Help me choose!

I'm thinking of switching salons. The current one I go to has older beds (all TanAmericas), and it is smaller and sometimes can't accomodate walk-ins. I've had to make an appointment to get into a base bed sometimes. The big upside to this salon is that it is very affordable. The staff is nice, they know me by name. I purchase tanning minutes for the base beds, and can buy upgrades when I want.

The other salon I visited today is bigger and has more locations so I can tan at one salon at home and a different one closer to work. The (Soltron) beds are newer and nicer looking. I've never used one, however. Naturally, this salon is much more expensive than my current one. The staff member there was explaining the different membership levels: there is a base bed only monthly membership and a VIP plus base bed monthly membership. All are unlimited use, HPs are available for additional fee.

I don't know what to do! Does cost outweigh performance? Opinions needed!

Hmmm I've been in that dilema! In the past I did stay with the "little salon" they sound just like yours and it was great in every way but it was hard to get in the beds and I got sick of making appointments.....in the end I went with the bigger salon and was happier and I didn't mind paying a little more...

But in your case I would try the bigger salon out and see how you like it.....its sounds like it would be nice and convient for you.
