Default Residential Tanning Beds

Hi everyone I'm new to this place and i have a question. My family wants to buy a tanning bed for our house but we don't know what to get. Our budget is $3000. We want to buy one for ourselves because we live in a small town and the only tanning place in town is really crappy. And we don't want to drive 30+ miles to a good place. Thanks

The place in your town is probably crappy because they have $3000 beds.

You aren't going to find an outstanding piece of brand new piece of equipment for 3k.

I suggest you look for something used.

For 3 grand, you're going to get a crappy bed like your local salon has.

Now... not trying to be rude, but this site is for salon owners. I can't speak for everyone here, but me, as a professional, I look at quality equipment. My "cheap" beds are $10,000 and my flagship beds are $55,000. I don't know of any GOOD beds even if they are not fancy, that sell for 3k or less.

My suggestion is to look on the "for sale" section of this forum and find something used for around that price range.

32 lamp Tan America beds I have seen for close to thet price JFYI

You're right. I know nothing about tanning equipment or cheap ass trolls who ask for help and then pitch a fit when they get what they were asking for.

Now, kindly leave our site...as previously mentioned it is for SALON OWNERS....not foul-mouthed kids playing on the internet without a clue or a dollar to buy one.

Well no wonder the local salon has crappy beds with cracked acrylic
with customers like that, they probably use cheap lotion in the salons beds and destroy everything they put in.
