If you're a tan salon owner or spray tan artist, you know the drill: stocking multiple bottles for light, medium, dark, and ultra-dark shades. Different formulas, different inventory headaches, and clients who can't decide which shade to commit to.
What if one bottle could do it all?
Introducing the Universal Tanning Solution
Our universal tanning product is a game-changer for professionals. One bottle delivers three customisable shades based on development time - giving your clients total control over their final result.
Here's how it works:
- 4 hours = Medium tan - A natural, sun-kissed glow perfect for everyday wear
- 6 hours = Dark tan - A deeper, more bronzed finish for that holiday look
- 8 hours = Ultra dark tan - Maximum depth for clients who want serious colour
Same application. Same technique. The only variable is how long your client leaves it on before showering.
Why salons and tan artists love it
Simplified inventory
Instead of juggling multiple solutions, you stock one versatile product. Less shelf space, less waste, and easier reordering.
Client flexibility
Your clients aren't locked into one shade. First-timers can start with 4 hours and go darker next time. Regulars can adjust based on the season or occasion. It's personalisation without the guesswork.
Consistent application
You apply the same way every time. No switching techniques or worrying about different formulas behaving differently. Your process stays streamlined, and your results stay professional.
Fewer mistakes
When clients control the development time at home, they can rinse earlier if they're nervous about going too dark. It takes the pressure off both of you during the appointment.
How to guide your clients
Clear communication is key. After application, give your clients simple instructions:
"Leave the tan on for 4 hours for a medium shade, 6 hours for dark, or 8 hours for ultra dark. Rinse in lukewarm water without soap, pat dry, and moisturise daily to extend your tan."
You can also provide a small card or digital guide with development times and aftercare tips. The clearer you are upfront, the happier your clients will be with their results.
Perfect for mobile artists and salon setups
Whether you're working from a treatment room or travelling to clients, this universal solution makes your kit lighter and more efficient. One bottle means less to carry, less to track, and more flexibility in how you work.
For salons offering memberships or packages, it also simplifies pricing. You're not charging different rates based on shade - just one consistent service with client-controlled results.
Professional results, every time
A universal tanning solution doesn't mean compromising on quality. When formulated properly, it delivers even colour, smooth fade, and that natural finish your clients expect from a professional tan.
The key is in the application and aftercare guidance you provide. Your expertise ensures the tan goes on flawlessly, and your clients' development time choice ensures they get exactly the shade they want.
