Rolleyes Changing sloutions soon whats ur fave? and whats ur no go and why? - 27-03-11, 06:46 PM

Im currently using puri tan and due to recent events with the company i wont be buying from them anymore.
I do like puri tan , however the fade could be better. I put it down to my skin but when i have asked clients they say there fade isnt the greatest either and also there have been posts on here about the same thing.

Anyway once my puri tan stock is finished i will be changing so i want to look now so i know what to get i have got a few samples to try but i just wanted to find out what you all think.

What do you swear by ? and what would you never buy again? and why?

I swear by Sienna x, I love it and so do my clients and it fades really well too. The customer service is great, they deliver the next day without fail if your order before 1pm and their markting material is great too.

I have never used fake bake but I have heard that their customer service is very poor, so I wouldnt use them!!

I had been using cocobay and white to brown, which are both ok but I wanted a well known name. I have just started using Sienna X, they came to my salon to do a demo and came back with the kit I bought and trained us in the salon.I recently bought a couple of samples from Nouvatan and shall be using that as well as Sienna X. They are both great!

I have used Couture, Urban Tan, Puri Tan and Tantrick (I know, quite a few )

I did like Couture but they only had 2 colours.

I used Urban Tan in the salon I used to work in, nice tan in 4 colours and I believe you were able to mix to produce a custom tan (not sure about this though).

I used Puri tan samples I was given, nice tan but as said, the fade is better on others.

Currently use Tantrick. Fab product, excellent customer service and reasonable pricing. Also they have lots of accessories you can purchase as well as free leaflets for you to promote your business. Lots of different %ages and booster drops. Intelligent solutions and they have 2 seperate solutions which smell lovely.

At the end of the day you need to use the products to know which will suit you and your clientele, so get some samples from different suppliers and see what you think

Hey!

I use LA Tan, I really think its worth you getting a sample, there customer service is great and they always have good offers on.

There are mixed reviews on LA Tan on here, I used a sample of sienna x on myself (16%) and I was dissapointed with the colour it wasnt dark enough and I found it didnt last long!I was expecting it to be better as so many people love this tan!!

Hope this helps x x x

I also use LA Tan, it's great - many different shades for different skin tones, plenty of offers and fab customer service.. and the cheapest I've seen on the market.

Anyone who i've tanned has said it's the darkest they've had and also comes off evenly - i'm not one to rate the 'sun-kissed' look though so this is definitely a tan for those wanting to be dark

I am also an LA Tan user and totally love it. I find their range has something for everyone from sunkissed through to very dark and there are booster drops too. Customer service is fantastic and I have no complaints at all.

Well i used to swear by Sienna X too until I tried Tan Solutions the colour is so much better and the fade out is amazing I get a full week no problem out of it and usually a few days after that!! Its slightly more expensive but the quality is better

i was in exactly the same boat as you, i have still not recieved my order from puritan
I read some posts on here about Nouvatan i was desperate for solution so i ordered 2 litres on the strength of there reputation on this site, it was with me in 10 hours !
and i am so so pleased with the results, my tanning is the talk of the town ! i got loads of bizzness from the tanz i have done, really could not be more natural looking and the price is very good

B&Q antique oak fence stainer...cant beat it what with a 25year fad off as well as helps prevent woodworm

If that doesnt sound ideal then go make some calls to the different companies and get samples and find out which ticks all the boxes for you
