Booths - tanTALK

BooBop · 09-16-2002, 10:41 PM

What are some of the best booths out today? Not only tan wise, but compared to the $ amount.

Is it best to get booths with the dressing room added on, or put them in a room like the other beds?

I would like about a 10 min. session.

Well, personaly, I believe that the booths that tanning salons put outside of the rooms, with the dressing rooms are not as nice "looking" as the booths that have their own rooms...As a tanner, i wouldn't like to see booths standing around the lobby..heheh.

The 12 minute UltraSun Power Tower is going for $17,995.00. WOWOWO This is a very nice booth, and tans "ME" really well. The Sun garden has it, and I just luv it! it has 60 180-WATT reflector lamps .

The Sonnenbraune Diva Tower has a max session time of 9 minutes using 48 180watt refelctor lamps.
Sorry, don't know about the price.

The Hex 2 is $8142.00. It uses 46 reflector lamps, and has a tanning time of 8 to 10 minutes.

Just wanted to give you some ideas....

luv

We have SunCapsule 10 minute booths. They are the ones with the dressing rooms attached, and as far as appearance the look nice standing in the lobby. But they do not get used alot. I really feel that if they were in a room where the client would have more space and not be right in the lobby they would get used more.

Thanks you two, keep em coming people. I want lots of comments before I step in it I have an older booth now that doesn't get a whole lot of traffic. But it isn't VHR and standing mins. is way to long.

I have Tan America's standup with the high pressure facials. I have it in it's own room but their boothes look better than most also.

Tanses TT series 40, 45, 50, or 55 lamp in 100 watt or 160 watt (185 watt if you up the voltage) and Hybrid 100 or 160 watt/HP combination type are all metal for long long long life, good looking, exhaust correct, and because they are purchased from Canada you not only benefit from a 62% dollar difference, there is also the free trade no 16% duty from Europe to contend with.

European systems are not really better... they're just a helluvalot more expensive!!!!(AND THEIR HIGH EXPENSE COMES FROM DOLLAR EXCHANGE, SHIPPING, DUTIES AND LOTS OF MIDDLEMEN.... SO WHERE DOES YOUR MONEY GO????)

BooBop · 09-17-2002, 12:00 PM

Well now, that is some food for thought Mori. Thanks I have always heard good things about Tanses. I will keep you in mine.

When it comes to tanning booth's, in MY OPINION there's only 1 worth considering......

It has to not exceed a 9 minute session, because clients don't want to stand in a small enclosed area for much longer than that. It has to be VHR, to get the results you expect in a short tanning session. It has to have 60 lamps, to provide the internal space a big bruser guy will want. It has to be simple to maintain, with a single fan overhead. It has to move enough air, to keep the client cool from head to toe throughout the tanning session. It has to be attractive, so it can sit out in the middle of the salon to GRAB potential clients attention. It has to come with it's own change room, so you don't have to hide it in a built out room. It has to be fitted with proven technology to endure the work for the long haul. Now what booth have I just described???

Oh yeah, to make it more appealing, make it look like it's in the middle of a garden. Put some greenery around it, maybe a banana, or palm tree, or potted plants. Put some hanging plant's on the top, or side of it. Use your imagination!!! Make your SunCapsule the center of your business. It will produce twice the income of a standard bed. I know, I've done it!!!

bsmart, that is an awesome idea for decorating.

I have a space i could set one w/attached dressing room and that would really kick buttt with the plants just off the lobby area.

Oh so much I want and so little space and $.... Why wasn't I born rich instead of so darn cute

Hey Melty...
How much did they charge for a session in the Power Tower? I was looking into this booth but have never heard anyone else say much about it?

Thanks
Christina
