Ergoline??????

RyanLA · 05-15-2007, 01:46 AM

I need some advise bad!!!
I am opening my first salon and want to do it right. Im hearing Ergoline is the way to go...Ive been talking with the Ergoline rep as well as reading ergoline pricing posts here on tan talk and the reps prices are outrageous compared to what everyone is saying the beds cost. how much negotiation room is there with the bed reps?
Can someone lend me a hand here please and let me know how I can get these beds cheaper or if there are better beds out there for the money?
IM also concerned on what beds are most popular with customers because the popular beds is whats going to get people in the door.
All my friends say they use the orbit for instance ...

Thank you all

Ryan, you need to shop around. There are plenty of good quality bed manufacturers around.

What does the closest competitor have?

Look into these
UWE
AUVL
Ultrasun

At least you can get some competitive quotes & beat up Ergoline.

Yes, by all means, get some other quotes. Ergoline has well over a 50% markup on their equipment. The off-season is the time to get some super deals. this is it!

Ergoline is pretty poop.

anyone have any questions?

It's to late to open a salon this season. So wait about three months and you can get some great deals on used beds, about 3 to 5 years old, at about a third of the price of new beds. If I was going to open a new salon I would open in December. This will give you time to figure out how every thing works just before season hits.

Good Luck

Yes ^^ a few dozen more salons will have gone belly up by then.

Awsome!!! Glad I asked here for advice before I went out and over paid! I was thinking in the back of my head good used beds 1-2 years old.
I plan on oening in Nov- Dec so timing would be great to probably get a deal on some beds.
Is ergoline reputable? Is it top of the line? also what beds are popular with the tanners?
im going to check UWE and some other companies.
What companies do I just not consider?

Thanks guys

I really like Ergoline, but agree that they are overpriced. We've got some good second hand Ergolines, very happy with them.

Really? now is there any type of valid warranty when you buy used? matinence etc...?
What model ergoline did u get?
