The Only Way is Essex
Thanks to the Internet I can watch television shows from all over the world. I particularly appreciate being able to watch British comedies (several of which get exported to the U.S. – did you know “The Office” was adapted for American audiences from the British version?). Though I’m a little ashamed to admit it, I recently got hooked on a British reality show called “The Only Way is Essex.” It is sort of a British hybrid of “Jersey Shore” and “The O.C.”
One of the main characters in the first two seasons of the show is a beautician named Amy Childs. She run’s a salon, appropriately named “Amy’s Salon,” which offers spray tanning services. As her salon space isn’t very large, she uses mobile sunless tanning equipment, like a pop up spray tan tent, to give clients a great glow.
Alternative Tanning Solutions
Ever since the tanning law went into effect a few weeks ago, I’ve been searching for a new way to get glowing, godlike skin. Since I go tanning three times a week, I just can’t afford the extra 10%. I’ve been trying to soak in some sun to augment my tanning regimen but I’m just not getting the results I want.
Last weekend some girlfriends and I were walking around the mall when we noticed a mobile spray tanning salon. I’ve always been skeptical of spray tans after a bad experience I had with a tan in a can before my junior prom, but I was running out of options. When I walked out of the tanning tent, I couldn’t believe how good I looked. The results were truly amazing and the tan has already lasted five days without showing any signs of fading.
Starting Your Own Tanning Salon
With the uncertain outlook of the economy, more and more people are looking for ways to supplement there income and embark on their own business endeavor. The key to success in any industry is finding an in-demand product with a lack of supply. This is easier said than done, of course, but right now the sunless tanning industry is burgeoning and there are many opportunities for new businesses to come claim a slab of the market.
Since the new tanning tax, people need a safe and cost effective alternative to tanning beds, which is exactly what spray tanning is. Sunless tanning supplies can easily be transported, allowing you to take the service to your customers and eliminated the need to rent office space. You’re probably wondering how to start a tanning salon business, and the initial startup is easier than you may think. You can find classes online that will take you through all of the essential information—from the necessary paperwork to purchasing your supplies.
Convenient Sunless Tanning Solutions
When your work 60 hours a week, it’s often difficult to find time to do the little things for yourself. I wake up at four in the morning in order to hit the gym before I head off to work each day. During my lunch break, I run out to the laundry mat or do some other basic errands in order to maximize my time. At the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is drive across town to go to the tanning salon.
Last weekend my friend clued me in to mobile spray tanning, so I decided to try it. After my first session, I was hooked. The spray tan artist came straight to my house at the appointed time, eliminating my customary trek to the west side and long lines I’ve grown accustomed to. Not only was the service convenient, but the results were awesome and I don’t have to worry about inundating my body with UV radiation every couple of days.
Benefits of Spray Tanning
By now most of us are well-aware of the inherent danger of tanning beds, but that is not the only drawback to that sunless tanning solution. Tanning parlors require that you drive to a storefront, and you often have to wait in line until there is an open booth. On top of that, there is the risk of burning and the fact that you have to lay in equipment that someone else has just been in.
Virtually all of these issues are addressed through airbrush tanning. Not only does the airbrush allow for an even application, but there is also absolutely no risk of burning. Due to the nature of the equipment, many airbrush tanning businesses offer mobile sunless tanning; this means that you don’t have to worry about driving to a storefront or waiting in long lines.
Mobile Tanning Booth Business
Last week I helped shuttle my brother and sister around for their high school homecoming. From picking out their outfits to going through their meticulous preparations, they spent hours getting ready. Most of the girls that attended had their hair professionally done and visited a tanning salon.
While the hairstylist came to the house, the girls were forced to schedule a time to go to a tanning salon. That was when it hit me; why not have a mobile tanning booth? With a few simple supplies you can start your own tanning business that is more attuned with the needs of its clientele than traditional brick and mortar locations.
Anyone can start a mobile sunless tanning business
People often wonder how successful one person can be at a mobile sunless tanning company. The answer is it depends how much you effort you put into it. Anyone can start a mobile tanning business, but do you have what it takes to be successful? The first question you should ask yourself is what my reason for starting this business is, and how do I convey my message to my clientele?
First, make sure that your reason for starting your mobile sunless tanning company is clear. Second, try to ensure that the products you are using from the beginning are good. This is still a small industry and if you use something in the beginning that is a bad product, it will be tough to overcome, or regain back the clients that were unhappy. Finally, give good customer service! Return your calls promptly, make sure your equipment is clean, use good business acumen, and pamper your clients. Follow a few basic steps and your mobile sunless tanning company will be successful.
