Help - Which Spray Tan brand and training

[mypinkpony]

Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum but i have been reading up on here for a couple of weeks. I have decided to train in spray tanning but I am unsure who to train with? After reading hundreds of threads on here I have decided to go with the HVLP 5008 machine, I will be working mobile. I have always had spray tans done with Bali Sun which i have been happy with and will offer as a option as many of my friends use it, but i have read good things about LA Tan, Sienna X and Tantrick... I can't decide between the 3. LA have a great package (£240 for machine, tent and 3litres) and also seem reasonable..... but i can't find anything about their training??:cry:

Anyone who can give me some advice on good or bad of these 3 brands?

I live in Sidcup, so could do training in Kent or London, ideally 1 to 1.

Thanks
Danielle

Hi I have recently trained with Nouvatan who include the same HVLP 5008 in their kit, the tans are very natural and their customer service is outstanding, definitely worth a look before you decide x

I have also recently trained with Nouvatan 1 to 1, the training was brilliant and the kits great. Dawn who did my training keeps in touch to see how im gettin on, i agree with Beautific, excellent customer service and good value for money. The clients i have sprayed so far prefer nouvatan over the other spray tans solutions they have tried too. xx

I am doing my training with NOUVATAN in 3 weeks, cant wait, and again customer service is excellent.

Thanks

Their website says that they offer training in Hemel Hempstead, Nouvatan? Spray Tanning - 07932 508084 - Training & Info

that is probably the closest training venue to London at the moment. But get in touch and have a word with Dawn - she's very helpful and may be able to arrange a training venue even closer to you if you ask her.

OH LADIES !! thankyou so much when you are considering buying a kit the cubicle is a very important part of the kit especially if you are mobile,certain companies offer FREE tents with solution sales of 4 litres ect if you search this site for Tent problems you will see why they give them away
we had a sample sent to us of the copy tents,and decided in the interest of customer service to stay with the british ones with the ce and fireproofing

yes there expensive,and i could shave 50 quid of kit price buy stocking the copy and sell lots more .or say nothing and pocket the 50 quid:irked:
buy cheap buy twice, i believe is the old saying and if it was a (free gift) do you have any consumer rights ?
Also consider the solution Quality and The after sales service is the course guild accredited for all solutions or an in house training for that companys products HTH

Yes you do have rights. Even if it was a free gift, it still has to be fit for the purpose for which it was intended.

well every days a school day i was unsure to be honest :hug:

Thank you for your replies... I'm still unsure, need to phone some companies on Monday and find out about the training, thats whats getting me in a muddle! At least i know the machine i want and as everyone has said i'm not stuck with the brand i train in, I can get samples from all companies and test which one I like best. My poor fella's gonna be my tester...he'll be a different shade of tan every week! :lol:

Can anyone advise me on the pro gun upgrade? I've read great things but i'm still a bit in the dark? does it fit any 5008 machine, or is it for the maxi mist...is it the same thing - gets so confusing trying to research this from scratch!

Ta, Dani xxx

 

[steve@nouvatan]

my opinion is dont bother with the pro gun upgrade the standard gun runs at the same psi has the same nozlle size and does the same job,but if your the type to buy a bmw and want extras that look flashy but dont add to the performance then go for it
,its fairly priced and is a well engineered piece of kit but the 5008 only operates at 1.7 psi and the pro gun is over engineered for the spray tan market
we can get them but dont stock them as we see no big advantage with them
if it aint broke dont fix it the standard gun on the 5008 is good enough save the money and use that on training insead is my advice hth

Thanks Steve,

I def won't bother getting it then if it's just gimmicky.... I thought it might be something that is highly recommended by spray tanners one here, which is good cos it was starting to build up to a much higher price than i had costed for!

Well my quest to get set up is finally starting to get clearer - Thanks!!

The Hv5008 machine and with its basic gun represents a good deal and a low entry price point without doubt.

Upgrading to the pro gun is by no means "gimmicky" and is a dam good piece of kit and probably the best gun on the market..it comes with a lifetime guarantee...which must stand for something.

Start with the basic kit...the if/when your business takes off and your tanning rate increases certainly do consider an upgrade...those that have have been more than delighted with the upgrade gun.

HTH and good luck with your new business venture :hug:
