Best tips and tricks...

Ok, so I've noticed that I am by far not the only newbie to spray tanning here and that there are also alot of seasoned pros, and I know just like in anything there's are invaluable little time savers, tips and tricks to be found as you grow and learn and I wondered if some of you long time pros would be so kind as to dispel some of your knowledge on us fledglings???

So come on, top things you didn't know in the beginning that you couldn't imagine working without knowing now?

Re: Best tips and tricks...

Don't buy cheap solution , educate your customers, wear the tan where ever you go and NEVER stop telling everyone you see that you do spray tanning .

1-practice with water in your machine to start with. spray on a large piece of cardboard. it show up wonderful.

Hehe, funny you mention the wearing the tan part....I'm working on that, but my hubby is scared to death to spray me! LMAO So I'm going to have to figure out some way to be able to spray myself, I did it this morning and I think I did a pretty decent job, I'm still waiting for the DHA to fully devolp before I pass complete judgement! LOL Apprentaly that's one of the issues with being a one man band doing something like this!

I did spray hubby tho and he looks super good, I called Chris at TBT and asked him a few extra questions about my equipment and between what he told me and the great suggestions I've gotten here, practicing this time around went SO much better!

Anyone else tan themselves and are there any good tricks to doing it?

Re: Best tips and tricks...

Been doing spray tan for over 5 years, I can't do it! My hubby won't spray me either. Once I was so desperate. I went to one of the salon locally that carry my product and offerend to do some "free training" for thier new employess and offered to be the model. lol

Re: Best tips and tricks...

I'm really thinking with some practice I could do it well, my chest, face and belly all came out really well and my legs I didn't move quite fast enough but honestly, they are really passable, my arms turned out pretty good and I didn't attempt to actually spray my back so much as I sprayed OVER it and let the over spray hit me. All in all it's a pretty decent job and honestly, much better looking than any booth tan I've ever gotten,LOL.

My hubby's color is really developing now and MY! is he dark! LOL I thought I had seen him pretty naturally dark before, but this is the darkest I've seen him! LOL Looks good though, I'm kind of excited for him to go to work tomorrow and his co-workers see him, being in a SMALL town, it should be pretty good advertising....
