Equipment Mix

OK…so here is the deal. I’m in the process of acquiring a successful existing salon with older equipment and one of my first priorities is to do a mini salon remodel, including replacing an older Ultrabronze 818 Eclipse with a newer Ergoline 600 bed. Current equipment is the Ultrabronze 818 Eclipse, Dr. Kern 5012, Puretan Aruba, Sunsport 2021, Saturn Stand Up, Mystic Spray System, Classic Legs HL 38 Leg Tanner and a Formostar body wrap. I’m hoping the addition of a 12 minute bed will increase turnaround time and allow more sessions to generate more income. Additionally I think people are in such a hurry that having a fasted bed will be an asset.

Where can I go to find a good replacement bed for a good price? I see some listed on this forum but most are located back east & would cost a small fortune to ship to southern California. I also plan to eliminate the body wrap to make room to expand the lobby area to include a boutique with some accessories /clothing/ sunglasses/jewelry etc. Is there a place to list the Formostar for sale? Has anyone out there had success with the boutique offerings?

Any thoughts?

You can use the for sale forum here to sell the Formostar.

First, your switching out a totally different type of tanning unit.

I would look into how popular the units are with the customers there and replace with similar but faster tan time units.
