FAQs:
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE A SPRAY TAN?
It’s not advised to be spray tanned for the first time when your appearance is critical (such as a wedding or special occasion) so it’s suggested to do a trial tan ahead of time to make sure you’re comfortable with the color level, aftercare, etc. Spray tans usually look their best ~2 days before an event or photo shoot. Always make sure your spray tan is your LAST scheduled beauty service following any hair, nail, lash, facial, or waxing appointments! Please note that spray tans are currently booked by request only, so please reach out via the contact form to schedule.

HOW DO I PREP FOR A SPRAY TAN?
For flawless, even application it’s essential to shave + exfoliate within 24 hours before your session (I always recommend using something fragrance-free like a loofa or tanning glove!) Drink plenty of water throughout the day to hydrate the body and skin; hydration starts from the inside!
Avoid using makeup, perfumes, deodorants, lotions, and oil-based products the day of your tanning session- they could act as a barrier, causing an uneven development and lessening the longevity of your spray tan.
​
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
It is always best to wear dark, loose-fitting clothing to + from your appointment, and shoes that can easily slide on and off. No leggings, socks, or anything tight/restrictive! Any cosmetic bronzer that rubs onto your clothing usually washes right out. If it’s raining, you’ll need to cover your tan as much as possible to avoid splotching, so be sure to have an umbrella with you!
​
What to wear during the spray tan application depends completely on your comfort level- some choose to wear a dark swimsuit or underwear, and some prefer no tan lines. Disposable undergarments are also provided.
​
"I DON'T WANT TO LOOK TOO DARK! WILL I BE ORANGE?"
Spray tan solution contains the active ingredient Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which gives an immediate bronzing effect once applied and will remain on your skin until your actual tan develops underneath. How dark it gets depends on which solution you choose and how long that solution needs to develop!
​
Traditional aloe vera solutions can be rinsed off within 8-24 hours, and rapid solutions can be rinsed off after 1-5 hours. All solutions we carry are an olive or violet base to best compliment your skin’s undertones and cancel out any “orange” appearances!
​
HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY SPRAY TAN?
While developing for the recommended time, you’ll need to avoid getting wet, crying, sweating, and friction. The first shower should be a “bird bath” to rinse off the cosmetic bronzer- no shampooing your hair yet. Be sure to pat dry with a towel and moisturize immediately after!
​
To keep your tan lasting and fading evenly, apply an oil and fragrance-free moisturizer 2 times daily. Shaving, chlorine + salt water, or using harsh soaps and exfoliating skincare products will shorten the lifespan of your tan. Otherwise, results can last for up to 7-10 days.
​
CAN I JUST SPRAY TAN CERTAIN PARTS OF MY BODY?
Yes! Half-body spray tans (waist up or legs only) are half-priced.
