Salon Testimonials

Don't take our word for it, here's what our customers think!

Christine & Darcy, Under the Sun in Oakdale, MN

Christine and Darcy with a ProSun bed

Thanks to everyone at ProSun! These people not only know what they are talking about, they want you to be successful from the start. When we began talking about opening a salon 3 years ago, we contacted them. ProSun helped us to really understand the details, not only of the beds, but of the whole start-up process. They patiently answered our 20 or so calls per day and were always happy to speak directly with our electricians or builders. When the time came for installation, ProSun sent out a technician to do the actual hook-up – something that would have taken us a week or more on our own – but with his help was done in 3 days. Everything went smoothly. It's now been 2 ½ years and, every once in a while, we come up with a new question. We give ProSun a call and they are always there to help. ProSun = Great beds and service, service, service. Again, thank you to everyone!”

Jane and Susi, Envy Tanning & Rejuvenation Studio in Casper, MY

Envy Tanning and Rejuvenation Studio would not be what it is today if it weren't for the people at ProSun. Especially Jennifer Doing. We shopped the market and were so impressed with ProSun. Jennifer wasn't a high pressure salesperson. She truly cared what we needed, what would work in our demographic area and where we wanted to be down the road. We live in a small western town so high end beds just were not something that would "fly" around here. Instead of insisting that is where the money is, Jennifer outlined a series of beds for us, with room for expansion in the future. We have become good friends with a few of the people at ProSun - and they still like us even after they got our money!! That says volumes to us!

“The support we have gotten and continue to get from ProSun is outstanding. Our questions have been answered quickly and accurately AND they don't make us feel like complete dummies if we don't know something! Our beds are amazing! We have 4 Onyx, 2 X5 Rejuvenation beds, a Norvell Airbrush unit (that people are RAVING about - no orange color!!) and a teeth whitening unit. The beds our superior to our market, but cost efficient for our clients. You can't go wrong with ProSun!!! Relax ~ Enjoy ~ Rejuvenate!"

Jackie Johnson & Elma Washington, Haus of Hair and Tanning

Thanks to ProSun my business is doing very well. I started talking to them about a year ago about their beds. I had many questions and they always had the answers. In March 2009 I purchased two Onyx beds with Red light collagen lamp phototherapy. I can’t say enough about them, they are amazing. My clients love them. I have over 100 customers tanning and still growing. My salon is in a very small community, so 100 tanners is great ! Thank you so much ProSun for making my whole experience a great one! I’m looking forward in doing business with you in the future!"

Brian De Mint, Perfect Tan in Temecula, CA

Our experience with ProSun is amazing! Our beds are on such a different level from our competitors. Business is very competitive in our area and having superior beds is a HUGE plus. We can do anything we want to promote ourselves but without the beds to back it up our business wouldn't be as steady as it is.

“ProSun was so helpful throughout the entire process of opening our salon. Everyone from the sales department to the service department was always just a phone call or e-mail away and ready to help. We were in a time crunch to open our salon and the people at ProSun were up to the challenge and helped get us open.

“There's no questions that ProSun is the best company that we could have worked with. From price to quality to customer service, they are the best. At Perfect Tan we look forward to a lasting business relationship with ProSun and it's people.”

Mary Lou Callihan, Hydra Tan in Porter, TX

My Name is Mary Callihan and I am the proud owner of Hydra Tan located in the wonderful city of Porter, Texas. I was a total rookie going into the process of figuring out what equipment to populate my shop with. I went to many sites and got lots of info. After all was said and done, I chose ProSun. They are the most wonderful people to work with. I never felt stupid even though I'm sure I sounded stupid with some of my questions. The whole experience was so easy and so informative. I was given lots of information that I'm sure was not even their responsibility to share with me. They delivery and installation were awesome. After it was all over and I was up and running, they still call and check in on me and ask if there is anything I need. There is service after teh sale. I feel like I have been dealt with fairly and honestly and will most definitely use them again and refer anyone to them.

“And the beds... Let me tell you, my customers love the beds. I love the beds. I have a beautiful tan, and so do all of my clients. ProSun is the best!”

Brandi N. Mosley, TANtalize Tanning Studio

Before I decided to open TANtalize Tanning Studio, there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted ProSun equipment. When I first entered the industry I was working for a salon that used ProSun beds. I clearly remember the first time I layed in a ProSun bed and I was amazed by how fast I acheived a tan. I knew that's exactly what I wanted my customers to experience.

“When I called ProSun they were more than helpful. Not only did they help me choose the right equipment, they helped me gather important information that was needed to design and construct my salon from the ground up. There were times when I would call them more than twice a day. They were always there if I had a question and if they did not know the answer they were more than happy to find out for me. By the end, my sales rep was not just a sales rep, I considered her a friend. I would not only reccomend ProSun for the quality and amazing equipment, but also for the personal and helpful service.”

Breland Booth in Birmingham, AL

I lucked up upon ProSun when I was planning to open a tanning salon next to my gym. ProSun rolled out the red carpet for me as a new customer and didn't treat any of my elementary questions as foolish. They even went as far as to set up a tour of their facilities for me so I could view their process first hand and meet the people that I would be doing business with. It's been over a year now, and we have had no major problems.”

Jackie Miller, Radiance Tanning in Abilene, TX

If you are in the market to open your own tanning salon, I would consult with ProSun only. My experience with ProSun's staff was absolutely wonderful. They answered all questions and were always available and willing to help. They took the time to show they truly cared about the opening of my new business and made me feel knowledgable about all of their equipment.

“Our clients are raving about how nice our equipment is. Everyone loves our salon and we have ProSun to thank. It was a pleasure working with ProSun and we look forward to continuing our business with them.”

When I was researching tanning beds for our new salon, ProSun was on the top of the list. One thing was clear: I wanted the best for our clients.

C. Bennet, Blue Crush Tanning & Spa

I am the owner of Blue Crush Tanning in Bettendorf, Iowa www.bluecrushqc.com. I am right in the middle of my 4th successful tanning season. My nine (9) ProSun tanning beds and stand-up booth are a great part of my success. When you purchase tanning beds you want them to tan your customers well, be easy, inexpensive to maintain & repair, and the company you purchase them from to stand behind their product. ProSun meets all the criteria.

From the beginning, the ProSun sales person was really more of a consultant. She helped me make decisions based on what was best for my market and budget. She made sure I had a good mixture with multiple types of beds to meet a wide variety of preferences for my clients tanning needs. But what has really made a difference in my day to day operations is the on-going service I receive from ProSuns customer service department. The ProSun beds are reasonably easy to maintain and repair. I’m not an electrician, but with Prosuns customer Services help I am able to troubleshoot and determine a plan of action to fix any issues. I have also been pleased with the ease and competitive pricing of changing lamps in the tanning bed.

When I am ready to upgrade tanning equipment, ProSun will be my first choice. The competitive pricing, the simplicity of maintenance, and the service make ProSun the best choice. I look forward to continuing our business together.”

T. Kapp, Tia, Tanning & Well Being

When I decided to go into the tanning industry I began by first searching for bed companies. Pro Sun jumped to the head of the line right away with their immediate response and their unbeatable customer service. Jennifer has been a God-send and I couldn’t be happier with my Pro Sun beds. All of my clients are extremely impressed with my bed line-up. We’ve incorporated the Onyx, Onyx + SR, the V5 and the X5. All of my beds are a hit! They’re comfortable, eye catching, user friendly and the vast majority of my clients have commented on how quiet and great the beds are. Aside from all of that, they’re affordable. From start to finish Pro Sun has been by my side and without them I don’t know that I could’ve accomplished opening my first business. Not only did Pro Sun offer a fantastic line of beds, they were also instrumental in recommending me to reputable companies and suppliers to help me cover all aspects of opening my business. Thank you to Jennifer, Marnix and Pro Sun for your support, belief and overall company values. Pro Sun is truly #1!
