Must-haves to get your spray tan empire up and running

Starting a spray tan biz is a perfect opportunity to embrace your inner boss babe and showcase your passion for beauty and wellness. To ensure your clients receive the ultimate glow-up, you'll need to have the right equipment and products on hand. Here's a guide to the essentials you'll need to launch your spray tan empire!

Spray Tan Machine: This is the heart of your biz, so choose a machine that is user-friendly, lightweight, and has customizable settings. You want to be able to personalize each client's experience and give them their dream glow. My personal Fav are the Fuji Series. For mobile I love the SoloTan and in studio the StudioTan

Pop-Up Tent: Your pop-up booth is your secret weapon, keeping you and your equipment protected while creating a chic and cozy space for your clients. Look for one that's easy to set up, portable, and has great ventilation. Airbrush Spray Tan Tent  is lightweight and easy to transport plus is XL so it fits all bodys with extra elbow room.

Spray Tan Solutions: The right spray tan solution can make all the difference. Opt for organic based, non-toxic, and chemical-free formula that delivers a natural color and a pleasant scent. Obsessed with Xtan Sunless Bronzite or Obsian for those clients that like to get dark AF ;) 

Barrier Cream: This is your shield, protecting your clients' skin from the solution and preventing an over-the-top color. Invest in a high-quality barrier cream for the ultimate flawless finish. 

Towels and Disposable Undergarments: Keep your clients comfortable and stylish with plenty of towels and disposable undergarments. Your clients will appreciate the extra touch of thoughtfulness.

Extraction System: For a healthy and happy environment, equip your booth with an extraction system. This will filter the air and keep it clean for your clients to breathe easily during their session. Extraction Fan can be used with  the tent or in your tanning room or salon.

High-Quality Lighting: You want to see your clients clearly, so make sure your lighting is on point. Good lighting helps you apply the solution evenly, ensuring a natural-looking tan every time. I use a combination of of overhead lights or a ring light for mobile tans. 

Marketing Materials: To spread the word about your girl-power biz, invest in marketing materials like business cards, aftercare cards, as well as a stunning website and social media presence. 

With the right equipment and products, you'll be ready to slay the spray tan game and give your clients the confidence boost they deserve. So go ahead and embrace your inner boss babe, and let's get this glow-up started!
