Why Stand Up Tanning Booths?
The most frequently asked question we receive from new tanning salon
owners is: "Why do I need to buy a stand up tanning booth?".
There are several key reasons why vertical tanners, both UV and
UV free, should be an integral part of every new salon or day
spa design. The main advantages of upright tanning are:
1.
MOST
POWERFUL IN
SALON:
Placing a lay
down tanning bed
in a vertical
position allows
equipment
manufacturers to
install very
powerful lamps
and more of them
due to the
ergonomic
wrap-around
design,
increased
airflow, and the
fact you are not
lying directly
on the
tanning
lamps.
Many stand up
models may
contain up to 60
of the 200-220
watt lamps in a
9 minute session
with more than
12,000 watts of
power working.
Compare this to
a level two 15
minute bed with
32 of the 100
watt bulbs,
which is only
3,200 watts of
power.
2.
MOST
HYGIENIC:
The vertical
tanners are
favored by gyms
and fitness
centers around
the USA because
of their low
maintenance
requirements and
because they are
"more hygienic".
That is to say
the customer may
wear shower
shoes or other
footwear that
normally would
not be worn in a
bed, where they
must fully
recline in a
sweaty position.
If tanning beds
are not
disinfected
properly, then
disease and
infection may
occur.
This problem is
eliminated with
standups.
3.
TANS AS
YOUR BODY FALLS:
In
addition to the
fact that you
get the most
powerful and
fastest tan with
tanning booths,
they also tan
you "as your
body falls".
This means, when
you lay down to
tan and your
body is pressed
against the
glass, weird
white lines
appear in the
cracks of your
body, which
become more
apparent when
you are
standing.
A stand up booth
will tan you
like you are
walking on the
beach or on a
cruise
ship....as your
body falls
naturally.
4.
BODY
ISOLATION
TANNING:
A negative side
of the tanning
bed is the fact
is is hard to
tan under your
arms or inside
your legs
without being a
contortionist.
Standups
eliminate this
problem by
placing straps
or handles
inside the booth
to hang your
arms on while
you are tanning.
This allows you
to place your
underarms, hips,
or other body
parts up to the
bulbs for a few
minutes for
"body isolation
tanning".
5.
LOWEST
MAINTENANCE
COST: Many
vertical tanning
models
manufactured
today are
produced with a
metal grid
covering the
lamps.
These grids are
good for a
life-time of use
without
requiring
cleaning or
replacing like
tanning bed
acrylics.
Also, you may
choose to
upgrade to
acrylic lamp
covers with many
models, like the
South Beach
line. New
electronic
ballasts allow
these powerful
units to be
operated on 30
and 40 amp
breakers,
reducing
electricity
costs forever.
6.
UV FREE
TANNING OPTIONS:
UV free
sunless spray tanning
booths are
quietly taking
the place of the
harmful UV
booths.
Mystic Tan and
Magic Tan are
the leaders in
the industry
with
introduction of
the new HD and
Versa Spa
models.
Expand your
business to
reach 100% of
the population
by adding a UV
free option to
your customers.
We offer
used spray tan
booths for sale
here and we
now offer
commercial
leasing
options for used
and
reconditioned
spray tanning
equipment.
7.
RED
LIGHT THERAPY
SESSIONS: 2016 has found many
salons and day
spas converting
old UV tanning
devices to
red light
therapy bulbs.
Red light
therapy reverses
the signs of
aging and makes
your skin
grow...creating
collagen.
