    Feeling disheartened

    So i've been mobile spray tanning since February. I am happy to have 4 or 5 clients a week ( i have a day job too so evenings works well for me). I've had mobile phone problems & felt that my business has slowed down (perhaps) as a result. I get most of my business through client...

    Streaky legs

    I tanned my first male 2 weeks ago & didn't get any feedback at the time. i've just found out from his sister who i tanned at the same time that the whole of his legs were streaky. He had shaved his legs & he also mentioned that he'd used immac on his arms. He said he had followed my advice...

    First male spray tan!

    I've been doing mobile spray tans for ages now but have been asked to do my first man. We won't be alone so i'm not worried about anything dodgy going on. I'm just wondering if there is anything i should do or be aware of in addition to when i do a woman? My hubby won't let me spray him so...

    Last minute spray tans

    What do you do when you have the opportunity to do a last minute spray tan? I'm mobile so i don't have 'walk ins' or anything like that, but i have been contacted to do a tan on the same day. I managed to persuade this client to have the tan a day later (I'm a real stickler & i request my...

    Been invited to a wedding fayre

    I've had an invitation to a wedding fayre & i'm not entirely sure what it entails. I'm guessing i'll set up my tent & maybe spray a model (i only do spray tans). I've got business cards but no posters or anything like that. I use Sienna & Nouvatan. Have any of you attended a wedding fayre...

    Reasons for a bride trial tan

    I've had my first bride approach me well enough in advance for a trial tan before the big day. Logic tells me should do a trial so that we can find the right shade for her & so that she can be sure she will be happy & confident tanned in a white dress but can anyone tell me any other reasons i...

    Lash training

    I currently only offer mobile spray tans but am thinking of venturing into eyelashes too. I've always been put off when i see threads on here about things going wrong - is this as common as it seems? Who would you recommend for lash training & do you have to have a foundation course (eg. level...

    Smokey environment for spray tan

    Spray tan for bride with no time for a trial

    Hi, i've been asked to spray a bride & 2 bridesmaids for the wedding on Tuesday. They haven't had a tan before & i don't think there's enough time to do a trial, although there is for a patch test. I've explained this & agreed to tan them on Sunday. I've never done a bride before but...

    Advice needed - Eczema & spray tan

    I've been approached by someone with Excema on arms & legs who wants a spray tan. She says its not currently active but when it does it can be bad. i've explained that i can't spray over open sores & that a tan may cause a flare up but she's still keen to try. I've considered maybe a patch...

    Omg 16%

    Spray tanning a group

    I just wanted to share this with you. I had a group of 5 sisters (all new clients) last week & my first client was 16 so i got parental consent & asked if she'd like someone present while i sprayed her. Her older sister came in & watched which was fine. Each sister after that was 'observed'...

    Lost a regular client

    First of all, sorry for the essay!! I had a regular spray tan client who had been with me from when i started. She loved it & shared me with her FB friends. One of her friends had regular tans at the same time as her. It was going great, each time they had a tan, they'd rebook for 2-3 weeks...
