Anyone here do mobile sunless?

Curious to see who here has done mobile sunless through the parties or via other venues. Any tips or tricks any of you can offer for starting a mobile sunless tanning company are appreciated!

Re: Anyone here do mobile sunless?

I do mostly bridal parties and bachlorette parties. I normally spray the bride for free if there are three or more PAYING girls. I charge a milleage fee and also they normally tip me.

I have the pop up tent but it fills up with fumes so I dont use it. Use their shower/bathroom and throw a large peice of black material over the shower stall.

Sonyafly, this is the stuff I was explaining to ya......it's hard to explain but look for this. It's cheap and lasts a long time and works great cause it's disposable.

Re: Anyone here do mobile sunless?

Great! Thanks girl. Do you change the paper for every person? When you spray in the bathroom/shower, you throw the black material up for what purpose? So it doesn't get on the walls?

Re: Anyone here do mobile sunless?

Oh and does it say somewhere on that paper "poly-backed"? They have different kinds. This is for overspray on the floor, right?

Re: Anyone here do mobile sunless?

That roll of paper has like a shiny side to it that I lay a paper towels down under each foot. The paper towel SHOULD stick to the bottom of the foot so when they turn around they are not stepping in overspray. Then the 'rolled' paper and paper towels are easily disposable. I used to use a wet towel but that was too much maintenance to have to wash it all the time. You can even get those rolls of paper that doctors office's use on their paitent beds (disposable) but this has preforations so it's easily ripped.

I only take the black material with me to throw over their existing shower curtain and they stand in front of it.

Re: Anyone here do mobile sunless?

Normally a milleage fee will be between 50.00 and 75.00 but I just use the term Milleage. It's mostly just a fee for my time coming to thier home.

Re: Anyone here do mobile sunless?

Okay, I'm probably an airhead, but they stand in the tub while you spray? Or on the bathroom floor? And the black fabric is to keep it from messing up their shower curtain? IDGI
