Re: Anybody have a room in their house for spray tanning clients?

I have a spa/salon and we are mobile also.

I am in a town close to your size and you can find 'business suites' for less than $400.00/mo with phone/internet and sometimes a shared receptionist.

We will do mobile services at someone’s house, but not mine or any employee's house either. Their house is for their comfort/convenience; your house looks like you’re cheap.

Please do not be insulted, you could live in a mansion and I will still say the same thing.

I think it crosses a line of perceived professionalism and integrity of your business.

Best of luck what ever path you go down.

hey house of tan~ no... i really appreciate the advice! i'm new to this game and want opinions like yours~ somebody who's been in it and knows a thing or two. actually, i agree with you. i think having a business suite presents a way more professional image than the home option. the reason i even thought of that is that the girl who trained me offered the option to her clients to come to her house~ but i did not like her set-up at ALL! she was spraying out of her garage, just opening and closing the door when the girls came in. and she had absolutely NO frills~ garage was not "made up", "cleaned up", etc... all she did was lay a throw sheet on the floor. it was really cold in there, too. there wasn't a backdrop or anything. i was really surprised based on the image i had of her before i met with her. i left there with some good hands-on training, but really no idea of how to make it work in my area. that would NEVER go over here and is why i was thinking of turning a room into a really cute, nice, professional area. but i have had doubts about it and doubts about how to make it work. do you think i should JUST start out mobile then look into renting a suite?

please!! any advice would be greatly appreciated~ and i'm definitely not insulted

thank you!
