Spray Tan Prep & Care
-
Shower, shave, and exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment
To exfoliate, use an exfoliation mitt. Forgo using a body scrub as this will leave a residue.
Avoid bar soap or a cream base soap such as Dove as these products leave a residue on the skin.
Shower the day before your appointment. If you are showering on the same day as your appointment, shower at least 4 hours before your tan so that your body’s PH neutralizes before your spray tan.
If you need to shower less than 4 hours before your appointment. Rinse with cool water at the end of your shower to close your pores.
Complete any pedicure, manicure, spa treatments and facial appointments at least 1 day before your spray tan.
-
Do not apply lotion, oils, deodorant, or perfume before your appointment.
These can create a barrier on the skin that can impact your tan.
We provide complimentary disposables including thongs, nipple covers, hairnet, and nose plugs. If you would like to wear your own bra/underwear please note the bronzer will transfer onto these items, but will come out in the wash. We encourage you to dress to your desired level of comfort during your appointment.
-
Do not get wet or sweat
Any contact with water could stop the tan development in that area and cause an uneven tan.
If you come in contact with water during your development period gently dab the area with a clean foundation brush.
No touching
Do not touch your body or face. Avoid resting your face on your palms after your tan. This can result in the tan transferring to the palms of your hands and can look unnatural.
Rinse at your instructed time
At your specified shower time take a lukewarm shower with water only. The bronzer will start to rinse off. Rinse until the water runs clear.
Classic tan – 8-12 hour rinse time
Rapid tan – 2-4 hour rinse time depending on the time specified by your technician
For a rapid tan, if you rinse before or after your specified time it can result in a different tan depth than desired.
-
Moisturize
Wait to moisturize 24 hours after your tan. This will ensure you do not impact the development of your tan.
Moisturize with cream or lotion free of alcohol and mineral oils
Moisture is the key to a long lasting and evenly fading tan
Moisturize 2x a day to maintain tan longevity
Avoid chlorine, hot showers, hot tubs, etc.
These activities naturally exfoliate your skin and will cause the tan to fade faster.
Avoid exfoliation
Avoid loofahs, shaving with a moisture stick, and body scrubs until you’re ready to take off your tan

Both formulas offer the same color results and longevity.
The difference is the rinse off time. During your consultation, we will discuss what solution will be best for your schedule. Classic rinse requires you to rinse at 8-12 hours post spray tan and rapid rinse requires you to rinse 2-6 hours post spray tan depending on your desired depth.
With a rapid tan, your color will not be visible post rinse. It will continue to develop over the next 24 hours.
-
Proper prep and aftercare is crucial to making your spray tan last. Please follow our prep and care instructions to ensure longevity of your tan. On average, your tan will gradually fade in around 5-10 days.
-
We recommend scheduling your appointment 2 days prior to your event and 1-2 days prior to a vacation.
-
Our solutions are vegan, paraben free and formulated with clean ingredients. Most expectant mothers are able to get a spray tan; however, we encourage you to receive consent from your physician before getting a spray tan. To request an ingredient list of our solutions for your physician for review, please contact us via email.

Yes, a spray tan does not protect from UV rays so you are able to still tan or burn in the sun. We recommend wearing a spray tan safe sunscreen to protect against UV rays.
-
We require a card on file in order to book your appointment. You will not be charged until after your spray tan appointment, or unless you cancel / no- show to your appointment. We are a cash less business, but we accept all major credit cards.

-
We do not recommend receiving a spray tan if you currently have or are recovering from a sunburn. Sunburned skin will shed unevenly, leading to patchy and inconsistent results. Sunburns can affect the skin for up to 4–6 weeks, even if the redness has faded. If you choose to move forward with a spray tan while healing from a sunburn, please understand that we cannot guarantee results and do not offer re-sprays or refunds in these cases.
Bridal Spray Tan FAQ
-
We recommend getting your spray tan for your wedding 1 day before your rehearsal dinner. If you do not have a rehearsal dinner, we recommend booking your tan ideally 2 days before your wedding.
-
We use a solution with a small amount of bronzers to ensure it will not transfer onto your dress. Our solution has minimal bronzer transfer after the first soap rinse. We have tanned many brides for their big day without issues of bronzer transfer. For preservation of your wedding dress, we do recommend getting your dress dry cleaned after your wedding.
-
We highly recommend a trial tan before your big day as it allows us to perfect your bridal tan. For brides who have never received a spray tan, a trial tan is required. Bonus is you can use your trial tan for other bridal events leading up to the big day such as your makeup trial, bachelorette, or bridal shower. The bridal package saves you $20.
-
We recommend you get your trial tan at least 2 weeks prior to your wedding.
-
When you select the bridal tan package it will ask you what date is your wedding and what date you would like to book your spray tan. Brides get exclusive access to schedule early to ensure they receive their preferred date and time.
-
Of course! We have many grooms who also tan for the big day.
