Tan in a Can!

A great way to apply a sunless tan at home is with a spray tan in a can!  These products work well and super easy to apply! You simply mist yourself and wait for your sunless spray tan to develop!

Tan in a can also works well as a touch up spray or tan extender!  They are great to take on vacations, so you can keep your sunless spray tan a few extra days!  Just mist yourself when you notice your tan starting to fade.  Spray tan in a can smells great and has absolutely gorgeous color!

Keeping Your Techs Safe

There are many great sunless tanning supplies that are great for your spray tanning technicians!  These supplies include but are not limited to disposable masks, gloves, and nose filters.

Disposable masks are one of many great sunless tanning supplies that prevent the inhalation of spray tanning solutions.  They are comfortable and loop around the ears to stay in place.  Disposable gloves should be worn to prevent spray tanning solution from staining your hands while you are spraying.  Nose filters are great for techs and clients alike!  They adequately prevent you from breathing in over spray, without leaving any sort of tan line!

DHA Boost!

Can't seem to get dark enough, even with the deepest level spray tanning solutions you have?  Try adding a few drops of DHA booster!  DHA Booster Drops will increase the level of DHA in any spray tanning solution.  This will create a darker end result color.

When using booster drops, be careful not to add too much concentration of DHA to your spray tanning solutions than what your skin can take.  If you use something too dark for you, it can create off colored orangy tones. DHA booster drops are all natural and available in clear or bronze!

Keep Your Feet Clean!

Tired of clients getting dark foot bottoms from over sprayed sunless tanning solution?  Check out Neat Feet disposable spray tanning sandals! These are a great, simple solution to keeping the bottoms of the feet clean during a spray tanning session!

Neat Feet are quality disposable sandals that stick to the bottom of your clients feet.  These are great for use with sunless tanning solutions because there will be no tan line on the top of the foot.  They are cardboard, and a perfect inexpensive product to use in your business! 

Mobile Over Spray Extraction

Love the idea of having an extraction booth system, but do more spray tanning business mobile?  Check out the over spray extraction floor fan!

This floor fan will help to remove over sprayed solution in your spray tanning business, weather it be mobile or in a set spot!  The floor fans are great for mobile tanning!  They have a filter to trap the spray tanning solution, and fit perfect in the back of your pop up tanning tent.  Having an over spray extraction fan will improve the air quality for both you and your clients.  It also helps to keep your tent, or spray tanning area clean and free of over sprayed solution!

Light, Glowing Skin

Looking for more of a natural tan, than a dark tropical look?  Try using an original shade of sunless tanning solutions! If you are super fair skinned, try letting the tan develop for 5 or 6 hours instead of the standard 8.  The lower the level of DHA in the solution, the lighter the tan you will develop.

Light, natural looking tans are a great look for winter!  It's also great for any special event that you really want to stand out at.  Sunless tanning solutions give you a great glow, without the harmful effects of the sun!  Try getting your glow on, with a light shade of solution!

Get Optimal Color

Using a pH balancing prep spray before spray tanning your clients can really make a difference in the results!  These sprays help to lower the pH level of your skin, which helps to make spray tanning solution the most effective.

You simply mist your clients with the pH balancing spray and allow it to dry before applying your favorite spray tan solution.  Using the prep spray will help the spray tan solution develop more brown tones and reduce the risk of any orange off coloring.  It also will help the spray tanning solution to go on smoothly and fade more evenly!

Mobile Tanning

Offering mobile spray tanning can be very profitable to your tanning company.  Essentially, mobile spray tanning is offering personal spray tans in someones home.  You bring your equipment, set up, and spray tan your clients in their own home!

These days people can be very busy, and simply not have the time to get out and get their favorite spray tan.  With mobile spray tanning, busy people can get great quality spray tans between meetings, or on their lunch break.  You simply bring your spray tanning equipment and a pop up tanning tent to spray your clients in.  Set up in their home, and get spraying!  Luggage on wheels can be great for pulling around your equipment and supplies!

Exfoliation Methods

Good exfoliation is key to getting the most even tan and best wear out of your sunless tanning products. There are many different ways to exfoliate your skin.  All of which will remove dead skin cells and any product build up. Here are a couple methods to try!

Try using an exfoliation wash cloth or glove!  You can use these in the shower with baking soda, body wash, or any exfoliator of your choosing.  Gently rub your body with the cloth or glove to remove dead skin, rinse well afterwards. There are many exfoliating products available, and some are very simple to make yourself!  There are tons of recipes online to make your own.

Dry brushing is another excellent exfoliation method.  This takes a bit of patience, but yields amazing results and helps to increase circulation and re energize your skin. You use a natural bristle brush, brushing your skin in strokes towards your heart. You should always brush your skin towards your heart to avoid rupturing blood vessels.  Once you have fully dry brushed your entire body, hop in the shower and wash per usual. Keep in mind that products that contain oils can create a barrier between your skin and sunless tanning products.  If you choose to use something oily, remember to apply it a couple days before your tanning product.

Over Spray Extraction

So, what's all this hype about extraction fans and booths?  Do you really even need one?  Well if you are spraying more than a couple people a day I would definitely say yes.  If you spray in a pop up tent, an extraction floor fan fits nicely in the back of your tent.  If you have a room that you're spray tanning in, extraction booths work well and look super professional!

Extraction fans will greatly increase the air quality of the air you and your clients are breathing.  Extraction fans suck up the spray tanning solution that is left in the air and pull it into a filter.  No more spray tan techs with bronzer in their noses!  Having extraction fans will also help to keep your tent or room a lot cleaner. They will greatly reduce the amount of over sprayed solution on your tent sides or walls!

Spread the Word!

Just opened up your very own spray tanning business?!  Now.. how do you get people in the door?  That can be as simple as word of mouth advertising!  It's the simplest, most effective, and cost efficient way to get people talking about your business!

So you take a couple people you know, the kind of people that other people notice (Students, waitresses, bar tenders.. these sort of people in the public eye work well!), and you give them a fantastic, gorgeous spray tan at no cost to them.  You hand them a few flyers or business cards,  and when everyone is raving to them about how great their skin looks.. they hand them your card!  Another great way to get people into your spray tanning business is to offer free tans, or discounted tans when they refer friends!  One idea that works well is refer 5 friends, and get a free tan!  It really gets people motivated to bring others to you!

What is Spray Tanning?

What exactly is spray tanning anyway?  Well that answer is simple! Spray tan is an alternative to UV tanning, which will cause your skin to appear tan, without being exposed to UV rays!

A spray tanning tech applies spray tanning solution to your skin with an airbrush or HVLP spray tanning machine.  This solution contains DHA which is derived from plant sugars. DHA reacts with the outer, dead layer of your skin, causing the tanned appearance! Because the DHA only reacts with the dead skin, your tan will fade as your skin is naturally sloughed off!

Spray Tanning and Body Jewelry

It seems these days that everyone has something pierced!  Weather it be the ears, belly button, or other random body part. Can you still recieve a gorgeous professional spray tan while wearing body jewelry?

The answer is yes!  If you have a new piercing, it is advised you wait for it to heal before receiving a professional spray tan so you don't run any sort of risk for infection.  If the piecing is new, and you really can't wait to get that gorgeous glow, you can cover the piercing with a fun sticker so you have a cute tan line!  For piercings that are fully healed, you can definitely spray tan.  You do not need to remove the jewelry, but keep in mind that if you don't wear it all the time, you could have a tan line from where the jewelry was! 

HVLP Too Loud?

Want to add spray tanning to your salon or spa, but worried about the added noise of HVLP equipment?  Kahuna Bay Tan has the solution! We offer a noise reduction quiet box, that is a perfect addition to any spray tanning business!

The noise reduction quiet box will fit most HVLP spray tanning equipment! This box is insulated while at the same time still allowing proper ventilation to your tanning system. It will greatly reduce the noise emitted from your machine. This quiet box even has wheels so you can move it to different rooms in your spray tanning business!  It also has storage to hold your spray tanning solutions!

Quick Fix Spritz

After using sunless tanning solution, we tend to lose color fastest on our hands and face. This is because these areas of our body get washed the most, and are more exposed to the elements.  A great way to solve this problem is by using a touch up spray! You can even label our touch up spray as your very own retail product!

Touch up spray is a great little spray bottle containing sunless tanning solution!  You simply spritz it onto a cotton ball or makeup sponge and apply to the face, hands, or anywhere that needs a little extra color! Our touch up spray smells great and contains a light instant bronzer so you can see where it is applied.  Let it develop as you would any solution and you will have perfect even glowing skin!  Touch up spray also works on any areas that didn't develop with the rest of your body! 

Winter Glow

Winter months are fast approaching!  This can be a great time to get rid of that off the beach look, and switch to a lighter spray tanning solution!  Many lighter shades of solution can help you have a healthy, natural looking glow, without looking like you live in the tropics!

Keeping a natural light tan in the winter makes your skin look young and fresh!   Subtle tans also look amazing in photographs!  Keep glowing year round, but lighten it up with a light shade of spray tanning solution!
