STARTING NEW, WANNA PULL MY HAIR OUT

Hello All, I am in the process of opening a tanning salon. I have a low budget and am going insane trying to find the best deals. I don't want to sacrifice quality for quanity and would rather have 1 good bed then 3 mediocre ones. Does anyone have any tips for me? I've notice by 1 get 1 or buy 1 get 2 sales with Ergoline and Soltron...How do I orderder my lotions. I've heard nightmares about distributors, should I order direct? I'd love to get advice from those of you who have gone through this yourselves instead of reading a tutorial. Thank you!

I use FourSeasons for product and salon supplies.
They are great and I have not one singe complaint.
Ergoline beds are great, if you have to budget for them, go ahead and get some, THEY ARE SHOWSTOPPERS. We have Ergoline and are doing great.

Re: STARTING NEW, WANNA PULL MY HAIR OUT

Thank you for your response. I was on the Fourseasons site earlier today and requested info. Glad to know they work for you. How does it work? You get in touch with a rep and then you tell them what you want? Can you give me a little insight into what to expect? Thank you again.

Re: STARTING NEW, WANNA PULL MY HAIR OUT

I sent you a PM Jahzlene (to get your PM's, look in the upper right corner where it says "Welcome Jahzlene" and you can click on where it says "Your notifications").

Since it appears you just joined the site today, if you haven't already dug in and started reading, do that first! Lots of great information here already that will apply. Start in the "newbie forum" and begin with the "sticky" posts (at the top of each forum).

Welcome Jahzlene!

Lots of good info here at Tantalk. If you are on a budget go used. Save over 50% of the price of new. SunSally is a good source and there are some others here as well. Have you signed a lease yet? How far along are you?

Re: STARTING NEW, WANNA PULL MY HAIR OUT

I have not signed a lease yet, the landlord had me meet with his contractor to go over a build-out plan. It's a 1300+ sqft place. Right now each room is 8x8. Is that big enough?
