Frequently Asked Questions

 Welcome to the world of spray tanning, where you can get the perfect sun-kissed look without risking skin damage or looking like a lobster. Our secret ingredient? Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA for short. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds. We promise we won't turn you into a science experiment. Basically, we mist this magic solution onto your skin, and it creates a non-toxic browning effect for the perfect darker complexion. Think of it as a spray-on filter for your skin. You can finally say goodbye to streaky self-tanner disasters and hello to a flawless, even tan.

But like all good things, it won't last forever. Your outer layer of skin is constantly shedding dead skin cells, so your tan will start to fade with time. If you want to maintain that beautiful Gulf Coast glow, you'll need to come in and get a spray tan 2-3 times a month. Think of it as an excuse to treat yourself to some self-care time. 

 If you're looking for a way to get that sun-kissed glow without harming your skin, then you've come to the right place. Here are the top three reasons why you should consider spray tanning: 

01) HEALTHY AND NATURAL

Spray tanning is a healthy and natural alternative to traditional tanning methods. Say goodbye to    harmful UV rays and hello to a beautiful, bronzed complexion. Plus, you'll avoid the risk of looking like a lobster and peeling like a banana - not a good look! 

02) ENHANCES YOUR APPEARANCE

Spray tanning enhances your appearance in ways you never thought possible. Gone are the days of uneven, streaky tans. With a spray tan, you'll look like you just stepped off a beach in Bali. Your skin will be glowing, and your confidence will be through the roof! 

03) FLAWLESS LOOKING SKIN

 A spray tan gives you the flawless looking skin you've always wanted. It covers up imperfections like blemishes, scars, and cellulite, and evens out your skin tone. We jokingly say, "If you can't tone it, tan it!". Plus, it's a great way to hide those pesky tan lines from your last vacation. 

 So, there you have it - three great reasons to give spray tanning a try. Trust us, your skin will thank you! 

 24 hours prior to appointment: Complete all other beauty services such as eyelash extensions, nails, waxing, facials, and massages. Make sure to moisturize with a 'sunless safe' product. 

12-18 hours prior to appointment: Shower, shave, and exfoliate to remove all dry, dead skin and all other self-tanners using the an exfoliating mitt and a 'sunless safe' product.

4+ hours prior to appointment: Shower to remove make-up, perfume, deodorant and oils using a 'sunless safe' product. Make sure to allow yourself enough time between your last shower and appointment to give your pores time to close to avoid discoloration. Again, if you have dry skin you may moisturize the day of your appointment, but ONLY with a 'sunless safe' product.

 What you wear to your appointment is totally up to you! We just ask that you undress to your comfort level, so you decide what’s coming off and what’s not! Most women tan nude to avoid tan lines. If you prefer a tan line though, there are disposable thongs available for use. For male clients, minimal clothing, such as swim trunks, boxers or briefs are required. 

Please bring long, dark, loose fitted clothing and slip-on shoes for after the application- tight clothes can potentially cause unwanted lines. No denim, no yoga pants, no tight bras or underwear. 

Your spray tan only takes 15-20 minutes, but we allocate 30 minutes for each client. You will leave our studio (or house call) feeling bronzed and beautiful!  

Once the tanning session is complete do not allow your skin to come in contact with any water or product until your tan has fully set until your first warm water rinse (no soap). If you plan to sleep in your tan solution, wear a long sleeve top and long pants to bed, in order to avoid skin to skin contact, which can ruin the desired outcome by causing streaks.

Be gentle when washing your body. Use warm water, a 'sunless safe' product, and the palms of your hands to thoroughly glide off all bronzer from your skin. Pat yourself dry.

Your tan will provide gorgeous, glowing results for 5-7 days, but has the potential to last even longer by moisturizing daily. Please keep in mind that several factors such as excessive sweating, soaking in water, not hydrating, not moisturizing, PH balances, hormones, and medications can all affect your sunless tanning results.
