.

(I will continue to play along, even though you dinged me. I don't hold a grudge. )

The Ellipse should be your level 2. The Level 3 should blow away the Ellipse at a 10 or 12 minute session. Then HP would be level 4.

Oh no it didn't you Tricky Trickster! You posted in 2 forums to make me crazy!

That was my first thought, but my level 1 is 3300 watts and the Ellipse is 8,660 watts. I just think there should be a bed between these due to the amount of watts, lamps, and facials. Right now at the first salon, the ellipse is a level 3 and we charge $11.25 - $15.00 on this bed. If I move it to a level 2 and only charge $4-$8 for it, I just don't see it.
