Re: Calling all Florida mobile tanners

I'm in Orlando and it's sunless is popular here. I have a wide variety of clients. When I first got started, I thought it would be mainly younger girls. I actually have more "soccer moms" than anything. I am also a nail technician in a salon and between the both I am as busy as I can be. I am starting to weed out some nail services and clients to make more room in my schedule for the tanning...more $$.

I have never quite grasped the concept of mobile tanning. Unless you are dealing with high profile people and celebrities who wouldn't want people recognizing them. It seems like with travel time, set up time, spray time, break down time and travel to the next site you would need to be charging about $150. I work in a very "upscale" area but people are still mindful of price. I can't see many people paying that when they can go to the salon or tanning place that's 5 minutes away and pay $40 or $50.

Obviously, this is just my opinion. Things may be different in your area. I think tanning is popular here because we are outside and showing alot of skin all year long. So, people that can't go out in the sun or just don;t get a nice tan still want to look good like everybody else. Good luck to you!
