What are some good Beds

Hello All,
I am working on opening up my first salon. I am now looking at what brand of beds to buy and cant make a decsion. My salon will have 5 to 7 beds and havent decided if a stand up will be bought or not. What brands do you recommend and what levels do you all think are optimal. Thanks for the help.

Re: What are some good Beds

5 to 7 units doesn't give you much working room for "levels".

Depending on your budget: UWE, Ergoline, Sportarredo, Heartland, and so on.

Re: What are some good Beds

Suncapsule does NOT s u c k. I have the Super Cyclone...it is a great unit. Low maintainence, 8 minutes (6 ppl/hour...for a 5-7 unit salon you certainly only need one), GREAT color. My clients love it.

I'm looking at Tan America beds right now. I've heard nothing but great things about their beds....last a long long time. My Sundash base beds are looking a little worn, but they are the best as far as results so I am torn about replacing them..

I also have a UWE unit....I think these are great beds also.

Re: What are some good Beds

I have all UWE and love them, but...I can't give an opinion for others because I don't have or even tanned in them. Everyone is going to tell you the beds they "own" are the best. Go out and tan in them and that may help you decide more.

Re: What are some good Beds

Check out your competition! Tan around! We have ultra sun equipment and are happy with them! I agree with CAYENNE...

Re: What are some good Beds

Oops... everyone is going to say their beds are the best, because that is what is working for them right now. And you should tan in different beds to see what you like personally...
