Today we’d like to introduce you to Kambri Preciado.
Kambri, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
While working in Dallas part-time doing airbrush spray tans and getting residency for dental school- I came up with the idea of mobile spray tans and teeth whitening. Everyone loves convenience, and not having to leave the house is a win-win! I started up Bring Me Bronze, using my dental background for my mobile teeth whitening service. I did a lot of research, finding the best whitening gel that would give great results but not make teeth overly sensitive and avoid any pain associated with whitening! I also tested out many tanning solutions, settling on a few great options- including a rapid solution that clients can rinse off in as little as 1-3 hours instead of the classic 8 hours a normal tan usually takes. And so the perfect combo of teeth whitening and tanning- all at home, was born. I have focused on providing the best tanning experience possible, down to the tiniest details always ensuring a flawless tan every time! Since starting, word has spread fast and now Bring Me Bronze is booked and busy, ranking 5 stars on Google and with a strong local fan base!
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Building a business from the ground up is always a challenge- however, it has definitely been worth it! I get to meet so many people in Dallas through Bring Me Bronze, and it is so fun to collaborate with other businesses in the area on events and photo shoots. The biggest struggle has probably been finding and testing solutions as there are so many to choose from and I knew I wanted to have the very best on the market! My solutions are all natural, cruelty-free and hypoallergenic. Continuing my education and training also keeps me busy as there are always new techniques and ways to improve and I want to make sure I am bringing that talent to life in every tan.
What do you do? What do you specialize in?
With a background in dentistry and a degree in science, I have really educated myself as thoroughly as possible in the chemistry of airbrush tanning as well as teeth whitening. I love to learn and teach, and always do my best to educate clients so that they always have the best tan and teeth whitening results possible!
I am very particular and detail-oriented and so actually I specialize in airbrush tans for photography and partner with a lot of photographers in the area. I love making sure client’s tans are totally natural looking and flawless so that no one would even know you would have a tan! A good spray tan should be one that no one knows you have on.
Being mobile, I also do a lot of group tanning- perfect for bridal parties, girl’s nights in and birthdays. Really just having your tanning artist come to you is such an awesome perk!
Lastly, I am huge on body positivity, which is actually a big part of why I love airbrush tanning- anything that makes you a bit more confident should be given a warm welcome! I love making clients feel beautiful and comfortable in their own skin. I know undressing for a spray tan can be awkward so I make sure to do everything I can do to make my clients feel at home with me- then soon enough they can’t wait to get naked again!
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
I think the opportunity to own and run your own business is so amazing- I am planning on building out a program where I teach others how to start their own tanning business, with tips, tricks, and training on how to be successful! I would love nothing more than to spread the wealth and see others enjoy the experience of running a spray tan business!
