When should I book my tan?
It is always best to schedule as much in advance as possible. If you have an event on a
Friday, the most ideal day to spray tan is 2 days prior; the same goes for a wedding. On
the first day after your spray tan, you will be your darkest, so please keep this in mind
when booking. If you are not sure what level of darkness you would like it is
recommended, we do a trial run. So be sure and book well in advance. Services such
as manicures/pedicures, massages, aesthetic treatments should be booked prior to
tanning appointment.
How do I prepare for my spray tan?
Shave/Wax 24 hours prior to service Exfoliate with an oil-free product The client must
arrive to the session with fresh skin. (i.e. no lotion, makeup, deodorant or perfume)
Advise your client to wear or bring dark, loose-fitting clothing.
What do I wear during my spray tan appointment?
Female clients are welcome to spray tan bare, with underwear and bra or old swimsuit.
Just remember, whatever you wear will leave lines. So, if you are planning on wearing a
backless dress, you do not want to wear a bra.
Male clients are required to wear swim shorts or full coverage underwear, no
exceptions. Consultation required before booking.
Maintaining the Tan
Clients should start to moisturize twelve hours post-spray and continue to moisturize
daily. Clients can resume normal, soap showers 24 hours post-spray. Moisturizers, body
washes, sunscreens should not contain alcohols, mineral oils, or sulfates. Pools,
oceans, hot tubs are drying to the skin and will prematurely fade the tan. Advise client to
rinse/shower immediately after these activities and apply tan extending lotion. Anti-
Aging products with AHAs/retinols and topical acne medication should be avoided.
Recommend to use a hydrating moisturizer on the face. Services such as
manicures/pedicures, massages, aesthetic treatments should be booked prior to
tanning appointment.
What do I wear after my spray tan appointment?
Loose clothing, preferably dark in color and NO tennis shoes, denim or tight leggings for
24 hours.
What do I do or need to remember during set time?
It is recommended that you avoid friction or anything that will get the spray tan wet and
do not apply products to skin. No skin-to-skin contact during the set time to avoid
transfer. If client chooses an overnight solution, they must wear long sleeves/pants
while sleeping. During warmer months/climates have clients stay away from sweat-
causing activities. Applying setting powder will help. Follow recommended first rinse
time and shower with warm water. Clients should pat dry with towel. Do not rub!
How soon can I apply lotion after spray tanning?
It is recommended to wait at least 8 hours after spray tanning before applying a
moisturizer. You can apply a moisturizer after your initial rinse; however, this can lighten
the final color as most solutions continue to develop up to 24 hours. If you apply lotion
prior to your initial rinse, wash your hands well to keep the tanning solution from
transferring to the palms of your hands.
