Is this for your wedding? For best results a practice session is required at least 10 days prior to the final service.
Services such as facials or manicures are best done before as the lotions and oils can create a barrier and keep the tan from absorbing evenly.
We do not want to create any kind of a barrier for proper absorption. Shave legs the day prior to your tan as well as heavy shaving creams can create skin barriers
Exfoliate your skin before your appointment
Use an aggressive exfoliator like exfoliating gloves
Make sure your skin is clean and dry
Avoid using lotion or oil on your skin
Wear loose, dark colored clothing after your tan
The more covered up you are, the safer your tan will be
Choose loose pants and a loose t-shirt over short shorts and a tank top.
For your airbrush tan, you can undress to your level of comfort. Keep in mind that whatever you leave on will create a tan line, so consider what you'll be wearing for your event. Some clients choose to wear a bathing suit, while others prefer to go nude.
Please note that the FDA requires that male genitals remain covered during the tan application. If you have any concerns about this, please let me know.
Our rapid rinse solution typically requires 1-3 hours of processing time, durring this time it's important to stay cool and dry.
Different processing times can result in different color tones. We'll discuss what processing time is appropriate for your specific needs.
After the allotted processing time, you should shower and rinse off any extra color. It's normal to see some color rinsing off, and your tan will continue to develop over the next 24 hours. Your final results will be visible the day after your tanning session. Be gentle but thorough when showering, and rinse well with light soap if needed. Follow up with a good moisturizer.
On average, our tans last 7-10 days, with the first few days being the brightest.
This is not a kid friendly appointment so if you have little ones please arrange care for them. We cannot leave children unsupervised in the waiting area.
