Wholesale Tanning Beds


You want the best price on tanning beds for your salon, right?  Of course you do.  While there is no one "store", online or offline that has the lowest price --like a Wal-Mart for tanning beds-- there are a few purchasing options that will yield you the best deal.

Commercial Tanning Beds at a Discount -  A 6 Step How-To
  1. Determine the types of tanning beds your salon needs.  Let's say you have decided that you need one standup tanning booth and one higher-end face lamp bed.
  2. Now, investigate brands and features of those types of tanning systems and compare published prices and special offers.  Study well and know your stuff!
  3. Contact 3 sales reps and begin to negotiate.  NOTE: The idea here is NOT to pit one sales rep against the other and "force" the lowest offer.  Just be up front, let each rep know this is how you make your buying decision and ask them to see what they can do for you.
  4. Don't rush into a purchase.  This method takes time but it will get you the best price or terms on any tanning bed, whether its a commercial bed or for home use.
  5. Be flexible.  Sometimes the tanning bed rep can't meet the price of another distributor but can offer something else, like 0% financing or an extended warranty which, in effect, makes his deal better.
  6. Finally, once you have made your decision, call up that distributor and ask the final killer question: "Is that the best you can do?"  You may be surprised at what gets thrown in just before you seal the deal.

Commercial Tanning Bed Feature Options

For most salon owners, tanning bed technology advances so quickly that they find themselves behind the curve straining to keep up.  Here a simple help sheet that describes many of the hottest new (or not so new) features in Level 1 & Level 2 tanning beds.

360° Tanning

Our Velocity HP1000 is breaking new ground in tanning bed design.  No walls, just a beautiful open space.

Suspended Acrylics
This is another exclusive feature of the Velocity HP1000.  The suspended acrylic bed allows for a comfortably curved, ergonomic tanning experience.

Integrated Audio
We live in world where personal audio is a must have.  It is only natural for tanners to want to listen to their own music while tanning and many beds allow them to plug in their iPod --or mp3 player-- and listen without earphones getting in the way.

Shoulder Lamps
Only standup tan booths get that "absolutely everywhere" tan but many tanning beds are including shoulder lamps to take the horizontal tan to new areas.

All Metal Frame
A steady stream of customers, constant cleaning and regular maintenance sessions can a toll on tanning beds.  An all metal structure holds up to the abuse, last longer and makes the tanning bed nearly indestructible.

Omnilux™ Panels

The Omnilux medical grade rejuvenating panel offers both red and near-infrared light waves - clinically proven to show a 74% improvement in fine lines and wrinkles.***
