Puretan beds are pretty much the best beds on the market, the are affordable and the warranties that you can't get through any other company. Try like a 36 month warranty. Also I would be able to help you save money on building contracts and permits. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks.

We use Ergoline Equipoment in our Store. The results speak for them selve, and the equipment looks great.

burton,

if you plan on opening a salon 'soon' means in the next 3 or 4 months, you will be opening during the height of the slow season. dude, you got to learn that tanning is a very seasonal business. don't open during the slowest time of the year. don't depend solely on tanning. diversify. location, location, location. know your market, know your competitors, develop a concept that sets you apart, get the best equipment you can afford, plan, plan, plan. i hope that this helps.

I wouldn't use tan american OR ergoline. Both are counterproductive to actually making money. They LOOK good...

crap I have both I AM DOOMED.

well, not exactly...if you have actual skills in your business, you'll do fine...as long as you don't have a lease that's $15K/month and plan on making $500K/year based on the distributor's figures.

oh no I only have one lease, and its on an Ambition 300 so I am good to go right?
