Why is everyone saying scratch the spray tan ? Our Versa Spa runs literally ALL DAY LONG! I prefer Ergoline beds. The Passion, Affinity 500 & if its in your budget the Prestige (GOREGOUS BED)!

Add custom airbrushing to your set up! You can have it as an upsell from your Versa Spa & save a room by having it set up in the same room as your versa so you will spray customers while theyre in the booth. LITTLE clean up! Love it! I prefer Infinity Sun (splurge) or Norvell which is a cheaper alternative but still delivers amazing results! Training is available online or you can do it the old fashioned style & watch youtube videos & practice on friends!

See if it works. If it does then break out the checkbook for some of these ideas.

And based on your business Id still trash the versaspa based on its 4 year roi and go with custom airbrushing which has 5 times the margins and 2000 times less exposure/risk in a new venture.

Why spend all this money before the horse it purchased? Makes no sense.
HP can be - and should be - the most profitable unit in your salon.

If you spend 35K new and charge $35/visit - takes 1000 tans - or less than one lamp change - to pay back.

If you spend 35K new and even average $17.50/visit - takes 2000 tans - or less than one lamp change - to pay back.

If you spend $10-20K used - well, you can do the math. The point is - you will pay that unit back and start making SIGNIFICANT profit much faster than you can a unit where you are charging $7-10 and averaging half of that on return.

Same goes for spray tan . And yes - custom is even higher profit than booth - but requires labor and an eagerness to be in that game and be skilled. The booth (a good one) is minimal labor and still strong - and reliable - results each time.


4 year roi on Versa Spa? Again...even if you buy new for 25K and only average $12.50/spray, it would only take 2000 sprays to pay for itself. A well thought out business plan could return that in a season. And a poorly executed one might still only take 2 years.
