• Warm the room for your client as spray can be cold when it first makes contact with skin.

• Place a clean towel on the floor, where you want the client to stand (or a paper towel).

• Set sticky feet, sticky side up, ready for the client to stand on.• Place a second clean towel on the floor, ready for the client to step onto once the spray tan is finished.

• Give your client paper pants and ensure they wear a hair net.

Make the client feel as comfortable as you can. Each client is unique, not everyone is used to striping down in front of a therapist, they may even feel exposed or uneasy. If a client seems uncomfortable:

• Using paper pants - explain they are more than welcome to keep their own pants on but the tan could stain.

• Being undressed - some clients may ask to keep a bra on. Try to reassure them that they are in a secure environment & although you can spray them wearing a bra, the final tan will look better if they took it off.

• Apply barrier cream for client. If they need guidance, show them how to apply the barrier clean to palms of hands, front of hands including nails, top of feet including nails, elbows and knees.

TAN

• Ask what occasion their spray tan is for. This tan isn’t just a tan, it has a purpose, what is it?

• Discuss in depth what percentage tan they would like, what depth of tan they prefer.

The answers will inform the percentage you will use, and how you explain this choice to the client.

CONCEALS IMPERFECTIONS

Lusso Tan’s advanced technology helps veil imperfections & slight blemishes

Once the client has:

• Applied barrier cream

• Stripped to their underwear

• Tied their hair backPut their hairnet on

Ask them to:

• Stand on their sticky feet on the towel with their back to you, the therapist.

• Put their hands in ‘prayer’ in front of them.

This will help smooth out the client’s back for a more even coverage & avoid over spray reaching the palms of the hands.

THE SPRAY TAN

We recommend you use our Lusso Tan Primer to cleanse, plump and ready the client’s skin for the ideal tan. The tan itself is beautifully simple!

BACK - Start at the top of the back, spray downward in a long even vertical strokes all over the back.

LEGS- Repeat for backs of legs

TURN- Ask the client to turn round keeping their hands in prayer until you have sprayed legs.

FRONT- With same technique, start on the upper leg & spray downwards to the feet in even strokes.

SIDES- Ask the client to position their legs for you to achieve even coverage for inside & outer sides.

FEET - A quick, light spray on the tops of the feet is all you’ll need there.

FACE - Do this in three vertical strokes. Ask the client to hold their breath for each stroke.

SHOULDERS - When tanning the shoulders, chest & stomach area use the same even strokes as before.

ARMS- Tan from shoulder to hand. Remember to do the inside of the arm too.

SIDES - For the sides, ask your client to raise their arms. Start at the armpit & work your long even vertical strokes down to the pant line.

HANDS - Ask the client to make a claw shape with their fingers & spray in light even strokes.

THE FINISH

The finishing touches will give that final polish to your client’s tan and show the care you take in your work.

• Wipe excess spray tan from finger & toe nails.

• When confident the clients tan should now be dry, you can invite them to redress.

SHOWING THE LOVE

It’s time to make sure the client feels good.

• Ask them if they have any questions & if they are happy with the application.

• Address any concerns like:The colour isn’t strong enough - reassure them that this is simply the guide colour and that their final tan will reveal over the next few hours.Missed areas - using the Lusso Tan technique you shouldn’t miss any areas, so reassure them that all is ok.

Give this good aftercare advice:

• To avoid getting their tan wet, especially showering, bathing or swimming, for 7 hours.

•  Guide colour can be washed of with lukewarm water after 7 hours.

• To avoid soap or moisturiser with an oil base, these will fade their tan.

• For best results, after 3-4 days use Lusso Tan’s moisturising Gradual Tanning Lotion. This will prolong their tan and help skin look fresh and glowing.
