Please view the Tan Care section to find out the proper steps that need to be followed before your spray tan.
Please ensure that all necessary client forms and waivers are completed prior to your appointment.
Our appointments are carefully structured to last 30 minutes, encompassing a thorough pre-consultation, a 10-15 minute spraying session, and a post-care discussion to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Under normal circumstances, a standard spray tan typically maintains its color for 7-10 days when properly cared for. Following the guidelines outlined in our Tan Care section is crucial for achieving optimal results. Additionally, I provide tan extender shower gel and lotion for purchase, which can prolong the lifespan of your tan by an extra 3-5 days.
For optimal results, it's recommended to refrain from showering, swimming, sweating, or any contact with water for at least 8 hours following your appointment. This timeframe allows the solution to fully develop, ensuring the best outcome. Be sure to inquire with your spray tan technician about our convenient rapid wash-off options for those seeking a quicker tan development process.
Tan Care
Prepare for your spray tan by following these steps:
- 24-48 hours prior, exfoliate your skin beforehand to eliminate dead skin cells, promoting an even application.
- Refrain from using lotions, oils, or deodorants on your skin prior to your spray tan session, as they can hinder solution absorption, leading to potential streaks or uneven coloring.
- Opt for loose, comfortable clothing on the day of your appointment to minimize friction that could remove the solution.
- Plan ahead and have manicures, pedicures and facials 3-4 days prior to your tan.
On the day of your session, follow these steps:
- Take your regular shower, ensuring thorough rinsing of shampoo and soap. Avoid applying deodorant, moisturizer, lotion, cream, or makeup.
- Consider wearing dark, loose clothing to prevent any rubbing against the spray tan as it sets.
- Feel comfortable wearing as much or as little that you would like to get your tan lines with. Additionally, for your convenience, I offer hairnets, ponytails, disposable underwear, and ChapStick.
- Bring flip flops or open-toed shoes to wear after your session to avoid smudging the solution on your feet.
Now that you've had your appointment and are delighted with your spray tan, here's how to maintain it and extend its lifespan:
- Wait at least 8-12 hours before showering after your spray tan session to allow the solution to fully develop.
- Refrain from activities that may induce sweating or cause rubbing of the skin, such as exercising or wearing tight clothing, for at least 24 hours post-session.
- For your initial shower, rinse only! Using soaps and shampoos not specifically formulated for spray tanning could compromise the quality of your tan. Avoid products from brands like Dove and Dial, as they may affect the color of your tan.
- Keep your skin hydrated by moisturizing regularly. Dry skin is the enemy of a long-lasting spray tan.
- Share your beautiful results with your spray tan technician by sending a photo. They'll love to see how great you look!
Here's the optimal method for preserving your tan:
- Steer clear of lengthy, hot showers and baths, as they can accelerate tan fading.
- After bathing, gently pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing to prevent the solution from rubbing off.
- Make moisturizing a daily habit.
- Don't forget to inquire about tan extender products from your spray tan technician, which can prolong the life of your tan by 3-5 days.
