Hi Honey5 and welcome to salon geek.
did you get training when you purchased the kit?

Believe me it takes a bit of practise and usage to produce that ultimate tan and hands especially aren't easy....when you spray down the arm keep going but pull the gun away when you get to the wrist so as not to overspray the hands themselves.

Your client can either create a "claw" or a "fist" with the hand so as to avoid over spray to the underside of the hand and nails.....the claw works well but is personnel preference.
HTH :hug:

i was taught to get my clients to hold tennis balls as this helps to stop the palms getting tanned, it really works and always raises a laugh when I ask clients to "hold my balls".

As for not being able to see if the gun is spraying, try spraying 1st on a piece of plain white kitchen roll, make sure you give the solution a good shake 1st. When you tighten the needle at the rear of the gun, get a permanent marker and mark it where it is at the tighest point & then if you turn the screw anti clockwise to somewhere in between 1/4 to & 1/2 past (as in on a clock) then this is roughly a good indicator to the amount of solution you should be using, but it depends on the guide colour of the solution you are using. When you spray onto the kitchen roll it should not be wet through, it should be almost dry, if you still cannot see the guide colour you may need to change solution to one which has a stronger guide colour.

I hope this helps xxx

What a fantastic idea. Although my hand tanning has turned out ok (apart from one customer who told me afterwards she had been so pleased with it she couldn't stop touching it and ended up with tan on her palms) it really is the one part of the body I worry myself about. I will definately try the ball trick - thanks for a great tip.
