Bio/History: 

How does the Spray Tan process work?

After entering the tanning room, customers may disrobe to their comfort level and then enter the glass "overspray" booth to begin their custom airbrush tanning session, applied by one of our trained Airbrush Spray Technicians.

Our technician will discuss with the client just how light or dark a tan is desired, and will develop a customized tanning solutions for each customer. The solutions is then attached to a compressed-air driven applicator and the tanning session begins.

The solution is evenly applied over all parts of the body, and our technician's expert application training ensures that the tan will develop evenly and beautifully.

The technician will ask the client to change positions and to hold arms and legs in specific poses, so as to ease the even application of the spray. As opposed to a machine-applied spray, the technician changes her own spray position to ensure even application.

The client has the option to receive a full-body tan or just an upper-body tan. The client may also choose whether or not they want their face sprayed.

After the tanning application is complete (which usually takes between 10-20 minutes, depending on the client), the newly applied spray is given a few minutes to dry to the skin. Once the spray is dried to your skin, it will continue to set over the next 8-10 hours, leaving a beautiful bronze glow. The technician will give instructions on after-care for the client to ensure your tan looks great!

FAQ's

How long will it last?
The length of time you will enjoy your tan involves various factors. The primary factor is how well you typically hold a natural tan along with how hydrated you keep your skin. On the average, most clients enjoy their tan for about 7-10 days before it has fully, naturally faded. The desired depth of color will determine how often you need to have it redone. As with any tan, the more you moisturize, the longer you will keep your tan.
Will I turn orange?
Because our organic solutions do not contain dyes, the results of your airbrush tanning session are very natural looking. Your tan will be customized to your skin type so that you will not experience the orange discoloration that you may have experienced in the past from other sunless tanning products.
Is Airbrush Tanning safe?
DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is the active ingredient in our organic solutions, and has been approved by the FDA for over 30 years. The sunless airbrush tanning application is safe, effective and takes as little as 10 minutes from start to finish. The solution takes 6-8 hours to fully develop and your tan will darken during this time.
