Rep Power: 0 | TWO COATS LOWER DHA, OR ONE COAT HIGHER DHA? Hi everyone - Just wanted to get some opinions from those of you that have been in the spraying business for a while. For clients that want to be a little on the darker side, do you prefer to spray them with 2 coats of say a 9% DHA spray, or just one coat of a 12% spray? I've heard some mixed reviews - - some people say that it's better to spray one coat of the higher, because multiple coats sometimes cause blotchiness or build up. Others say they only have a need to carry one DHA level of spray and do multiple layers. What has been your experience? Do you have a preference? Thanks! |

There is no "caking" on of product when spraying someone twice if it's sprayed correctly. I spray them, let them dry for a few minutes & spray again. They get a nice even tan with the darker color they were looking for. I always skip the hands, feet & face on the 2nd coat to avoid those areas getting too dark. |

One even application is all thats needed, or wanted unless your doing contour or enhance spraying. As far as turning orange, keep in mind that you can always blend the solutions to get the exact DHA% for your client that gives them the desired darkness without the orange that everyone dreads!!! In fact, "blended" solution tanning will set your business apart from the other wantabes down the street who just pour and spray. Not trying to offend anyone here, just do it cheaper, better, and more effeciently than the compitition!!! Have a good day! :) |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: TWO COATS LOWER DHA, OR ONE COAT HIGHER DHA? I have found that one coat of 13% on myself turns out a dark colour, but not really a deep tan. I think two coats would be required for a deeper tan, but Im scared to try two coats of 13%. I might give it a go with two coats of 10% and see how that goes. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: TWO COATS LOWER DHA, OR ONE COAT HIGHER DHA? How long should you let them dry between coats? I'm going to be using Sjolie. And how light of a coat are we talking? I use a maximist (reg. gun)...does anyone have any idea how many turns the proper "light" coat would be? |
