My name is Rick Houston and as the owner of Salon Services, I specialize in "brokering" day spa and tanning salon equipment and have trademarked the "Tanning Bed Broker" concept and name.  I have offices and warehouses full of used tanning bedsthis is a photo of Rick Houston, author of How to Open a Tanning Salon from A to Z in 2012 located in Central Ohio and Central Florida and service clients throughout the US and Canada.  For more than 12 years I have been helping new tanning salon owners open their first salon or remodel an old one.  I recently updated my eBook, titled "How to Open a Tanning Salon from A to Z" for 2012, and created a few new marketing concepts, including all-inclusive-for-one price, new tanning salon equipment packages.  These packages were designed for new tanning salon owners with an empty shell and included the commercial tanning beds, tanning salon walls, and computer point of sale system with tanning salon software included! 

I now offer over 80 websites which help consumers buy and sell day spa and tanning salon supplies at wholesale prices directly from the Internet.  Choose from any of the menu items on the right to learn more about the tanning salon services or products I offer.  If you would like to "sell" your salon equipment, please email me here for a quote and my ideas on how to go about selling your stuff.  I typically charge a 10% broker fee or commission for selling your used tanning salon or day spa equipment like commercial tanning beds, water massage tables, and spray tan booths.  Scroll below to learn more about the various tanning salon services I offer:

A great example of a "automatic" spray tan booth is the Mystic Tan MyMyst model spray tan booth pictured here, which consists of a curved plastic shell in a tear drop shape with spray nozzles which mist or "fog" the customer with a DHA chemical which interacts with your dead skin layer to turn it brown.  The nozzle has a positive charge, similar to athis is a used mystic tan my mist in florida for sale powder coating spray paint gun, so when the formula is shot from the spray nozzle it carries a positive charge and seeks a "ground" through your body, which makes the "mist" attract to every inch of your exposed skin and evenly distributing the "chemical" over your body except where you applied "barrier cream".  These automatic spray tan booths are much more convenient and cost effective to operate but cost between $5,000 and $25,000 to purchase.

After evaluating the used spray tan booth market leading into 2012, I am recommending this model to my customers because of the great value versus price of these typically 4 year old models.  Additionally, this is by far the best Mystic Tan sunless tanning booth on the market today when equipped with the heaters and dryers. The word on the street is the number one customer complaint has been solved and customers are lining up for multiple weekly sessions and salon owners are ordering a second unit to handle the workload.  You can expect to pay $28k for a new one and $14k to $18k for a used one only a few years old WITH the HD option.   Click here to view used Mystic Tan MyMyst models for sale.
