Custom spray tanning: a safe alternative to sunbeds, income from repeats
People want a tan without sunbed risk. Spray tanning gives an even custom tan โ and you earn on it washing off in a few days and the client returning.
You provide custom spray tanning โ using an airbrush or spray gun you apply a self-tan solution and create an even, natural tan with no sun or sunbed, as a safe alternative to UV. It is a fast service with year-round and strongly seasonal demand (weddings, balls, photoshoots, holidays) and the main income recurs because the tan washes off in a few days and the client returns regularly. The main challenge for a beginner is that the whole value rests on the craft of application: evenness, the right shade custom to the skin and skin prep decide the result, and one streak, patch or orange tint means a bad experience and review. The second trap is strong seasonality: before weddings and balls there is a rush, off-season demand is weaker, so you must manage capacity at the peak and income outside it, and add contraindications and allergies to the solution's ingredients.
Plenty of people want to look tanned and healthier but are afraid of sunbeds and the sun because of the risk of skin damage and ageing, and self-tan creams from the chemist leave them with streaks, patches and an orange tint at home. Between a risky sunbed and a botched home tan there is a gap โ a safe, even tan done professionally. Few people fill this gap properly yet.
๐The tan washes off โ the client returns
A spray tan lasts only a few days and then washes off, so the client returns regularly whenever they want to look good. This impermanence of the result is actually an advantage โ it holds repeat income that does not rest on a one-off visit.
