More tanning advice please!

[babychick]

Good morning Geeks!

I'm back looking for help! I decided to go with the LA tanning starter deal and cant wait till it arrives :green: !
Can anyone help me with how much I should charge people when I'm just starting out (I have loads of friends volunteering their bodies!)? I was discussing this with my nail tech who says she would never do anyone for free or mega cheap as its hard to go back on your previous price....what do you think?
Also, can anyone advise on UK companies who I can contact for samples....(just searched a couple of companies I had written down only to find they were in Australia & USA :lol:!)....and what you find to be your favourite solutions/companies that offer good service and aftercare as I've only dealt with fake bake so far.

All advice greatly appreciated as always.

hi there everyone i asked for samples like suntana, tantrick, and a few other all sent samples. tantrick were best for samples sent me quite a few then another few weeks later and wanted to know how i got on very good customer service. as for charging i charge £15 just be careful with friend they can take the mick if you do it for free then they want it all time for free lol depending on the friends. i havebeen using tan truth at the moment as well which my friend loves and is good to practise with as not expensive

hi i use LA Tan an i've only be going abot a month so everything is still very new but la tan have been great an the offers they have are fab also,:lol:

salons around me are charging anything from £10-£25 an mobile £10-£20 so i've priced myself at £15 (i'm mobile) after i did my training i done 3 free everyone else i started at £15 an they've turned out be regular customers i think if you do too many free and cheap you may find it hard to increase your price :lol: good luck with it :lol: x x

Unfortunately the site rules don't like us talking about specific amounts charged....treatment costs for spray tanning should run at no more than 10% of the solution costs so offers great potential to those that provide this service.

In terms of samples...well google spray tan or hit the search button top right of the screen and there is a multitude of companies that will happily send out samples...some charge for this although most don't.

Good luck with your business :hug:

Whoops! Sorry all.....I didnt realise that prices shouldnt be talked about! That's my own fault as I didnt even realise there was rules - computers are not my strong point and its taken me a while to get used to the site.....obviously still got a bit to learn! x

Thanx for your help everyone & good luck on your new ventures cezziebear & weeleelee as you're in the same boat as me!

I charge £20 for a full body tan, some techs in my area charge less than this but me and my clients are happy with this amount (it also leaves room for the occasional special offer!)
