I'm thinking of opening a mobile spray tanning (and maybe teeth whitening) business i have a certificate of spray tanning, can anyone give me any tips at all? what should my budget be to start off? Is it good money in spray tanning? What's the best/worst things about it? what season is the busiest?

Thank you so much and am really looking forward to hearing everyones replies!

Well there is no budget Hun lol Its your budget and what you can afford of course you need a tent, a tanning machine, lotion, sundries to start up. The money can be good in spray tanning, its certainly a popular treatment. I find the busiest months are November and December and leading upto summer.

There are no worst things about tanning at all, of course the best thing is that its quick to do.

I agree that December is very busy but I am steady all year, thought it would be quiet this year in Jan and Feb especially with the credit crunch etc but I have been suprised at just how busy i've been, and the busy season hasnt even started yet! woo hoo!

Nowadays you can set up from as little as a few hundred pounds all the way up to thousands.

The spray tan sector seems to be currently experiencing boom times and generally speaking those therapists that do put the effort in are doing well.
Many that enter this sector start on a part time basis doing spray tans in evenings and weekends...once established and the customer base has grown as has confidence often this then becomes the main income revenue generator and is done on a full time basis.

What you get out in terms of income is very much dependant upon how much effort and commitment you put in.

Its not easy initially but with plenty of hard work,blood sweat and tears it can be most rewarding.

I think spray tanning is the best treatment to do. There is mega money out there to be earnt if you advertise correctly and it's quick money.
My busiest times are throughout the summer and begining of winter and LOADS at xmas/new year.
My start up cost was £500. You are better off buying a kit as it is a lot cheaper than buying it all individually xxx
