Spray Tan Tips For The Busy Season

By Melissa Weinberg & Susan Brand

We all love the revenue of busy season but also know that it can get very hectic. So to help ensure that your busy season flows smoothly here are some helpful tips from Perfect Glow Sunless:

1) Do a business analysis. Review your sales numbers from your busy season last year, (and possibly the one before that if you were in business) and see if your numbers increased. Measure how many clients you had, how many times they came and what the average sale was.

2)  Review what steps you can implement to increase even more revenue and set sales goals for you and your staff. For example:

  • How many people purchased aftercare
  • How many packages did you sell?
  • Did you try to close the next sale at their session by asking them to book their next appointment before they left?

Try to also come up with some retention programs (Such as punch cards) and work to cross sell aftercare.

3) Evaluate what you could have done differently to increase your sales and set sales goals. Understand the seasons in your business and focus on the heavier times to possibly get you through some of the slower times.

4) Constantly manage your inventory. Schedule a time at least 2x a week for you or a staff member to be responsible for inventory control. If you employ more than 1 person if you do not assign specific tasks then many just think that “someone else” is taking care of it.  We see many spray tan artists fail to manage their stock and get into a panic when they fall low on solution so don’t let that happen to you. This is the time to think about Halloween events, Thanksgiving holidays, Sorority events and many people that are going to be traveling and dont want to show up pale & more. Spray tanning is notorious for being a last minute beauty treatment and many customers try to schedule same day services or walk ins. So you should always be prepared for last minute customers.

(Plus with Perfect Glow Sunless when you order in bulk you get a quantity discount off 3 or more quarts of solution & free shipping over $200 in the US so it pays to stock up!)  You save on product and shipping cost & reduce shipping delays during the holidays.

5) Take time to refresh! This is a great time to brush up your website, fix links that might not work, add new client pictures and your 5 star reviews. If your branding is outdated then refresh your look.  Make sure you have enough marketing materials that are up to date with all of your current services and pricing. Vistaprint is always a great site with discounts to refresh your rack cards and marketing materials.

6) Work on your marketing efforts! You should always be spreading the word about your business and here are some ways to do this:

  • Leave business cards wherever you go and be consistent with this throughout the year.
  • Look into doing a press release to be distributed in your local area and that you can use for marketing.
  • Create events & team up with some other vendors to make it a fun experience. We all have clients that love to shop so this time around the holidays would be a perfect time to get some plans into motion.
  • Design a beautiful FALL basket with your favorite aftercare & fall products (think Pumpkin spice candles) add in some Starbucks or local coffee house gift cards. This is GREAT giveaway to post on social media and to ask your clients to  share your page & promote your spray tan business for a chance to win. Holidays are also a perfect time to make a first impression on new clients so dress up your studio and offer gift certificates to draw new people in.
  • Word mouth is crucial on social media these days, so make sure your Facebook & Instagram posts are created for your target audience. You might even want to use an automated post app that you can use for Instagram (Such as Later) where you can schedule your posts in advance so your time daily is being focused on getting more clients and making your existing ones even happier!

7) Get rid of old inventory that might be expiring, and bring in FRESH products! Clients notice if that same old bottle has been sitting on the shelf, so clean it up and change up your retail area for a fresher look. Bring some pretty fall props in to draw the customer to your retail area. Department stores do this all the time because it works!

8) If you employ staff members have a meeting to get helpful feedback on what they feel can be improved for the busy season. You might consider hiring some seasonal staff, especially if you are anticipating growth in your business. Even consider cross training your employees, such as an assistant or receptionist that can also go over pre and post tan information & train them to sell aftercare at the checkout process so you are freed up from those items.

9) We have been talking about self-care a lot lately, so make sure you pencil this in! Schedule the time that you need for you or your family for mental recharging and FUN and put it in your schedule. It is absolutely necessary & just as important as keeping clients. Don’t forget the old saying that you can’t pour from an empty cup and your client’s love the best version of you 😉 when you feel good and taken care of you can then give more to your business

This is your time to shine! So Plan ahead and have a clear strategy so your business can thrive this busy season.

Voyage MIA names Entrepreneur Melissa Weinberg as a Palm Beach Inspiring Story

Meet Melissa Weinberg of Melissa Weinberg Tanning and Beauty in Palm Beach

Voyagemia Staff

Today we’d like to introduce you to Melissa Weinberg.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I was in the financial industry for most of my career. I always wanted to do something in the beauty industry and since I had experienced skin cancer I felt that spray tanning was the perfect fit. I started spray tanning in 2009 as a part-time mobile spray tan artist. I worked nights and weekends 7 days a week building my company. It took a few years of hard work but I have built my business into a top leading brand in the Sunless beauty industry & regarded as a top Spray tan expert in my field.

I worked on formulating my own product line and in 2014 I introduced my professional line of self-tanning products called Perfect Glow Sunless™. My professional and retail products are used and sold by countless salons, spas and spray tan artists worldwide. I also run my local business Melissa Weinberg Tanning and provide custom airbrush tanning services in the Palm Beach area.

Sunless education is important to me and I founded the Perfect Glow Spray Tan Academy. My academy is top rated and I train spray tan professionals on how to start their own spray tan businesses and improve their skills. I also travel across the US hosting classes as well as in South Florida and offer an online class as well.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Like any entrepreneur, I had to overcome many struggles. One was working 2 jobs and trying to do a career change at the age of 39. Working 7 days a week was not easy while trying to juggle home life but I knew it had to be done and also wanted my salary from my full-time job to fund the creation of my product line.

Eventually, I left the creature comforts of the corporate world (Like a weekly paycheck and full benefits and 401k).

I also handled every aspect of my business for a very long time. Scheduling and spray tanning clients on the service side and on the manufacturing side I did whatever I could to save money. I did my website designs, set up my E-commerce store, and everything from Purchasing, marketing, social media management, sales, customer service and even today I still personally ship all orders.

But I continue to grow and now have added on sales managers and trainers for my brand.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Melissa Weinberg Tanning and Beauty – what should we know?
I am known as the South Florida spray tan expert & I provide custom airbrush tanning on the Palm Beaches. As a company, I am most proud of a few things. First is my product line that I created as a female entrepreneur in her 40’s. I am proof that you are never too old to follow your dreams and can rinse up from starting a brand from scratch without investors or a ton of capital with good old fashion smarts and hard work

All of my products are based off organic and natural ingredients, Paraben free, gluten free, Vegan and cruelty-free. (I am part of PETA Beauty without bunnies program.) My products are truly odorless and there is no foul spray tan smell or heavy scent to mask chemicals as found in many other products on the market.

What also sets me apart is that I truly care about my spray tan clients and have top reviews. When someone comes in for a tan they are going to get a truly personalized experience form someone who cares. I customize the color based on their skin tone and educate them on safe sun. Since I am also an educator I make sure that the spray tan application is precise and the color is flawless. My tans last up to 9+ days and I even offer a rapid option where the client can rinse off in just 1-4 hours!

For my professional salon beauty pros, I strive to give the best service available. and my customer service & products are top rated in the sunless beauty industry. My products were used on the Superbowl 50 Carolina Topcat cheerleaders by their spray tan provider and most recently my spray tan solution was used on Jlo! She was spray tanned by Fabiola the owner of Sobe tan in Miami who exclusively uses my product line.

Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Staying humble. No matter how much success I continue to achieve I will never forget where I came from. I am truly grateful for my spray tan clients supporting me and choosing my services these past years.

As a beauty brand, I feel that customer service is a lost art and I strive to go above and beyond for my customers. I treat them with fairness and appreciate everyone who places an order. My customers are not just a number to me. I am available 7 days a week to help them with anything they need.

For my retail self-tanning line, I feel educating the public in the benefits of safe tanning is important and offering them a salon quality line is important to me. There are many cheap tanning products out there loaded with chemicals with sub-par results and turning people that dreaded orange. I am happy to offer a true salon quality product. It is my same professional spray tan formulations but for home use.

Spray Tan Training Fun on the Road!

Who says that learning can’t be fun?  We’ve been having a great time at our Perfect Glow Spray Tan Academy training classes!
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been on the road with Perfect Glow Spray Tan Academy training program. In that time, I’ve had the pleasure to host spray tan training sessions in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Dallas.  Getting to meet many people from all over the country is one part of this job that I love love so much.  I know that the relationships we formed will continue to thrive for a long time to come!
Perfect Glow Spray Tan Academy: New Orleans

What makes our Academy different? Well, for starters, we provide attendees with specialized attention. I believe in having a great student-to-instructor ratio for my sessions. This ensures everyone gets the attention that they deserve. This is why I’m joined by my trainers whenever I do classes on the road. In New Orleans, I was joined by trainers Rachel Jenkins and Lisa Tobiason.  Together, we provided these lovely ladies with their spray tanning certifications.

Teaching the tricks of the trade to students in Louisiana. They did fantastic!

 

NOLA attendee Deana Byers said that she loved the Perfect Glow Spray Tan Academy course. Deana added, “Melissa and her trainers made sure we were fully informed on all aspects of the business.  The hands-on training was more than I expected.” Deana said she’d recommend Perfect Glow Spray Tan Academy to any sunless technician. “Thank you, Perfect Glow Sunless for the great training!” she added.

Perfect Glow Spray Tan Academy: Dallas
In Dallas, I was joined by Whitney Kelly, one of my Texas Instructors. This group featured students of various skill levels.  Some attendees were beginners while others had existing spray tan/beauty businesses.  Everyone seemed thrilled with the training.  I also provided the experienced spray tanners with some basic contour skills & an extra special technique. They’ll wow their tanners with these Perfect Glow techniques!

 Susan with Joseph from Greensboro NC

Why Choose Perfect Glow Sunless Spray Tan Certification?
For starters, my trainers and I are actually spray tan techs. Who better to train you than someone who does this on a daily basis?  We understand what occurs on all ends of the business. This makes my team qualified to discuss real situations from our personal experiences.
Who Can Benefit from a Perfect Glow Sunless Certification?

It also helps anyone looking to add spray tanning to their service menu. We’ve had a mix of students at all our spray tan classes and everyone has benefited from these sessions in some way.
Facebook Groups Are Not Spray Tan Training!
Are you on 20 different Facebook groups? They are wonderful support tools, but it’s no substitute for proper spray tan training! If Facebook is all you’ve done, it’s time to consider some formal training. Don’t get left behind just trying to wing it. Time is money, and trying to learn your trade on Facebook forums won’t fatten up your bank account!

Why can you turn orange from a spray tan?

 

I’ve been spray tanning South Florida residents, and visitors since 2009. I get many new clients that are nervous & the number one question that they ask me is “will I turn them orange?”  Unfortunately many have had a bad experience in another salon so of course I understand why they are a little scared.

So that brings us to the most popular question (and misconception about spray tanning) Why does someone turn orange from a spray tan ?

Well it is from one of these reasons or a combination of all of them.

1) Using a salon tech or spray tanner not properly trained or being educated or confident on the products they are using . Or they choose a color way too dark for your skin tone. (Someone with Nicole Kidman skin can not be sprayed with the same color Jlo would , nor could they ever get the same results ) Many inexperienced spray tan techs will just give the client what they want without trying to explain how the process works. Especially with first time tanners. I personally start out conservative to make sure the solution works well with their skin tones, and we can always go darker the next session. 

2) A tech just blasting you with solution due to not knowing a proper gun setting & over spraying you (causing over saturation to your skin).

3) The salon is using a cheap solution to save a few bucks (I see it all the time ) & is made with with poor quality or even synthetic dha! (the active ingredient)
I created my own Perfect Glow Sunless spray tan formulas. It’s used by salons & spas worldwide & is a superior product ! The dha I use is the purest formulation available & my solutions have top shelf ingredients ! It may not be the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

4) This where the client comes in to the equation: Not using the right skincare products after they get a spray tan. This messes with body ph which can turn the tan brassy / orange even a few days after getting sprayed !

It’s important that salons get the best training available and that consumers choose a top professional and listen to the salons aftercare product recommendations.

My Melissa Weinberg Tanning & Beauty line was created by me specifically for the best at home tanning products and that will work the best with sunless tanning to give you the best post tan  & optimal results.  Remember that using cheap drugstore products result in subpar results.

Tips to build a beauty portfolio

best spray tan solution

By Melissa Weinberg – Perfect Glow Sunless Inc

I am sure that you have all heard the old saying “A picture is worth 1000 words” Well that being said I am going to discuss tips on how to build a client portfolio. This blog is geared towards sunless tanning but my principles can be applied to many different industries.

Especially for spray tanning having good client pictures is crucial and will help potential clients take that step to book a session. Let’s face it, a common fear for new spray tan clients is that you are going to turn them orange. If I had a dollar for every time I get asked that question I could probably retire ( Just kidding. Well maybe I could book a luxury cruise)

So that being said beautiful pictures of your work can help alleviate that fear. I cannot stress enough that a beautiful portfolio showcasing your flawless tans will help bring in business. I always ask new clients how they heard about me. Most say from my website and that they loved the pictures I had posted (along with reviews but that topic is for another blog)

I see all sides of the spectrum. I get contacted by many new beauty professionals expressing frustration that they have difficulty getting client photos. Then I see many with tons of photos.

Spray tanning is a little different compared to a makeup or hair. Those professionals in many cases can fortunately snap a pic of the finished face or hair whereas a spray tan needs to have time to develop in order to see “true” results. Also being that many spray tan clients are in a bikini, undies or even their birthday suit at their appointment  many are shy to have their picture taken at the actual session. Even though many clients say they will send a picture once the tan has developed the fact is that life gets in the way and many forget.

So here are some helpful tips to help you build your portfolio:

Many clients think that you want a bikini pic. I always stress that I would love to see any pic and it of course does not have to be a bikini pic. Even if it is a picture of them at the dinner table I would love to see!

  • Let’s face it, if you have a busy day or night sometimes you just feel tired and worn out. When backtracking you may honestly forget the reason why your client came in for the spray tan (wedding, graduation, trip, and birthday) and you can get so busy that you forget to follow up. So to help with this, I recommend having a good old fashion pad and paper close by (or many times I make notes next to my client on my iPhone calendar at their session) When they come in I notate the occasion for them getting their spray tan ! This is so simple and makes such a big difference.
  • The next day when I plan my day, I set up a follow up task in the future to contact those client when I know they should have some pictures. I like to email them but you do what you are most comfortable with ( phone, text etc)
  • Are you fb friends? Ask them if they wouldn’t mind if you took some pictures that they are going to post on their page ( Many say yes and it takes the burden off of them for having to remember to send it to you)
  • If the tan was for an event like a wedding many clients think that you just want the professional photos. I always let them know that in the meantime it would be truly appreciated if they can send you some good ones that they took before the pro ones come in.
  • If it is a wedding or formal event ask them who the MUA and photographer is. Many photographers post the pics quick in their blog and if you have the client permission you can always contact the photographer or MUA directly asking if you can share them (Remember as a professional courtesy never remove the other professionals watermark)

Ok! So you applied these principles and now you are rocking & rolling and the pics are flowing in looking great! But….what’s those that have that filter?

When a client sends you a pic ask them not to please not use a filter! In tanning many times a filter can make the tan look orange or yellow when it really wasn’t. If they use a filter and it is altered it is not worth posting. Remember…A bad pic can do more harm than no pic in this case.

Another important element is lightning. I see many spray tan professionals use a camera or cell phone were the flash makes the tan look brassy etc. Always make sure that you are talking your pics in good lighting. If your salon has colored walls (pink for example) that can throw off the lighting. Try to have an area where you can have a neutral backdrop to help the photos look as good as possible.

When you do get the pictures in, before you post it is always a good idea to watermark them whenever possible & I can’t stress this enough!! Unfortunately I have seen many people on instagram stealing other salons work (and it has happened to me as well- totally NOT COOL btw)  For the IPhone an app that I recommend is Ezy Watermark but there are plenty of other ones as well.

So I hope these tips can help you and your portfolio continues to grow.

Happy Tanning – xo Melissa

Mobile Spray Tan Tips

 

Airbrush tanning is increasing in popularity. The work is fun, income is great and it is rewarding to be in the beauty industry and getting to meet so many new people. Many salons now offer a mobile service and many techs starting out choose to be a mobile service only. A benefit of that is that they do not have to pay any rent or lease out a space, So it is a very cost effective option (with the exception of fuel)

I personally started out as a mobile only service. I traveled all across 3 counties 7 days a week and even in the evenings. It was a lot of trial and error to come up with a system that worked well for me to haul all my equipment. Trust me it was difficult lugging all that stuff ( especially up stairs)  and there was many things that I learned. So I wanted to share some spray tan tips to help you all with the process and maybe touch upon some things you might have not though about when starting your mobile airbrush tanning service.

Safety

This is the first thing that I talk about when I train or mentor new spray tanners. Many don’t even think about this but it should be your number one priority. I am not trying to scare anyone but we do live in a world today where this should be a concern & it is important to take safety measures. Especially for a female going into a strangers home or hotel room. Here are some measures and precautions that you should take when scheduling a mobile session

1) Google the person. See if the address they give you matches up to them . Check them out on Facebook to see if they exisit ( I know not everyone is on FB but many are)

2) Speak to them on the phone and get a feel of them. If you get any odd feeling then do not book the appointment. Remember..you have the right to refuse service and always go with your gut. It rarely never fails.

3) Do a reverse lookup of their phone number also to see if they are who they say there are. It may not be 100% accurate ( for example if a cell phone is in another persons name) but I do this and it works pretty good. I personally like the iphone app Lookup+

4) Know where you are going. Map out the location prior, use google earth as well so you do not get lost. If you are uncomfortable bring a friend or family member with you.

5) Provide a family member, co worker, roommate or significant other the address & client information prior to your appointment. This way they have it in case of emergency.

6) When you get to your appointment, go to the door to introduce yourself but leave your gear in the car! This is something I always do. Do not walk up to the door with your spray tent and all of your equipment. This provides a logical reason for you to have to walk back to your vehicle. This way if you get a bad feeling & sense that something is not right you can just get back into your car and leave! if you are standing at the door with all of your things then it can be awkward and you might not know what to so.

Hotels are an exception ( plus many have valet parking) so judge accordingly. If you are very nervous about spray tanning someone in a hotel room bring someone with you or do not book the session. You can also ask someone to call you at a certain time to check in and give a code word to make sure everything is OK.

7) Carry mace or another form of protection. I know many techs that have their concealed weapons permit or take a self defense course.

Hopefully you will never be in a situation where your safety is at risk. But knowledge is power.

 What to carry your equipment in:

I went through a few different systems when starting out and kept changing it up. Here are some ideas for consideration and maybe one of them will work for you.

1) Supermarket shopping cart- ( The metal ones that fold up) This is what i started out using. I know some techs use this as well and can even get creative blinging it out. There is also a cover that can be inserted inside to keep the cart contents concealed.

2) A sewing machine case. You can put a small HVLP machine in that to conceal it and it has wheels.

3) Duffel bag with wheels or a small suitcase.

4) Cargo totes. I love the ones that you can get from 31 gifts & I use this system now. I had mine embroidered with my company name and got additional pieces to match, such as an insulated tote that I use to carry my solution.

Track your miles

This is crucial come tax time! You want to have everything properly documented. I can not stress this enough. Keep a note pad in your car or use an app for your phone, Whatever you do is fine just do not forget to do this.

Get insurance

Do not forget the liability insurance. It is not very expensive and will provide piece of mind. I have heard many stories on how techs dropped solution all over the floor or their machine got over spray on the carpet or rug etc. Make sure you are covered, Hopefully you will never have to use it but at least you will have it.

Bring a backup machine

The last thing you want is to have an equipment malfunction when out on an appointment, (Especially if it is a large bridal party) Not only will you look unprofessional but you will lose revenue & damage your reputation if you can not finish the session. Could you imaging tanning someone and in the middle the gun breaks or the machine overheats and turns off? That would not be good, so I always have a backup machine in the car and carry a backup gun. You can not plan a problem and this way you will always be prepared. You do not need anything expensive, just something is better than nothing in a pinch.

I hope you have found some of these tips helpful. If you are just starting out it is a very exciting time for you and wish you all the best of luck in this amazing industry! Happy tanning…Xo Melissa

Learn How To Spray Tan

So congratulations! You decided that you want to start a career or earn part time income and learn how to Airbrush Tan. Or maybe you are just thinking about it and do not know where in the world to start. Well you have come to the right place. I get many calls and emails every week from people looking to break into the industry wanting to know how to start a spray tan business. With skin cancer on the rise many people today are being more health conscious & trying out airbrush tanning for their Perfect Glow.

Perfect Glow Sunless™ Spray Tan Academy offers different training & consulting packages including an unsurpassed online program! Hands on training locations include Florida, Louisiana and Massachusetts, Texas.

http://learntoairbrushtan.com/

Why learn to spray tan?

  • Great income potential
  • Low start up cost
  • Make money and meet new people doing something fun
  • Provide a service that provides a healthier beauty option rather than sun bathing
  • If you are an exisiting salon, this is another avenue of revenue you can add on
  • If you choose to start a mobile spray tan business you do not have the high cost of retail rent
  • A career that you can make your own hours. Work full time or part time depending on your needs.

 

How much money can you make?

It all depends on your region and going rates. Salons charge anywhere from $35-$75 per session. But for example here are some math calculations on the lower side:

 

And that is not including profit on aftercare sales or factoring in bridal or spray tan parties!

 In some cities mobile sessions can yield $65+ a session.

It is very important that you invest in yourself to get the proper training to build a good reputation from the start. We all know how people like to complain and post about bad service so do not let that happen to you. I have seen many spray tanners over the years try to wing it  and just burst out of the gate running. They get excited, buy a machine, watch some YouTube videos, sample some solution and then start charging customers after only practicing on a few people. They do not take the time to correctly learn the technical end, how to run a business & overlook many major business requirements which causes them to fail very quickly.

If you are an existing beauty business spray tanning is a fantastic extra add on to your menu of services! Why let your clients leave to get their tan someplace else?

We offer hands on training in Florida, Louisiana and Massachusetts & Texas . We can also also travel to you!

For more information on how you can get started in this lucrative career please visit www.learntoairbrushtan.com

How To Prep For A Spray Tan Session

pretan1This is the number one question I get from clients when they book their first airbrush tanning session. There are many factors that go into that perfect spray ( using the best quality spray tan solution such as Perfect Glow Sunless and an experienced salon) but prepping the skin properly will help ensure that your client gets a flawless tan and that it will last. Preparing for the session is extremely important and should never be overlooked. I know when I went into a salon for my first spray tan I was not provided with any instructions ( for either before or after my session) and had to do my own research on the internet. Knowledge is power! The more quality information you can provide to a client the happier they will be with your services and eliminate the chance of any post tan issues.

When your client books their appointment take the time to educate them on how to prep. The last thing you want is a new client walking in without the proper clothes ( Hello skinny jeans & tight yoga pants) I personally have the instructions sent to them through my online booking system, since most of my appointments are booked that way rather then on the phone. If you do not book online then you can direct them to a section on your website, or even email or text it to them. This is something that you should not overlook. Most of the time when a spray tan develops with issues it is because of poor preparation.

That being said here is some information that you should advise your client.

1) It is imperative that they exfoliate the day before or even for a few days leading up to the spray Tan. I recommend that they use exfoliating gloves rather than a washcloth or loofah ( those do not do a great job) and they can buy them cheap at the dollar store, drugstore or supermarket. Have them refrain from a scrub that contains oils unless it is more than a day before the appointment. Oils can leave a film on the skin that can create a barrier and possibly block the spray tan absorption in areas where it remains.That will result in a streaky or patchy tan.  Exfoliation is important so the skin can be a clean even canvas. I always compare it to painting an object. If you are going to paint a piece of wood you always sand it to remove any rough/uneven areas so that the paint will look nice and even. So with spray tanning, if the solution is applied on uneven skin, the older dead skin cells will come off first causing the tan to look blotchy and fade poorly.

2) The client should NOT have on any existing self tanner or remnants from an old spray tan on. This is a huge no no and I see it all too often. I compare this to going for a manicure and they just put new nail polish over an existing chipped manicure. It might look good the first day or from afar, but when you get close up it looks horrible and messy. Im sure if a nail tech did that we would all be livid! Well a spray tan is no exception and is actually worse since its the whole body. Also,when you mix different grades of dha and 2 different products you can not guarantee the color it will turn.

3) The client should do any waxing or shaving at least 24 hours before. Usually when a client complains about streaky legs I ask them when they shaved. 99% of the time it was right before their appointment which was the culprit.  And remember.. no oils, lotions, perfumes or deodorant the day of the tan as they can act as a skin barrier . This can cause streaking, green areas or prevent the color from being absorbed.

4) Ask the client if they are getting sprayed for a special occasion. this is very important!  Most clients and especially brides do not realize that they need to get their manicure and pedicure before the session! I have had so many clients thank me for mentioning this to them so they were able to rearrange their appointments. Also many brides have massages or water activities scheduled for a day or 2 after the tan as part of the pre wedding festivities. I make sure they know that is very harmful for their tan and advise not to participate.

5) Many people think that they should shower to get clean right before the appointment. I highly recommend they do not because when they shower, the steam will open the pores and as a result the skin gets very hydrated. This can adversely effect the tan because then their skin might not absorb all of the solution. This can result in a lighter tan than normal and can cause beading on the skin. When I get a client that is beading with on the chest while I am spraying them they usually tell me that they showered right before their session. It is ok for them to shower in the morning if they have an evening appointment but otherwise tell them not to do it. If the client insists that they must rinse that day, I recommend at least 4 hours before and doing just a light rinse without any soap or body wash (except on the armpits & private areas).

These spray tan tips can assist in your client getting the best spray tan. Remember a happy client is a repeat customer. It is worth the extra effort to make sure that they are educated and properly prepped.

How to use a rapid spray tan solution

 

Perfect Glow Sunless offers 3 rapid tans that salons all around the globe have voted the best spray tan solution on the market. They are paraben free, made from natural ingredients and pull dark color compared to other brands.

Rapid tans are becoming huge in popularity in salons all around the world. People are busy these days (more than ever) & love the convenience of having things done quick & easy without a long wait! So to be able to bring that to the spray tanning industry is a huge benefit. With this fantastic solution the client only has to leave the solution on for just 1-4 hours compared to 7-10 hours. So their are huge benefits to using a rapid tan product.

One of them is that clients do not have to sleep in spray tan solution if getting tanned in the evening. No more feeling uncomfortable for new tanners. They can even sleep on white sheets after rinsing as it wont stain the bedding! Another benefit is that with this premium solution a client can get a tan that morning or early in the day and can rinse in just a few hours. This is a perfect option for moms, business people, or anyone that just wants to be comfortable doing their daily chores or have appointments to attend to. It is especially popular for dancers or athletes that want a tan and have to work out or go to practice that day. This product makes it virtually effortless for anyone to fit a spray tan into their busy schedule.

I get asked by many salons on how they should spray the rapid tans and how they work. Here are my recommendations and some important tips on how to use a rapid spray tan solution :

Spray these blends the same way you do the others as far as the gun setting is concerned . If you are just switching to Perfect Glow Sunless please keep in mind that this is a thinner / water based solution . If you experience any beading or dripping during application that means your gun setting is too high and needs to be adjusted

This is a rinse off gage to advise your client to start off with

1 hour -6%
2 hours 8%
3 hours 10%-
3.5 hours -11%
4 hours -12% -13%

All techs spray differently with various equipment resulting in a different application. So those times may be a little lighter or darker than what I am recommending. But you will know for sure and can tweak it after spraying a few people but I recommend use this guide to start off with.

With the rapid tan products it’s very important to advise your client the following :

1) The rinse off time that is recommended to them is not optional ! If they rinse off sooner it will result in a lighter tan and if they wait too long or forget they risk turning unnatural or too dark for their skin tone.

2) Just like with the regular tan they can’t sweat or get wet until they rinse.

3) They must do a water only rinse when they shower off . NO soaps, perfumes, body sprays, oils or lotions or shaving until the next day as the tan will still be processing.

It’s VERY important to educate the client on how this product works . Please advise your client that some might not have much color after the initial rinse (as the full tan takes 8-10 hours to fully develop ) so to not be nervous and think the tan didn’t take. They should be patient as over the next few hours their gorgeous tan will appear. This is especially important if they are getting it for a same day event ! Advise them that they will have their tan in the 8-10 hours but the color can continue to develop over a 24 hours period. Some clients even say they are a little darker on day 2.

Once they rinse off they can wear whatever they want and it’s ok to sweat or get wet.

I find that with sessions being so quick, even if you explain everything to the client sometimes there is too much information for them to absorb and remember. I highly recommend salons providing a printout or client card with rapid tan instructions and rinse off time indicated to give the client to take home with them. This way they can refresh themselves with all the information at their leisure and to ensure that nothing is forgotten. I also have the client set the timer or alarm on their smart phone prior to leaving the salon. This way its an added measure to ensure that they rinse off at their recommended time and can’t forget.

Turning Green from a spray tan?

This is a question that I get asked my many airbrush tanners and understandably they are freaking out. No one wants to see green on a client rather than a beautiful bronze. This can happen for a few reasons which I am going to discuss here to make you at ease and help you troubleshoot the issue with these spray tan tips..

The first thing is to remember that you should always store your spray tan solution in a cool, dark place under 75 degrees. Many salons use a refrigerator (especially in the warmer tropical climates) and that is OK as long as the solution does not get frozen. In my experience the client turning green is not the result of bad solution, While of course this can happen common sense will dictate that if a client was sprayed with bad solution their entire body would be green. When spray tanners contact me it is usually only a certain area of the body that looks greenish. Bad solution will not “pick and choose” what areas to turn green while being applied to the skin. Also I always train techs should always spray into a paper towel before starting the application. You want to make sure that the cosmetic bronzer looks good prior to starting an application.

Keep in mind that may times you may see a ring of green around the borrle cap or even on the sides of the bottle. This is caused by oxidation, when you take off the cap to pour it gets exposed to air that will cause this effect. Also some techs drip solution down the bottle if they pour fast and forget to wipe it off. This will turn green because it is being exposed to air. This is localized and does not mean the solution has turned. As long as the bronzer looks good w hen spraying in a paper towelrest assured that the solution is good and it is OK to use on a client.

So all that being said…then why does this happen?

Many times while spraying a client you will notice the armpits turning green. This is the most common area and is a result of them having antiperspirant/deodorant on .The DHA turns it green once it comes in contact and just make sure that you advise the client that it will wash off with their first shower and will not effect the final color of their tan.

There are other areas that you can see this with as well and it is a result of the client not properly prepping for their spray tan. Residue on the skin such as sweat, perfumes, lotions and more can turn areas of the body green while spraying them. I recently had a client who didn’t rinse off even the night before and the bottoms of her bum were turning green as I sprayed them, That was due to sweat.

So when this happens, again remember as long as its not the entire body and only certain areas this is a result from poor prep. As good measure you should bring it to the clients attention and give a basic explanation as to why it occurred. Also as mentioned earlier,  ensure that it will rinse off in the shower and not effect the final color, This will eliminate the chance that the client notices it later and you can help prevent a panicking text or phone call.

That is why it is very important to use a prep spray on your client  prior to spraying them client. Many people think that they might have prepped properly that actually haven’t. Using a prep spray can help ensure all residue is removed from the skin to help avoid any issue. You can use any of them with Perfect Glow Sunless.

If you experience this issue when using a self tanning product check the expiration date. However the dha in self tanners can spoil quicker as many people store it in the bathroom and not in a cool area. But if there are only certain areas of your body appearing green it is because you have a barrier on your skin and will come off when you rinse off.

Happy Tanning!
