Commercial Tanning Beds

If you hope to get into the commercial tanning beds business, where customers come to your location to tan, you will need quality tanning beds. Commercial tanning beds are not cheap, and it is important that you choose top of the line beds that your customers will be satisfied with, and that will last you for years to come. It is also important that you maintain the beds to help them have a longer life span.

Wolff tanning beds seem to be the tanning beds of choice for commercial use. They are also the most expensive. However, when you look at the quality of the beds, and the life span of a properly maintained Wolff tanning bed, you will find that the expense is well worth it. Wolff offers tanning systems that suit a variety of needs and since each of your customers will want something different, it may be worth it to invest in different types of tanning systems.

For example, some of your clients may want to tan in beds where they lie down, while others will want to tan in the newer tanning systems where they stand up – for a more even tan. These tanning beds can cost up to $15,000 each and you while you can start your tanning business with just one bed, at least two are recommended.

If you use the older type of bed, where the client lies down to tan, you will also need to invest in a face tanner. Facial tanning cannot be done in a typical tanning bed. Failure to offer your clients a way to tan their face as well will cause you to lose business! The good news is that top of the line facial tanning units can usually be purchased for around $200.

Even though commercial tanning beds are quite expensive, you can easily recoup these costs with tanning session fees and by selling tanning bed lotions. If tanning salons are not common in your area, you can expect to make a great deal of money from your tanning bed business.
