Looking for new tanning solution

[Linda_86]

I am looking for a new spray tan solution. I was using novatan from my suppliers but it's been discontinued so looking for a new brand.
I've heard Fake Bake is a Awsome product so been looking on there Web and I'm interested in the one called beyond bronze gorgeously golden. But I can't find the colour anywhere to see how light/dark it is. Does anyone have any experience with this product? Or could offer some advice

Thank you x

I specialise is fake bake. The gorgeously golden is nice, but extremely light in comparison to the original and dark. I used to stock each colour. Now, i only stock the gorgeously golden and dark. Not many of my clients went for the original x

Why don't you just order direct from Nouvatan? Especially if you and your clients were happy with the solutions, your now looking to order from online anyway.

Yeah thats what I'm thinking of doing but since nows my opportunity to look into a wider range of products. I haven't had many clients with the novatan to be honest so I'm hoping if I change brands it might spark a little more interest.

Ive been looking online to see if I can see before and after pictures of different brands and it's so hard to actually find any other than Laurens way.

I originally trained through xen-tan but wasn't a massive fan of there products.

In my opinion what brand you use will not make a huge difference to the amount of clients you get, don't expect loads of clients just because you change to what you feel is a more recognised brand.
If you want more clients you need to be good at what you do, use good quality products (which Nouvatan is) charge a good price (not too cheap or too expensive) and advertise like mad, get your clients to take photos of their tans and tag you in them so you can use them on your website, facebook etc...
I've been tanning years and very few people ask what the brand is and even when told what I use & they don't know the brand, they still have a tan because either I've been recomended to them or they trust me when I say I did a blind trial and it chose the best solution (I did this when I first started out tanning and continue to check new products out wherever possible).

There was a thread on here called 'show us your tans' and it had loads of photo's of different solutions but when I searched the thread is coming up but it's empty, maybe a MOD needs to check that out.

Yeah I don't just want to change to just interest more clients. I just want to see what else is out there and maybe get a few samples to try a few different brands.

Nouvatan is lovely and doesn't leave a horrid smell behind but I also want to know what others are out and about if I choose to change =)

I used to use sienna x and I loved it. I've only changed because I've moved areas and every man and his dog used sienna so I thought I would try to stand out from the crowd a bit. I think they are actually fairly similar.

I trained with fake bake which was gorgeous but I know a lot of geeks had trouble with the suppliers running out of stock a lot. I'm not sure if it's been resolved now xx

I use St Tropez and I really like it. I currently use classic and dark shades and clients have been very happy with it. I have had a few book because it's St Tropez so I do think sometimes a well known brand can help x x

I use exposed. I want to try vita liberata as the retail side of it and tag marketing is far better. But they say don't fix what isn't broke, exposed is completely and utterly odor free, no overspray, fades well and lasts good 7-10 days. I have not once had a complaint and I couldn't count how many tans I have done!

I use LA Tan and LDN Skins.
LA is a good colour and really lasts with good fade off and they do great offers.
LDN skins is my favourite and what I use on myself. I love the brown tone, the smell and how good my skin looks after it. Unfortunately it's not cheap and I've never had any offers from them
