When I offered Aviva Express rapid tan alongside my usual Fake Bake, I charged £5.00 extra, but that was because (a) it cost quite a bit more to buy and (b) being a syrupy consistency I used more solution per client. Since March this year I've been offering Sienna-x's Tonight's The Night rapid...

At a cost of 32p per tan, the benefits and professionalism of using sticky feet far outweigh the very small cost. I just had a pack delivered from OMG yesterday, used them last night and they were absolutely fine. 2 small strips of tape and they didn't stick to the clients' feet; perfectly...

Absolutely right, some clients (but only some, luckily) most definitely like to faff about in their own house.... but I think this is one of the benefits to the client of having their tan in their own home... A few weeks ago a new client announced "I'm just going to walk the dog" while I was...

I gave booster drops a try-out a couple of years ago and to be honest, I won't be buying them again. They were expensive, inaccurate, caused storage problems and went off (green) very quickly. In my opinion (and it's only my opinion), you might be better off stocking a 16% solution. You can...

Must be something to do with the massive one-day sale Fake Bake had on Monday 11th April, where it took me 5 calls over 5 hours to get through to them to place my order. Can't quite work out though, why they'd have a massive one-day sale with no back-up stock to follow .....

I'd say my own tan took another 4 hours or so after showering before it got to it's fullest colour. However, everyone else I've tanned so far has had it done in the evenings, so they've gone to bed not-quite-there yet and woken up the next morning with their lovely tans.

I've just started offering Sienna-X's Tonight's The Night tan alongside my beloved Fake Bake and I too have had great feedback. I was sprayed in it a couple of weeks ago and left it to develop for the minimum 2 hours with a great result. I've seen two of my clients a couple of days after I...

I love Netmums and have had a good response from just advertising on the Noticeboard. However, it gets a bit irritating when you see more than one name advertising the same company/service but luckily Netmums spotted it and sorted it out. I haven't had to advertise anywhere lately (apart...

Hiya, I use Aviva Express. You can call Pauline at Skin & Body Business on 07814 475173 xx

Because I'm used to Aviva Express continuing to develop after the colour guide has been showered off, I too suspected this to be the case with you and am so glad it was! Last week I ordered the 250ml try-me size of Sienna-X's Tonight's The Night, just to try it for myself to see if it's any...

This has happened to me a couple of times this year but like others have said, don't worry too much. Look after your clients with regular contact and just laugh at the desperation of £10 spray tans. What clients want to show off that they're being treated by the cheapest therapist in town? I...

If ever the husband and I came close to divorcing, it was shortly after my spray tan training in 2008 ...... I just kind of expected him to not only be happy to spray tan me to my heart's content, but to pick it up and become an expert in a very short space of time. Sadly, I cooked my...

I'm not a nail tech but was Shellac'd a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately mine started lifting/peeling within 24 hours. Added to the lumpiness and a few dents, I had to make an appointment to have them removed soon after. The therapist said it was because my own nail tips are weak and and...

Hi, I've been spray tanning with Fake Bake for a while now. I pretty much use about the same amount of Original and Darker, and I totally agree that Darker should be used on olive-toned skins as it doesn't really make a massive difference to Original on pale-skinned clients. It's Original all...

I advise my clients to use "non-oily" moisturisers, ie avoid those with Oil or Butter in the title. As mentioned above, there are so many products on the market that apart from Fake Bake's range it's impossible to know the ingredients of all of them. Unfortunately Fake Bake's fab products are...

Hi All Are there any mobile bridal make-up artists who cover Slough? One of my clients is a hairdresser doing the bridal party hair in a few weeks' time and they're having trouble locating someone to do their make-up. Please PM me for details xx

Phew, luckily I live miles from you, am mobile, and only offer spray tanning so I hope you don't mind I've just posted a little competition on my Facebook page SunSpray Mobile Tanning | Facebook Your page is fantastic, well done for being so clever and thank you for sharing. xx

I'm just wondering - did you use your own photo of your tent, or did you use the manufacturer's own promotional photo? Some manufacturers and certainly other Ebay users complain when their photos are used (I know this because.... ahem .... it happened to me when I was too lazy to photograph my...

I had my toes Minxed today for the first time and I absolutely love them. The price was £22 and after the therapist told me how much Minx costs her (I know her well so this wasn't inappropriate!!) I couldn't believe how little profit there is for a minimum half hour treatment. A quick...

I charge £25 for a single mobile Fake Bake spray tan, which I increased from £20 last September. This is reduced to £20 for 2+ tans at the same appointment and this really does encourage clients to get a friend to have a tan too. When things go quiet at the end of September, I'll be offering...
