What Spray Tanning Equipment Will I Need?
To provide a professional spray tanning service, you will need reliable equipment and the correct spray tanning essentials. This normally includes a professional HVLP spray tan system, a pop-up spray tanning booth, professional spray tan solution and suitable client-protection products.
Many starter kits do not include everything required to begin practising or providing treatments. Brilliant Tan offers complete turnkey spray tan business starter kits containing the essential equipment and products needed to start your own professional spray tanning business.
We offer four different startup kits to suit a range of budgets and business requirements.
Three Important Points to Consider When Choosing Spray Tan Equipment
-
Choose a spray tan machine with a guarantee.
A reliable spray tan machine is an important investment in your business. Brilliant Tan professional HVLP spray tan machines carry a one-year guarantee.
-
Choose a spray gun with a stainless-steel needle.
Stainless-steel needles are more durable than plastic needles, which may deteriorate with regular use. Our professional spray tan gun has a fine 0.6 mm stainless-steel needle.
The fine needle helps create effective atomisation of the spray tan solution, producing a controlled and even mist while helping to reduce unnecessary product usage.
-
Invest in a durable spray tanning tent.
Your spray tanning tent will be opened, folded, cleaned and transported regularly, particularly if you operate a mobile spray tan business. It is therefore important to choose a tent made from strong, durable and easy-to-clean material.
Our pop-up spray tanning booths are manufactured from durable, high-quality fabric for regular professional use.
How Do I Obtain Spray Tan Training?
Personal spray tan training sessions are available at selected Brilliant Tan training locations. Please contact us for information about available training dates, locations and booking requirements.
We also offer comprehensive training material and a dedicated training spray tan solution, allowing you to practise your spraying technique without using professional tanning solution.
Once you are comfortable and confident with the spray tanning technique, contact us for information about obtaining Brilliant Tan certification, should you require it.
Are There Health and Safety Requirements for Spray Tanning?
Yes. Appropriate health and safety precautions should always be followed when providing a professional spray tanning treatment.
Users should avoid inhaling or ingesting the mist from sunless tanning products containing DHA, also known as dihydroxyacetone. DHA is intended for external application to the skin and should not be inhaled, ingested or applied to areas covered by mucous membranes.
The spray tan technician and client should use suitable protective products during the treatment. These may include disposable face masks, protective eyewear, spray tanning glasses, lip protection, appropriate ventilation and disposable protective undergarments .
Always follow the instructions, safety information and recommended procedures supplied with your spray tan solution and equipment.
How Can I Get My Spray Tan Business Off the Ground?
Consistent marketing is essential when starting a new spray tanning business. Create professional profiles on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Google Business Profile.
You can also promote your services through local community groups, beauty salons, hairdressers, nail technicians, wedding suppliers, fitness communities, referral incentives, customer reviews and before-and-after photographs.
Brilliant Tan provides helpful resources to support customers who are starting and growing their professional spray tanning businesses.
Practising on friends and family is also an effective way to improve your technique, build confidence, create before-and-after photographs and generate your first referrals. Always obtain permission before publishing photographs of a client or model.
Is Starting a Spray Tan Business Worth It?
A spray tanning business can offer an attractive return on investment when it is operated professionally and marketed consistently.
Startup costs are generally lower than those of many other salon-based businesses, particularly when you begin as a mobile spray tan therapist, operate from home or add spray tanning to an existing beauty salon.
Your results will depend on factors such as your treatment pricing, product costs, location, service quality, marketing and ability to retain customers.
Brilliant Tan provides professional spray tanning equipment, locally manufactured spray tan solution, training resources and ongoing support to help you build a sustainable sunless tanning business.
