Frequently asked questions

We will consult with you to understand your desired color and needs. From beginning to end, the session will take approximately 30 minutes – the actual spray tan takes about 10 minutes or less. The dihydroxyacetone or DHA will continue to develop over the next 24 hours. This is what gives you a beautiful, lasting glow. Depending on how well you care for your tan it could last 5-10 days. We will review instructions once your session is complete.

In order to obtain the best, most desirable results possible it is important to follow these steps:

24-48 hours prior to your appointment please exfoliate to remove dead skin cells and shave to ensure a more flawless tan. Do not shower or rinse within 12 hours of your session.  Daily products you use can leave a residue creating a barrier on your skin.  Should this happen your tan may streak and/or not be as dark.  Please remove all makeup, deodorant, lotions and perfume before your appointment. These products will cause a “peeling” effect, leave a green residue on your skin and will not allow the spray tan to penetrate or develop properly.

Dark loose-fitting clothing like sweatpants and a t-shirt or a sundress, slide type sandals or loose flip flops. Please avoid tight clothes like yoga pants, leggings, jeggings, skinny jeans, sports bras, tennis shoes, boots etc. Should you wear a bra to your session please do not put it back on afterwards as it could leave lines or rub the tan off. Make sure to remove all jewelry prior to your appointment.

During your session you may wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable.  If you choose to wear underwear, a bra, or a swimsuit please make sure they are dark in color.  Our solution is water based and will wash out of MOST fabrics.  However, we cannot guarantee this.  Side note: Men MUST wear shorts, underwear or swim trunks.

Our classic solution allows you to rinse 8-10 hours after your session while our rapid solution gives you the convenience of rinsing within 2-4 hours after your session.  The first rinse is just that a rinse in luke-warm water, no soap or body wash, shampoo/conditioner etc.  These will strip the DHA and ruin your tan.  At first rinse it will appear as though your tan is “going down the drain”.  Not to worry that is only the cosmetic bronzer. The DHA used in the solution continues to develop on your skin.  Rinse until the water runs clear.  Your next shower may commence as usual.  However, do not use loofahs, wash cloths or anything that will exfoliate your tan.  When drying off please pat dry.  DO NOT rub.  Both tanning options take 24 hours to fully develop no matter which one you choose. Do not sweat, workout or swim until after you have rinsed.

Stay hydrated and moisturize your skin twice a day.  We also offer an aftercare system of products that work together to extend the life of your tan such as body wash, silky moisturizing lotion, tan extender and self-tanning mousse.

Refrain from any and all DOVE or OIL OF OLAY products.  These will strip your tan quickly.  Stay away from products with baby oil, mineral oil, alcohols, Alpha Hydroxy Acid and fragranced soaps.  Use pH Balanced body washes that are clear. These are best for spray tans.  Please continue to use an SPF that is oil-free and water-resistant – NOT the kind you spray on.  Spray tans do not protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays.

All spa services including but not limited to manicures, pedicures, massages, waxing, facials etc should be done 24-48 hours prior to your session.

Surely! The luxury line of solutions we use are the safest way to achieve the most natural looking tan and color you desire. Our products are derived from natural ingredients, vegan, non-toxic, talc-free and certified by the Peta Foundation. We always recommend that you consult with your physician prior to scheduling your session.  Please bring the release from your physician.

No matter what the event, we know it is important to you.  Therefore, we recommend you book a trial session 2-4 weeks prior to your event. This allows us to select the perfect color for your desired darkness and make any necessary adjustments.  When booking for your actual event please book 2-3 days before. *We require a trial if you’re the bride booking for your wedding.

Absolutely not.  Each formula is custom blended to match the undertones of your skin to provide a smooth, flawless color.

We are following COVID-19 guidelines in our studio.

At this time, masks are not required for patrons, however, if you do choose to wear a mask during your appointment, we will briefly have you remove the mask at the end of the service for us to tan your facial area. If a facial tan is not preferred, you are welcome to leave your mask on during the duration of the service if you choose.

Our studio is regularly sanitized with an extra-strength disinfectant that kills 99.9% of germs and viruses.

Surely!  We have a "tan line correction" add-on that you can add to any spray tan option.  We use a special gun to blend those stubborn tan lines away.
