Frequently Asked Questions

A spray tan tends to last anywhere 5 to 7 days, depending on your aftercare and frequency of exfoliating. It's possible for your spray tan to last up to 12 days if you take extra good care of your skin.

+ Aren’t spray tans orange?

Not this one! The orange discoloration is due to improper application, color mixology, or improper skin care either before or after your spray tan. Follow our prep and aftercare instructions and you will be the perfect shade of bronze.

+ What do I wear to a spray tan appointment?

Most babes tan nude to avoid the tan lines. If you prefer a tan line, we recommend a thin strong thong.Most people spray tan without a bra, but if you must wear one, we recommend a strapless bra or bandeau.

For the boys: Minimal clothing, such as boxers or briefs.

Bring loose-fitting clothes to change into immediately after your spray tan. No denim, no yoga pants, no tight bras or underwear. Ideally, bring flip flops too.

+ When can you shower after a spray tan?

• Stay away from all moisture until your first shower; this means no showers, no work outs, no cleaning, no lotions, and no liquid foundations on the skin.

• Take your first shower 4 hours after your spray tan.

• Do NOT go more than 24 hours after your appointment to shower

• Be gentle when washing your body. Use warm water, only a natural body wash, and the palms of your hands to rinse surface bronzer off your skin.

• Avoid harsh scrubbing, hot water, and bar soap.

• Pat yourself dry, don’t rub.

• Keep your hair away from water for 8 hours.

Your spray tan will usually take 15–20 minutes, but we can’t get enough of you. So we allocate a full 30 minutes for each client.

You can, but why age prematurely and damage that beautiful skin of yours?! Seriously, wear SPF babe. Spray tans provide no UV protection.
