I only use the hose if the tan puddles anywhere...in wrinkles, cleavage etc...but I learned a valuable lesson yesterday...always tell the client you have the hose and are about to use it . I was so immersed in my tan that when I spotted a little wet spot on my lady's chest I automatically pulled the hose out of the gun and started to blow it dry without warning her!! She literally jumped into the air as though I'd shot her!! She did laugh about it once she'd got over the shock and I guess when you're busy and do the same thing over and over all day it's so easy to forget how nervous some clients are. Nonetheless my mistake and it'll teach me not to do it again. Still giggling though!
