What personal information should clients provide before their tanning session?

Clients should provide information about their skin type, tanning experience, and any skin conditions or medications before their tanning session to ensure their safety and optimize the tanning results. This information is crucial because it helps the tanning technician to assess the client's suitability for various tanning options, including the appropriate intensity and duration of exposure. Understanding a client's skin type is essential to avoid adverse reactions, such as burns or uneven tanning, especially for those who may have sensitive skin or are taking medications that can increase photosensitivity. Additionally, knowing a client's previous tanning experience can inform the technician about any preferences or tolerances the client may have regarding tanning products and procedures. This comprehensive assessment promotes a safe and effective tanning environment.
