So what does it in entail to start you own Sunless Spray Tanning business?

Below we have answered the most faq's.

What equipment will I need?

To provide a great Spray Tanning service, you will need the correct equipment eg. HVLP spray system, pop-up booth & the spray tanning essentials to do so. Most companies will offer starter kits that will not include everything needed to begin your business. We offer complete Turn-Key Business Start-up Kits which includes everything you need to start you own professional spray tanning business. We have 4 different start-up kits available, to suit your budget & needs.

Here are 3 important points to consider when researching your equipment.

  1. Look for a spray tan machine that comes with a guarantee. (Our HVLP Spray Tan Machines carries a 1 year guarantee and is made in Germany).  
  2. A gun with a stainless steel needle is best! Plastic needles are not ideal as plastic is perishable and will not last as long as a stainless steel needlle. (Our spray gun has a 0.6mm stainless steel needle. The spray needle of our gun (0.6mm) is also much finer than comparable spray tan units ensuring maximum atomisation of the spray tan fluid, thereby using the least amount of product). 
  3. Look for a good quality tent as you will use and fold your tent often. (Our spray tanning tents are superior quality and are made with a durable high quality fabric).

Do you offer financing? Can i pay off my business start-up kit?

Start a Facebook page, create a website, advertise on Gumtree & OLX, list your business on Google Places and hand out flyers wherever you can! We have many free helpful resources available for our clients. These are all great ways to market your Spray Tanning Business and get your business started. Most importantly, spray tan your friends and family! These people will be your walking advertisements!

How do i obtain training?

We do have a very informative training DVD available and Training Spray Tan Solution for you to practice your technique with.

Are there Spray Tanning Health & Safety regulations?

Yes, there is. It is recommended by the FDA & Brilliant Tan that users should avoid ingesting or inhaling the mist of any sunless tanning product containing DHA (Dihydroxyacetone). Although DHA is considered a safe ingredient and the DHA in our products are EcoCert, DHA is recommended for external use only by the FDA. Therefore always wear the necessary safety gear when spray tanning eg breathable foam nose filters / disposable paper masks , protective eye wear eg. spray tanning glassesYour client should also wear protective undergarments
