Question Spray Tanning - I need a new gun and solution...pls help! - 26-10-08, 10:33 AM

Hi all,

I'm new here, but i have read through a few posts and i have seen how helpful you all are so i am hoping you can help me.

I am currently using Sienna x and have their Spray me Gorgeous Bronzer machine. I have had a few people cancel second tans because of the colour and being patchy.

I am now changing solution and i am currently going through the process of spraying anyone i can get my hands on with samples.

I am also thinking about changing my gun to a truespray T200, as i have seen this one spraying less overspray and a nice even finish.

Basically i would just like peoples opinions on what is the best. Also with the solution which is the most popular?

Thanks Sarah-Jane

Hi Sarah Jane

Welcome to the site!

Firstly, have you cleaned your gun recently? If not, take it to pieces and give it a thorough clean. If it is still not spraying properly, contact your trainer and get them to have a look at it for you.

Secondly, do a search on spray tan solutions and equipment on here and there are loads of posts giving opinions and advice.

After that, ring round a few companies and get some samples. Try them and keep a record of how the solutions perform, then make your choice!

Good luck in whatever you decide to do

Hi hun I am really suprised that your saying Sienna comes out patchy. I have recently changed from Soglo solution to Sienna and me and my clients are in love with it! The colour is gorgeous.
Are you using the right colour on them?
As Julesgems said i wud take the gun apart and clean it out,if you havent already.
If you could also try and get a sample and spray yourself in it , so you too have experience of what its like,how it fades etc, incase your clients have any questions about it.
If you contact collin on here i'm sure he will send you some Tantrick samples. I cannot comment on the solution yet as i am waiting for my sienna spray tan to come off before i apply the Tantrick. A lot of geeks on here love it and Collin a very nice and helpful guy.
Good luck with it hun, i hope you find one you like xxx

I agree with the girls below, i have swapped from tantrick to sienna, and me and my clients much prefer it! are you shaking the solution before using it?

patchy tan - 27-10-08, 02:38 PM

This problem has absolutely nothing to do with which solution you use. All machines will give patchiness problems if they are not cleaned properly over time.

Sienna will issue you with a step-by-step guide on cleaning, give them a call, I know they will be happy to help. You should have been given this or shown how to do this at your training session????

if you dont have the nozzle round the opposite it way it will go patchy with the bronzer as it doesnt pick up all the solution when you tip it at an angle.

To clean it you just ahve to pump water through thsi one as well, try it and see hwo you get on. if not i have a truespray surplus to requirments that im selling.

Thanks for your replies.

I clean my gun every eveing after use and i am pritty sure its not that.

Someone from Sienna x is coming over thursday to check its not me.

Cant think if i shaked the bottle...would that effect it?

I tried fantasy tan a couple of days ago and i just love the colour and everyone has been saying how nice it is...might take some of that on and use it alongside Sienna x.

Sounds like a good plan....switching or adding solutions won't fix things, try talking to your supplier/trainer for advice on colours too.
