Appointment Reminders for Tanning Salons That Maximize Bed Utilization
SchedulingKit helps tanning salons keep beds in use with an email confirmation for every session and, on Standard and above, SMS reminders for clients who opt in. Send spray tan prep 24 hours ahead (exfoliate, skip moisturizer, wear loose dark clothing), add a two-hour reminder for after-work slots, and let clients reschedule from the link so the freed bed reopens for booking. On Pro, sell monthly memberships whose remaining sessions members can check in the client portal.

What Happens Without Tanning Salons Appointment Reminders
These are the costly problems that automated reminders eliminate
Spray tan appointments require prep time and product mixing that is wasted when clients do not show up
Monthly membership sessions go unused because members forget to book, reducing perceived value and increasing churn
Short session windows mean a single no-show leaves a bed empty for only 20 minutes but that lost slot cannot be resold
Clients arrive without following pre-tan preparation steps, leading to streaky results and complaints
Peak-hour slots after work are the most valuable and the most likely to be forgotten by busy clients
How SchedulingKit Reminders Work for Tanning Salons
Purpose-built reminder features that solve the specific challenges tanning salons face
Session Reminders
Set reminder timing per service, such as 24 hours before spray tans and 2 hours before peak after-work bed sessions.
Memberships and Packs
On Pro and above, sell monthly memberships as recurring packages through Stripe, or session packs. Members see remaining sessions in the client portal.
Pre-Tan Preparation Tips
Reminder text is set per service, so spray tan reminders can cover exfoliating, skipping moisturizer and wearing loose clothing.
Reschedule Link
When a client cancels or reschedules from the link in the reminder, the freed bed time reopens on your booking page so another client can book it.
