Get a Perfect Tan: Prep and After Care Tips
Prep for Your Glow
Shower, shave and exfoliate 12-24 hours prior to your appointment.
Moisturize after your shower.
Facials, massages, hair and manicure/pedicure need to be completed 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Waxing needs to be completed 48 hours prior to appointment.
Please come to your appointment with no makeup, deodorant, perfume or oils on your skin.
Post-Glow Care
The first rinse is WATER ONLY, no soaps, shampoos or conditioners, please.
You first rinse will look muddy and seem like almost all of your tan has washed off, that is
NORMAL.
Please allow 12-24 hours after your first rinse for your tan to develop.
Please rinse at the designated time your tan artist tells you to, this will prevent over processing.
Do not touch your skin! Sweating or coming in contact with water until your first rinse time will alter your tan results.
Avoid saunas, hot tubs and chlorine pools to make your tan last longer.
Always pat dry anytime getting out of water.
Prep for Your Spa Day
Loose, dark clothing.
Long sleeves and sweatpants are recommended, even in the summer months!
Leave your bra at home, we're a no bra club here!
Footwear should be slippers, slides or flip flops.
If it's raining or even in the forecast, bring an umbrella, rain jacket and closed toe shoes.

We offer tans based on their setting time and solution boosters. A CUSTOM TAN is a classic 8 hour set time and is usually the best option for spray tan beginners. A TIMELESS TAN is a hybrid, rapid set time best for those who don't want to leave tanning solution on their skin longer than 6 hours. (All tans include pH balancing prep spray, hairnet, hair tie, disposable underwear and protection for hands and feet.) An ENHANCED TAN is our most luxurious option of tanning. Enhanced tans include pH balancing prep spray, a shimmer of your choice (gold or opal), a scent of your choice and a skincare additive. The enhanced tan is finished off with a moisturizing hydration lock spray.
