What to Expect

Tips & Tricks for Your Best Glow Yet

Spray Tanning Prep

Whether you're getting bronzed for a vacation, event, or just to feel your best, proper prep makes all the difference. Follow these simple steps to help your tan apply evenly and last longer!
The Day Before Your Tan
  • Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate
Use a gentle scrub, exfoliating mitt, or dry brush to slough off dead skin. Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists. This creates the perfect blank canvas for your tan.
  • Shave or Wax 24 Hours Before
Hair removal too close to your appointment can cause irritation or uneven color. Give your skin time to calm down before your glow-up.
  • Skip the Oil-Based Products
Avoid heavy lotions, body oils, or cream-based exfoliants the day before and day of your tan—they leave behind residue that can block absorption.
The Day Of Your Tan
  • No Lotions, Makeup, or Deodorant
Come with clean, dry skin. Skip deodorant, perfumes, makeup, or moisturizers as they can create barriers or cause discoloration (hello, green pits—no thanks!).
  • Dress for the Occasion
Wear loose, dark-colored clothing and sandals to your appointment. Tight clothes or bras can rub off your fresh tan before it even sets.
  • Leave Jewelry at Home
Avoid heavy lotions, body oils, or cream-based exfoliants the day before and day of your tan—they leave behind residue that can block absorption.
Aftercare Starts Right Away
  • Wait at least 8–24 hours before showering
Avoid sweating, swimming, or skin-to-skin contact during your developing time. Your first rinse should be with water only—no soap, scrubs, or shaving!
  • Pro Tips for a Longer-Lasting Tan
Moisturize daily (starting after your first rinse) with a fragrance-free, hydrating lotion. Avoid exfoliating or shaving for as long as possible. Pat dry after showers—don’t rub. Drink water and stay hydrated! Happy skin = happy tan.
Tips & Tricks for a Golden, Safe Glow

UV Tanning Prep

Ready to get bronzed the classic way? Whether you're tanning for a big event or maintaining a year-round glow, proper prep ensures your session is effective, comfortable, and smart.
Before Your UV Tanning Session
  • Exfoliate for Even Color
Gently exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your session to remove dead skin cells and help your tan develop more evenly. Use a mitt, loofah, or non-oil-based scrub—focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
  • Shower & Remove Products
Come to your session with clean, dry skin. Avoid perfumes, lotions, oils, or deodorants that may block UV rays or create uneven tanning.
  • Shave or Wax Ahead of Time
Complete any shaving or waxing at least 12–24 hours before your tan to reduce skin sensitivity and avoid patchy spots.
Day of Your UV Tanning Session
  • What to Wear to Your Appointment
Wear what you're most comfortable tanning in—whether that’s a swimsuit, undergarments, or going nude. Just keep in mind: what you wear = your tan lines! Opt for loose, dark clothing to wear after your session. Tight clothes can rub against freshly tanned skin and may cause irritation.
  • In the Tanning Bed
Always wear eye protection! (it's the law) Your eyes are sensitive to UV rays—protect them with proper goggles every time. Limit your first session to the recommended time based on your skin type. Tanning beds are powerful, and overexposure won’t make you darker—just redder. Don’t apply tanning lotions not designed for indoor UV tanning. Non salon approved lotion is prohibited in our tanning machines. We carry salon-approved formulas that enhance results safely.
Aftercare Tips for a Longer-Lasting Tan
  • Moisturize daily
Moisturize daily to extend your tan and keep skin soft. Choose a hydrating, tan-friendly lotion (avoid anything with AHAs, retinol, or exfoliating properties).
  • Avoid Hot Showers
Avoid long, hot showers and exfoliating scrubs while your tan is developing.
  • Stay hydrated!
Drinking plenty of water helps maintain skin health and glow.
Important UV Tanning Safety Reminders
  • Never tan more than once in a 24-hour period.
Remember some areas of your body never see the actual sun, adjust timing for these areas as not to burn. Towel and SPFs are not designed to protect you from indoor tanning. Talk to your tech if you’re on medications that cause photosensitivity (like antibiotics, acne treatments, etc.). Remember starting to itch during tanning is the start of a burn, always turn off the machine and exit if this happens. Tanning is a personal choice—but we always encourage moderation and skin health first!

FAQs

Spray tans typically last 5–7 days, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you care for your tan. Moisturizing daily and avoiding exfoliation will help extend your glow.

Nope! We use high-quality, professional-grade solutions with natural undertones that are customized to your skin tone. A proper prep routine and application ensure a bronzed—not orange—result.

You’ll need to wait 8–12 hours before rinsing off, unless you're using a rapid tan formula (which may be rinsed in as little as 2–4 hours). Your technician will give you the exact timing based on your solution.
Many women choose to avoid spray tanning during the first trimester. While DHA (the active tanning ingredient) is considered safe, always consult with your doctor first—and let your technician know so we can offer extra ventilation and care.

No! Spray tans provide zero sun protection. Always apply SPF if you’ll be spending time outdoors.

We recommend tanning no more than once in a 24-hour period. Depending on your skin type and goals, 2–3 sessions per week is often enough to build and maintain color safely.

Your first session will typically be 3–8 minutes, depending on your skin type and the strength of the bed. We’ll always start you at a safe, personalized exposure time and gradually build up from there.

Yes, every single session. Your eyes are extremely sensitive to UV light, and closing your eyes isn't enough. Approved goggles or winkies are always required.

Some people notice temporary improvements in acne, breakouts, psoriasis, or eczema due to UV light's drying effect, but tanning is not a substitute for skincare. Overuse can actually cause irritation or worsen certain conditions.

No. Outdoor tanning products are not formulated for indoor use and can damage the acrylic in tanning beds. We offer salon-approved lotions that enhance your tan and keep the equipment safe.

Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level wavelengths of red light to stimulate collagen, reduce inflammation, improve skin tone, and support healing at a cellular level. It's completely UV-free.

Yes! Red light therapy is FDA-approved, painless, and safe for all skin types. There’s no heat, UV exposure, or downtime.

Clients use red light therapy for:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin firmness and elasticity
  • Redness and inflammation
  • Scarring and acne
  • Joint pain or stiffness
  • Seasonal mood support

For best results, we recommend 3-5 sessions per week to start, followed by regular maintenance. Results are cumulative—consistency is key!

Yes! Red light therapy can be done before a spray tan or UV tanning session to enhance skin tone, calm redness, and support even color. It’s also great as a stand-alone wellness treatment.
