MAKE THE CONVERSATION COUNT

Your client consultation guide.

Past tans

Have you had a spray tan before? What did you love, and is there anything you’d like to look different this time?

Desired result

What color and depth are you hoping for? Do you have a photo of a result you love? What does “natural” or “dark” mean to you?

Skin and undertone

How does your skin usually respond to the sun? Does your skin appear more warm, cool or neutral in natural light? Use these as guides alongside your client’s preferences.

Timing and preparation

Is there an event or travel coming up? When can you rinse? Walk me through your prep and the products you’ve used today.

Comfort and expectations

Do you have questions about the appointment, development, or aftercare? Explain the first rinse and confirm the plan together before the client leaves.

LET’S GET INTENTIONAL

The solution starts here.

Answer a few questions about this appointment.

NO CLIENT NAME NEEDED.
OPTIONAL PHOTO ASSISTANCE.

There isn’t just one solution for every client. Use these recommendations as a starting point, explore your options, and trust your judgment. Rapid rinse times are general guidance; results vary by client, application, and formula. Follow the product directions and choose the plan that fits your client.

THE CLIENT CONSULTATION
OPTIONAL / PHOTO ASSIST

Undertone Assist.

Unsure of your client’s undertone? This can be a helpful starting point. Upload a photo and we’ll do our best to suggest an undertone based on what we can see. A well-lit photo in natural, indirect daylight with no visible tan, filters, or makeup works best. Include only the area needed; a face is not required.

JPG, PNG or WebP · up to 10 MB. The preview stays local until you select Check photo & analyze. A resized copy is then sent to OpenAI. Glazed does not save photos; OpenAI may retain API data under its policies. Data policy →

AI checks photo quality before offering a tentative visible undertone. Lighting, makeup and existing tan can affect it. Confirm with your client; skin type, DHA and rinse time are not determined from a photo.

01 What is their undertone?
02 What depth do they want?
03 What is their skin type?

Fitzpatrick types describe the skin’s usual response to sun exposure. Ask about their history—not just how their skin looks today.

Skin type is separate from undertone and does not predict DHA development. AF Violet is suited to types II–VI with neutral to warm undertones. About the scale →

04 What did they think of their last tan?

Choose the closest fit. Their feedback helps shape the conversation.

05 Any format preference?

A little Glazed guidance, with your artistry and your client at the heart of every choice.

LET’S KEEP IT SIMPLE

Color theory & DHA, made simple.

What does the bronzer blend do?

Bronzer helps determine the tone of the tan, creating different shades of brown—from cool and neutral to warm. The bronzers in Glazed Sunless solutions stain the skin for the first 2–5 days of the tan.

What does DHA do?

DHA determines the depth, or how dark the tan outcome is. With a classic solution, depth is based on the DHA percentage. With a rapid solution, rinse time helps determine the depth.

MAKE IT YOURS

The DHA mixing guide.

Use this guide to create a custom DHA blend for a classic 8–10 hour rinse. Choose two percentages and set your ratio.

For example, 1:1 is equal parts; 2:1 uses twice as much of the first solution.

A typical application uses approximately 2–2.5 oz; adjust your application to your client and technique.

LET’S WORK THROUGH IT

The Troubleshooting Studio.

Every artist has questions. Let’s look at what may have happened, what you can do, and what to keep in mind next time.

No client details needed. Answers are not saved. Possible causes are prompts for your consultation, not a diagnosis of the tan.

COLOR THEORY, MADE SIMPLE

A lesson on color theory.

Color theory helps you determine which bronzer shade may best suit your client to create their most natural, true-to-tan brown. It’s a suggestion—everyone’s preferences are different, but color theory is a great place to start. Choose an undertone to explore your options.

Color theory is a helpful visual guide, not a guarantee of a developed shade. Undertone, skin type, the client’s preferences, application, and the formula all matter. Glazed’s cosmetic bronzers contribute to tone and stain the skin for the first 2–5 days; DHA helps determine depth. Heat is clear and has no cosmetic bronzer for color correction.
