I don't have a location and don't want to commit to opening one. Can I still do this?
Absolutely! Some of the most successful spray tanners work in these locations:
Mobile: This is great for charging a premium for convenience. No need to worry about decor or a location. Great for wedding parties and travelers.
Rent a room one day a week at a salon or gym: With a tent and an extraction fan, you can set up a pop up spray tan event, anywhere! Hint: Thursdays are a great day to rent a space because everyone likes to be tan for the weekend.
You can also spray tan in your own bathroom, home studio, rent a small space, turn a vintage trailer into a mobile spray tan vehicle, there are so many options!
Is there enough demand for this?
Omg yes! Spray Tanning is getting more popular as spray tan solutions become even better and people become more concerned with sun damage.
The great thing about spray tanning is it can be done every 10 days or so. Unlike other beauty services that can only be done every few months like hair or once a year like cosmetic tattoo.
Spray tanning creates regulars like nail and lash services do, since these services need to be performed regularly.
Not only are people looking for a great spray tan for important occasions like weddings and vacations but also for the weekend cocktail party, photos, to feel better, etc.
How much money can I make?
Expect to make a few hundred dollars a week as you build your skills and find clients.
While we can't guarantee specific income, our students often find they can comfortably add a few hundred dollars or more to their weekly income once they consistently apply the strategies taught in the course and actively build their client base. Your earnings will directly reflect your effort, marketing, and the time you dedicate to your new business.
Full-time potential: Some dedicated spray tan artists turn this side hustle into a full-time income, like me!
What impacts your earnings:
How much you charge per tan.
How many clients you have.
If you sell extra products like lotions, sunscreens, etc.
Important to remember:
You'll need to subtract the cost of supplies and any other business expenses.
The more time you put in, the more money you're likely to make.
You'll need to market yourself to attract clients.
Will I need to purchase a ton of equipment to get this going?
I will provide a comprehensive list that will get you up and going for under one thousand dollars! For some, much less! It just depends on the machine you choose.
The machine my business has been using for the last two years cost us 300 bucks! And we use it commercially!
How much time and effort goes into creating a spray tan side hustle? What's a rough idea of the time and schedule commitment needed to do it successfully?
Getting started:
It typically takes 3 weeks to get set up, but of course, this can happen as slow or as fast as you make it. Once you have Amazon deliver your equipment, you can literally learn it over a weekend if you devote 2 full days to it. This includes:
Training and practice (about 10-20 hours)
It usually takes 10-15 practice spray tans to be able to charge
Buying equipment
Simple business planning and basic website setup
Ongoing time commitment:
Plan on dedicating a few hours each week to:
Finding clients (social media, promotions)
Spray tan appointments (plus travel if you're mobile)
Cleaning and restocking supplies
It's flexible!
The beauty of a side hustle is you decide how much time you want to put in. Start small with a few clients a week, then slowly increase as your business expands.
Important Note: Even though it's a side hustle, treat it like a real business. Consistency and quality spray tans are essential for success.
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the things I'm going to learn and execute inside this program. Are you sure I can do it?
I get it! Starting something new, especially when you're already juggling a lot, can feel daunting. That's why I designed this course to be as step-by-step and manageable as possible. Here's how I help you succeed:
Bite-Sized Learning: Lessons are short and focused, so you can fit them into those pockets of free time instead of feeling like you need hours to dedicate.
Action Plans: You won't just learn things, you'll have clear checklists and action steps to help you make steady progress, even with a busy schedule.
Is it easy? No, building a business takes effort. But I'll give you the roadmap and support to make it achievable, even if you're starting with zero experience.
After you purchase the course, you will be asked if you'd like to purchase additional coaching sessions with me. I highly recommend taking advantage of these coaching opportunities!
What is my likelihood of success?
Consistency is the secret ingredient to making money. Showing up reliably – whether it's marketing your side hustle, giving amazing spray tans, or following up with clients – builds trust. Trust attracts more clients, and more clients mean more money. Consistency fuels growth in any business endeavor.
