Choose Equipment That Suits Your Business
Your equipment should work as hard as you do.
For mobile technicians, a lightweight portable system gives you the freedom to take appointments wherever your clients are. For salons and high-volume businesses, a professional HVLP machine provides reliable, smooth application and the control needed for a premium client experience.
Our professional equipment range includes the portable iTan Go, the salon-ready iTan Luxe, professional spray guns, tents, extraction options and the accessories needed to keep your business running.
You do not need to buy everything at once. Start with a quality machine, the right solutions and your essential prep products, then build your kit as your client base grows.
Professional Solutions Your Clients Will Love
Great tanning businesses are built on repeatable results.
Black Magic Tan’s professional solution range lets you tailor each tan to your client’s skin tone, undertone, occasion and desired colour.
Our solutions are developed for beautiful colour, comfortable application and dependable results.
Choose from two trusted professional ranges:
Vibe
Vibe is ideal for clients who want instant colour, fast development and high-impact results. With brown, green and violet base options, it gives technicians the flexibility to create a personalised finish for a wide variety of clients.
Argan Tan
Argan Tan is our skin-focused professional range, created for natural-looking colour with a beautifully hydrated finish. It is a favourite for technicians who want reliable, wearable results with a premium feel.
From natural medium tans through to rich ultra-dark results and rapid formulas, you can create a tailored service that keeps clients coming back.
Build a Business Around Your Lifestyle
A spray-tanning business can be as flexible or as ambitious as you want it to be.
You might start with a few after-hours appointments each week, offer mobile tans around your local area, work from a dedicated home space, or add tanning to your existing salon services. As your confidence and bookings grow, you can expand your hours, create packages, sell retail aftercare and build a loyal client base.
Many successful technicians begin with one simple goal: deliver a great tan, create a great client experience and make rebooking easy.

What Could Your Spray Tanning Business Earn?
Your income will depend on your pricing, location, expenses and how many appointments you choose to take. However, even a small number of regular bookings can become a meaningful extra income stream.
The example below uses an average service price of $60 per spray tan and shows estimated gross income before business expenses.
A few evening or weekend appointments can be a great place to start. As your confidence, client list and rebooking rate grow, you can build the business around the lifestyle and income goals that suit you.
