Spray Tan Tips

Each appointment begins with a full client consultation to ensure we are giving you exactly the tan you are expecting! We'll review prep, aftercare, and product recommendations.

A spray tan looks its best during the first five days, and typically last seven days with proper care. With a tan extending lotion, your spray tan can last up to two weeks. With proper prep and maintenance, your spray tan should fade away evenly around the seven to ten day mark. 

We suggest getting your spray tan two days before your event. 

Example: If your event is on a Saturday, I would suggest getting your spray tan on a Wednesday or Thursday. 

What you wear during the spray tan is completely up to you and your comfort level! Most of our clients opt to wear a bathing suit bottom or thong. You may choose to go topless.

We provide hair nets, hair ties, disposable thongs, barrier lotion, and nose filters.

Male clients are required to bring and wear their own boxers, briefs or shorts.

Exfoliating is an important step in preperation for your tan to ensure the tan develops and fades evenly. 24-48 hours before your spray tan, use a body scrub or exfoliating mitt in the shower.

The only difference between these two spray tans is the amount of time you must wait to rinse off the cosmetic bronzers. A Classic Tan must be left on for at least 8 -12 hours before rinsing. A Rapid Rinse Spray Tan allows you to rinse between 1-5 hours, depending on intended darkness.

PLEASE NOTE: Rapid Rinse does not mean rapid development. Both tans take a full 12-24 hours to fully develop color. Both tans have light-dark options.

YES! ABSOLUTELY! The only thing that will protect your skin from the sun is SPF. 

** A spray tan does not contain SPF!**

Your skin is delicate, and you already did one thing right for it by getting a safe, sunless tan. Don't backtrack with a sunburn!

What you see on your skin immediately after your spray tan is just cosmetic bronzer.  The DHA (dihydroxyacetone) in the solution, which is basically a glucose derivative, is what turns your skin brown and mimics a real tan from the sun. DHA reacts with amino acids on just the top layer of your skin. When this reaction occurs, the skin cells turn several shades darker. This is a completely safe process! During your skin's natural exfoliation cycle, the dead skin cells will shed off, which results in a fading spray tan.
