Spray tan pros: booking mobile tans and group sessions
How spray tan pros can take bookings for home visits and group tanning parties: services by format, travel time, places for groups, what clients prepare.
5 min read
A mobile spray tan business lives on two kinds of booking: single tans at the client's home and group sessions before a wedding or a party. Put both on your booking page as separate services: home tans with travel time inside each slot, group sessions as one long slot booked by the organiser. Write the preparation steps in each description, so every client arrives exfoliated and ready, and your evenings fill without a string of messages.
One service per format
On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.
| Service | Example slot | Places | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spray tan at your home | 45 min, including travel | 1 | €40 |
| Studio spray tan | 20 min | 1 | €30 |
| Group tan, up to 5 people | 2 h, including travel | 1 | €160 |
| Bridal party tan | 3 h, including travel | 1 | €240 |
| Express top-up | 15 min | 1 | €20 |
Durations and prices are examples: set your own.
Home visits by area
Make each home slot long enough to drive, set up the tent and pack away. If you cover a wide area, create one service per zone, each open on its own evenings, so you don't cross town between two tans. Clients write the address and parking in the booking note.
Group sessions
A group tan is one long slot with one place: the organiser books it and writes the number of people in the note. Each online booking takes one place, so a group booked person by person would need several slots. Say in the description how much time you need per person and how much space you need to set up.
Preparation in the description
- exfoliate the day before;
- no moisturiser, deodorant or make-up on the day;
- wear loose, dark clothes;
- plan the tan one or two days before the event.
Weekends before events
Thursdays and Fridays before weddings and parties fill first. Open those evenings early and keep a few slots for regulars, booked by you from your list. If you enter their email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file.
Space and safety at home
Ask in the description for a room with space for your tent, a nearby socket and ventilation, and for pets to stay out of the room. The note can carry any allergy the client wants you to know about; ask for health details in person rather than in writing, since the note appears in their calendar file.
Changes and payments
Clients can't move or cancel online: they message you, and you move the booking from your list, to another time or service. Book doesn't take payments or deposits, so say how you're paid. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
