Default DHA drops???

We have a bottle of drops, that are supposed to increase the DHA in our spray solution. But we do not know how many to use. The drops are from Breeze. How many drops equal a percentage increase of DHA i.e. 10.5 + X amount of drops makes a new solution of 11.5 percent DHA?

Also, do you charge extra for it?

Not sure on drops to add to your solution, but definitely charge extra. Sounds like an "upgrade" to me.. Call your sales rep. They can tell you how many to add

We charge $5 for two drops. All it seems to do is make them look black as hell when they walk out the door (I'm talkin Jerome type black!). I don't see a huge diffrence from the drops 2 days later though.

I use react dha drops (34% DHA)

reacts instructions are:

"Use one dropper full per ounce of solution to increase the overall concentration of your airbrush bottle by 1%"

we use a 35% drop @ 1 drop per 100ml increases the volumized solution concentration by +1%.

In the UK we don't charge extra but therapists offer bespoke solution percentages to customers...mix up a 100ml volume in a gun cup add required booster drops to achieve the customers specific concentrate percentage...shake well...spray customer ...pour whats left back into a bottle with lid...write customers name on bottle...show them and its ready for them next time...
Some therapists will charge for two applications if bespoke mixing so customer has to come back and use it all up..therapist gets paid up front for something she hasn't done as yet.

Some say this brings in additional business as it sets them above other therapists in the area....apparently the ladies while out clubbing compare tan percentages and go back and try a different percentage simply because their best friend had it and looked better than her kind of stuff..

Good marketing advantages over other operators to be had if you get it right.
