Do you have experience with bald heads? Could you give me any recommendations for spray tanning them?

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to finally welcome you all to The Tanning Academy UK, a community built for spray tan artists who want to learn, grow, and truly make an impact in our industry. 💫 I started this group because, over the years, I’ve seen how much the tanning industry can grow when we truly support one another and keep learning. I also know how challenging this business can be, it’s often seasonal, with poor-quality courses, little trainer support, and a lack of guidance around marketing and business growth. I know that sometimes our friends or family don’t fully understand what we go through: the late nights, the self-doubt, or the effort we put into every tan. Having people around us who do understand, who celebrate our wins and lift us when we’re struggling, can make such a difference. This space is here for exactly that: to connect, exchange knowledge, talk about marketing, techniques, and challenges. Celebrate every achievement together. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, your voice truly matters here. There’s no golden rule in this industry, what works for me might not work for you, and that’s completely okay. That’s why I’d really love you to share your experiences and thoughts. Networking is powerful - you never know who you might inspire, who might help you, or who you might help along the way. 🤎 ✨ Let’s start by getting to know each other! In the comments, please share: 1️⃣ Your name and where you’re from (city & country) 2️⃣ How long you’ve been in the tanning industry 3️⃣ Your Instagram handle 4️⃣ A photo of your workspace (optional — but I’d love to see your setup!) Let’s build something truly special together - a supportive, positive space where we all glow and grow. 🌟 Izabela Founder of Spray Tan Leicester & The Tanning Academy UK

I have a redhead client with Fitzpatrick skin type I. I used a 6% overnight solution with 10 hours development time. She says she looks orange. From the photos, I honestly don’t see it. But if that’s how she feels, I take it seriously. What would you recommend as a solution? Would it be better to use a rapid solution and let her rinse after one hour? Or should I stick with overnight but shorten the development time? I’m really surprised that this could happen with such a low DHA percentage. What are your experiences with skin type I?

Hi everyone 🤎 I just wanted to check if this is normal with a spray gun in particular the M-Series. I’ve noticed that when I tilt it too far the solution leaks out from around the rim of the cup. I haven’t experienced this with my previous spray guns (both very different from this spray gun), so I’m wondering if this is expected for this type of gun or if it could be an issue with the lid seal. I’d really appreciate your thoughts before I contact the supplier. Thank you

I hope this discussion doesn’t already exist — if it does, please let me know. I’m currently looking for a new extraction system. At the moment I’m still using my tent plus filter. It’s really hard to find something good — I’m based in Germany. Of course I love SprayGon Booth, but it’s so expensive to buy and to get shipped here. All in all, you quickly end up at around €6,000. What do you think about the alternatives on the market (e.g. Sienna, Norvell, etc.)? What are you using and what are you happy with? Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!
