spray tans
We start by applying a coat of pH-balancing prep spray. Next, we will apply your spray tan and finally, finish it off with moisture lock post spray! This whole process takes about 15-20 minutes.
We will then leave the room and allow you to disrobe down to your comfort level. If you choose to wear undergarments, we ask that you wear black only or wear ones that you do not care about getting tan on. The solution will rinse out of most cotton fabrics.
We will bring you into the tanning room and show you the lay of the land. You will be provided with a hairnet to protect your hair from the solution, a nose plug to avoid breathing everything in, sticky feet to protect the bottom of your feet, and barrier cream to avoid build-up in areas that often crease.
what to expect
We know that getting naked in front of a random stranger is not exactly everyone's idea of a good time. Your comfort is our number one priority!
before
It is imperative that you follow the instructions given for before & after your tan to get the best results possible. Not following the instructions could lead to unfavorable results.
- Plan carefully. You'll need to avoid water & sweating until your first shower so, plan accordingly.
- All manicures, pedicures, waxing & facials should be done at least 24 hours before your tan appointment.
- Exfoliate & shave the night before your session to remove all dead skin cells.
- Do NOT shower within 4 hours before your appointment.
- Skip the makeup, lotions & deodorant. Wearing deodorant can mix with the solution and turn your armpits green!
- Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing to your session. Remove all jewelry and leave it off until your tan is dry. Loose shoes like flip-flops are best for your feet!
- On rainy days, wear slippers, a loose zippered hoodie sweatshirt, and loose sweats (without the elastic band at the ankle) or pajama pants. And don’t forget your umbrella!
- Stay away from any Dove products, both before and after your tanning appointment. Using harsh body soap will cause your tan to fade quickly and possibly become patchy.
Cool-water, no soap rinse between 2-4 hours. 24 hours after your tan, you can take a full shower with soap.
No peeing in the shower, the ammonia in the urine will cause your tan to streak.
Pat dry, do not rub. Always!
Shaving exfoliates the skin, which can fade your tan. Be sure to use a new razor and a lubricating product such as a shaving cream.
Tanning solution can dry out your skin, moisturize daily with an oil-free lotion. We prefer Hempz Lotion.
after your tan
The following can ruin or fade your spray tan:
Manicures, Pedicures & Waxing
Exercise & heavy sweating

Aerosol or oil-based sunscreen

Applying a new Spray Tan over an old Spray Tan will cause an unfavorable result. Please be sure to completely remove any old Spray Tan you might have left on your skin prior to your next appointment as we WILL NOT apply a new Spray Tan over an old one.
If you have a sunburn or are peeling, we do not recommend you receive a Spray Tan until your skin is completely healed as spraying over a sunburn will create a splotchy result.
A few important notes before you go
You are not just getting in a booth and hoping for the best. Megan truly makes you feel comfortable, pays attention to what she is doing, and is always asking questions. It usually lasts 7-10 days!
"my spray tan always looks flawless!"
"I felt so golden and ready for my wedding."
"megan was professional yet super fun to work with!"
Megan cares about providing the best experience. I'm naturally on the pale side and her services have never made me look orange or too dark.
"i don't trust anybody else with my spray tan needs!"
Just as every person is different, every skin type is different. Once your "tan" is applied, with moderate care it should last between 5-7 days. Depending on your activities and skin type. If a natural tan will fade from your skin in 4 days, it is reasonable to expect your sunless tan will fade in equal time. As skin type varies, so will fading patterns & timing.
