Frequently asked questions
The most common questions we get from our clients
Spray Tanning
During your session you may wear whatever you're most comfortable in, however, to avoid lines you may prefer to go topless. You can also choose to wear swimsuits, strapless bra and undergarments, whatever you decide. Men must wear swim trunks or shorts. It is best to wear dark loose fitting clothing immediately after your session. NO yoga pants, skinny jeans, leggings, etc. Think - comfy!
Depending on your post-care regimen, your spray tan will last anywhere between 7-10 days. We also offer an exclusive tan extender and spray tan approved lotions to keep your skin looking great and to help extend your tan even longer!
Teeth Whitening
Absolutely yes! We offer the safest FDA approved plant and mineral based gel. The products do not damage teeth and provide enamel building qualities.
This varies from person to person. It really depends on your lifestyle and the diet you consume. The average whitening is 5-14 shades whiter in one session. One session takes about 60 minutes and is broken into three 20 minute sessions under the laser. You'll leave with your teeth the whitest they can naturally go. Everyone has a natural stopping point. The result will last. 6 months or more with proper aftercare and maintenance.
Tan Care
Shave + Wax | Wax at least 1-2 full days before your appointment + Shave with a new razor
Exfoliate | We recommend using one of our specially made exfoliating mitts with a spray tan safe scrub to remove all dead skin and any left over sunless tan.
Soaps | Avoid using any bar soaps or cream based body washes (including Dove!). These products will leave a residue on the skin acting as a barrier to your sunless tan.
Do not apply any products | This includes lotions, deodorants, perfumes, body oils, etc. These products can prevent your spray tan from developing properly.
Clothing | Bring or wear dark, loose-fitting clothing to your service. We recommend the baggiest clothes you can find! Any tight clothing put on directly after your spray can mess up the tan or prevent it from developing properly. We do have disposable sandals for your use if needed. Bronzer transfer can happen to light colored items, but it is water-based so it should wash right out!
Do not get wet or sweat until after your initial rinse | Any contact with water or any liquid can smudge or stop the tan from developing in that area. If you do accidentally get a drop of water or your pets tongue comes into contact with you, no worries, take a dry, stiff makeup brush and blend out that area. Most likely it's just the bronzer that was messed up and your tan should still develop fine.
Don't Touch Your Body | Since we cleaned off the palms of your hands at your service, try not to reset your hands directly onto your body. The spray tan solution can turn the palms of your hands tan, which isn't cute!
Rinse | At your specified shower time, take a 3-5 minute lukewarm, WATER ONLY, rinse in the shower. You will see the cosmetic bronzer start to run off. Rinse until your water runs clear and then get out and pat dry with a towel.
- Rapid Glow: Rinse in 1-5 Hours
- Classic Glow: Rinse in 8-10 hours after your appointment
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize | We recommend to moisturize with a SPRAY TAN SAFE LOTION at least twice daily. The more hydrated your skin is, the longer your tan will last and the more even it will fade. If you allow your skin to dry out, you will start to see a cracking appearance from the tan (that snakeskin look!). When your skin dries out, so will your tan.
Avoid Swimming, Hot Showers, Long Baths, etc. | Anything that naturally exfoliates your skin, will do the same with your tan. We recommend purchasing a tan extender for best results when traveling.
Avoid products that exfoliate your skin | Until you are ready to remove your spray tan, avoid products like body scrubs, loofahs and wash-cloths. These items will exfoliate your tan away.
Use Sunscreen | Spray tans do not protect you from UV exposure. Please be sure to use a spray tan safe sunscreen while you have your tan.

- Staying hydrated before and after your appointment will help with sensitivity.
