MineTan Mix & Match: Build a Custom Spray Tan Solution Kit

Learn how to choose and combine MineTan Mix & Match solutions to create a custom spray tan kit that suits different clients and skin tones.
Quick answer
Start by selecting four MineTan Pro Spray Mists that cover your most common client skin tones and finish preferences, then test each one on a small patch before building your custom kit.
Why mixing solutions is not the same as blending them
MineTan Mix & Match lets you choose four different Pro Spray Mists in one value pack, but it does not mean you should physically mix the liquids together. Each formula is designed to be used as-is, and combining them in the same cup can alter the development time and final color in unpredictable ways. Instead, treat the pack as a way to offer variety: use one solution per client, or apply different solutions in separate sessions to compare results. If you want to create a custom shade, test small ratios in separate cups first and note the outcome before using it on a client.
When four solutions are too many for your client base
If you mostly serve one skin tone range, a four-bottle kit may be more than you need. In that case, choose two core solutions and two that stretch your range slightly, so you can accommodate occasional clients without overstocking. Also consider your booking volume: solutions have a shelf life, and a kit only saves money if you use each bottle before it expires. For low-volume artists, a smaller selection with frequent reordering may be more practical than a large upfront pack.
Steps to build your custom MineTan kit
- Audit your client base: List the skin tones and finish preferences of your last 10–20 clients. Identify the most common categories so you know which solution types to prioritize. Common mistake: choosing solutions based on personal preference rather than actual client demand. Aim for at least two solutions that cover your core client group.
- Select four solutions with purpose: Pick one solution for light tones, one for medium, one for dark, and one for a specific finish (e.g., rapid or hydrating). If your client base is narrower, adjust accordingly. Checkpoint: avoid picking two solutions that serve the same purpose, as that reduces variety. Each bottle should have a clear role in your menu.
- Patch-test each solution: Before using a new solution on a full body, apply a small amount to a test patch on yourself or a willing client and let it develop fully. Note the color, fade, and any sensitivity. Common mistake: skipping this step and discovering an unexpected result during a paid appointment. Record development time and final shade for each solution.
- Label and store your kit: Keep the original bottles labeled and store them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not decant into unmarked containers. Checkpoint: write the opening date on each bottle so you can track shelf life. Proper storage protects the formula and helps you rotate stock.
- Review and reorder: After using the kit for a few weeks, note which solutions run out first and which stay on the shelf. Use that data to adjust your next order. Common mistake: reordering the same pack without checking usage, leading to expired product. Let real usage guide your next Mix & Match selection.
