Please wear long, dark, loose fitted clothing and sandals to your appointment - tight clothes can potentially cause unwanted lines. During your session you may wear as much or as little you are comfortable with. If you choose to leave under garments on please make sure they are dark in color (our solution washes out of most clothes - but it is always better to be safe).
*Men must wear boxer, briefs, swim trunks or shorts
You should expect to be with us for approximately 20 - 30 minutes. Upon arrival your spray tan artist will help you choose what shade of bronze is best for you. The spray tanning session itself will only take about 15 minutes. After your session you will see an immediate color, however this is just a cosmetic bronzer and has very little to do with your actual tanning results.
CHILL OUT BABE. Once your spray tanning session is complete you will want to refrain from getting wet or sweating until your first rinse. Do not touch your body with the palms of your hands while bronzer layer is still on. Rinse time is based on desired color. If you choose to sleep in your tan prior to showering make sure you sleep in long loose fitted clothing to avoid skin to skin contact. Sleep with the air or fan on to avoid sweating.
This depends on which solution you choose.
If you choose THE SIGNATURE BRONZE: You may shower with soap anytime after 10 - 12 hours post tan.
If you choose THE RAPID BRONZE: This solution is RINSE time sensitive. Color level will be determined by your rinse time: 2 hour rinse = Light, 3 hour rinse = Medium & 4 hour rinse = Dark.
Rinse at desired time - with or without soap, based on solution used. Cold or lukewarm water is best.
Use the palm of your hand to thoroughly glide off all bronzer from body, refrain from using a loofah as they tend to be too abrasive for a new airbrush tan.
Let the shower water run clear for 2 minutes prior to stepping out. You will look light as your tan is not fully developed.
Pat dry, do not rub
Do not moisturize until tan is fully developed
Soap shower may be taken 10 - 12 hours post sunless session. Use a PH balancing body wash or a fragrance free gel based wash.

In order to maintain your airbrush tan be sure to -
Moisturize 2 x's a day after first soap shower. A water based + fragrance free moisturizer is recommended. Coconut oil / Jojoba oil are also great choices
Stay Hydrated

Avoid products with exfoliants, synthetic fragrance, mineral oils, essential oils, Dove, and Olay.
Avoid spraying perfume directly onto the skin.
Use SPF - choose a cream as opposed to an Aerosol. Ensure it is oil free and Oxybenzone Free
Do not use Dove + Olay pre or post tan
