Rep Power: 17 | Solution mixing I am wondering if anyone mixes 2 different solutions ie...breeze 5 & 9 maybe 1/4 & 3/4. It doesnt have to be those precise measurements or brand. I am just wondering the magic behind it. If anyone has any luck with it I would love to hear from you. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Solution mixing Cali...apparently having only one percentage works for your clients. But having different shades can be marketed well and increase your bottom line. Offering different shades for different prices has helped increase our number of clients as well as our checking account. |

Rep Power: 17 | Re: Solution mixing I also use a 10% solution on almost everyone. Some of you don't understand that this can also be customized. It can be applied very lightly ( this would be the equivalent to your 5% solution )......or.....it can be applied moderately ( this would be the equivalent to your 9% solution ).....or .......it can be applied at full volume ( this would be the equivalent to your 10% solution ) I don't explain this whole process to the clients. I tell them that we have alot of control with what color they can be. I tell them they can have a customized tan that can be light, medium, medium dark or dark tan. Then, based on their skin tone and their desired desired results, I "customize" their tan. It's not hard. My clients think they are getting the same customized tan that your clients think they are getting. I'm assumming Cali and anyone else using 1 solution are doing the same thing. Also, I charge one price no matter what color you are when you come in or what color you are when you leave. $40 if you want to just warm up your skin tone or if you want go dark. |
