i use sienna x and celebrity secrets, my clients love celebrity secrets, i also love the product looks very natural on and people always comment on how good it looks. Sienna x is also great very natural looking. the guide colour on both is fantastic so i can see where i am spraying, also my clients love it because for them is an instant tan.

well i have tried sienna x - well i had to didnt i as i won 6 months worth in the guild comp.

must say i was impressed with it, jen sprayed me over the weekend and the colour fade is great and no patches and crocodile effect like i get with some other solutions. so overall im impressed with it. I also didnt think that the colour guide was that different to the autumn gold of tantrick as well as i had heard that the sienna solutions had a darker guide colour. i was dead dry as well after and not damp or sticky which for me is a must.

there are so many out there i know stock 3 solutions being sienna, vani t and tantrick and also another one im about to try is a chocolate & cherry one.

i use tanline. i trained with vani-t but i find tanline is a very natural looking tan, without that hint of orange you can get with some tans. Plus the retail range is great! from exfoliates and primers to a gorgeous shimmer spray, it is a really good range. I find it dries quickly and doesnt have an overpowering odor either. Doesnt stain the sheets either! always a bonus!

The poll is mulitpe choice, so you can chose more than one if you so wish.

Please tell us what you like about your chosen solution, covering these main points;

*Guide colour - is it light or dark and what colour does it look on the skin?

*Smell - is it a pleasant frangrance?

*Drying time - How quickly can you client get dressed?

*Choice of solutions - Is there one for all skin types? Do you feel there are too many or not enough?

*How much solution do you use per tan?

*Developed colour - think about wether the tan comes out with yellow, brown or orange tones.

*Staying power - How long does the tan last, does it go patchy when it fades?

*Retail Range - does your solution carrya retail range? does this boost business?

*Value for money

I hope this will be helpful to all, I will post my reply when i get another 5 mins!!

Happy Tanning!!

xxxxxx
I'd really like to see more posts that are addressing these points. I've been looking into spray tanning and all these points are great feedback to get before spending $$$.

Its difficult though when addressing these points to all agree with just one solution which is why so many of us use so many different solutions.
How a tan fades is pften more to do with the client than the solution.Other factors are more to do with application it really is a case of trying for yourself.

I appreciate that some things will differ between clients and operators, but some are consistant, fragrance, choice of solution, colour guide, retail products......
Often these types of threads just become "I use XYZ" and there is no sharing of information IYKWIM.
