Spray tanning the sides of the body....Advice PLS!

[goldylocks77]

I did my training with Tantrick last week and can't remember the sequence for spraying the sides of the body.
I've printed out Tonilee's tutorial which is great but i was just wondering how everyone else sprayed sides? What do you do with armpits?:lol:
Sound silly but it's where to start and start on the arms and armpits.
Does that make sense, think i've thought about it to much

As Loubylou always says on here you Tantrick trainers are there to ring for advice if you are not sure on something. I don't want to tell you how I do mine just incase they have trained you differently. I'm sure Loubylou will reply to this pretty soon but you could always message her on here hun xxx

Im not too sure if Tantrick do it the same but the way I do it is

Ask the client to raise her arm in the air and then i spray from her elbow point right down to her bikini line. and then the same for the other side.

See I spray from just above the armpit all the way up then spray the armpit across and go across all the way down the body until I get to just past the bottom. That's why you should ask your trainer as you will end up getting confused as we all do it differently xxx

Your spray tan pack should be with you by now and in that will be the routine. If you haven't got it ring Collin and he will get it out to you pronto. In the meantime you could ask your trainer to email you just the routine so that you can print it off.

I tend not to go into the armpit too much.I do more of a waft over.I try to think of a natural tan and people dont tend to have very tanned armpits .It tends to be an area that will go patchy if you apply full on solution a bit like the middle chest area can do.

Thank you all so much for your feedback.
I feel like i'm really not getting the hang of it at all!
Sprayed a friend last night and my mum, mum's tan was so wet it took ages to dry her off i saw her today and i'm not happy with the application at all. My friend was not as bad but she did say the inside of her arms were too dark.
No one has complained as they know i'm training it's just me i don't feel i'm improving.
I've spoken to my trainer and she gave me some advice for the sides over the phone, bless her and i've phoned her again today as yesterday was such a disaster.
I'm not about to give up just need alot of help

If your moms tan was too wet then you have your gun up too high. Try turning the gun down.
When i was trained i was taught to spray the torso horizontally. I do most of my tanning now completely different to how i was trained. I think we all find our own ways to do it and what we feel more comfortable with.
I do still spray the torso horizontally though as i personally find this much easier. If i spray horizontal then i have the nozzle horizontal and when i spray arms and legs vertically then i have the nozzle vertical.
The nozzle should be about 6-8 inches away from the body.
Start with your gun turned down really low and then just turn it up a little bit each time until it's coming out just right.

I thought my gun might be up to high but it was only 1 complete turn of the dial, i did the tissue test and it seemed right. I've tried to seach back to see if this is about and can't find anything i was also very aware of my distance as this was my biggest fault when i trained. Must be the whole combination.
I need to do an other one to boost my confidence

One complete turn of the dial is wayyyyyy too high (if it is a T200). Turn the setting to no more than half a turn at the very most.

 

[goldylocks77]

OH MY GOD, yes it's a T200
Well that explains why i used so much solution, how wet and how terrible the colour was!
I read the instructions that came with the gun and it said 1 - 2 complete turns of the dial and 4 inches away from body (i did think this was a little close).
I shouldn't smile as it's my poor Mum's tan (good job it wasn't a paying client) but that does make me feel a bit better about it.
Thanks sooooooooo much
