Their canvasses are their clients, their spray guns are their brushes and their formulas are their media. The more artistic side of sunless is a great option for customers, offering the most customizable and flattering cosmetic tans.  From a business side, you can also think of it like any form of art. Quality paintings and other artworks demand high prices at sale because of the talent involved, not because it costs much to make the product. The same is true of handheld spray tanning: You\u2019re able to command higher margins with a lower financial investment because you\u2019re charging for skill.  Automated spray booths require a larger investment in equipment, while handheld spray is more of an investment in education and employees. It might be easier to buy a booth and let it rake in the cash, but the relatively small financial investment in handheld equipment and training allows you to recoup your investment nearly immediately.  Because handheld spray tans are very different experiences than booth sprays, they also allow you to expand into a whole new clientele and push current spray tan clients to a higher-margin sale. The customizable results and \u201ccelebrity appeal\u201d of the handheld services will undoubtedly be more attractive to certain segments.  \u201cIf you don\u2019t have it in your salon you are missing out on an amazing service for your clients and doing a disservice to them, because airbrush tanning is very in,\u201d says Blue Palm Tanning owner Christine Rich. \u201cKim Kardashian does it. All the celebrities do it. The first thing one cheerleader said when I popped open my tent was \u2018this is so cool. It\u2019s exactly like I saw from the celebs on Snapchat.\u2019 It\u2019s a feel-good thing. I think if you\u2019re in the beauty industry, your goal is top make them feel like their own celebrity.\u201d  Click here to read the entire article in the latest issue of Smart Tan Magazine online.\u00a0"}
