Type and number of beds - tanTALK

kzoganas · 07-11-2003, 07:52 PM

I looking to startup a tanning salon and in the process of doing my due diligence. I've heard different things but what is the rule of thumb regarding number of Level 1, 2, 3 beds and does anyone have a good starting point in terms of what brand to get. based on my intial research and the fact that I am looking to start a 7-10 bed salon I was thinking to go with either of the following types: Sungate, Silver Bullet (UWE,), Dr. Mueller, Sontegra, Tan America, or Sonnebraun beds. And as far as the mix between levels, maybe (2) level 3, (3)Level 2, (3)Level 1, and one or two Standups (Hexs'?). Any advice even if its different from my own opinion is certainly appreciated by this newbie, but I do intend to check out each of these types of beds on my own as well.
Thanks

i would say get about 4 base beds 1 standup and at least 1 HP lay down which equipment you go with im sure is a matter of which one you like the best

Hey bucs thanks for the advise, sounds like the mix should be 25% HP or level 3 to 75% base beds?

Go with a Heartland Tan Sundazzler for a standup or their 2 meter booth. Work real well.
