When maintaining an older bed stops making commercial sense

The project

When maintaining an older bed stops making commercial sense

Our relationship with Platinum Tanning initially centred around servicing and maintaining some of the salon's older equipment.

But every salon owner understands the commercial reality of downtime: when a sunbed isn't operating, it isn't generating revenue, and repeated faults can also create queues, disruption and additional pressure on the rest of the salon floor.

After several call outs and servicing visits, the owner asked J Solutions for advice. The decision was made to replace an older Ergoline Affinity 600 with a megaSun 7800 Alpha Hybrid.

  • Upgrade driven by real operational challenges
  • Older Ergoline replaced with premium megaSun technology
  • Reduced reliance on repeated repairs and call outs

Why it matters

What salon owners should take from this project

Sometimes upgrading is the economical decision

Keeping older equipment running can make sense until repair costs, downtime and lost sessions begin affecting the business. The right time to upgrade is a commercial decision, not simply an aesthetic one.

Solve capacity and downtime together

Introducing the 7800 Alpha Hybrid helped address the reliability issue while giving Platinum another strong premium option for customers and helping relieve pressure during busy periods.

New equipment can create new demand

The upgrade didn't simply replace an older machine. A newer premium sunbed gave existing customers something different to try while helping attract additional interest to the salon.

Sometimes the value of an upgrade isn't just what you save on repairs, it's what the new equipment can generate.

“I had a pleasure to deal with j solution. Best in the business. Have few sunbeds bought and assembled by the company. Never had any issues with the equipment. They would also advise what’s new on the market. Thank you kindly”

“The salon looks absolutely stunning – it’s on a completely different level. Everything feels premium and high quality, especially the tanning beds. From a staff and client perspective, the investment was 100% worth it. I also received extremely detailed and professional training on tanning, skin types and safety. The support doesn’t stop after delivery. Highly recommended.”
