our main solution line does not contain any fragrance and is very gentle on the skin. it is organic-based, vegan & PETA approved. It is free of sulfates, parabens, harmful chemicals and dyes.

what’s the difference?

original solution:

wait 6-8+ hours to swim, shower, exercise.

lasts 7-10+ days.

won’t over develop.

takes 24 hours to reach full development.

When leaving the original solution on over night, it is highly recommended that you wear long sleeves and pants. This will minimize the amount of transfer onto your sheets, as well as help prevent your hands from resting on it at night (no one likes tan palms!).

express solution:

lasts about a week.

shower in 1 hour for an extra light tan, 2 hours for light, 3 hours for medium, 4 for medium dark, and 5 for dark.

we will work together to decide just how much time you require for your desired look.

do not leave on longer than recommended by your tech.

takes 24 hours to reach full development.

your tech will use color theory to custom mix a solution based on your skin type (we use the Fitzpatrick scale), to ensure a no-orange tan.

please understand that a spray tan is not like a UV tan. some skin types are not able to achieve a deep, dark tan without the orange.

we always keep detailed color notes on your profile, in order to find your perfect blend.

wedding tan should ideally be booked 2-3 days before big event.

we highly encourage all brides to book a trial tan.

trial tan tips:

book trial tan 3+ weeks prior to wedding tan. this allows sufficient time to remove any residual tan.

book your trial around hair and makeup trials, and/or dress fittings.

consider your partner’s skin tone when deciding how dark you want to go.

provide inspiration photos.

chat with your photographer about editing style + tans.

if you’re really nervous, we can start with the legs! book the half body option :)

—

if you desire to go above a medium level tan, we require at least one trial.

clear solution available with our Master Artist, Tatum.

a perfect spray tan is a mix of proper prep, flawless application, and great aftercare.

got an issue? here are some common things we see:

little to no color -

this can be a result of numerous things— showering too close to appointment, product residue on skin prior to tan, hormones, menstrual cycle, medication, and pregnancy.

patchiness on face/neck/chest -

most commonly this is due to retinols/exfoliating treatments, acne medications, perfume on skin prior to tan, or poor exfoliation.

patchiness anywhere on the body-

if you have a sunburn that has not healed (4+ weeks to heal), the tanning solution will cause your skin to peel.. trust me, you don’t want this!

can also be a result of poor exfoliation or patches of residue from products.

green underarms:

oops! you must have worn deodorant, and this caused your skin to turn green. lightly scrub with soap but do not exfoliate. may take more than one shower to fully disappear.

We have airbrushed many pregnant women, but we always ask that you check with your own doctor first. (Please bring doctor’s note to your appointment if needed.) If you are in your first trimester, we ask that you please wait until second trimester to get airbrushed.

while not common, it is possible for tans to not develop fully during pregnancy, resulting in little to no color.

all of our airbrush rooms are equipped with a triple filtration extraction system. nose filters provided upon request.

Our solution is organic-based, vegan & PETA approved. It is free of sulfates, parabens, harmful chemicals and dyes.

all of our airbrush rooms feature a triple filtration extraction system with a 12,000CFM airflow rating - it’s the best in the biz!

this ensures both client and tech are protected from excess overspray.

while you can absolutely tan naturally through your sunless tan, you MUST still use SPF!

avoid most aerosols (alcohol=uneven tan)

here are some recs:

*some of these are not reef-safe and should only be used for day use!

our solution is very gentle and does not contain any fragrance, but we understand some skin can be more sensitive to new things.

if you are concerned, you can always come in to test it out on a small patch of your skin.

tattoos are perfectly fine to spray over and must be completely healed to do so. spraying over an open wound will cause infection.

clients with fresh tattoos that are not healed or properly covered will be turned away.

Proper tan maintenance will result in an even fade, which is perfectly fine to spray over.

Clients with significant, patchy build-up of tan will not be sprayed with higher than a 6% DHA (extra light tan).

Spraying over an old, uneven tan may result in uneven application, and can hinder development, resulting in a brassy/orange tone.

Please try to remove all previous tan prior to your next appointment. Tan remover available in-studio.

We take pride in our tans and kindly ask that you take care of them before re-spraying :)
