A spray tan is a sunless tanning service that uses a fine mist of DHA (a plant-derived ingredient) to bronze the outer layer of your skin, giving you a natural-looking glow without UV exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a spray tan last?
A spray tan usually lasts 5-10 days, depending on your skin type, prep, and aftercare.
How should I prepare for my spray tan?
For the best results, we recommend:
- Exfoliating 48 hours before your appointment
- Shaving or waxing at least 24 hours prior
- Avoiding lotions, oils, deodorant, perfume, or makeup on the day of your tan
- Wearing loose, dark clothing
How long does the spray tan take?
- Spray tan only: approximately 4 minutes
- Spray tan with primer: approximately 6 minutes
Your total appointment time may be a little longer to allow for consultation and drying.
What is a primer and why should I add it?
A primer preps your skin, helping your tan go on more evenly and last longer. It’s great for dry skin or first-time clients.
What is a contactless spray tan booth?
Our contactless spray tan booths give you a fully customized tan in your own private room. The booth senses your height and guides you through four positions with three spray nozzles for even, full-body coverage.
The booth is comfortably heated for a warm, relaxing experience year-round, and it self-cleans between sessions to ensure it’s fresh and hygienic every time.
How do I choose my spray tan shade?
Our booths have three color options, each with three depth levels, so you can customize your tan. Each tanning room also has a tan menu to guide your choice.
If you’re unsure which shade is right for you, feel free to contact us- we’re happy to recommend the perfect option for your skin tone.
How long should I leave my tan on before showering?
For standard solutions, leave your tan on 6-8 hours. If you want a darker color, you can leave it on overnight – just wash your hands and face about 30 minutes after your session to blend those areas naturally.
For our rapid 2-hour solution, leave it on 1-3 hours, but no longer than 3 hours to avoid over-developing.
Can I go swimming after my spray tan?
Yes! You can swim 24 hours after your spray tan. Avoid getting wet before that so your tan develops properly.
Will my spray tan look orange?
No. Our professional solutions are designed to create a natural, customized bronze tone when you follow prep and aftercare instructions.
Will my spray tan stain my clothes?
Some of the bronzer may transfer onto clothing before your first shower, so we recommend wearing loose, dark clothingto your appointment. After rinsing, your tan should not stain your clothes.
Is spray tanning safe?
Yes! Spray tanning is a UV-free alternative to traditional tanning. Our tans are made from natural, organic ingredients, making them safe- including during pregnancy. Please let us know about any allergies or sensitivities before your appointment.
When should I book my spray tan for an event?
For best results, we recommend booking your spray tan 1-2 days before your event.
