    What is the best spray tan machine to buy?

    Hi Shazza251, Each therapist is different, some spray closer to the skin while others further away, some one coat others do two so its each to their own TBH. I have it as fine as possible and the motor on low. I spray close to the skin and do two thin coats. I would say have a play with it (with...

    Which spray tan starter kit shall I purchase for mobile therapist

    Maximist Spraymate TNT / Evolution TNT. Spraymate isn't the best for doing multiple tans in one sitting (I would say max 3) so if tanning parties are a possibility the Evolution will certainly do the job :)

    Suntana retail

    What are you selling at charlene? I sell them my dancers when they have a lengthy event and may need a top up for as minimal as possible - its not my money maker its a way of ensuring I know what they are using to enhance the tan - not ruin it and give me a bad name. When selling to a general...

    Advice/opinions needed! New to business

    Hi, yes I often use the mousses when its too late for me to get my kit out or I'm on a last min event. My dancers in particular buy the mousses to exaggerate their tan if they have been sprayed a few days before an event or have an event lasting a few days. They don't last as long as the spray...

    Express tan before work out?

    Some believe heat after showing the bronzer off affects the depth (goes darker) I myself disagree - I say it would do no harm too :D

    Advice/opinions needed! New to business

    Just recommended my brand on another post so heres a copy :rolleyes: I LOVE Suntana - Its cost effective and will do around 18 tans. I can keep my costs to a min and run promotions on quieter months Moving onto the actual product - its amazing! Natural results, even fade (though most of this...

    Mobile tanning kit

    I LOVE Suntana - Its cost effective at around £xxx per litre (Including delivery) which will do around 18 tans - so costs around £xxx per tan. I can keep my costs to a min and run promotions on quieter months :) Moving onto the actual product - its amazing! Natural results, even fade (though...

    Help, spray isn't coming out

    What Unit / Applicator do you have? Different units have different parts / issues :)

    Good/bad feedback please on MaxiMist equipment

    Hi BronzeBeauties, Have you checked for any blockages in the fluid tip? As the tip is so fine small particles can build up. Is the trigger defiantly being pressed until all parts are back on and air cap ring tight without being too tight? If the air cap ring is too lose the dial will often...

Training is training so go for whomever gives you the best price (from an accredited trainer / site such as Guild...

    I hope you have sorted your applicator BronzeBeauties, With the Helia applicator 50 ml is doable - I had the unit myself for some time. I have said there is a tutorial on Suntana which should help you take the gun apart and reassemble but there are a couple of steps which are very important...

    Removing needle from HVLP Maximist XL without tool?

    If you have the Helia 2.0 there is no gland nut to adjust ;) When you are setting it back up ensure you pull the trigger when resembling all the parts again (after you have inserted the needle). Otherwise the needle pushes everything forward which can cause an air gap which can cause...

    Good/bad feedback please on MaxiMist equipment

    Hi, 10 + per day is fine I would say. But if its a tanning party of say 7 in one go you would be best giving the unit a break after a few so not to overload the motor. With breaks between tans prepping for the next client etc the unit should have some time to cool whilst doing a party. I hope...

    Good/bad feedback please on MaxiMist equipment

    I love my Evolution TNT. If you are planning on doing only a few/ several per week possibly the SprayMate would be better for you. (Cheaper and smaller but can't cope with high demand of tans in one day / sitting). If Tanning Parties are a possibility I would say go for the Evolution TNT ;)...

    Removing needle from HVLP Maximist XL without tool?

    You have the Helia 2.0 I am guessing? - this is the only applicator with a needle removal tool I think. Simply pull the fluid tip out and when you need to unscrew the needle put a cloth on it first to give you a better grip and to avoid breaking a nail (heaven forbid) ;) or as above use nose...

    LA Tan Pro Gun failure

    That is a shame - Have they done any trouble shooting over the phone with you? They must be familiar with the gun/ unit. Did they give you a reason for the issue or just offer replacement? At least you now have a replacement (fingers crossed it was a faulty applicator). :rolleyes:

    This has never happened to me before-no tan!

    I think you have hit the nail on the head - if she is going through he menopause it will have a big impact on her skin (anything hormone related can affect the outcome, time of the month, pregnancy etc). Ask her to use a wash recommended by you (as you'll know its not a potential barrier) patch...

    Best tanning machine

    Tanning Essentials Rapid is available from Suntana Spray Tan ;) From experience I would personally recommend the latest Maximist range though. if you are interested in the volume & Pressure adjusters as mentioned above the same features are on the new Evolution TNT & Pro TNT. Personally I love...
