Oh I feel sorry for this person. All the ridicule about to come out of the tantalkers.

Do you have a budget for how much you plan on spending on equipment?

YucaTan · 08-30-2007, 05:42 PM

whatever I need to succeed.

Try to get a nice mix. I would do 5 levels with a high end 360HP bed. Dr. Mueller looks nice and tans aweseome for your middle levels. We have two stand ups with Cosmedico 9k90's they are very popular. We also recently added a magnumsun (less expensive) that's doing great on the same level as our standups so now they can lay or stand for level 2. We also have a HUGE hybrid Tanses 24/24 for level 4. Anyway we have 5 different manufacturers all bought new. It's nice way to know who you're going to do future business with.

Downtown Detroit.....OUCH
I would think again why there is no other tanning salon in this city thats made up of near 80% ethnic headcount.

I feel there are only 3 true tanning levels.
100 W
160 W
HP

I guess you can create as many levels as you want with different amounts of lamps and face lamps. But why confuse people? I offer just those three levels.

where would you fit a hybrid bed......would you sell it as HP
