Don’t Forget to Moisturize!
Moisturizing should already be part of your daily skin cleansing regimen, but it is especially important if you frequently receive spray tans. When skin is dry a spray tan is likely to fade faster. A good moisturizer helps keep color in place and makes your skin maintain a healthy glow.
It used to be that moisturizers made for spray tan maintenance smelled foul. (I remember a roommate who just slathered herself with the stuff and it would stink up our whole bathroom). Nowadays, spray tan moisturizers smell a whole lot better while getting the job done.
Cleanliness is Key
It seems like every month there is some story on the news about a salon that has infected clients with nasty diseases because of unclean supplies. When you are in the beauty business cleanliness is key! I run my own salon and I make sure that every inch of the place is cleaned thoroughly, every day. I don’t want my customers to ever feel uncomfortable.
The airbrush tanning supplies in particular are cleaned on a regular basis. If a staff member has a messy station or hasn’t cleaned out their tanning tools properly, they are fired immediately. Clients appreciate this zero tolerance policy. They know that their health will never be compromised in my salon.
Workout Reward
Like many people, I hate sweating. A shirt that sticks to your back or has pit stains is a total turn-off. Unfortunately, I know that in order to look good you need to sweat. I told myself I had to get over it, join a gym, and commit to working out.
It’s been two months now and I’m starting to see pay-off. Yes, my body looks better, but I also find that I have a lot more energy now. To keep myself motivated, I give myself little treats. A big one for me has been if I go to the gym every day for two weeks I treat myself to airbrush tanning. Having a healthy glow makes my new body look even better!
Becoming a Certified Airbrush Tech
Airbrush tanning certification is not a requirement in order to become a technician, but it is advisable. Both the American Tanning Institute and the National Tanning Training Institute offer in-person and online certification programs. Study materials cover such topics as how DHA works, operator safety, and FDA guidelines.
Through a certification program, future technicians will learn their way around spray tanning supplies. This will help them get hired or start their own salon. Getting certified really is for the best, especially since many state boards of cosmetology are considering making certification a requirement.
Mom to the Rescue
This past weekend was Homecoming at my daughter’s high school. Following the big football game, there is a school-wide Homecoming dance. My daughter saved up her own babysitting money to purchase the dress that she wanted; a beautiful purple halter top gown.
Unfortunately, she had some stubborn tan lines from spending the summer outdoors. When she tried on her dress the day before the dance she freaked out when she saw how prominent the tan lines were. Thankfully, I was able to book an appointment for her at a local salon that has a fabulous airbrush tanning system. The technician was able to cover up the tan lines and even out her skin so she looked flawless at the dance.
Testing Out New Equipment
There will come a point in every salon owner’s career when their old equipment may need to be replaced. Even the best spray guns get gummed up or need parts replaced, making it more cost effective to purchase a new system. While it may be tempting to run out and buy the same model, take time to consider your options.
If you can, try to test out new airbrush tanning supplies. Perhaps there is a new applicator that handles better than your old equipment. Perhaps not. Either way you will know that you’ve done the appropriate research to make sure that your salon is equipped with the best supplies out there.

Mobile Tanning Booth
Every summer my family gathers together at my grandmother’s summer home on Long Beach Island, NJ. It gets a bit cramped in the house with all of us together, so we wind up spending a lot of time outdoors. There’s plenty to do: swim and surf at the beach, kayak on the bay, trek out to Barnegat Lighthouse, and more.
Before I venture “down the shore” I make sure to schedule an appointment for my favorite tanning technician to come by my house with her mobile tanning booth. Even though I’m spending the week with family, I still want to look my best! The tan lasts all week (and beyond) and doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg.
Investing in Airbrush Tanning Supplies
Tanning is not a mere fad; the tanning industry has been doing quite well for itself, as more and more people desire a summery tan year round. When breaking into the airbrush tanning business there are many upfront costs. Primarily, you will want to invest in a quality set of airbrush tanning supplies.
Experts suggest that rather than buying each item individually, an airbrush entrepreneur should purchase airbrush tanning supply sets. It saves a little bit of money overall. Investing in high quality airbrush tanning supplies is a wise move as higher quality supplies tend to last longer than the cheaply made supplies that clog or break easily. Tanning solutions tend to last only nine months, depending on the brand, but without proper storage can be rendered useless. Be sure to read the storage instructions before use and perhaps utilize the trick of keeping tanning solutions in the refrigerator between uses.
