My name is Rick Houston and this is the page where you learn about my background:  I was born in Central Ohio, but raised in Central Florida and currently residethis is a photo of Rick Houston, author of How to Open a Tanning Salon from A to Z in 2012 in both, depending on the weather.  I graduated from Boone High School in the 80's and shortly therafter joined the US Navy's Nuclear Power Program where I spent 6 years as an Electronic Technician/Nuclear Reactor Operator on aircraft carriers.  During my military career I spent time on the USS Enterprise out of San Francisco and pre-commissioned the USS Abraham Lincoln in Newport News, Virginia.  After my military service I worked for Disney's Reedy Creek Energy plant as a SCADA Tech before launching a career as a stock broker for Prudential Securities and others.  From there I worked for www.advertising.com in the very early startup phase which has led me to own and operate an Internet marketing company focusing on tanning salon and day spa products.

For over 12 years I have been helping new tanning salon owners open their first salon or remodel an old one through my network of websites you can find listed here.  I recently updated my eBook titled "How to Open a Tanning Salon from A to Z" for 2012 to help new salon owners navigate these difficult times.  I can now offer you "used tanning salon packages" which are designed for new tanning salon owners with an empty shell and include the commercial tanning beds, tanning salon walls, and computer point of sale system with tanning salon software!  And you only pay about .20 cents on the dollar for this barely used tanning salon equipment to open a new salon in 2012 at a fraction of the cost in 2006.  Contact Rick Houston below:

We once were formally known as the "Sunal" Tanning Bed company and own the rights to the name and design of this 25+ year old brand. We have been in the manufacturing business for over 20 years at the same location and are the last of the "old school" all welded solid steel tanning bed manufacturers. 

We are the ONLY tanning bed manufacturer who still provides parts for tanning equipment which is over 20 years old!  That's right, many of our competitors only offer parts for beds less than 5 years old!  After that, you are on your own...not us.  If you are looking for tanning bed parts for Sunal tanning beds built from 1985 to date, then please visit our new website:  www.sunalparts.com for tanning bed parts for Sunal and many other types of tanning beds.

If the tanning beds look familiar, it's because they are. In 1996, we bought the rights to the Sunal name and brand and moved the manufacturing facilities to Central Florida. The first generation of indoor tanning beds our factory built were called "Perfect Tan" while the latest generation is called "Tropical Rayz"!

Sunal tanning beds can be found today at a tanning salon near you...a testament to the strength and durability of an all-steel constructed tanning bed. We also carry replacement parts for every Sunal brand of tanning bed; including acrylics, shocks, and lamps.
