Ok, I am feeling like a little rant today....
I support and applaud all of those that want to go into business for themselves. If someone wants to start offering spray tans GREAT!!!
The problem is that spray tanning is still "new" to many people especially here in Alabama. A totally new experience. When this new experience isn't good they are less likely to try it again.
Back to my point of starting a spray tan business... GET TRAINING!!!!!!! Please don't just buy some equipment, watch a video, and go out and start doing spray tans. Although it looks easy and there are sites designed to make money out of you starting up spray tanning by telling you how easy and fast it is, there is an art to it and technique involved that an experienced spray tanner (whom themselves have been trained and exposed to various situations) can help you to develop. You also need to understand different solutions and what is in those solutions to find the ones that you work best with and give your customers the results they desire.
Training is an investment in your business and yourself. Just like the investment you make to buy your equipment and supplies training is necessary. Your training gives you an edge, a confidence, and if you are good you WILL get returned business, referrels, and more. Thus a return on your investment and your business will grow.
If you decide against this essential part of starting your spray tan business, than you could be left spinning your wheels in the dirt when you don't get returned business and the word of mouth gets out that people should avoid your services due to bad experiences. Think about it, if you have a bad experience with someone your twice as likely to tell someone else about it just like your future customers will be. Don't set yourself back, set yourself apart. You will be out of business before you are even in it.... You also give other spray tanners that are really good a bad name and loose business for them because your customer had their 1st spray tan and it was a bad experience and they decided to never ever try it again. I ask "Why waste your time and money to start an unsuccessful business?"
For all of those who have had bad spray tans and said to yourself "Never again" - please don't think that everyone is the same. Just like hairdressers there are those that are fantastic and those that aren't so good. Seek out the fantastic ones and stay with them.
If you wonder how to find the good ones, its just like any other service... Ask around, do some research, check someone's credibility, check customer feedback if available, and don't just shop on price alone....
Well that is my rant today, and my mini business lesson.
Take care and always Healthy Tanning!

I couldn't agree more with you! It is so important to know what you are doing when it comes to spray tanning. Where do you suggest that people go if they want to learn how to do this particular art form?
ReplyDeleteGary, thanks for the comment. There are different ways to obtain training and different companies around that will provide it. Check with companies like Artesian Tan for certified trainers. The best thing that I recommend is to find a successful spray tan technician that has gotten great reviews and ask them to consider allowing you to pay them for training. Someone in the business all the time can really give good tips and advice. Happy Tanning!!!

Wow! I never thought being tan could be so quick easy and painless. Yes, we’ve all heard the Oompa Loompa horror stories…so I was a bit apprehensive at first.
ReplyDeleteSpray tan that all around though…
I’m a pretty shy person when it comes to stripping down for a stranger, but instantly she made me feel extremely comfortable with the whole process, and within ten minutes I was golden brown.
If you’re going away for a last minute trip or have an event she always fits you into her schedule and makes it convenient for you.
