Replacing Level 1 beds

I have 3 older 20 minute beds and I am thinking of replacing them with three Sunstar 332-3F's. They are 2005 models and they are asking $2400 per bed. Is it worth it to buy them or should I completely abandon the 20 minute beds and go to strictly 15 minutes or less beds? Ideas... Suggestions... Thanks

Re: Replacing Level 1 beds

Well you can follow the market or lead.

Bed times are a weird thing though. Forget what you or I know. Most customers think less time = more powerful. Some dont. And some just want 20 minutes, heck they would take 40 if they could since they are there to relax.

So if your market is strong with competition and fine salons I would say 15 minutes for sure. If your in a smaller market, it may not matter and you may want to look at ROI instead.

By the way I found a thread with two Solaris 442 (42 lamp, 2004 model year) in CO for the same price, $2,500 each. PM me and I will shoot ya a link.

I upgraded my base beds and went with 12 minute beds and my customers say they would never go back in a 20 minute bed!

Great beds and a great deal...but I would beat him up a bit on the price. Atleast give Rob a hard time and make him earn his money!!!! I have bought beds off him for YEARS...definately a good guy to deal with!!!
