FAQ.
The most common questions we get from our clients
Absolutely not! We hve a NO orange guarantee. Each formula is custom blended to match the undertones of your skin to provide a smooth, flawless color!
Preparing your skin for the spray tan is very important to ensure a flawless outcome and long-lasting tan! Please refer to our “Tan Care” tab for directions on how to prepare your skin for the session.
Please make all nail appointments at least 24 hours prior to your tan. If that is not possible let your nail technician know not to exfoliate your hands and legs. Polish changes are ok and if your nails are natural it is ok to have them done. If you have gel, dip or acrylics you need to schedule your appointment prior to your spray tan. Soaking your nails in acetone to remove them will pull the tan off the tops of your fingers.
Your nails will not get stained with us. We use a nail protectant before every single session and clean each nail upon completion of the appointment.
The products you use on your tan directly affect how long it will last! We carry all of these products below conveniently in the studio for you. Visit our online shop here.

*PSST! Our "Hydration Tan" is the most popular, so that one is always a great choice!
You will want to tan about 2 days before your event. For brides, we suggest tanning 2-3 days before the big day. Going on vacation? Tanning the day before leaving is best!
We offer tans ranging from $50 and up. Please see the “services” menu for pricing and a detailed description of each option to assist with choosing! Student tans are $40.
You will pay for your appointment at checkout. Please bring a form of payment to your session, as we will not use the card on file. We accept cash, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay for payment. If paying by cash, please have the exact amount.
Our spray tans last 7-10 days if you follow our pre and post tan care instructions. We only use custom blended, high quality solutions. This is a guideline as everyone's skin is different, hormones and post tan activities play a huge role in how long it will last. A tan may develop differently during hormonal changes like ovulation, menstruation, pregnancy, and medications. If you do not prep properly, your tan may be streaky or patchy. It may also cause color to fade faster or produce lighter to no color at all. This is something we do not have any control over. Please read over the tan prep and follow the instructions we created that work best with our solutions.
Whomever! Any people under the age of 18 will have to have a parent/guardian sign a waiver.
Our solutions are made with such high quality ingredients that there’s no odor!
A rapid tan tends to be more convenient if you have an event or occasion later that day, as you only keep it on for 2-4 hours max. A traditional airbrush tan must be kept on for a minimum of 8 hours to fully develop. I love rapid tans because you get the same color payoff in less time.
Rapid solutions rage from 2-4 hours afterwards. For regular solutions wait 8-12 hours. I will give you a time-frame during your appointment. Please try to rinse as close to time given as possible.
A regular studio tan takes 20-30 minutes.

Congratulations! Check out our "bridal" tab under "services" for everything you need to know (and more) for the big day! We recommend brides book a trial no later than 2 weeks before their big day, in order to determine a specific color level for the big day!
We do! All of our spray tans are full body. We completely customize the tan to your needs. If you would prefer to not have your face tan, just let us know.
Mineral Oil: It is a petroleum based skin softener that not only strips your tan but also clogs your pores and has been known to have extreme effects on the skin. This is a common ingredient in cheap lotions. Clients will get longer wear from their spray tan by avoiding these tan stripping products.
Petrolatum: Also a petroleum based skin softener that clogs the pores and strips the tan. This is used much less than the Mineral Oil, but is prevalent in body butters and really rich body cream washes. It’s a cheap ingredient that doesn’t lock in moisture, but just makes your skin feel soft. Hydrated skin and soft skin are not always the same thing.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: Also known as SLS, this is the most common ingredient in body washes and bar soaps. It is a strong detergent that allows the product to lather well. It will strip your spray tan quickly.
If you have any specific questions about the products that you are using and if they will prevent you from having an amazing tan please contact me. My goal is for you to have that perfect tan that will last nicely up to a week with a nice even fade.
You will pay for your appointment at checkout. Please bring a form of payment to your session, as we will not use the card on file. We accept cash, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay for payment. If paying by cash, please have the exact amount.
If you have a serious sunburn, we advise you to reschedule your appointment. If the sunburn peels after your appointment, the results of your tan will be less than ideal. If the burn is located in one area, we can try to avoid it.
Yes! All our solutions are all natural and organic. One of the main ingredients in our solutions is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA is a carbohydrate (monosaccharide sugar) compound approved by the FDA for use in externally applied sunless tanning solutions. It is usually derived from a vegetable source like beets or sugar cane.
Absolutely! We spray many mamas-to-be and encourage you to do anything that makes you feel glamourous during those long 9 months! Our solution is a top-of-the-line, all-natural, hypoallergenic solution with 7 simple ingredients that are all plant based. Super green, super simple. If you’re nervous about booking an appointment, we suggest asking your OB as we aren’t medical professionals. However, we can tell you that not one OB has said no! We also offer extra safety precautions, such as nose filters, if you prefer.
Yep, that too! After your initial shower, you’re free to go about breastfeeding and pumping as normal. Luckily, our rapid solutions have a max processing time of 5 hours! If you’re unable to wait to feed or pump for 5 hours after your appointment, we’ll need to cover the area and we have multiple ways we can do that!
It will definitely help! We have a "tan line correction" add-on that you can add to any spray tan option (+$10) where we use a special gun to blend those stubborn tan lines away!
Make sure to let your spray tan artist know that you would like to add this to your appointment before the session begins!
Of course! You set the tone for your appointment and how dark you’d like to be!
We suggest wearing loose long pants and long sleeves immediately after and to sleep in the night of your tan! You may experience slight rub off from the cosmetic bronzers immediately after your tan, however, after your first shower, you should not experience any transfer to clothing. If you do experience slight color transfer, the tan will easily come out of your clothing in the washing machine.

DHA is the main ingredient in spray tans. DHA stands for dihydroxyacetone, which is a colorless sugar derived from raw sugar cane or fermented glycerin. DHA interacts with dead skin cells on the skin’s surface to darken it naturally. The skin begins to darken within 4-6 hours. The color will last for 5-7 days on average depending on cell turnover and after care products used.
The first DHA formula was developed in the 1970’s and the results came out orange. Today, spray tanning solutions have been developed to produce a natural-looking color and have an improved reaction with the skin.
There are two types of spray tan applications: cosmetic bronzers and clear. Cosmetic bronzers give an instant result and is similar to make-up and are designed to wash off in your first shower as the DHA darkens. The clear solution goes on your skin clear and it will take a few hours before your skin is darkened.
We recommend a room that has tile or hardwood floors so that all equipment is able to lay flat. We’ll need a space large enough to accommodate a 4x4x7 foot tent and an outlet nearby. A small table or sink is also helpful. That’s it!
