PLEASE CHARGE MORE FOR MOBILE!!!!!!

GotGLOW? · 08-07-2008, 11:14 AM

I am going to pull my hair out if tech's keep charging less than $50 for mobile airbrush/HVLP tanning!!!! This is a V.I.P. service. Yes, its okay to charge $25-$45 in a salon, but MOBILE is different!! If people continue down this track, money will be lost!! This craze is only going to get bigger and you will be spraying more people one day and then start to lose money!!! The mobile tan industry will fail if you people dont kick it up!! Also, you dont want to have to one day RAISE your price, people hate that!! I charge 1-$75 or 2/$100, and people still tip. Yeah the economy sucks but people STILL SPEND MONEY!! I live in Louisiana so its not like i live in some rich state or anything. Just please dont think people wont do it because its too much. Learn how to accept credit cards! Theres way to much that is at stake for people to just oh...well...i guess i'll just charge um....$40? PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT. Don't think your not worth more. You are, your giving your clients a great service that for so long only celeb's got. Your making people feel good, and look hott!!

I agree! Do you mind if I ask you, what type of unit & solutions do you use? Okay, yeh...I am a newbie!
Thanks!

I use an HVLP/Turbine system called SprayFine....i believe there is one that is also an airbrush system, but mine is not. HVLP is the way to go!! My tent came with it, i got it off ebay. The only thing is you really need to practice. Its really about technique. My tans come out just as awesome as those pricey systems. I use PureSunless, Aviva Labs, and Focus. The Focus one is dark and lasts long, and has AWESOME anti-aging benefits that i have not been able to find in ANY other solution. And it smells so good. PureSunless is a brownish color, and smells great too! Aviva is my 10% solution and that has a very natural color to it, just very pretty, and glowy. Not really too much scent in that one.

GG: I can not thank you enough for this helpful information. Seems after I make a choice about equipment / solutions or client items - I find more "bigger/better" stuff advertised. So it's a great help to hear this from someone that is't trying to sell the material. Hey, THANKS!

Ah, going to Lafayette. I'm driving through Baton Rouge Friday night and Monday. Maybe I can come see you Monday on my way to the airport. I can bring some samples of the Biddescombe that I've been trying.

If you felt like you had the time, thatd be awesome! Iv actually been wanting to try that solution. At the time I have Aviva Labs and Focus. Waiting to order more PureSunless--seems theyre are bad ingredients for your skin in it : ( no wonder it gives a pretty color.
