The "Overwhelmed Onboarding" Problem

Juggling paper waivers and consent forms for UV exposure and skin sensitivity eats into your peak tanning hours, leading to bottlenecks during high-demand afternoon slots

Manual scheduling leads to double-bookings and frustrated first-timers

Chasing down Fitzpatrick skin type info via phone calls wastes staff time on the floor, pulling them away from guiding clients through optimal tanning protocols

Inconsistent welcome emails mean clients forget their next glow session

Tracking spray tan package sign-ups manually causes billing mix-ups and lost revenue from missed add-ons like bronzer upgrades

No automated post-session skin care tips, like moisturizer routines or sun protection advice, means clients don't build loyalty habits for sustained glow maintenance

Unlock Tangible Time and ROI Wins

Slash Onboarding Time by 80%

Slash Onboarding Time by 80%: No more hours spent on manual forms for skin assessments or UV consents. Our system auto-fills digital waivers and schedules tanning sessions via client apps, freeing your team for hands-on glow consultations. Picture this: a new client books a spray tan online, signs Fitzpatrick-based consents en route, and arrives ready—saving you 10-15 hours weekly while cutting no-show rates in half through instant reminders.

Boost Retention with Smart Follow-Ups

Boost Retention with Smart Follow-Ups: Automated emails with personalized skin tips—like post-tan hydration schedules and UV protection reminders—keep clients coming back for their next session. Here's the thing: tanning studios using our setup see 25% higher repeat visits within the first 90 days. It's like giving every client their own personal glow coach, turning one-off UV sessions into monthly membership glow-ups without extra staff effort.

See ROI in Under 3 Months

See ROI in Under 3 Months: You're probably thinking about costs—fair. We deliver measurable savings: reduce admin overhead by $2K monthly on tanning package tracking, while upping upsells like premium lotions and accelerators by 20%. Efficiency gains compound, like a perfect base tan building layer by layer, owning your client flow instead of renting fragmented booking tools.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, we'd spend afternoons chasing paperwork for new clients' skin sensitivity waivers, and half forgot their follow-up UV sessions. Now, everything's automated—digital consents sign via app, and we've cut no-shows from 15 to 3 a week during peak summer months. My front desk staff actually gets a lunch break to focus on client glow-ups now."

Sarah Jenkins

Owner, Glow Haven Tanning Studio in Austin, TX

"I was skeptical about custom AI for our busy salon, but after a quick two-week setup, our client onboarding went from chaotic emails to a smooth app flow with auto skin type logging. Last quarter, retention jumped 28% because personalized post-tan tips on moisturizers make clients feel seen and coming back for more. It's saved us about 12 hours weekly on the floor—no exaggeration, especially during holiday rushes."

Mike Rodriguez

Operations Manager, SunSpot Tanning Salons chain in California

"Manual scheduling was killing our vibe during busy seasons with back-to-back booth bookings. AIQ built a system that auto-assigns tanning beds based on logged Fitzpatrick skin types and integrates seamlessly with our CRM for package renewals. Revenue from loyalty spray tan packages is up 15% since January, and my team loves the reduced stress during high-volume weekends."

Founder, Bronze Bliss Tanning & Wellness Studio in Seattle

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Mapping

We dive into your salon's daily flow—talk waivers, bookings, and client quirks—to map a custom automation blueprint. No cookie-cutter stuff; it's tailored to your peak hours and package deals.

Step 2

Build and Integrate

Our engineers code your AI system, linking it to your tools like Mindbody or Vagaro. We test with real scenarios, like a client's first tan quiz triggering instant scheduling.

Step 3

Launch and Optimize

Go live with training for your team, then monitor for tweaks. Expect full ROI tracking from week one, ensuring your onboarding shines brighter than a fresh tan.

Common Questions

How does this automation handle different skin types for safe tanning?

Great question—we tailor the AI to include Fitzpatrick scale assessments right in the onboarding quiz. Clients answer a few quick questions about their skin history, and the system auto-recommends bed types or session lengths. It integrates with your equipment logs to flag any risks, ensuring compliance and safety. For example, fair-skinned newbies get gentler intro plans. This not only saves time but builds trust, reducing cancellations. Setup takes about a week, and we train your staff to oversee it. Overall, it's like having an extra safety coach without the manual checks.

Will this work with my existing salon software like Vagaro?

Absolutely, we're pros at seamless integrations. We connect our custom AI directly to Vagaro or whatever you're using—Mindbody, Zenoti, you name it—via secure APIs. No data silos; client info flows instantly from booking to onboarding. Think of it as weaving your tools into one smooth fabric. We've done this for dozens of salons, so we handle the quirks, like syncing package redemptions. Post-integration, you'll see a unified view, cutting errors by 90%. If your setup's unique, we map it first—no disruptions during build.

What's the timeline for seeing ROI from this onboarding automation?

You're probably eyeing the bottom line—smart. Most salons see payback in 2-3 months. We start with quick wins like auto-reminders slashing no-shows (saving $500+ monthly in lost slots). Then, retention boosts from personalized tips add up—expect 20-30% more repeat visits. We build in ROI trackers, so you monitor hours saved (aim for 15/week) and revenue lifts. One client hit breakeven in six weeks by upselling lotions during onboarding. It's not hype; we baseline your current metrics first to prove the gains.

How customizable is the system for my salon's branding and flow?

100% custom—it's built for you, not a template. We match your branding: colors, logos, even tone like 'Get your glow on!' in emails. Workflow-wise, we adapt to your process—maybe auto-send a pre-tan skincare guide or flag VIP clients for perks. During discovery, we shadow your team to nail the details, like handling group bookings for events. No rigid paths; if you want tweaks for seasonal promos, we code them in. Result? A system that feels like an extension of your salon, boosting that member-focused vibe without extra training headaches.

Do I need tech-savvy staff to manage the automated onboarding?

Nope, we design it user-friendly for your front-desk crew. The dashboard is simple—think drag-and-drop for minor edits, with AI handling the heavy lifting like form routing. We provide a quick 2-hour training session, covering basics like viewing client progress. For tanning specifics, alerts pop up for things like 'Client needs patch test reminder.' If issues arise, our support team's on call. Salons tell us it's easier than their current apps, freeing staff for client chats instead of data entry. Long-term, it scales as you grow, no IT hires needed.

How does this improve client retention in a competitive tanning market?

Retention's everything in wellness, right? Our AI personalizes from the start—think tailored aftercare emails based on session type, like 'Moisturize after your level 5 bed!' This builds habits, turning curious walk-ins into regulars. Data shows 35% higher loyalty when onboarding feels bespoke. We automate nurture sequences, like birthday glow discounts, integrated with your CRM. No more forgotten clients; the system tracks engagement and flags at-risk ones for a quick call. It's like nurturing a plant—consistent care yields stronger roots, directly tying to your bottom line.
