The opportunity

A high-profit service in a small space

Teeth whitening needs a chair, an outlet, and 15 minutes. It fits beside the services you already offer and adds a new reason for clients to book.

Your clients already trust you with how they look. A brighter smile is the natural next service, and because every session uses a sealed, single-use kit, your cost is the same every time and your profit is easy to predict.

In this lesson you will learn
The profit in every session
How to price and present your service menu
Where whitening fits in your business
How to market your service locally
Your first 30 days, week by week
How to choose your starter package

Chapter I

The numbers behind every session

Every session has the same simple math. Your client pays $99, the kit costs $16, and you keep $83.

$83 per session, before the add-on

Why Pre-Filled earns more per hour: at 15 minutes a session you can see up to 3 clients an hour, about $249 in profit, while 1 Paint-On session takes about 45 minutes.

Chapter II

Pricing your menu

Keep your menu short, clear, and premium. Clients choose faster when there are only a few options.

Sample service menu

Teeth Whitening

Express Whitening Most popular
Pre-Filled LED session, 15 minutes under the light.
$99
Signature Whitening
Paint-On session, 3 rounds, about 45 minutes.
$99
bluminerals Finish

$25
Take-home care

Retail
Add value, not discounts
Keep $99 as your price. For a promotion, include the bluminerals finish or a take-home product instead of cutting the session price.
Show the shade guide
Let clients see their starting shade before they book. The visual sells the session for you.
Offer it at checkout
Ask every client, "Have you tried our teeth whitening?" A brochure on the counter starts the conversation.
Sell gift certificates
Whitening is an easy gift for birthdays, weddings, and the holidays.

Chapter III

Where whitening fits

BleachBright dealers add whitening to almost any appearance or wellness business. Here are the most common.

Salons and spas
Add it to the service menu and book it next to hair, nails, or facials. Clients are already in the chair.
Tanning and lash studios
A quick 15 minute add-on that pairs with services clients book every few weeks.
Mobile and events
Bring the LED whitening light to bridal parties, gyms, and pop-up events.
Standalone studios
Build a whitening-first business with back-to-back Pre-Filled sessions.

Questions dealers ask

Business FAQ

Do I need a special license?

Your client does every step that touches their mouth, so BleachBright whitening is offered as an over-the-counter cosmetic retail product and you charge sales tax on it. This makes it technically "self-administered" and how you are able to offer it legally without being a dentist. You guide them through the entire process. Check with your city or county for any general business license your location needs.

How much space do I need?

A comfortable chair, an outlet, and room for the LED whitening light. Many dealers use a corner of their existing room.

How fast do I earn back my package?

It depends on your bookings. The 10 client kits in the Quick Start Package are $990 in sessions at $99 each.

What if a client is not happy?

BleachBright stands behind its products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We guarantee 2-8 shades whiter in 15 minutes. If you have to refund for a client, we replace it on your next order.

How do I reorder?

Order client kits and bluminerals any time on www.BleachBright.com or call 866-700-3772.
