Clients that don't hold color! - tanTALK

bronzedboodie · 06-10-2011, 04:36 PM

I have two clients that have super pale skin and no matter what I use, no matter how much solution I use they don't get really dark! It's so frustrating. I have two clients like this and I have tried 5 different solutions and can't win. I have told these two girls I don't know what to tell them. Anyone have this problem, if so any suggestions?

They need to double dip. They need to tan in tanning bed and use sunless both. That will do it. I have one like that and it took a month for her to build up her tan in bed and booth it in the Mystic Tan booth.

Super pale skin wont get really dark, it turns orange. I agree, the uv tanning then spray tanning does help alittle to get darker! Hope you get it worked out!!

I have to disagree with that. Super pale skin does get dark. It will only turn orange with too much DHA applied. I have snow white pale clients obtain beautiful rich tans from specific solutions. You just have to be careful on what solutions work. It's all eductating yourself and trial and error.

Double dipping however, will turn a pale client orange! Less is more remember that. And NEVER double dip or over apply pale clients, ever.

What solutions do you use for your really pale clients to give them a dark tan?

If these clients arent used to sunless tanning it will take a few sessions for their skin to get used to the solution keep tanning them and they will start getting darker. It could also be their skin type oily skin results in a lighter tan I would try doing a ph balancing spray will help remove oils and debri. I use sjolie and works very well for my very fair skin clients. Hope this helps.

The terms "super pale", and "really dark" are open for personal opinion for sure. However ive never been able to make type I skin look like a deep tropical tan no matter what solution ive used, and ive used most of them at one time or another. The dreaded orange tan we hear about and avoid is usually due to attempting (unsucessfully) to get that deep tan with that type I skin. Sometimes you just cannot give them what they think they want. A lighter tan is always preferred over the dreaded orange i wanna be darker tan!! In my opinion only!!

I have had a couple of clients that do not hold color.. They exfoliate and do everything they are supposed to but as soon as they wash the first time it comes right off! :( I don't know what to do! The main girl has dry skin ... and she is around 50 years old. I don't know if any of this has anything to do with it but I'm in need of help
