Description:
Backstage Tanning is southwest Missouri's only mobile airbrush tanning salon. We are a Norvell Accedited Salon (the only one within 250 miles). We are a fully mobile salon that specializes in cancer-free airbrush tans in the privacy of the client's home. We developed a "Text-2-Tan" service where the client can contact us to ask questions or schedule their appointments all by texting. We partnered with the most exclusive salon in southwest Missouri for what we branded "Housewives" Parties. These parties play off of the very successful Bravo TV series "Real Housewives". The parties are catered to be a service first pampering that can include massage, facial, waxing, pedicure, manicure, Shlack nail painting, and of course airbrush tanning. We are seeking additional capital to establish a retail location that we can staff to expand our offerings. We feel that with this location and extended advertising budget we can expand awareness of the dangers of traditional indoor tanning and create a comfort level that a retail location and repetive name recognition can afford. We have experienced significant double digit growth each month since we have opened. We currently advertise in 417 Magazine, Google AdWords, and at local wedding and bridal shops.
