SandraMcClumpa discusses the professional products and tools for effective spray tanning
The well-known saying states that ‘a bad workman always blames his tools’ but in the world of tanning there are no excuses with the high quality products and equipment currently available on the market today.
Since the initial introduction of quality self- tan products to themarket, tanning has progressed to offer a wide variety of tanning products with numerous applicationmethods that cater to all skin types, skin tones and lifestyles. These products can be applied at home or professionally to providemultiple advantages to your clients such as depth of colour, speed of development and a higher quality of ingredients that provide additional skin benefits.
Though tanning products have evolved substantially to allow a salon professional tan to be applied in the comfort of a client’s home, the experience will never come close to receiving a professional treatment by an experienced therapist. For the professionals applying these tans there are predominantly two options that include a relaxing full body lotion application incorporatingmassage techniques or a spray tan application for an efficient way to apply a flawless colour.
get equipped
Most reputable brands now also offer specialist equipment that will assist in the finish of the selected solution. This spray tan machinery has developed to accommodate the requirements of both specialist and client. Whether you’re searching for spray tan machinery that fits comfortably in the boot of your car or complements the style of your tanning suite, today’s tanningmarket has the equipment to suit all requirements and budgets frompop-up tanning tents and portable spray tan guns to static booths with incorporated LVLP guns and even automated booths.
Mobile therapists spray tanning in their spare time for some additional income or simply
dictating their own working hours, require portable spray tan equipment that allows the flexibility to performsalon professional spray tans in a client’s home. This equipment must be easy to transport, compact when set up and effortlessly dismantled. These solutions are predominantly presented in the formof pop-up tanning tents, blow up cubicles, efficient extraction systems and compact spray tan guns.
For cost-effective spray tanningmake the most out of amobile service by offering spray tan parties and completemultiple spray tans forminimumeffort. Utilise your chosen brand’s promotionalmaterials, information and hints and tips to promote party bookings for hen parties, girly nights in andmore by offering a discount or free tan to host the party in their home.
When spray tanning regularly it is vital to consider the impact of excessive bounce-off (spray tan particles that hit the skin and do not adhere) and overspray (spray tan liquid thatmisses the client’s body), as this leads to wasted product and the inhalation of excess solution. This can be reduced by ensuring the spray tan gun is set to a suitable level and that an extraction systemis in place.
In addition to individual extraction units, progressions in spray tan equipment have allowed for supplementary benefits to be incorporated including built-in extraction, heating, lighting andmuchmore. All these developments ensure that the client is kept relaxed and comfortable throughout the whole process in the cleanest and safest environment.
in the salon
If tanning is salon based and applied on a regular basis, cleanliness and efficiency is paramount. To reduce any issues including excessive bounce off or overspray, it is worth investing in a fixed booth that not only eliminates overspray but also uses unique and patented downward heated air flow extraction that accelerates DHA development as well as keeping the client warmand dry. These revolutionary qualities not only aid to accelerate the development of the client’s tan but also abolish the requirement of any roomventilation as the boothmanages its ownmini-environment, making it the safest equipment for both client and therapist.
More recently, automated spray tanning booths have been introduced that use similar techniques tomanual spray tanning and fixed booths while achieving exacting repeatability with near flawless results. Assisted by pleasant automated voice instructions, clients are guided through the treatment’s process as they experience flawless tanning results in complete privacy while freeing the therapist to carry out treatments on other clients while the tan is being applied.
Nomatter where the future of tanningmay lead no brand, equipment, product, salon or mobile therapist will succeed without the consideration of what their clients are looking for and the recognition of treatment efficiency. Products and equipment will develop but so tomust the attitude of all tanning professionals to accommodate the developments where speed is essential and results are amust.
