Re: some advises please for new guy

I did mobile for a while and it got too weird. I will do it for wedding parties (woman) but I dont advertise my mobile anymore and took the writing off my Navigator. Bbut truthfully, you may have an issue being a man.....dont take offense but I dont see you getting a lot of business from woman (whom would be your target clientelle) allowing a man to come in their home to spray them. Good luck in whatever you decide!

You would need to partner with a woman. You might be useful to spray the male clients, but even so they usually prefer women technicians.

Re: some advises please for new guy

Yeah majority of your customers will be female and will feel uncomfartable with you spraying them. You need a female to help with the spray tans . Also, you need to get your name out there. I would recommend doing a few free spray tans to promote. We do not too mobile unless it's a large party that requests it, but when we started our spray tans we did a few free spray tans to well known customers and it got us great exposure. Their friends, co-workers, and family were impressed with the spray and made appointments. Make sure you get a good solution and know how to spray. You don't want to mess up on a client.

You should talk to besthands, on Tantalk. He is a male in spray tanning and has quite a following. He would give you honest advice.
