When you work in tanning, you learn that the small things make the biggest difference to the final result. Exfoliating wipes are one of those often-overlooked tools that can completely change how evenly a tan develops especially when clients arrive with stubborn product build-up or patchy areas they simply can’t reach. Recently I tested the Kissed by Mii Seriously Smoothing Exfoliating Wipes. 👉 Where I Bought Them & Cost You can open a wholesale account through Gerrard International https://gerrardinternational.com/brands/mii/ but the first order must be £200, which isn’t ideal if you’re just testing a product. So instead, I ordered directly from their official website: https://miicosmetics.com/product/seriously-smoothing-exfoliating-wipes/ I paid £5 per pack of 25 wipes, making them very cost-effective compared to many other brands. 👉Comparison price with Norvell Exfoliating Wipes: Norvell wipes are a well-known option in the spray tan industry. However: Norvell trade price: £3 each, Norvell retail price: £5.99 each. One Norvell wipe is designed for full-body exfoliation. Norvell wipes are significantly larger Kissed by Mii wipes, on the other hand: Cost £5 for a pack of 25, meaning you pay 20p per wipe Each wipe is smaller, so one is not enough for a full-body exfoliation (£3 trade price) However, they’re excellent for targeted smaller areas. 👍If your goal is to increase profit and charge extra for a premium add-on, go for Norvell. But if you want something you can blend seamlessly into the price of your service without increasing the cost, Mii is the better option. 👉Ingredients List (as printed on the packaging) Aqua, Allantoin, Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Disodium Coco-Glucoside Citrate, C18-22 Hydroxyalkyl Hydroxypropyl Guar, Olus Oil, Glycerin, Lauryl Glucoside, Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Glyceryl Oleate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Lactic Acid, Coco-Glucoside, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Tocopherol, Parfum.

Hey, I've just finished reading the face contouring manual. I'm curious how popular it actually is. I feel like face tan wears off so quickly that contouring seems like a waste. I have had clients jokingly asking me to add abs and I totally get that's a thing, but curious about the face 🤔

Your cost per tan? Your variable and fixed costs? Most spray tan artists guess their numbers… but guessing is the fastest way to slow down your growth. I’ve prepared a mini training module showing you exactly how to calculate your own costs, run a sustainable business, and make a real profit you can reinvest back into your salon. And yes it includes a downloadable example spreadsheet, so no more guessing… just clear calculations and easy expense tracking. Stay tuned - I’ll be uploading it this weekend! 💬 Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever worked out your cost per tan… or if this is something you really need!

Ladies, so last night I had a Polish lady in whose English was very limited.. With all new clients I always do a Fitzpatrick Assessment... but she really couldn't understand the questions asked on the form... but I found this on line today and wondered if anyone had one? Is it any good? Any feedback would be welcome 🙏 TIA 😊

Techs have you ever had clients get dizzy or even faint in your tent/studio? I’ve had two young clients 16 & 17 actually faint in the past month. They were both ok thankfully. Fortunately I’d heard this can happen, so I wasn’t totally shocked in the moment. Both clients had different causes - one was dehydrated and hadn’t eaten for hours, and the other was extremely anxious about her formal (which I picked up on as soon as she started talking to me prior to starting). The rise in one clients body temp after she fainted caused so much perspiration that it created quite a few drip streaks on her arms, mid-back, and neck. I had completed 3/4 of her tan so I had to blend like crazy! Would love to hear if any of you have had this experience?
