Spray Tan

This is a safe and healthy way to tan. Our natural looking tans are applied by airbrush tanning professionals with lots of hands-on experience. We take pride in our attention to detail, state-of-the-art equipment, top-quality products, clean environment, extraordinary customer service and extreme professionalism. Imagine a beautiful tan without baking in a tanning booth or lying in the sun. There are no burns, no wrinkles and no risk of skin cancer. With only a 15-minute session, our process is quick and the results are immediate. In addition, our tans can last for over a week.

Before your tan:

If you have a sensitive skin condition, please notify the technician before the spray tanning application.
Exfoliate your entire body with a non-oil based exfoliant prior to your tanning session. If you do not have an exfoliant you may use a wash cloth and brown sugar to exfoliate your skin.
Wax and shave 24 hours prior to your spray tan.
Remove any make-up, deodorant, jewelry or lotion.

It is VERY important to have clean, dry and exfoliated skin for your spray tanning appointment. Any residue left on the skin may act as a barrier making the tan less effective.

Clothing during your spray tanning session:

You may wear your bathing suit or your birthday suit. It is your preference on what kind of tan lines you want or if you want any tan lines at all.

After care for your tan:

To ensure a long and beautiful tan avoid contact with water for at least the first 6-8 hours. (6 for light, 8 for normal, 10 for dark)
After your tanning session we recommend that you wear clothing that is darker in color before your post tan shower.
The cosmetic bronzer that is applied may rub off on your clothing but should be easily washed out. Nylon, silk, spandex and wool tend to absorb the bronzer so please avoid these fabrics.
Avoid bar soap especially Dove and the like. Use a mild body wash to extend the life of the tan.
After showering apply a great moisturizer each and every day. This is essential as it will enhance the longevity of the tan.
Avoid exfoliants, hot showers and jacuzzi soaks. Excessive swimming and perspiration can fade your tan faster.
Make sure to always use sunscreen. Your spray tan is not a sun protectant.
Your tan can last between 7-10 days depending on your before and aftercare.
The better prepared your skin is for the spray tan and cared for after will determine the longevity and quality of the tan.
