    Default I just got my first one on one air brush spray tan..

    ...and I was inspired by the colonic thread in whether to tip my air brush tech or not?

    I asked her if she accepted tips and she said it would be enough of a tip if I became a repeat customer and gave me a free lip balm for being a first time client.

    I still felt awkward about not tipping. Should I have tipped her anyway?

    (Btw, my man said it made me look like I had been in Jamaica...for a month!)

    Nah. It is very likely she was the owner or a partner. Those places are usually small operations. In which case, she meant what she said. I hope it works for you. I tried it once and looked diseased.

    Actually, this stuff is remarkable! It fades so evenly and not a blotch in sight, not even on my face! And the stuff they put in it makes your skin feel very soft.

    It's kinda pricey. Idealistically, it should be done once a week. I would mos def do it again.

    I love getting airbrushed tans.

    I got one done out of a woman's basement, she had it set up to do the tanning and was very wonderful, and informed me it was customary to tip $5-$10. The tan itself cost $45.

    I'm starting to think tipping everyone is just a Vegas thing. Since most people out here work for tips, tipping becomes the norm and everyone expects a tip, wether they are entitled to it or not.

    ^ that's probably true, because no one here outright asks for a tip. and a spray on tan is never more than $30.

    we dont tip for services such as these in australia. im just curious is any and every service something you tip for? over here the only places would be in restaurants, bars and sometimes (rarely) in cabs. I would be so confused as to who to tip and how much to tip if i went to US.

    Sorry for threadjack.

    I have been getting spray tans for years, I love them. Cannot get a result lilke that doing it for yourself. I ended up buying a compressor myself and my boyfriend spray tans me in summer. I bought in on ebay. The reason for this is coz it costs about $40 here and it was getting very expensive getting it done every week.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    Chocolate Sun salon has their own formula. It's full of anit-oxicidents, vitamin E and all that stuff. I must admit that it does not smell nearly as bad as mystic or other self tanner I have used.

    You might want to try calling them and coaxing it out of them

    Hmmm... maybe they can recommend somewhere up here I can go. I love Tan Bella in the Castro, their beds are FABULOUS! But they only have a mystic-like machine that's ok, and I really want an airbrush tan again.
