Stress about airbrush tanning

Okay, so recently we brought in airbrush tanning to our salon. It wasn't supposed to be up and running until this Saturday because I needed to practice on family and friends to make sure I could do it correctly. Well, two ladies called and were desperate to get it done today. I was freaking out, I had to somehow bullshit my way through it. (Good thing I can act), and my mom, Roland, and I worked our asses off to get the room ready. We're talking no sleep, painting non-stop, yelling at each other, major annoyances, problems, everything to discourage us, and we did get discouraged. But, finally we got the bed done by the time the ladies were going to come and get it done. I tried it on my mom, and I did a horrible job the first time, and then a good job the next time. So, I didn't really feel very confident, but I knew I had to do it. It was $50.00 after all, and our salon needs what it can get. So, the ladies came, and I airbrushed them, and granted, I secretly made a few mistakes (that they didn't know about) it still turned out well. I hope it works well for them, they were so sweet, and I got to see two good lookin' ladies nekked !! woo hoo..haha. Anyway, they gave me a $10.00 tip !! YEAH !! And said they'd be back because they loved th service. That's my day...it was a good one. I feel much better now than I did this morning.

Well I would be stressed too. sheesh. But hey I was wondering? When you spray? Do you charge by square footage, because I would be expensive
