Yes, we customize all of our solutions. We take several factors into consideration – your skin type, hair color, eye color, and most importantly, what shade of tan you desire. With the Express solution, we customize the color tone and you have the opportunity to customize it’s intensity with your post session shower time – 1 hour for a light tan, 2-3 hours for a medium tan, and 4 hours for a dark tan. A bronzer is added to all of the solutions to use as a spray guide, as well as to mimic the color of your end result tan. The bronzer layer will wash off with your first post tan shower.
Absolutely not. Our solution is made with the highest quality, premium grade ECO-CERT organic DHA that is derived from organic sugar beets and sugar cane. This guarantees that your tan will be golden brown with that “just off the beach look”. In addition, we are highly experienced and trained to make sure your color coverage is even and streak-free.
The only difference is shower time. Both solutions have the ability to be as light or as dark with the color tone you desire and they both last for the same amount of time. The Express solution has been formulated to set faster and to allow for color development even after the initial shower (1-4 hours) and the bronzer layer has been washed off. Because of this, it is important to keep in mind that after you shower with the Express tan, you will feel quite a bit lighter due to the fact that the bronzer (used as a spray guide) will be gone and your tan will only be in the initial stages of development (full development takes 12-24 hours). The Original solution, allows you to shower in 8 hours after the initial spray at which time the solution has completely set. You will then wash off the bronzer layer and you will see the beginnings of the tan. Full development takes 12-24 hours after the initial spray.
We strongly recommend that you shower and exfoliate any time of the same day prior to your tanning appointment (shave one day prior). Oil-based soaps should be avoided as well as any lotions after you shower before your tanning appointment because they tend to leave residue on the skin creating a barrier to the tanning solution. Exfoliating is very important because it allows the DHA (active ingredient that makes you tan) adhere to your skin better and will help your tan last longer. We recommend using an exfoliate specifically designed for spray tanning, such as our Deep Exfoliating Mitt (available in our studio). It is also important to schedule manicure/pedicures and/or waxing appointments before rather than after your tanning session.
It is best to wear loose fitting, darker colored clothes after your spray tan to minimize the transfer of the bronzer to the clothing. When using a bronzer with spray tanning solutions, it is possible for some of the bronzer to rub off on clothing and/or sheets, however, it easily washes out in the laundry.
Ladies are welcome to wear as little or as much as you are comfortable with. We have disposable thongs, bandeaus and shower caps available for your convenience. Gentleman are required to wear underwear or swimwear.
The appointment is set for 20 minutes, so it is very important to be punctual. If you are a first time client, we recommend that you arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time so that you can fill out a consultation form.
This depends on your solution choice. With the Original tan, you need to wait at least 8 hours before you sweat or shower. With the Express tan, you must shower (without soap) sometime between 1-4 hours of your tanning session. With the Express tan, you are allowed to do a light workout after your shower.
It has been proven that soap neutralizes the development of DHA. We strongly recommend just a warm water rinse so that your tan is able to obtain it’s full color. If you would like to use a limited amount of soap in certain areas, that is just fine.
This depends on several factors including your skin type, skin cycle, lifestyle, and care. It should last for the minimum of 5-7 days and has the potential to last 10-12 days. The best thing that you can do to increase the longevity of your tan is to apply our Skin Glow Tan Extending Moisturizer once a day which is specifically designed for sunless tanning. However, if you don’t use the Skin Glow Tan Extending Moisturizer, then moisturize all over daily to keep your skin hydrated. Also, try to avoid activities that speed up your skin’s natural exfoliation process such as long showers/baths, hot tubs, heavy sweating, and swimming in salt water and/or chlorine all tend to dry out your skin. This will increase your skin cell turnover making your tan fade sooner.
Yes. We will customize a solution that will work with your specific skin tone. Our philosophy is “progressive, not aggressive”.
This is due to several reasons. First, facial skin is thinner than skin found on other parts of the body. The face is also more exposed to the environment and endures more frequent washing. In addition, makeup, anti-aging creams, astringents, etc. tend to break down the tan more quickly.
Unfortunately, it does not, so you will still need to wear SPF!
The active ingredient in airbrush tanning solution is DHA (dihydroxyacetone). The DHA reacts with the amino acids on the surface cells of the skin resulting in a “darkening” (aka tanning) effect. Therefore, as your skin goes through its natural exfoliation process, these skin cells shed and not every cell sheds at the same rate. You may have some “tanned” cells that remain or last longer than others. This has no correlation to the spray technique or the solution. The tan typically lasts 5-7 days and begins to fade as the top layer of skin cells naturally sheds. Keep in mind that this process tends to be a bit more noticeable when you choose a shade that is significantly darker than your natural skin color. However, you can usually counteract this by moisturizing with the Skin Glow Tan Extending Moisturizer.
Dry skin may cause the tan to fade unevenly. If you have dry skin, we recommend that you moisturize twice a day for a week leading up to your tanning session and continue to moisturize each day post tanning session.
The active ingredient, DHA, has never been tested extensively on pregnant or breastfeeding women. We simply request that clients ask their doctor for an approval before they book a session.
