big bear bed, anyone?

[javagirl]

Has anyone ever used a HP bed called BIG BEAR? I visited another salon today, and the girl raved about it.I'm not sure who makes it. Also do you know how it might compare to the bed I currently use, Tanses 52 (160watt) bulbs,w/ face tanner? I just want to see if it would be worth the money to use this bed as well.

Your very welcome No maybe you should keep that 15 $ and try to find a HP bed There is a place here too that we called and they said thay had a HP bed, when i went there for a tour, it was a vhr bed, she argued with me that it WAS SO hi Pressure.. I walked out.. whatever LOL

[javagirl]

That is so weird, I've had several places tell me theyv'e got High pressure beds when they don't. Maybe the owners tell these girls they are high pressure..and they are just parroting.....oh I think i am going to get a lot of you know what for that.

I went in one that has the facials all on the top and regular bulbs on the bottom is that considered hp?

[boobrandt]

The one I just got off of (hotter than **** in august) has facial bulbs all over the top (20 of them), and I lost count of how many bulbs (I'm sorry, lamps!) underneath me. The ones underneath were 160 watts each, I think there were about 30+ of them. They consider it high pressure. If it isn't hp, I'm not sure I want to try hp! It was so hot that I actually covered my face with my hands a couple of times!

I like the big bear. I think that it gives you good color. We currently have two in our biggest salon. They are very nice.

[MoraBella30]

the beds you are talking about ( the HP) on top 160 on botton, those are refereed to as Hybrid beds, yes they are Hp 1/2
My salon had one of those it was called tge sunterrace 2 They got rid of it and got a 360degree HP the matrix.

[texsun tanned]

Which one do you like better?

[MoraBella30]

definalty the all around HP type ( the matrix) no question

My salon just got a Big Bear today. I saw the sign when I came out, but the girl was busy so I didn't ask about it. I'm every curious about it. They called it their level 4 bed. Right now their level 1 is Tropicals, level 2 is Montego Bay, and level 3 is Viper. They have all UWE beds.
