Your Tan, Your Shade.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation to talk through your desired color, natural skin tone, and the look you want to achieve.
From a subtle hint of warmth to a deeper bronze, your spray tan is customized and carefully applied for smooth, even coverage. We’ll finish with personalized aftercare guidance so you know exactly how to care for your color and get the most longevity from your tan.
No guessing. No one-shade-fits-all approach. Just a glow that complements your skin beautifully.

Before Your Appointment
PREP FOR YOUR BEST TAN
A beautiful spray tan starts before you walk through our doors. For the smoothest, most even application:
• Exfoliate your skin before your appointment, paying extra attention to dry areas like your elbows, knees, ankles, and hands.
• Complete shaving or waxing prior to your appointment whenever possible.
• Arrive with clean, dry skin free from lotion, oils, deodorant, perfume, and makeup.
• Wear or bring loose, dark clothing and comfortable shoes for afterward.
A little preparation makes all the difference in how evenly your tan develops and fades.
After Your Spray Tan
PROTECT YOUR GLOW
During your recommended development period, avoid water, sweating, tight clothing, and applying products to your skin.
Your spray tan artist will provide specific rinse instructions based on the solution used for your appointment, so be sure to follow your personalized timing rather than rinsing early.
After your first rinse, keeping your skin moisturized can help maintain your color and encourage your tan to fade more evenly over time.

Spray Tanning FAQs
How long does a spray tan last?
Most spray tans last approximately 5–10 days, depending on your skin, preparation, aftercare, activity level, and how frequently you shower. Keeping your skin moisturized and avoiding excessive exfoliation can help extend the appearance of your tan.
How should I prepare for my spray tan?
Exfoliate before your appointment, paying extra attention to dry areas such as the elbows, knees, ankles, and hands. Complete shaving or waxing beforehand and arrive with clean, dry skin whenever possible.
Should I wear lotion, deodorant, perfume, or makeup?
For the most even application, arrive without lotion, oils, deodorant, perfume, or makeup on the areas being sprayed. These products can create a barrier between your skin and the tanning solution.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Wear or bring loose, dark-colored clothing and comfortable shoes. Avoid tight leggings, bras, socks, or anything that may rub against your skin immediately after your tan.
What do I wear during my spray tan appointment?
Whatever makes you feel most comfortable while keeping your desired tan lines in mind. Your spray tan artist will discuss your preferences and comfort level with you before beginning.
Will my spray tan look orange?
Our focus is always a natural-looking glow. Your spray tan is customized based on your skin tone, desired depth of color, and overall goals rather than relying on a one-shade-fits-all approach.
How dark will my spray tan be?
That’s completely up to the look you want to achieve and what works beautifully with your natural skin tone. Before we begin, we’ll discuss whether you want a subtle glow, deeper bronze, or something perfectly in between.
When can I shower?
Your spray tan artist will provide specific rinse instructions based on the solution used during your appointment. Following your recommended development time is important for achieving your intended result.
Can I work out after a spray tan?
Avoid workouts, sweating, swimming, and excessive moisture while your tan is developing. Once you’ve completed your recommended first rinse, you can return to your normal routine. Keep in mind that frequent sweating and swimming may cause your tan to fade more quickly.
When should I schedule my spray tan before an event?
For weddings, vacations, photoshoots, and other special occasions, we generally recommend scheduling your appointment 1–2 days before your event. This gives your color time to fully develop and settle.
Can I get a spray tan before a vacation?
Absolutely. A custom spray tan is an easy way to start your vacation already glowing. Just keep in mind that salt water, chlorine, hot tubs, swimming, and frequent showers may cause your tan to fade more quickly.
Can I shave after my spray tan appointment?
Yes, but shaving gently exfoliates the skin and may shorten the life of your tan. Whenever possible, shave before your appointment and use a light touch when shaving afterward.
Can I shave moisturize afterwards?
Yes. Once you've completed your recommended development period and first rinse, regular moisturizing can help maintain the appearance of your tan and encourage more even fading.
Can I shave after my spray tan appointment?
Yes, but shaving gently exfoliates the skin and may shorten the life of your tan. Whenever possible, shave before your appointment and use a light touch when shaving afterward.
Does a spray tan protect me from the sun?
No. A spray tan gives you a sun-kissed glow without UV exposure, but it does not provide protection from the sun. You’ll still want to apply SPF and follow your usual sun-safe habits to keep your skin protected while enjoying your glow.
