That might not be such a good idea for the both of us LOL :hug:
Likewise what would it look like if you are a Couture trainer using another brand...may lead to even more confusion
So many problems with tanning

Whyyyyyyyyyyy on earth would you waaannttt to mix them all together??
I think that some of the problem you are having may be with your routine, you say that you 'spray twice down the leg' for example..
I dont count the number of sprays I do, I just spray across whatever bit i'm doing until it's covered and then I repeat in the opposite direction to ensure even coverage.
What if the client is larger than most? surely 2 sprays down the leg wouldn't be enough to cover the whole area??
How much solution are you using per client on average?
How close to them are you spraying?
I mixed them because the sample bottle wasnt enough to cover a full body! No big deal as i would never do that with a client!
Obviously if the client had larger legs i would spray more on to cover the leg! I dont really know how much solution i use per client i know i can get around 25-30 tans out of a bottle.
I do spray pretty close to their skin and usually keep the same length on the whole body
I could have sworn tantrick send out at least 100mls if not more in sample sizes? Or have I really lost the plot? Thats usually enough for at least 3 tans....unless you have the busy bronzer style machine with the big cups maybe?
Its a shame you werent aware of how important cleaning your gun etc was when you originally trained, however at least you know these things now nothing like learning from our mistakes. Am sure Couture will go over all these things with you before you become a trainer for them

Nope 50ml sample bottles are sent out..with now 7 different solutions plus two from the recent acquisition of the Tandare brand that makes a total of 9 different solutions and with over 100 sample requests a week that's a serious amount of solution getting gobbled up as samples.
Most therapists manage to apply a full body with this amount :hug:

I can almost get 2 tans out of a Tantick sample, would get 2 if my pipe sucked up all the solution in the cup but it wont...
Still dont see what you gained by mixing them even if you were only spraying your mum? You arent getting a true sample of the colour...

Like i previously said i mixed them because 1 sample wasn't enough my pipe was not sucking up anything and nothing was spraying out so i had to add more

Hi
When you have small samples to try, put the smaller bottle inside your solution cup and make sure your pipe goes inside the smaller bottle. That way you can try any samples. HTH:hug:

It really is good practice to clean your gun once a week. I clean my cup after every spray tan and when it's not in use i fill it up with warm water and leave it in the cup till i next use it. I then completely take my gun apart every Saturday and give it a good clean. You'd be surprised what can get in there!
I'd also like to say that to me, spraying with the arms up in the air is probably not a good position either.
I have had trainers come to my salon and done sample sprays. Whenever anyone has sprayed people and had them put their arms in the air then i have found that the arms usually don't get covered very well!
If it works for you then that's fine .
I do have a booth though and they have a 3 inch step to climb. I'm only 5 foot 4 so if i have someone quite tall in my both then i would really struggle to spray their arms if they were above their head.
I find it easier to do it with their arms as in Tonilee's tutorial or in the tantrick training manual as you can see exactly where it is going and you can keep the gun at a good angle

What an ingenious idea. I've had some Tantrick sample bottles for MONTHS, unable to try them out because my gun won't suck up anything below about 50ml. I wanna try it NOW xx

Hi Hun
what product are you using is it a new product that you have never used before? does it have a guide colour? do you check them after you sprayed them 'out of the tent'? did they apply moisturiser before the tan? did they exfoliate before hand? it could be many reasons, and if it is happening to all your clients then maybe its the solution you are using or it even may be your gun. Not 100% sure on the best machines out there but im sure the geeks on here do :green:, what make is it?x

Blimey how many samples must there be hiding in theropists cuboards around the country right now :lol::lol::lol:
Good idea Julie (julesgems) would have never thought of that idea....can see hundreds of therapists around the country madly digging about the place thinking"dam good idea there from Julie...now wheres them samples I got 5 years ago...about time I gave them a go...after all the rep from the company has been asking me for five years have I tried them as yet....Thank you Julie your a life saver as beginning to run out of excuses to tell that rep why I haven't had the time to try his stuff:lol::lol: :lol:

Great idea Julie! would need to be careful not to jolt the cup too much though or it would be spilling out into the main cup. I will try it this way next time :green:

Violet sweetie I am going to make you a book on 'don't try this at home' :lol:
I did the tea and coffee once when I was little ...oh it was YUK! I then made one for my boss once who was a bit of an ar** and used to tip the cup of tea i made him down the sink and tell me to make him another
As long as you dont put it in your tanning gun though,you should be fine :lol: :hug: xxxx
