The Economics
It's relatively inexpensive to get into airbrush tanning as a business. The equipment and starter products run typically from $500 to $2,000, depending on quality and amounts of products included. If you plan to travel to take advantage of hands on training then that also will be part of your start up costs. If you intend to learn from a video or CD, then you must factor in the time and material cost of your learning curve, as well as the "goodwill" of your many "guinea pigs." read more >>

What About Training?
As with the DHA solution, there are many "flavors" of airbrush tanning training available, from video tapes to hands on training with real live bodies. If we had a dollar for every time we have heard over the phone "Oh I wish I had known about you and your training before I did this, that or whatever" we could quit working and retire this afternoon. read more >>
