Neon, that is the price regardless of time, but that is also the single visit price. People with packages can upgrade from base to booth for the $4 difference each time they change units, also regardless of time.

you can put in your numbers but for me a booth is; 500 bulb hours x 6 max sessions/hour x $9 single visit = $27000/set of bulbs, compared to base bed 750 x 3 x $5 = $11250,
With those figures, I wish! Are you charging that price despite how long the session is?

I get it now. I would be shot and hanged if I charged $9 regardless of time used. People will give you that for a 2 minute session? Lucky. I wish.

Here's what I do.

500 hours x (60 minutes per hour) = 30000 minutes x $1.10 per minute = $33,000

4 - 5 minutes is usually the minimum, and they are the ones on a package so it costs them $4 for the upgrade. The single visit clients usually go the max 10 min.

Ahhhh, why are you tanning people for 2minutes? I charge 7,8,10,12 for my single visits and that's JUST TO TURN IT ON. If it only takes 2 minutes to get your tan on then that means you have a "SUPER BOOTH" that should cost a WHOLE LOT MORE than $9.

"Ahhhh, why are you tanning people for 2minutes?"

I don't put beginners in the Dazzler for the max, that's for sure. 2 - 4 minutes for them.

We have a stand up that is a true 200watt, head to toe. Very reasonalbe! Doesn't matter how big or small you are. Your clients are in and out in 8 minutes max! I know that some people just want to lay down and rest. For the on the go Mom for instance this is quicker. Most of our clients go back and forth. stand-up then laydown. Good Luck.

I use to tan in Sundashes stand-up and liked it. I actually like it better than the one we ended up buying. I liked that it was oval and had poles to hold onto instead of handles up above. Very roomy. But then I heard that it had a short and part of it melted, so I'm not sure if they're prone to that or if was a salon fluke.

Because of our big laydowns with shorter tan times than our stand-up it got pretty neglected. We had to put it on special to get people using it.
