Hi
I just had my first two spray tan clients come round my house tonight, nerve wracking!!!!
I have practised spray tanning with my machine before but only twice on my husband and I thought it came out well but took me a while to figure out the settings on the gun and I'm still not really sure. At work I spray tan my boss every week so get lots of practise but the machine is completely different and we use ST Tropez but at home I have been using LA Tan.
Just wanted to run though the issues I had tonight so I know for next time. The first lady I set my gun between number 2 & 3 and on horizontal spray pattern and stood about 10inches away, I noticed that quite a bit of over spray was hitting the chest area, so I turned gun down even more and continued to spray without a problem. I did dab down the chest area with a mitt but after the tan I kept looking and thinking she looks a bit darker in that area and even a bit green, I'm just hoping that when she washes in the morning all will be ok.
The second lady I set the gun to horizontal again and turned the dial down even further between 1 & 2 because I was worried about the over spray I had with the first lady. This time I had no over spray but felt I was possibly giving her a really light tan as couldn't really see it going on but it was 7pm at night and was doing it in my conservatory with only a floor standing lamp on, she came out looking ok but not looking like I tanned her either, so again I'm hoping that it does develop darker enough and turns out ok.
This spray tan gun is driving me mad with all its settings, I read that you should have it on number 4 but when I turn it up to that it just creates so much over spray and is too powerful. I was also told to have it set to horizontal even though I spray vertically, I'm so confused. The one I use in work is so much simpler with none of these settings.
Please advice needed, worried that I messed up these tans.
thanks x
