Most Asked Spray Tan Questions
When you arrive you will step into a private room and undress.
You must wear bottoms, a thong is fine, topless is up to your comfort level.
I recommend older or dark colored bra and panties. NOTE: Please make sure this is NOT your favorite brand new undergarments. Fresh spray tan solution WILL stain nylon and this is in ladies undergarments and swimwear. Anything light colored will be discolored by the airbrush solution.
You WILL have tan lines–please consider this when making your undergarment choice if you have something special to wear (example, a strapless dress or very low back).
We will then discuss your skin type, any problem areas and what kind of color you are hoping to achieve. I will then be able to choose the correct product to use to achieve a realistic tan on your skin.
If your hair is very pale I will suggest a shower cap.
You will stand on a towel to keep your feet clean.
I spray you, having you turn in different positions to ensure that we have covered your skin evenly to create your sunless tan. I finish with a gentle overspray and a check to make sure you appear as even as possible. The solution has a soft scent and cool mist feeling.
After spraying, I dry you and have you check over your spray tan before you get dressed. The solution is tinted with a bronzer so you will have a softly tanned look when you leave the studio. The bronzer can rub off on the inside of your clothing so I suggest something loose fitting and dark colored. If it is warm outside I will recommend that you apply a little powder before dressing.
Finally you get dressed. Nothing tight and no JEANS or SPORTS BRAS. Workout clothing, scrubs, and flip flops are all good choices. For ladies I recommend no bra as it can pull airbrush solution off your skin creating a line.
Weather Tips: Cold Weather: If you will be wearing a boot or shoe I suggest a loose fitting cotton sock–no tight trouser socks or pantyhose.
Warm Weather: If you will be wearing a sundress or shorts please bring a towel to sit on if your car seats are leather. Fresh solution WILL stain leather.
Rainy Weather: If it is raining please park as close as possible and I will walk you to your car with an umbrella. Raindrops will give you poka dots. Long sleeves and pants keep your tan protected from the water. This includes your feet–a shoe would be a better choice than a flip flop so that your feet do not get splashed as you walk. Again, a loose fitting cotton sock inside your shoe so the top of your foot does not become splotchy.
All beauty treatments should be done BEFORE your airbrush tan.
Waxing, manicures/pedicures, massages, facials and laser hair removal.
If it disturbs your skin or involves water please have it done before you come.
