Frequently asked questions

Spray tans typically last up to 10 days with proper prep and aftercare. Both are crucial for achieving the best results and a long-lasting glow. Avoid sweating, water, and tight clothing for at least 24 hours after your appointment to allow your tan to fully develop without interruption.

To help your glow last even longer, a Sealing Hydration Treatment is included in every appointment, which locks in moisture and extends the life of your tan.

We recommend booking your spray tan 1–2 days beforehand for the best results.

Spray tanning is considered a safe and non-invasive option during pregnancy, as the active ingredient, DHA, only reacts with the outermost layer of the skin and is not absorbed into the bloodstream. DHA is FDA-approved for cosmetic use and widely used in sunless tanning.

We take extra precautions by providing disposable underwear, nipple covers, and nose filters to minimize any unnecessary exposure.

We always recommend checking with your doctor first. If needed, we’re happy to provide a full ingredient list for you or your healthcare provider.

Please note: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect your skin’s pH, which may impact how your tan develops. A pH balancing prep spray is included in every appointment to help you achieve the best possible results.

We want you to feel completely comfortable during your appointment. Female clients can wear as much or as little as they like—whatever you're most at ease in. Disposable bottoms are provided if needed.

For male clients, we kindly ask that you wear some form of underwear for the comfort of our artists.

Keep in mind: whatever you choose to wear will create tan lines, so plan accordingly based on your outfit or event!

Any treatments like waxing, facials, lash extensions, tinting, Botox, massages, manicures, or pedicures should be scheduled at least 24 hours before your spray tan appointment. These services can interfere with how your tan develops or cause uneven fading if done too close to your session.

Your spray tan should always be the final step in your beauty routine to ensure the best possible results.

We recommend booking your spray tan 1–2 days before your event or vacation. This gives your tan enough time to fully develop and settle, ensuring it looks its absolute best when you need it to.

Do not spray tan if you're sunburnt or healing from one. Even if your skin is flaking or peeling, it can take 2–3 weeks to fully recover. Spraying over a sunburn has a terrible visual effect—peeling areas absorb more color, making the burn stand out and creating a patchy, uneven tan. Sunburnt skin is fragile and goes through healing stages like redness, bumps, peeling, and itchiness. Keep it deeply moisturized with rich lotion and aloe, and never exfoliate peeling skin—let it heal naturally. We care about your skin and want you to glow safely, so please protect it from sunburns year-round!

It can! During your cycle, your skin may be more sensitive and your pH levels can shift, which sometimes leads to a lighter tan than expected. We apply a pH balancing spray before every appointment to help even things out, and we may recommend going one shade darker to help offset any potential lighter results caused by hormonal changes.

Swimming, hot tubs, and saunas can affect your spray tan, potentially causing it to fade more quickly. The heat and water, especially in hot tubs and saunas, can cause your skin to sweat and disrupt the tan. Chlorinated water can also be drying and harsh on your skin, further affecting the tan. We suggest booking the sweat-resistant tan, which is designed to withstand heat, sweat, and water better. This special formula helps sweat "roll down" instead of removing the tan, and allows the DHA to reach deeper layers of your skin, making your tan last up to 30% longer with proper care.
