The most common questions we get from our clients
If you take care of it, it will take care of you. Typically the tan will last 5-7 days, up to 10 days. Proper tan prep & post care is essential to your tan life. Tan after care products available for sale.
It is best to wear dark, loose clothing and open toe shoes.
However you feel most comfortable, you can wear as little or as much as you'd like.
If you choose to wear underwear/bra, please be mindful of the lines you will have. They might conflict with dance costumes & swimsuits. Males must wear some kind of bottoms. Children are required to have an adult with them.
I suggest that you spray tan 1-2 days in advance before an event/special occasion.
The bride’s tan should be done 2 days before the wedding. I would also recommend anyone in the wedding do the same.
I highly recommend brides do a trial tan 2-3 weeks before the wedding. It’s a huge day & I want to make sure your tan will be perfect.
Tan takes 24hrs to develop fully. During that time, no shower or lotion. Please consider that when scheduling.
Yes, You must have a parent/guardian with you to sign a waiver and parent/guardian must stay throughout the service.

You will do a rinse in 1-4 hours with water only. No soap, shampoo, or lotion for the next 24 hours. You may shower normally after the first 24 hours. The first rinse will remove the cosmetic bronzer on your skin. It will look like you washed away your tan, but it will continue to develop & get darker over the next 24hrs. Please make sure to rinse off ALL of the cosmetic bronzers. Please only use your hands; no washcloths or loofahs during your first rinse.
The entire process takes about 30 minutes
from start to finish. Tan itself only takes 5 minutes.
- Rooms with a lot of light are highly recommended.
- Room with enough space to set up a tan tent.
- Access to an electrical outlet.
- Bathrooms & kitchens are usually great rooms.
- Rooms that don’t have carpets are preferred.
- Can also be done in an office, hotel, or dance studio. I recommend turning your heat up a little, as the tanning process can be chilly.
NO! Sun damage can linger underneath the skin for up to 6 weeks after a sunburn. The DHA in tanning solution can cause rapid exfoliation of skin cells, causing your skin to peel within a few hours/days of your spray tan. This can be particularly detrimental to brides or anyone attending a formal event where shoulders, backs, and decolletage are exposed. We recommend not tanning over a recent or old sunburn to avoid peeling and spotting. Sunburns can take up to 6 weeks to fully heal. Sometimes longer, depending on the severity of the burn. Trust me on this one spray tans & sunburns don’t mix well.
Immediately after your session, The cosmetic bronzer that gives you instant color can rub off on clothes & sheets. After your first rinse, the tan won’t rub off on clothes & sheets. During the 1-4 hour processing time, I recommend you wear loose dark garments. In my experience, the bronzer typically washes out fine & doesn’t stain; however, I don’t guarantee that. If it’s something you don’t want to risk getting stained, don’t wear it until after you have done your first rinse.
Tan Care
- A woman's tan might develop differently depending on hormonal changes.
While not common, hormones may cause streakiness, patchiness, uneven fade, or produce little to no color. - Antibiotics or other medications can also affect your tan.
- If you exercise and sweat heavily, your tan can fade faster, especially in body fold areas. (arm bends, armpits, knee bends, between breasts, etc.) I recommend asking for my sweat-proof solution.
- Do not use AHA & BHA Products
- Anti-aging products that “renew” or “refresh” or otherwise exfoliate the skin.
- Anti-acne products that exfoliate, or dry the skin, such as Accutane, and Salicylic acid, can affect tan fading. Skin can also peel, which can look unacceptable, especially with a tan.
- Bore-type adhesive facial strips, or “peel-off” masks, will remove your tan.
- Bug spray, perfumes, and body sprays, when sprayed directly onto the skin, can remove, fade or crack the tan. Instead, spray clothing instead of directly onto the skin.
- Facial masks and exfoliating scrubs will fade/ streak your tan. It is recommended that you do these before a spray tan.
- Band-Aids, or adhesive tape, applied to the skin will pull the “tan” off.
- Body hair bleach products will bleach the tan; non-bleach skin lighteners are fine.
- Products that contain mineral oil, Paraffins, and baby oil.
Scented Lotions and body washes will fade your tan faster.
I am committed to giving you the best tanning experience you have ever had, however there are steps that you should take to ensure the best results of your tan. Proper preparation and after care will make your tan last longer and fade more evenly.
- Shave
If you plan to do any waxing, please do that 2-3 days before. - Exfoliate your entire body using a non-oil base scrub or exfoliating mitt. Pay special attention to your knees, legs, ankles, elbows, knuckles, and feet. Please avoid any bar soap.
- Manicures, Pedicures, massages, facials & any spa treatments should be done a couple of days before your tan. If you are doing any laser treatments or peels, ask your aesthetician when it will be safe to tan.
- If you are pregnant, consult with your physician before tanning with any solution containing DHA. I don’t offer tans in the 1st trimester.
- For the best results, Come with clean skin. Remove any body lotion, perfume, deodorant, and makeup.
- Pull hair off face & neck.
- Remove all Jewelry except permanent jewelry.
- Wear loose dark clothing & loose shoes. Jeans and tight-fitting clothes are not recommended right after your tan.
Color will look like it washed off, but it will get darker for the next 24hrs.
- Sleep in long sleeve & loose pj’s to prevent touching your skin.
- Avoid swimming or working out/sweating for 24hrs
- Keep your skin moisturized. You should moisturize daily. Tan will last longer and fade more evenly.
- Your tan will last for about a week, sometimes longer, depending on your body. Your face will fade faster than then the rest of your body.
- Pat dry, don’t rub. Avoid scrubbing for the duration of your tan.
- Stay hydrated.
