So, last year I stopped getting in the tanning bed.. And so far I've done really well with sticking by it. I've been getting spray tans (Versa) for special occasions and really it hasn't bothered me not being dark all the time. I have a wedding next weekend and was wondering if anyone has ever doubled up on spray tans? If so, did you do one and the second one the best day? Usually I get the dark application with clear bronzer. Any suggestions? I'd like to be darker than it has gotten me in the past.

Ok so working in a salon with both the mystic and the versa booth has taught me a few things through trial and error. There are a few ways to make the dark application a little darker. The first would be to use a primer, honestly use one even if you dont want the darkest tan possible, but i like to add the versaspa gradual tanning spa butter to the primer before i spray. That extra bit of gradual tan will help build a deeper color and it's not going to affect your spray adhering as long as you prime as well.
The other thing would be to spray twice. My manager is native American so it takes alot for her to get darker with sunless, she sprays dark twice in a row, allowing it to dry and then going right back in for a second coat. It looks really flawless on her, she doesnt have any patchiness or peeling.
And the last thing that you can do is to spray the dark solution with bronze. Now technically the bronzer is supposed to wash off but I've found if you leave it on long enough it will help stain the skin and add extra color. Plus, with versa, the bronzer is a violet based solution so it cancels out alot of the orange tones people can get with heavy spray application. Try one of these and let us know what you think!

How long should I wait if I'm doubling up applications? Also, I always wait atleast overnight... I try to get sprayed at night then not shower til the next afternoon at the earliest. There's definitely a science to it. And, I'm a huge fan of the primer. I use the spray Everytime!

If you're doubling up. it would be best to only wait until you're dry from the first application, and then spray again immediately. you could technically spray once in the morning and then again at night or vice versa but the easiest way to layer it would be immediately. because even though its minor, we do still shed skin in that short period of time from morning to night and it could risk it fading off really patchy.

Thank you! Now, let's hope my salon allows me to double up!

Yikes I would not suggest this. Might get a little sticky!

If you're still around was wondering if you can update us; did they let you go twice in a row? I'm wondering if my salon will let me do that since they don't even carry the darkest shade of Versa.🥴
I also wondered if standing closer to the sprayer will give a darker application (or just make it uneven lol) if anyone can chime in.

At my spray tanning salon if a client wants to be super dark we recommend Norvell's Venetian One rapid solution and then do a base coat and the follow up with a second full body coat. There is a Venetian plus option but not in the rapid solution and we have found that if you keep the rapid solution on for that 4hr mark with the double coat it seems to be the darkest. Even darker than Venetian plus and double dark. So I would recommend doing a double coat of the darkest rapid solution and then just keep it on for a bit longer before rinsing it off! I don't recommend moving closer to the spray gun as it will become splotchy. Just ask for multiple passes by your technician(like a double coat).
