    TENNESSEE MOSQUE APPROVED TO OPEN
    July 19, 2012 - United States

    A US judge overturned a lower court's order in order to allow the congregation to use their mosque in Rutherford county, Tennessee. A lower court had previously ruled that the county could not issue an occupancy permit for the mosque, but the representatives of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro sued the county and won the right to use the building just in time for worshipers to gather for the month of Ramadan. Despite ruling in the Islamic Center's favor, county officials stated that they would be unable to complete final inspections that would make the building ready for use. Residents of the community filed a lawsuit against the mosque in 2010 stating that Islam was not a real religion. The US justice department filed a lawsuit in the mosque's favor stating that the county was holding it to different standards than other places of worship.

Dark or Natural
Article written June 1, 2010

As summer approaches we hear more requests from our clients that they want to receive the darkest possible sunless tan. Even though it's June, this sends shivers down our spines. As technicians, we want to accommodate our customers but know that darker shades or over spraying your client is not the answer.

The first thing we need to do is to take a deep cleansing breath. Remember the goal of a sunless tan is to look pretty and natural. Advise your clients that a darker level of solution may not look natural on certain skin tones.

Understanding How DHA Works:
The primary ingredient in all sunless solutions is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone). DHA reacts with the amino acids on the epidermis causing a bronzed color to appear. In other words, DHA adheres to the dead skin cells. As the cells begin to shed so does the DHA attached to it.

All sunless solutions contain a certain percentage of DHA. Professional grade solutions can range anywhere from 5% to 12%. A higher percent of DHA will produce a deeper result. Keep in mind the more DHA concentration in the solution the more the color changes from a golden brown to a red brown.

You cannot apply a deeper color by over-spraying your clients. Skin can only absorb a certain amount of solution in a single session. Over-spraying your clients will only waste your solution. In addition, using too high a percent of DHA on lighter skin will produce an unnatural color and have patchy fading.

Many solutions add a temporary bronzer to their solution. DHA take between 4 to 8 hours to fully develop on the skin. Temporary bronzers allow the technician to see where the solution is being applied and gives the client sees immediate color. The bronzer will wash off during the first shower.

Why Are Sol Potion Solutions Unique:
Our solutions were developed to allow the technician to use as is, or blend any combination of the four levels to personalize a shade for your clients. Many of our salons and spas create their own ?beauty bar of shades. By blending your own shades you can make colors that truly match your client's skin tone making it the most natural looking tan for their skin type. These can be premixed and ready for a client session or prepared at the session.

When you have the flexibility of using the proper colors on your clients, they will love the results and keep coming back for more. This will make you stand out over your competition.
