We mostly do hair with a scheduled nail tech. I have a storage room that seems a good size maybe 10 x 10 that I thought might accept a spray booth.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good booth. I don't think I want to do airbrush because of people getting nude and staffing issues. Not really sure which direction to go as the only one I have really heard of is called Mystic tan.

I looked on their website but that doesn't tell me about real world and it doesn't tell me what works. Also how much can you get for each spray tan and maybe how much they cost to do.

Any help would be great and thanks

Spray booths have lost their charm. I would not add one unless you have nobody doing it in your area. That is old technology that has been nearly matched by inhome products. In fact many of the spray makers have launched major inhome product lines to combat this.

I looked at them cost ranges from 10k - 22k for the "best" machines via repo or purchase and if you do the math you can't justify it. Your cost of goods if you buy at great prices maybe $4 dollars a spray. Really it is higher when you get nitty gritty about the numbers. In todays market you can charge at most $9.99 if you want to average more than 5+ tans a day which you have to otherwise you have totally wasted your money.

using that as a basis lets say you make 5 dollars a tan. 15k for the machine installed lets say. Your payment will be about $600 a month. With all that you are breaking even at best for 3 years. And you really need to add maybe $25-50 per month to market it plus fixing it. Blah blah

That ship sailed a couple years ago back when it was a winner.

If someone was going to go with a booth, I have heard really good things about the Versa Spa.  And no I don't sell them.  I think you might be missing the boat with sunless.  Our company is still growing and all we sell is HVLP/LVLP hand held systems and the products associated with them.  We have people who spray in thier bathroom in a 1 person shop.  As for cost per person for a handheld it is closer to $2.00 per person solution cost.  It really is worth looking into.

hey....i am at a very small salon in a small town and we do airbrush in a small area...with a curtain! and these folks have no problem getting naked...they do usually stay in a thong....some dont though...lol. dont use mystic..it is sooo orange. we use ocean and it rocks...no do-overs for us! good luck to yall! ps..the ocean brand is what they use on that sunset tans reality show. it rocks.

Sunless guns seem to be OK. Can't really lose money if you only spend a few hundred to get in. On solutions everyone has a different take on what is best. I don't think Sunset Tans is a very good reference as they are likely being paid to use what they use by advertisers.
