Cool Advice Please

I tell my clients over and over again that they need to get the "old" tan off first before getting sprayed again and some still come in with spots of "old" tan they didn't exfoliate off..they still want to be sprayed. What do you do when they show up and they still have tan in spots, especially on the neck area? ...looks like dirt

I know exactly what you mean. I hate when people don't exfoliate properly. I take the time with each client before there spray tan appointment to explain to them how to properly exfoliate. I just explain to them that there tan is just not going to last them as long! If they want the best spray tan they need to follow my instructions.

Re: Advice Please

I also posted a video for my clients to inform them how to properly prepare and maintain their airbrush / spray tan . This has helped some but people still like to take shortcuts. Feel free to check out the video if your interested. http://m.youtube.com/index?client=mv...fhi#/my_videos

Re: Advice Please

I agree with everyone . I am just blunt and explain that it will not look as flawless and I'm not responsible for any issues since they did not properly prep

Re: Advice Please

I give them an instruction sheet, but also when they arrive that way I spray them down with PH balanced exfoliating body spray, have them soak for about 2 minutes & then give them a hand towel to wipe down. This seems to help get those old tan spots off quickly.

Re: Advice Please

But Natalie, you're not concerened that someone will have a reaction to the PH balance / exfoliator product? Dosen't that product irritate their skin since you just had them exfoliate prior to their airbrush tan? If not......what brand are you using?

There was a company a few years ago calling all tanning salons in Sacramento trying to sell a product like that. I read up on it and found they had horrible reviews and a lot of bad reactions.

I use Jamaica Me Tan's product & have never had an issue with anyone having a reaction.
