Well you've certainly got the best machine thats available on the market..she might be a bit of an old model but its the best.
it is difficult to get a good tan which is applied by yourself as it is difficult to get an even coverage to certain hard to reach areas..back ,bot and behind thighs etc.
You would be amazed how many therapist's use their partners to spray them...there is a whole army of hubbies who spray their partners and make a dam fine job of it to....maybe worthwhile investing a little time in teaching yours.
It is of course a good selling point if you as the therapist wears a tan...a walking advertising board kind of thing :lol:
On solution volume..well different brands advocate different amounts whilst training ..given that you are using Tantrick you want to be looking at around the 35ml mark to create that all over ,even and realistic looking tan.
Adopt the "less is more" principle and you cant go wrong.
You would be amazed at how many therapists I speak to on a weekly basis that have been tanning for a good few years and still use far to much solution...it simply is not needed and is a complete wast of money and severely erodes your operating margins.
"Less is more"

Well it just goes to show that us hubbies aren't completely useless after all...well done for yours if he tan's you so well:hug:
Thanks for the compliments....as a manufacturer we are trying to act responsibly and and play our part in assisting in reducing our carbon print output contribution by manufacturing AG,EOS and MAX here in the UK as well as contributing to the UK economy.
Through reduced shipping these objectives are met and has the added benefit of enabling us to be more cost effective in our output pricing...a win win situation for all concerned.
In so far as reducing your solution output on your own spray tans is concerned you will achieve many benefits...your own contribution to reducing carbon output footprint,increase your operating margins as well as turning out a natural looking tan.
The most effective and safe way of reducing solution consumption is to take it slow....simply turn the output dial down by half a turn....spray away...after a number of customers application ...turn that dial down another half turn....repeat this until you reach the point where you feel you cant reduce any further.
The key is to trust the solution....make the reduction in slow gradual steps..this way your customers will not suddenly notice any difference to either the application itself or the final tan outcome.
Less is more (profit also)
