Where should the hairnet be placed on a client before a spray tan?

Placing the hairnet 1 inch behind the hairline with the ears out is optimal for spray tanning. This positioning allows for adequate coverage of the hair while preventing the spray tan solution from reaching the hairline directly, which helps in achieving a clean look without dramatic tan lines on the forehead or temples. Keeping the ears uncovered ensures that the tanning solution does not saturate the hair and allows for a more even tan around the face.

This approach balances protection of the hair while allowing the tanning solution to be applied effectively to the areas of the skin around the face and neck. Proper placement is crucial for ensuring that the tan develops evenly and enhances the client's natural features without creating unwanted marks or patches.
