Tantrick - Which colour for already tanned client?

[allieXayrshire]

Hi
I have a girl wanting sprayed in a few weeks that has just come back from cyprus and previous to that has been using sunbeds so she has a really good tan at the moment. She is blonde and i wouldnt say dark skinned but she does tan well in the sun. She is wanting a really dark tan for a night out in June but i dont know what colour i should get in for her? I only have 5, 8 and 10%. If she had not been on holiday and tanned already i would have said probably 10% but as she has a good colour already i dont know if 12 would be enough as ive not tried it yet or would 14 be too much maybe? Also thought about adding booster drops but if i add booster drops to my cup does that mean i would have to throw away any unused solution as i couldnt pour it back into the bottle? Do booster drops give exactly the same tan outcome as if i were to buy a bottle of that %? Hope someone can help xx

The thing here is to wait until you see her when she comes in and sit down and discuss things...you will have to find the balance between going to to higher a % and adversely going for two low a % when your customer could be disappointed...so it is essential you discuss things ,guide her and let her make the final decision based on what you have recommended.

Blond that tans well...mmmm unless she turns up VERY VERY dark I wouldn't go over 12% ..better to be safe than turning her into and advert for B&Q fence paint

Unfortunately you really have to see this customer for yourself and make the call :hug:

On the booster drop problem...simply put 100ml solution in your gun cup...add the required booster drops to get the volumized DHA level you want...shake well...spray customer and pour what is left into a bottle with lid and write the customers name on the bottle...

Do this while the customer is there and while doing it your showing her her very own blended solution that you have mixed especially for her...she will think your the best thing since sliced bread when you show her the bottle with her name on it and tell her it will be here waiting for her next appointment..and "oh and whilst on that subject missus should we get you booked if for week commencing bla bla bla"..then you've got her coming back time and time again :hug:

Oh my god id just typed a huge reply and my wee girl just hit the keyboard and it all disappeared !!
So al make it shorter this time. My client is my boyfriends sister so i know what she looks like just now. She is actually quite dark as recently got married so had been using alot of sunbeds coming up to it and then went to cyprus but i think she would prob be about 10% if she had had no help from the sun at all but its hard to say as she has been using sunbeds for a while. Because she is quite dark just now especially on arms and chest im worried 12 may not be enough. I have a sample of 12 you sent me but wouoldnt want to use that on her as i use 40-45ml on my size 8 sister and my client is prob about a size 14. Can 5% be boosted right up with booster drops too or is it better to use the solution closest to the colour you want?I know 10% would defo not be enough as I have this on just now and its perfect for me and im quite pale naturally thats why i wonder if the 12 would be enough as I suppose I could prob take the 12 although I might think it was just a tiny bit too dark so if she is already dark it might not be enough.
In her words she wants to ''look like ive just come back from jamaica but dont want to only see eyes and teeth'' ??

can anyone advise me what would be best?xx

I think the 12 would be enough for her, if she already has a base colour it would just make her go that bit darker than if you used it with no base colour.... she will still go browner than she is already... I use 12% on clients with really dark natural olivey skin and they still go darker than they are naturally, she will too! :hug:

 

[allieXayrshire]

Do you ever use any more than 12 on anyone? and if you do what sort of people? Im torn between the 12 and 14% from tantrick or maybe the booster drops then that way i could make both if i have to do a really dark tan again xx

 

[Jaffacake]

Nope, havent used any more than 12% up till now, but waiting for SIenna 16% to come out, when it does I will only use it on people who are really dark skinned naturally, like mediterranean skin types or mixed race, or if someone tells me they only have to look at the sun and they go really brown, never burn etc etc...

 

[allieXayrshire]

thanks for your advice. I would say she tans really well and never burns. Do you know how the tantrick 12% compares to siennax 12% in darkness?xx

 

[Jaffacake]

Can't say I can remember exactly what the Tantrick one was like? I dont think there was a great deal between them darkness wise...

what i think ill do is buy the booster drops and then depending on what colour she is in a few weeks time decide then that way i can explain what i think and then she can choose. I could offer to spray her 12 and if next day she felt it wasnt dark enough i could always add booster drops again to make it darker and spray her the next day or should i just respray her with 12 if this was the case? Whats the best booster drops? Can i boost 5 up to 12 as this is the solution I use least?

Can i boost 5 up to 12 as this is the solution I use least?

Boosting a 5% to a 12% is a fairly big step...remember you are only playing with small volumes of solution when blending and its easy to get it wrong..

That said why not give it a try and see how you do :hug:

what do you think would be my best option for this client?tried to call wowproducts earlier but think i must have been too late as it rang out. Im not doing the client until 4or5th of June but want to make sure ive something in stock in plenty time as the highest I have is 10 or a sample of 12
