I would like a spray tan and the local salons offer the above types - any recommendations please? Many thanks

I had St Tropez done about a week and a half ago. It lasted about a week and faded well, mainly because I exfoliated on day 3 and moisturised every day. It whiffs a bit and you'll look a bit filthy until you shower off the guide colour, but I think it does a good job. Weirdly she didn't ask me to wear a hairnet this time so I think my blonde highlights took a hammering, but it washed out!

What sort of colouring are you? St tropez and fake bake both have good reps (no idea about sienna x), it might depend on the look you're going for.
I'm dark haired and quite pale, and found St T a bit too yellow hued for my complexion (still a lovely tan otherwise). I think it might look better on lighter haired people.
Had a FB spray and DIY lotion a few times and always had lots of compliments on that, and thought it suited me better it's more of a bronze colour. Both lasted and faded well.

Are they in offer I'm the same place? If a salon has a few types they will usually suggest a brand dependent on your colouring and the look you're after.

Have tried all 3 and fake bake gets my vote every time. found ST too orangey for my skin and the SX tended to fade quite patchily...

I would go for Fake Bake.

Fake Bake every time.
