Savvy salon operators know that diversification is a key factor in continued success and growth. Created by tanning salon owners, the FIT Bodywrap infrared wellness system can be an extremely profitable addition to any salon’s service menu.
“When developing FIT Bodywrap, we had a unique perspective as tanning salon owners, ourselves,” states Faraje Kharsa, Founder. “We’re proud to continue offering cutting-edge products and equipment that we know will fit seamlessly into a salon owner’s business model.”
An accomplished real estate investor and seasoned entrepreneur, Faraje has founded and operated companies in a variety of industries. In 2001, he founded a very successful chain of tanning and spa service salons which he subsequently franchised throughout California. He earned an accounting degree at Northern Illinois University and a CPA from the University of Illinois.
“Today’s business owners are seeking products that elevate the consumer experience while providing proven results,” said FIT Bodywrap Co-Founder, Managing Partner and Chief Technology Officer, Michel Mikse. “We are dedicated to developing top-tier products that ensure our Certified Providers maximize their success and exceed the ever-changing needs of their salon clients.”
Michel is a trained engineer who has a BS in Computer Engineering and a Master’s Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from San Diego State University, and is also the owner/operator of a tanning and spa service salon chain in southern California. Driving product development at FIT Bodywrap, he is responsible for many of the innovative products that are the foundation of the company’s success. “As a salon owner, I work with real clients every day, which gives me a unique understanding of the FIT Bodywrap client experience,” Michel says.
During a treatment, FIT Bodywrap envelops the body in soothing infrared heat. The user can adjust the temperature zone-by-zone, degree-by-degree – completely customized. A session can be easily self-administered by the client; no salon staff assistance required. The system is T-Max compatible and can interface with salon software. FIT Bodywrap provides free training throughout the ownership of the unit.
When asked about their new technology, Team FIT plays it close to the vest. “There are some things in the works that we can’t talk about yet; but we know 2016 is going to be a very exciting year,” says Faraje. They recently improved the FIT Coat, including a larger size and new comfort features. In addition, they now offer FIT Booster Spray – the key enhancement to all FIT Bodywrap sessions and a daily skin treatment – in a larger, 8oz. size. With a light, luxurious feel, the 360° spray is a scientifically formulated anti-cellulite and slimming infusion. Its potent ingredients help enhance microcirculation, reduce cellulite, stimulate fat breakdown, inhibit accumulation of new fat, and activate detoxification. The moisture-intensive solution will also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and leaves skin feeling refreshed.
Faraje says that their customer support and training are vital to success with FIT Bodywrap. “We provide fresh, new and free training and marketing materials on a regular basis,” he explains. Team FIT is also available for personal, one-on-one consultation with Certified Providers, who can also attend monthly custom webinars. “Our customers love the fact our support team is like an extension of their own company,” Faraje continues. “As you can see, we keep our customers at the forefront of everything we do.”
What’s in the future for FIT Bodywrap? “Our R&D team is hard at work developing new products and enhancing our existing line,” says Michel. “Everything we produce is always better than the last, as we always want to remain the leader in infrared wellness technology.”
