Only one I can think of is a "Drivers". You will need to get there everyday.

Re: Ten basic tips to opening a salon.
Hello,

This is outstanding information, thanks very much!

I have a question. Does anyone know how I can have my own spray tan solution made from scratch?

Do I go to a chemist?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Why? There are so many great/reputable/time tested products available, why go thru the expense of doing it your own?

Yes a chemist would be needed, but more specific, one related to the cosmetic industry with the experience.

It would be costly, with many FDA/governmental licenses and permits needed to proceed. Your product would have to go thru the FDA approval process which could be lengthy and expensive. Lawyers would be needed to protect yourself against any legalities and protections for copyright of product...

Cheaper to buy.

The other route, find a cosmetic manufacturer who private labels

Most important is have a cash bank for 4-6 month if all fail.

Re: Ten basic tips to opening a salon.
Hello, thank you for this discussion. As far as spray solutions for hand guns, is there a consensus as to which solution is the best? And what type of pricing should I be paying for solution ?

Thanks very much!

Re: Ten basic tips to opening a salon.
How did you decide what beds to use? If you are unsure on how to run the business and what to start with, choosing beds and a location is probably too early in order for you to be successful.

Hi friends! I have had my mobile spray tanning business for 2 years now, and it's Awesome I love it, but I want to open a storefront! But I have NO clue where to start! What kind of license do you need? Does the shop need to have some special air flow system? Insurance? Any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
