I would think it wouldnt be too dark, but one thing that concerns me is that if you having to do two coats on people thats using up twice as much as your lotion on one person? Which means you would be earning enough?x

Hiya

When I did my Tantrick training, we were told to do 2 coats! This usually takes about 40-50 ml per person per tan.

Yup I've always done two to make sure I give an even coverage, takes me ten minutes max to do a full body(cos I times it the other day and coudn't believe how quick it was!). I use very little solution as I have finally got my machine set how I like it and get virtually no overspray so it all goes on the client.

when you say two coats, do you mean like start at back nr shoulder and work your way to bottom of back other side, then re trace your steps so to speak, ?? so you end up again at shoulder area?

I have only ever done one coat and always achieved an even coverage without any problems. Hoever, at my recent Tantrick training I was taught to do 2. If I can do a good job with one coat, why waste solution?

I only do 1 coat on face, back and torso but go over the arms and legs and chest twice.

Most people like deeper legs and arms (I think a natural tan is different all over the body anyway).

I use Sienna and I give my clients the option of one or 2 coats although I find I achieve even coverage with one coat some people like the option of 2 and I charge more for that 2 so your making up for the extra solution used etc

I would spray vertically up and down the back from left to right ... and then back again vertically right to left ... and the same for the rest of the body. It works for me!

Its standard with Tantrick to do two coats, Im not sure why you were told otherwise.
It give optimum even coverage.
It does not waste solution as has been said before per tan you should only be using 40-50 mls tops (unless you have only just trained of course!! Its natural to use more then!!) particularly when used with a tantrick minimist, which gives a fine spray and leaves next to no over spray.

It's alway best to make sure you have covered everwhere, plus if the client is happy with the coverage they will come back
