Question 1

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Accepted Answer

We come to you and spray you at the location! We have different solutions to choose from to achieve your desired glow goals based on your completion.

We will send you a message when we are on our way to you shortly before your desired booking time.

We just ask if you can place us in a well lit area that is near an outlet. Our tent is 7 ft with a base of 4x4 ft.

The tan is chilly, so you may want to warm up your home prior to our arrival. Or make sure it's cool in the summertime. 
​
The service takes 15-20 mins. Our machine does make a slight vacuum sound. 
​
Our service is pretty quick and you'll see results instantly.

Question 2

HOW FAR DO YOU TRAVEL?

Accepted Answer

We travel a 30 min radius from 19148. That includes rush hour, and traffic. This is to maintain the quality and integrity of the service provided. 
​
For tans exceeding that, we may charge an additional travel fee or  we can provide our list for recommended artists.

Question 3

WILL I BE ORANGE?

Accepted Answer

The dreaded question and everyone's fear. Orange happens when you go too dark for your skin tone, oversaturation or keeping the solution on too long. We are known for a more natural tan, considering our main clietele are brides. We look at your skin type to suggest rinse times with our rapid, or make an overnight mix to compliment your skin.

Post care for the tan:

For rapid, you will rinse in 2-5 hrs. For overnight, 8 hours to rinse or when you wake up.

No soap, just water.

After the first rinse, you can use clear shower gel. No bars of soap or colored gels.

Moisturize daily.

Drink lots of water.

You’ll see full development of color in 24 hours.

Tan will last 7-10 days.

Question 7

WILL A SPRAY TAN PROTECT ME FROM THE SUN?

Accepted Answer

Spray tans have ZERO spf protection. Please make sure you use an oil free sunblock to protect your skin and tan! We recommend lotion based spfs like vacation inc, sunbum and coola.

Question 8

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK THE SPRAY TAN?

Accepted Answer

Book the tan 2 days before your event or wedding. 1 day before vacation.

As soon as you know you have an event coming up - book the tan immediately. This allows for you to get optimum timing for your lifestyle.

Question 9

WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT WORKING OUT?

Accepted Answer

DO NOT work out until you rinsed the initial bronzer color off. When working out with a tan, you want to make sure to pat dry your sweat, rinse off after the gym immediately. Tight clothing will cause more friction which will result in losing your tan faster, drink LOTS of water and moisturize daily after each shower.
​
We recommend not working out for the first 24 hours.

Question 10

I'M GOING AWAY, SHOULD I GET A SPRAY TAN?

Accepted Answer

Spray tans are perfect for vacations. It allows you to go with a glow! 
​
Many clients get a tan for this reason! Keep in mind if you're going to be in sand and water, make sure to rinse off with fresh water and make sure to moisturize daily. Pools/saltwater/chlorine will break down the tan faster. We recommend avoiding hot tubs. 
​
Wear SPF!
​
DO NOT book for the day you will be traveling. This is to avoid any weird lines or marks made from sitting on planes or cars.

Question 11

HOW DO POOLS AND HOT TUBS EFFECT MY TAN?

Accepted Answer

Water acts an exfoliant to your spray tan. When interacting with water, you want to make sure you rinse off with fresh water and moisturize daily to keep your tan looking fresh. Chlorine, saltwater and hot tubs will strip the tan. Minimize your time spent in water. Pat skin dry afterwards.

Question 14

HOW DO I TAKE OFF OLD TAN?

Accepted Answer

Spray tans are essentially a stain on the skin, and our skin sheds every 21 days. Too speed up this process, exfoliate to remove those dead skin cells. This will help any lingering tan come off. This is a gradual process, so give yourself multiple days to get all the old tan off. You can use exfoliation mitts, scrubs, warm baths, jump in a pool or hot tub. Any old tan still on will show on your new spray tan.

Question 15

WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WHILE MY TAN IS DEVOLPING? (AKA MARINATING)

No dishes, no working out, no cuddles. You want to relax, watch a movie, read a book, take a nap, etc. 
​
Don't make plans to go out, or run around. Stay home lol.

Question 16

ARE THERE ANY PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN BREAST FEEDING OR NURSING?

Accepted Answer

Please consult with your doctor prior to booking! Wear nipple covers or a bra while you are getting sprayed. Keep in mind no skin to skin contact, so pump or nurse closest to your appointment. Prep bottles ahead of time to avoid latching during development. The tan will transfer on the to the baby if feeding before you rinse. Please wait until rinse to feed.

Question 17

CAN I GET SPRAYED WHILE PREGNANT?

Accepted Answer

While we do have clients that get sprayed during pregnancy, we do not spray in the first trimester. Please consult with your doctor before booking.

Question 18

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SOLUTION TO BOOK?

Accepted Answer

We offer rapid solutions and overnights. They both last the time. It really just depends on how much time you have in the day. Most clients book the rapid for pure convenience of being able to rinse in a few hours. Overnights are great for late night clients or may not be able to rinse in a short time frame.

The rapid time intervals are:
2 hours - light
3 hours - medium
4 hours- dark
5 hours - extra dark

For overnights, we carry medium - extra dark.

We offer an on-site skin analysis at the appointment to assess your skin type, and goals for the tan. Our goal is to give a natural glowy tan that doesn't scream spray tan.

Question 19

WHAT IF I HAVE OLD TAN ON?

Accepted Answer

To have a flawless spray tan applied, all your old tan must be off. Using exfoliation mitts, products like rose and caramel, and warm baths can help remove stubburn tan. Any old residue will show through your new application. Make sure to exfoliate days in advance to be ready for your appointment.

Question 20

WHAT IF I HAVE TO SHOWER BEFORE?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend showering right before this appointment. DHA (the main ingredient that makes you tan) can not thrive in a wet environment. This also goes for working out or sweating right before an appointment. If you must shower, try to do it at least 4 hours before the appointment. Avoiding products like dove, or olay. We always recommend Native body wash. Doing a cool rinse before hopping out. Pat dry. Do not wear tight clothing before being sprayed.
