People around here are not going to pay for an HP
Trust me Aloha, HP will work in your town. I live in a town of 14,000 people, thats it. Income level is below poverty.( in addition 50% of population is elderly who do not tan) I use to think my customers would never pay that price for HP or expensive lotions. I brought in a ultrabronze 818 ( for cheap, you can do this too) and wow. If you know how to sell it, they will pay for it. My bed is booked solid now! slow season! My sales are increasing by leaps and bounds. I need another 2 hp units NOW! NEVER EVER underestimate your clients. You limit yourself this way. Trust me, I use to do it with lotions. NO MORE. I discovered even welfare clients will buy an expensive lotion if you present it to them.

As far as chinese running a salon, no offence to them, but they can often make people feel uncomfortable,(do to a lack of understanding i'm sure, not intentional) and in alot of cases people avoid contact with them only because its hard to understand them. In business often they tend to be too pushy.
