  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."

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.
