Advice on HP and competition

We're getting ready to build a new building (about a block down the road from our current rental space) We'll have twice as much space and I'm trying to figure out what to fill it with. I would really like to purchase a 360 HP as there is only one salon in our town that even has HP. We're across the street from the college campus but would obviously love to have more than just college students tanning in our salon. I'm just trying to figure out if we should invest in a HP bed or a really nice VHR. Any suggestions?

Re: Advice on HP and competition

Almost all salon owners on here that have HP units will tell you that is where the money is at. Yes, they are more expensive that a VHR and they cost more to run and relamp. But you make a lot more off of them.

HP will work anywhere and will bring people from everywhere to try it. You jsut have to be taught on how to market it.

Re: Advice on HP and competition

I would get a full HP if it's within your budget. We're the only ones around here with a full HP laydown bed and we use that to our advantage. It's been an excellent investment.

Do college kids spend the money on HP?

Re: Advice on HP and competition

If you are building a...er building then you BETTER be going ALL OUT in terms of equipment.

Don't fill that place with sunvision nonsense.

Our top client for the year is a freshman in a college that is 45 mins from here. She only does the matrix or THP and buys bottles of darkside tingle.
