Spray Tanning Tips For Bridal Clients

As a spray tan artist, you want to create the best experience for your bridal clients - after all, this is one of the most important moments of their life! See below for some tips to make it a tan to remember. :)

Things to remember:

  • Brides are scared to be orange

  • They don’t want to risk getting transfer on to their desk

  • They may have never had a tan before

  • Their upper body needs to be flawless

  • They may require tan line correction

  • They should tan topless

Customer service must-dos:

  • Ask questions about dress (for tan purposes) 

  • Protect their nails

  • They should be tanned 48 hours before event (rinse + full shower) 

  • They should sleep in long sleeves and long pants

  • They can wash their hair upside down (avoid sulfates on back due to shampoo + conditioners) 

  • Ensure they are completely dry before getting dressed 


Tips to grow your business:

  • Create bridal packages

  • Create FAQ video or PDF answer commonly asked questions

  • Connect with bridal beauty teams - offer them discounted tan to try your service 

  • Provide discount to referral brides (such as makeup artist who sends client to you) 

  • Follow up with every bride 24 hours after their tan 

  • Ask for photos

  • Ask for reviews 


Some products I recommend:

  • 6-10% DHA

  • Offer Clear Solution 

  • Barrier Cream for Hands

  • Spray tan Safe Body Wash, Body Lotion (use code SprayTan22)
