BEFORE YOU SPRAY TAN

For best results, use a non oily exfoliating scrub such as brown sugar or sea-salt preferably 24 hours prior to your appointment.

Store bought exfoliants tend to have oil in them, please check the ingredients; do not use them prior to your appointment if they have any  oil. Sea salt, brown sugar, and ground coffee are all great oil free natural exfoliants.

If needed, Shave or wax  24 hours prior to your appointment.

Manicure and/or pedicure should be done prior to spray tan appointment.

Make up must be removed if you want to spray your face.

Do not moisturize prior to your appointment.

Do not apply Deodorant or perfume prior to your appointment.

Do not apply anything on your skin that might prevent the product from absorbing.

Wear dark colored undergarments to be sprayed in. Women may spray with or without undergarments,   men must wear shorts/underwear.

Do not use Dove brand products before or after your spray tan.

If you spray tanned 7 days or more before your appointment, you should remove your tan before your next spray tan.

Wear Dark, loose, non strappy clothing and flip flops the day of your appointment or bring a change or clothes that meets this criteria.

SPRAY TAN APPOINTMENT PROCESS

Consultation with Professional Spray tan Artist: your spray tan artist will ask you some questions in regards to your skin and desired results, she will then choose the best product for you. Next, your Spray Tan Artist will create a Solution custom blended and specially designed for your skin tone and type.

You will prepare for the spray tan, this is up to you and your level of comfort, women may spray tan nude, men must wear underwear or shorts. We recommend wearing a snug dark swimsuit or underwear during your spray tan appointment,

Spray Tan Application by Professional Spray Tan Artist: you will be sprayed. This process will take approximately  15 minutes. After spraying, your skin should be dry before putting your clothes back on and you should not bathe or sweat excessively for 8-12 hours (premium) or 1-4 hours (premium express).

Spray Tan Results: The solution will give you an immediate bronzing effect. The bronzing effect is a result of a temporary cosmetic bronzer in the solution that will remain on the skin until your first shower. When you choose to Spray tan with our Premium Spray Tan Solution, the cosmetic bronzer will come off to reveal your sunless DHA tan. When you choose our Premium Express Spray tan Solution the tan will be very light (or no tan will be present) and will develop in approximately 12 hours after application.

With both solutions (Premium and Premium Express) The Spray Tan will continue to develop for up to 24 hours unless you take a shower with soap.

 Your spray tan artist will give you specific instructions the day of your appointment in regards to shower times depending on your desired results.


The solution will wash out of most clothing but it may stain some fabrics so we recommend that you wear dark loose fitting clothes and put a towel on  seats/chairs to avoid staining and rubbing off the tan.

Please contact us via text if you have any questions regarding the Spray tanning process.
