Western Mail go undercover testing Fake Tans!
Last month – August – Western Mails Emily Woodrow sent in a team of undercover uninitiated tanners to sample a selection of the Spray Tan Services offered by salons in the Cardiff area.
It’s always good to hear about this kind of ‘sampling’ especially when those involved are not regular users of sunless tanning products, as they tend to be the most critical and that’s what we need to ensure we are still providing the very best product in the industry today.
In all, they visited 5 different Salons and were able to test 5 different manufacturers products. This included the expertise of the Spray Tan Technician applying the tan and providing helpful advice, through to the application of the Spray Tan and their experience with the tan afterwards.
Western Mail sent their undercover tanner to Tans & Hands at Crwys Road in Cardiff to test out Celebrity Secrets Spray Tan and this is what their reporter had to say…
“The salon is a small, clean and friendly set-up, and they offer evening appointments – though be warned they book up in advance. My therapist Katy talked me through what colour I could achieve. Unlike other systems where you select from a light, medium or dark, this reacts to your skin tone, with a grading scale from 6-22% – although 16% tends to be the highest they go. The tan takes eight hours to develop during which I had to avoid getting wet. I was advised it would get darker and patchy in the first few hours, but that this would disappear after a shower. It looked natural, not at all orangey, with no streaks. Adhering to a strict moisturising regime, it disappeared evenly”
They gave the Celebrity Secrets Spray Tan 4.5/5 and of course, we were not surprised to hear that even though we were up against some of the higher profile brands, we achieved the highest mark!
We are of course grateful that Tans & Hands represented our brand so beautifully, though you can expect similar service with any professional using our products as we provide full training and certification for our Professional Spray Tan Technicians.
