#1 - The Machine & Spray Gun

We recommend the Aura Allure Spray Tanning Machine. Reliable & sleek - It's important that you feel confident with your equipment which translates to a better customer experience for your client (which is the MOST important thing in our opinion).

#2 - The Solution

Naked Sun Honey Glow is filled with all the skin nourishing ingredients your skin loves leaving your client a sun-kissed flawless go every time. 

#3 - Location...Location...location

Tan anywhere with our spacious pop-up tent. It's light-weight, easy to clean & store, and quick to set up & take down. You don’t need anything fancy, set your tent up in a bathroom, living room, garage, kitchen or where you and your client are most comfortable.

#4 – The “Necessities”

- Barrier Cream – This is the MOST important product you will carry. Apply this to the “dry areas” - wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, and feet. This help with over developing and turning the icky orange color everyone fears.

- Sticky Feet – This is the second most important product you will carry. This will keep the bottom of your clients’ feet from turning colors.

- Black towel – Set this just outside the tent for your client to stand on before and after the spray tan to keep their feet clean.

#5 – The “Extra’s”

Extra’s are just that….EXTRA. These simply enhance the experience for you and your client. Here are some examples:

- Extraction Fan – Absorbs overspray from the tent and provides cleaner air for both you and your client to breath.

- Tech Bag – Free your hands and carry all your gear in ONE stylish bag

- Disposables – Your client should dress to their comfort level. Having a few disposables in your bag is never a bad idea for the first timers that don’t know what to expect or that simply left their bikini at home by accident.

- Prep spray – If your client is coming from work or being out all day, a lite mist of prep spray will neutralize the pH of their skin for optimal spray results

- Drops – This is an easy upcharge to the client. Let them pick a favorite scent, skin firming, anti-aging drops, or if they want a deeper darker bronze. It allows them to customize & enhance their experience keeping them coming back.

- “ Retail Items” – Once you get going you may want to add body washes, scrubs or gradual tan lotions to sell your client to extend the longevity of their tan. 

Remember this is YOUR business and you can put as much or as little as you want. Start small and grow over time don’t put pressure on yourself to have it all on the first day.
