Hi

What about overspray?
Do you need a cubicle (seems a lot of money for what it is?) or do you use towels or shower cubicle?

Sounds like this system makes others look overpriced" I am seriously thinking of adding this to my home-based treatment room.
Would appreciate your comments.
Thanks
Jane

Hi Kelly

I did my Su-do tanning and nails training last month and have their kit. Its great and all my clients love it. I will add that I have the 0.4mm airbrush for the tanning and not the 0.6mm in the kit. My trainer advised that the 0.4mm is better as is give a finer spray pattern and is therefore easier to control (yes I am probably going to be shouted down in flames here but it was an official Su-do course and she was just giving me her personal opinion). Got my kit thro Aston and Fincher as they do the kit WITH the 0.4mm airbrush. I use the lotion with bronzer coz I think it smells nicer (reminds me of holidays whatever they are LOL) and it means my clients go away with a touch of colour too. As clients need to exfoliate beforehand I always recommend the Fake Bake Body Polish coz it smells really yummy and works a treat.

Thumbs up Sundrench spray tan - 15-06-04, 10:37 AM

Hi,
I have a sundrench system too. I was using St Tropez for ages, but after trying Sundrench I would quite happily never do a St Tropez again.
The colour of the tan solution is great, I think its a more natural colour than I was previously using and the machine is really easy to use.
It takes less than half the time to do a tan and its not as messy if you put up a booth or some kind of protective backing on a wall. Get the client to do all the moving so that you are only spraying in one direction and not spraying all over the place, or you will find that your other stuff gets some overspray.
If anybody is in 2 minds whether to invest in a spray tanning system I'd say go for this one!

Dee, you should have the nozzle on the round setting... so its pointing diagonally.. this gives you a better view of where you are spraying and eliminates too much overspray.
There is one permanent pressure.. but you regulate how much tan comes out by adjusting the lever on the handset with the screw at the back the less pull there is then the less tan comes out.. have it about half way... and finally.. I dont clean mine out because I'm so busy with it its never lying for long enough and I'd be scared to lose a lot of solution.. but you could clean it with water until it runs clear..I leave the well filled with solution.. I dont pour it back into the bottle.
Hope this helps..

PS.. you get a really even tan because the nozzle is so tiny... perfect!

Have fun!

K4ylee, how long does it take you to do a full body with it and do you use the sundrench solution in the machine or a different one

Hi,

A full body takes literally 5 mins to spray and 5 mins to dry (as long as its not too humid - otherwise the client might still be a bit sticky).. I use the sundrench solution because personally I think it looks like a natural suntan.. everytime I get re-sprayed everyone thinks I've just come back from holiday (and the sundrench machine).

Love,
Kirsty

Oh.. and I have sprayed my hubby's hairy legs with it.. (took a bit of persuading tho!) the colour wasnt so deep (probably couldnt get thru the thick forest of hair!) but it still looked good.. and he had a tan line with a quick spray!!
