Ok well what is my luck?!? My boss walks into my office to talk to me about tanning...go figure. Keep in mind the company i work for is an facility management company...none the less, He is thinking about opening a salon and wants me to do some research. Can anyone help me out with this one?

He asked me to get him information on beds for starters...types and prices (up to $17K) so i have a broad range to work with as far as base beds and a middle of the line upgrade i am thinking.

Where can i look? And what info do you all have to help me out if possible?

Your help is GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

SEARCH funtion...that will help you out probably the most. Otherwise all I can tell you is that $17K is not going to get you much...good luck!

I dont think she meant total, I think she meant for each bed.. IS that correct? Sportarredo is great equipment to choose from and is priced within your range.

Deffinately not total!!! Thats a pipe dream and even i know that He is thinking about 17k max per bed, give or take.

Ill continue using the search function, i just figured that maybe a post would narrow down my search a little

Oh okay, well then, that is a bit easier to play around with Is there any equipment your boss has personally used that impressed him? I know I would try any and all equipment that I am considering. If you have to believe in the service and product you are selling your customer. So definitely get online, expect some long nights of reading and researching this for him (hint: ask for a raise LOL) and get started. Some bed manufacturers you may want to look into are (Ergoline, UltraSun, Tan America, ETS, Sun Capsule, Dr.Kern, UWE, etc...the list is endless!)

Have fun and good luck!

Well i think i just might have to be the test dummy for the bed testing part...hey its a business expense!! He doesnt tan, but i do, so thats why i think he came to me. Not that i mind or anything...but you know. And i need a raise anyways, so maybe i can squeeze that in there with all the documentation on beds that i will be giving to him....just a thought!


Thanks for your advice
