You wouldn't catch me wearing sanitary pads, light, ultra, heavy, night or otherwise on my bloody feet! Pardon the pun!

If I went for a spraytan and someone brought that out, I'd be outta there fast - wings or no wings!

Arrggghh... how could she... sticky feet, couch roll, even 2 hand towels but never ever ever sanitary pads..
As for cost, she's not that clever cos couch roll would be more economic. Dont think she'll be doing tans for much longer neway...x

Can't she buy the sticky soles like everyone else, or even just use kitchen roll or something! I would totally freak if someone tried to stick sanitary towels to my feet.....I'd be outta there like a shot.

I found out because a few of my regulars went there while I was off on my hols and what made it even worse (if thats possible) was that the "therapist" left a nail client to do a coat of tan then asked the nearly naked girls to shuffle pads and all into another room to dry, than shuffle back again to have a second coat applied. Apparently as it is not private they hold a blanket up to protect your modesty while this is going on but the clients friend who was waiting to go next could see her head above and her padded feet below the blanket!

What do you guys use on the soles? Please don't anyone come back and say pads cos you'll hear me screaming from here!!
VERY PROFESSIONAL THEN? NOT! lol
i use sticky feet.

Still shaking my head about this LOL

It might be savvy but who wants to be the client of the "spraytan salon who gives you maxi pads to wear on your feet". Yep, that would be really popular with the teenagers!

people want a pro job so expect pro salon items, its funny and cheap! i wouldnt risk my reputation with doing it, cutting costs is great to do, but i think thats a bit risky, i wouldnt use tampons for toe separators!!

I cant understand why people cant see that this is WRONG!! omg i cannot believe someone would even think about this.....let alone DO IT!! I am in complete shock!!
I dread to think what i'd do if i was having a spray tan, paying my hard earned cash, and someone saying oh here you go put these sanitary towels on your feet!!!
I do believe if you be too greedy with your money then you will end up with nothing!!

I'm off to bulk buy some sanitary towels and tampons......



For my first aid kit when I need to plug up bullet holes lol!!




I would be straight out of there too, its wrong ALWAYS!

Bit of tit tape and those nail mats cut up work wonders and so do towels but I still think sticky feet are more professional.

Sanitary towels honestly what is she thinking?? lol!

Absolutely brilliant, innovative, what a smart girl. Don't see what the problem is lol.
All joking aside the cost of sanitary ware these days I am sure exceeds the cost of sticky feet or better still, a nice black towel.
I would not like to get sanitary ware stuck to my feet if I was a paying client but I still think it is innovative and it is only paper and cotton wool!

On one hand (or foot) I can see the tech being quite cost aware as things are atm but on the other I still think....argh bad taste.
Just asking....do you watch them often Collin??
My favourite was the catchy
"Truuuuuuust bodyform"
In fact it still cracks me and my brother up after all the years
Yes my family are a bit odd before you ask......
