Rep Power: 0 | Re: I want to start a mobile tanning business Hi tabathab, Have you looked into Sol Potion? They have very reasonable priced starter kits. Their colors are beautiful and you can mix them together to make special shades for your clients. Their training is pricey, but you do have a one on one training session and you get certified. They also have a section on their website about how to build your business. It's worth checking it out. |

Hey Tabatha.. I use Sjolie tanning products. They are located right past Sacramento. They are awesome! They may be able to refer you to someone that does private training. Cost wise for their package plus machine is 450.00, training would be a little more. | |

Isn't it so hard trying to decide which equipment? Have you heard of the Solomist? Also Chelegirl I have been reading about the different "levels" that solutions come in. what do they mean when they say 10% or level 9? I am assuming it is a darker or lighter color? so when it goes up it is lighter? so confused Last edited by TanTalk Admin; 08-10-2010 at 10:33 AM. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: I want to start a mobile tanning business Hi GloBug, I use the Mini-Mobile from Sol Potion (which is the Apollo T100 - that's what the instruction book said). I love it. It works like a charm. 9, 10, 12, etc all refer to the amount of DHA that is in the solution. This will give you a range of how dark the person will get depending on the level you use. BUT be forwarned. If you spray someone with a shade that is just too dark for their skin tone, they will look funny and fade poorly. Sol Potion has 4 levels of solution 9% is their lightest shade, 12% is their darkest shade. their colors go from a golden brown to a more red brown. I use the 9% on very fair skin people that have red undertones. The 9 has more golden tones to even out a person's red. On my darker clients I use a 10 or 11 1/2. I only use the 12% on clients who are super dark to begin with. I also mix the solutions to make my own colors for clients who are in between shades or want a darker color than their skin should be sprayed with. I hope this helps with your decision making process. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: I want to start a mobile tanning business Hey GloBug, I sell a TON of the Sol Potion lotion. People love it. I usually sell Ritual to my clients who are going on a vacation and want to keep up their tan while their gone. I haven't sold a lot of their exfoliator, but my clients who buy it really like it. I bought a couple of Magic Wands. They are really cool, but only sold one so far. They didn't have a DVD when I bought their package, it was just onsite training. It was pretty expensive but worth it cause I didn't have the first clue what I was doing. They not only trained me on the application but they went over how to work with my gun, how to handle client issues, mixing colors, how to work with new clients, etc. It was pretty thorough. |
