Choose your tan based on when you
want to take your post-tan shower:

8 HOURS
With this option, you can shower within 8 hours after your appointment. If you don’t mind not being able to rinse for 8 hours, and can stay in loose-fitting clothing for the day (or night), the 8 hour tan may be for you.
$54
1-6 HOURS
If you're looking for a quick, easy option, this is it. With this option, you can shower within 1-6 hours after your appointment. The longer you wait, the deeper your bronze. This is the best option for those who would prefer to shower sooner.

What to Expect?
We'll start by choosing the right spray tan for you, depending on how long you'd like to wait for your tan to develop.
Our Spray Tan Prep Guide will help prepare you for your appointment, and once you arrive at our salon we'll consult with you about what kind of look and feel you want from your spray tan.
And then… it's showtime! We'll customize a perfect spray tan for your skin type and desired result.
Pre-tan Checklist
Prepare your body for tanning by exfoliating & moisturizing 24 hours in advance. Pay special attention to elbows, knees, ankles, and any areas that tend to get dry.
Make sure your skin is clean and dry before your appointment.
If you wax or shave, make sure to do this at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. As a result, your pores will have time to close, preventing dark spots!
Don’t apply moisturizer, perfume, deodorant or makeup on the day of your appointment. This may cause discoloration or a patchy tan result that won’t last as long.
Avoid bar soaps, high pH shower products, oil based products, and in-shower moisturizers for 24 hours before your tan. The barrier created by these products may prevent the fast acting tanning agents from developing on your skin.
Come prepared with loose clothing to put on after your appointment.
Post-tan Checklist
Let the tan develop for the recommended time, then shower quickly for 45 seconds in lukewarm water. It is important not to use hot water while developing the tan because it stops the activation of your tan.
During the first 24 hours after your treatment, do not use shower gels, scrubs, shampoos, or loofahs.
Pat your skin dry. Do not rub or scrub your skin.
After your spray tan, moisturize every day. A gradual tan product will keep your skin hydrated and give you a longer-lasting tan.
After day 5, exfoliate with a soft body polish to help your skin absorb even more moisturizer and remain soft and smooth. By doing this, the tan will fade naturally, rather than in patches.
After Your Tan
To ensure that your spray tan lasts as long as possible
and you’re able to maintain your glow,
follow our spray tan rinse off guidelines
and aftercare instructions below.
-
Wait 1-6 hours before rinsing to achieve your desired glow:
For a light tan wait 1-2 hours.
For a medium tan wait 3-4 hours.
For a darker tan wait 5-6 hours.
Do not leave initial tan on for longer than 6 hours — the results may be unnatural.
After your initial rinse it may look like your tan is gone — don’t worry! It takes 8-12 hours for your tan to fully develop after your rinse.
-
Wait 8-12 hours before rinsing to achieve your desired glow.
Allow 24 hours to see full color development.
Avoid getting wet for at least 8 hours after application.
Do not leave initial tan on for longer than 12 hours — the results may be unnatural.
-
Wait 18-24 hours before rinsing to achieve your desired glow.
Your tan will begin to develop within 2-4 hours after application
Full tanning results develop within 24 hours.
Avoid getting wet for at least 24 hours after application.
Do not leave initial tan on for longer than 24 hours before you rinse — the results may be unnatural.
-
Stay away from anything wet until your first shower; this means no work outs, no cleaning, no lotions, no sweating etc.
Use warm water, no soap and ideally, make it quick!
No scrubbing.
Gently use your hand to thoroughly rinse bronzer off until the water is clear.
Pat dry and avoid any rubbing with the towel when you are drying off.
Leave your skin damp and apply a spray tan friendly moisturizer while your skin is still damp. For a non spray tan specific moisturizer we love the following:
CeraVe
Lubriderm
Coconut Oil
Moisturizing in the morning and evening is recommended.
To get the most out of your tan, avoid swimming, long showers, baths, steam rooms, and saunas.
Avoid harsh chemicals such as chlorine, products containing acids, massages, fashion tape, bandages, and anything else that may strip your tan
After day 2 you can start using a tan extender to prolong the life of your tan.
Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water, too!
Don’t exfoliate until you’re ready to take your tan off completely.
