You will also want to consider whether or not you want multiple beds of the same type or a variety of beds. A variety will usually attract more clients, as no two people are the same in their tanning tastes.

You will also want to determine what you can afford to spend before you start your search for commercial tanning beds. Some of the most competitive brands include SunScape, SolarForce, StarPower, Sunster, SunVision, SunScape, Solaris, Rejuvasun, and VersaSpa. Each of these offer high-quality beds with high out-put and long lasting warranties. Different brands offer different beds at more affordable prices. Many companies will offer financing and a variety of payment options.

Somer companies offer consultations on the layout of your store. They will analyze your space and suggest ways to ensure that your space will yield the maximum earnings.

Some companies offer commercial tanning salon operate-key packages. One example of a package offered by Tanning Online is as follows. It includes six commercial tanning beds in your choice of colors. The six beds are two twenty minute beds, two fifteen minute mid-level beds, and two ten minute turbo, super, bronzing, or high intensity units in either stand up or lay down versions. This allows you to develop a pricing menu that has three tiers, and three ways to buy, per session, per ten sessions, or unlimited. You will also get six tanning booth walls, a corporate identity and logo design package, wireless remote timing system, a tanning salon system (which is computer operated POS) with touch screen, internal and external cooling fans, pillows for the beds, membership and liability waivers, sanitized bed signs, tanning bed danger signs, interactive medicine signs, goggle tank, goggle disinfectant, tanning goggles, tanning bed sanitizer, tanning tattoo stickers, UV light meter, e-book on tutorial of opening a tanning salon, and buck boosters to operate voltage. This package is $44, 000, with 20% deposit required to place the order and the rest due at delivery. They also offer commercial tanning beds in packages starting at two beds for $7,600. They have leasing options as well, if that is an alternative you are considering.

Other sites to find commercial tanning beds include, but are not limited to, Amazon, ebay, bizrate, and elstan. Many high quality tanning beds can be found through these, and other similar, sites. Also, you can purchase them directly through many distributors of commercial tanning beds.

Do not forget to consider salons that are going out of business or upgrading their beds. Occasionally you can purchase their beds at a reduced price, saving you on your start up costs. You can always resell the beds later, when you have a steady income coming in and want to upgrade your beds. Usually the used beds will be in working order. It is a cheaper option than to buy new ones, saving you money that you can used for accessories that you will need in your salon.
