PureTan Vs UWE - tanTALK

Coloradomurphy · 10-05-2001, 01:12 PM

This is the first time I have posted a message here, I am in the process of starting a tanning salon. I have been tanning on UWE equipment, but would like to find out your opinions on the UWE vs Puretan. Is one realy better than the other? And do customers realy understand the differences? Or should I be looking at another manufacture? Thanks.

check all your options before buying. i would also suggest that you feel comfortable with the company that you are purchasing from. after the sale is a big thing. will they support you and help take care of the problem if one should arise. i personaly love the uwe bed i have. i have a mix of beds and the uwe is very good for me.

Pure Tan's bigger beds are quite amazing and HUGE!

I have UWE equipment.
I am very happy with it and I also believe
that this is why I am doing very well.

Uranus, you are correct about UWE. It is great equipment and we almost went with them.

However, I am in the same neighborhood as coloradomurphy. (actually we live about 3 miles from each other) I am not sure what equipment they are going to use or if they have made the dicesion yet. We decided not to go with UWE only because our local distributor also owns several salons in the Denver metro area and has plans to open more.

Why give money to someone who might just open a mega salon down the street from us?

How about it coloradomurphy? Where are you in the process?

BTW, we are almost done with the new salon. Please come by when we open and say hi!

I have decided to go with UWE, because of the visable differences and the quality. I also have a good working relationship with the distributor and I feel his success is based on his equipment, which I feel will increase my chances of success. I would like to thank everyone for thier imput.
