FAQ’S
Will my spray-tan stain my clothes or bed sheets? Once your spray-tan session is complete, the top layer is called the ‘bronzing layer’. We recommend wearing loose clothing during the tan development period to avoid any rub-off. If the bronzer happens to transfer to your clothes or sheets, it will not stain, but be sure to wash these items afterward
How long will my tan last? We use only high quality, natural and organic products that produce a beautiful tan. Tan’s typically last around 5 days, up to 1 week. It all depends on your skin type, maintenance and lifestyle. We believe in using safe and nutrient rich products without harsh chemicals. If you have had a spray-tan that lasts longer than 1 week, it will likely have chemicals
How soon should I book my tan before my big event? We recommend 1 or 2 days before your event
If I get a spray-tan before my vacation, do I still need to wear sunscreen? The short answer is YES! While spray-tans provide the look of a ‘sun-tan’ it does not change or prevent from UV damage and sunburns. We recommend to always practice safe sun and wear sunscreen
Will a spray-tan make me look orange? We’ve all seen that unfortunate episode of Friends… and all the more reason why we have tested and carefully selected formulas that will provide a natural looking tan, never orange
