KBLs can be wired single or three phase, You just have to move a couple of jumpers. I can deliver and install also.

adding a HP bed really distinquishes yourself from any competitor without one...any nice VHR bed...really does'nt. like in my case...i can say i am the only salon in the area...with HP units.

I have found that being the only one in town with true full HP, makes it more difficult to sell. Most of my competition tell their clients that facials equal HP. I have tried to educate my clients, but most are used to instant gratification, not a little now and more latter! I hope this helps.
