what would you charge per session or for groups of sessions?

my mouth fell open at the price of the unit. I was expecting a couple grand, not 30k!

I have one for tanning, my partner has one for hair.

Since the machine is not administed by a tech. there is no need for a license.

Matthew - 10 miles or so, about a 20-25 min. drive across town.

I am selling my system that I purchased in November. I paid 30k and it has only been used a couple of times. I am asking 25k or best offer.

Thumbs up

Check out the pre-Oscar show on Sunday night. I hear there is going to be a segment on a salon in Hollywood that has a Lumiere and they cater to the elite and a lot of stars. I also saw a full page ad in the Looking Fit this month.

I would like to see before and after pics of the customers. Is it just making their face look puffy and the wrinkles are spreading out this way or is it really helping with the skin

Sorry I have been gone so long. Nice name HOT!, fitting since your in FL

I am loving this machine, we have had a 100% success rate with our customers and do $1000.00 days. If someone is good at posting pics, I can send them via e-mail to be posted. We are starting to franchise our concept salon, if you are interested please e-mail me direct. I DO NOT think that these machines belong in tanning salons. 80% of our clientel would not even step into a tanning salon.

(side note) I do not think people involved in the tanning industry know how much people are afraid of sun/tanning light, and light in general. I hope the recent uproar of Vit D and other bennys help to change that. I say we need to get more agressive at shuting down negative press (lawsuits) as we now have proof.

BTW, our francises will be pro-owner.

We just switched servers and are down untill 03-02-05
Thank you.

House of Tan, I thought I was the only one

Where are you located House of Tan? Do you have more than one machine? Is it in a tanning salon now? I have lots of questions about a piece of equipment that is making $1000 a day.

"Where are you located House of Tan?"
IN

"Do you have more than one machine?"
We built the salon out for 4 machines, we only have one right now.

"Is it in a tanning salon now?"
Nope, the other side of town.

"I have lots of questions about a piece of equipment that is making $1000 a day."
I bet you do

You know, I just about gave away some info.

PM me for more.


Marster37 -

I will try to get the pics to you tonight, but I may need the help of our general manager. Belive it or not, I have never worked a day in this salon. I know what I am doing, except for the software we use for storeing pictures.
