• discontinue self tanning products, it is necessary to remove all self tan residue for even results. your new spray will not adhere evenly to last weeks spray!

• in the week leading up to your tan exfoliate your entire body with an exfoliating mitt - at least two nights and moisturize your skin every night.

• final shave/wax + exfoliation needs to be completed 12 hours prior to appointment

• avoid the use of dove bar soap in preparation for the tan and for the duration of your tan

• mani/pedi. waxing. facial and lash/brow appointments need to be completed before your tan 

• wash your hair. be sure to wash your hair prior to your appointment (or plan out your hair washing schedule) as to avoid  washing your hair during your first rinse. ingredients in shampoo + conditioner can interfere with development of your sunless tan

​• no lotion, deodorant or perfume to your appointment - these products can all create a barrier between your skin and the DHA resulting in an uneven tan, green armpits and blotchy patterns.

one to three days prior to a planned trip or special event. with proper prep and post care expect bronzed skin for seven to ten days.

your spray tan should be the very last step in your beauty routine. massages, waxing, mani/pedis, facials, lash services, etc. need to be completed a minimum of 4-12 hours before your spray tan appointment. all of these services have their own products that are utilized throughout the services that when used too close to your appointment can create a barrier between your skin and the DHA (active ingredient in spray tan) or when utilized after the service can discolor or strip the tan.

DURING THE TAN: you can wear as little or as much as you prefer. bikini, bra, thong, naked - keep tan lines in mind before we begin the tan!

disposable thongs are available if preferred.
• for men, we do ask that you wear underwear or some form of covering

POST SPRAY: dark and loose fitting clothing is necessary to change into. no bra, leggings or tight closed toe shoes - flip flops are recommended post spray! please arrive with appropriate attire if it is raining.

• PLAN YOUR DAY ACCORDINGLY. be prepared to stay completely dry for a minimum of two to eight hours post spray
(rapid tans allow you to rinse the solution in 2-5 hours. classic solution will need eight hours of dry time.)

• no skin to skin contact in the time leading up to your rinse, primarily your palms! do not cross your legs. the dha will transfer and result in an uneven spray.

• rinse at the recommended time, especially when doing the rapid!

2-2.5 hours | light/medium
3 hours | medium
3.5-4 hours | medium/dark

the first rinse after a rapid tan is water only! skip the soaps.. that includes shampoo and conditioner until your first real shower the following day.
immediately after rinsing you may think you lost all your color, this is normal. the tan takes a full 12-24 hours to develop, trust the process!

• no hot showers! lukewarm water is always recommended. do not cleanse with wash cloths or loofas, pat skin dry with a towel - do not rub!

​• keep skin hydrated, the following day begin applying moisturizer day and night to ensure desired results and prolonged color.
