Tell me about.... Double Dark Solution! 

IMPORTANT NOTE:  This is a SPECIALTY PRODUCT, to be used for SPECIAL REQUESTS, for SPECIAL EVENTS!  THIS SOLUTION IS NOT FOR DAILY USE IN YOUR SALON!

Why do we manufacture Double Dark Solution?  Double Dark solution is one of the newest stock solutions formulated by Norvell.  Double Dark was introduced at the request of many of our customers.  This solution is recommended for SPECIAL EVENT TANNING ONLY!  Double Dark solution does NOT produce NATURAL tanning results, and does not conform to Norvell's idea of a Natural, Healthy-Looking Tan.

When would Norvell recommend using Double Dark?  Norvell only recommends using Double Dark for SPECIAL EVENT Tanning and clients who have a naturally dark - dark skin tone. 

Recommended Events/Clients:

  • Body Builders

  • Pageant Contestants

  • Dance Recitals

  • Performing Arts

This solution is for clients who are not concerned with the long term results of a sunless tan. They are looking to be tan Right Now! Double Dark Bronzing solution contains double the levels of cosmetic bronzers found in Norvell's Dark Bronzing Solution. This solution is best suited for the darkest of skin tones, and is ideal for clients who desire the richest of instant color. With the additional cosmetic bronzers, the client will experience patchy wear off, and uneven lasting results.

What are the precautions that need to be taken when spraying Double Dark solution?  It is important to understand that the level of instant bronzers found in Double Dark solution is highly concentrated, creating the darkest in instant color of all the Norvell Solutions.  It is very important to convey to the client the additional bronzers are cosmetic only and the DHA (long term) results are no greater than our Dark Solution. The cosmetic bronzers do offer slight residual color, and may enhance the tanning results, however a majority of the color will disappear during the first shower. 

Norvell in no way recommends Double Dark for daily salon use!  Double Dark solution is NOT recommend for fair or extremely light skinned individuals.  You cannot turn Snow White into an Island Goddess!

The instant color appears darker that the natural color produced by the DHA, clients tan will appear to fade quickly and the majority of the tan will wash down the drain with their first shower. 

Double Dark instant bronzers will rub and wear-off prior to the clients first shower.  This will be extremely visible in the following areas:  knees, elbows, waist band, bra bands, and anywhere clothing may rub over the course of the day.  This rubbing/wear-off will result in a patchy look and uneven results.  It is important to let your clients know this prior to the tanning session.

Uneducated clients and Technicians may produce results that leave the client unhappy with their spray tanning experience, as well as the technician with the product performance. Knowing how Double Dark solution works can combat any issues that may arise, and educating customers on what to expect will keep them happy, referral giving and coming back for additional tanning sessions themselves!
