About how much is monthly upkeep and maintenance for a salon and the tanning beds?? I plan on having 5 beds and 1 or 2 stand up booths.

This can vary greatly.. depending on the type of beds you have. Lamp pricing is very different for a bottom of the line bed to a Top of the line bed (especially with facials). It will also depend on how often you will change these lamps .. will you do it every 400 hours, every 1000 hours? What type of beds will you have, will they be known for breaking acrylics all the time and if so this is an expense to think of..

Beds are not beds.. they are very different.. decide what you want and then you may find it easier to answer these questions...

I agree with TiliTan and there is still a lot more than that. You need to keep the beds vaccumed and FREE of other people's hair and lent and such. I could go on and on, but over all you ned to spend a lot of time making your Salon clean and well maintanined.
