Tanning Bed Supplies

If you are opening up a tanning business or are currently a tanning salon owner, you should consider the tanning bed supplies you will need to buy. As a tanning bed owner, you will have to purchase the necessary supplies to keep your tanning bed running smoothly. This article will illustrate the tanning bed supplies needed to buy.

If you still have to purchase a tanning bed, make sure you purchase one that is efficient and cost-effective in its production. In this way, you will be able to keep the tanning bed longer before it needs to be serviced.

For your tanning bed supplies, you will need to buy a good tanning bed lotion. Tanning bed lotions are a great way to add moisture to the skin and help perfect your tan.

For safety reasons, another important tanning bed supply is safety goggles. These goggles will protect your eyes form the harmful ultraviolet light rays. The eyes should be covered when within the tanning bed.

A tanning bed pillow or headrest is also a useful tanning supply to purchase. It is useful for horizontal tanning beds if you want your customers to be comfortable while inside the tanning bed.

A good tanning salon should have tanning bed bulbs in stock. It is best to stock up on these, especially if you are running a busy tanning salon. The last thing you would want would be that the tanning bulb would go out with a customer and not have a replacement bulb to continue the session.


Tanning beds are also outfitted with acrylics, which are plastic planks that the customers will lie on. If these become cracked for any reason, then you should have an acrylic to replace it.

Other important tanning bed supplies include 'starters' and ballasts'. A 'starter' is an electronic device that powers the tanning bed bulb. They are absolutely necessary to have more than one of these in stock. 'Ballasts' supply the power to the bulb as well. The 'starters' and 'ballasts' should always have a ready supply within your salon's storage space. If the customer is in the process of receiving a tan, and the 'starter' or 'ballast' die, then your business will lose money. It is quite handy to have replacements.

Other miscellaneous tanning bed supply items include, bed body decals, cleaners, paper towels, gloves, and fresh bath towels. It must be kept in mind that you are running a business and having replacement supplies is a great idea. If something is not available to make the tanning bed work, your business will lose money by the hour.
