Opening in August

Desert Tan · 06-12-2005, 11:17 AM

I need your advice. I'm opening up a salon in August but I know that it is the wrong time to open. It a brand new shopping center and I had to jump on the space before anyone else did. Come to find out that 2 other people wanted to put in a tanning salon there. There will be a nail salon, hair salon, dry cleaner, video store, Cold Stone(ice cream store) and Quizznos. It is in a very upscale area where the homes price minimum is $400,000. How do you think I would do with a ten bed salon that has: 3-20 min Tan Americas Santa Barbara, 2-15 min Ergoline Ambition 300, 1-Ergoline Avantgarde 600, 1-Matrix L58, 1 Matrix L33, 1-Sundash Radius 252 Standup and a Mystic? I know that I have 2 high pressure units but everyone here uses them and they have the money to pay for it. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Sounds good. I have a salon in a high income area with the same two hp units....
I would look at the S class as well...I like that bed in high income areas with the missting and aromatherapy..

I've heard that there are a lot of problems with the S Class misters. That they always break or get clogged up.

I also have a similar set up. Does anyone have any suggestions on EFT's for this setup? My base bed EFT will be $18.99.

How would have a problem with the misters....its water? Unless they were not putting the proper distilled water in it...

My only suggestion to you might be to re-think the 252 Radius and the L58. You just don't see any good reports on the Radius and a lot are for sale. The L58, even though it's low pressure, might get confused with the L33. You could have a problem selling sessions on this unit when you also have the Ergoline Avantgarde. I think you need do a little more research on your mix of equipment. Just my opinion, thanks.

I agree a check on your mix. But don't take the L-58 out of it. This is a great unit.

what is a radius?

mr belvedere · 06-13-2005, 09:32 PM

Radius: Sun Dash Radius 252 medium pressure stand-up from Ergoline.
