  • we always recommend getting a spray tan 1-2 days before a big event. it will take 24 hours for your tan to be fully developed after your service. especially with the rapid, it will continue to develop after you have rinsed!

    you spray tan should be your last service before any big event. manicure/pedicures, waxes, brows etc should all be done before your spray tan.

  • take an everything shower. shave all unwanted body hair and exfoliate using an exfoliating mitt (a loofah doesn’t count) 24 hours before your spray tan. if you are a frequent spray tanner, make sure you get all of your old spray tan off with proper exfoliation before coming in for your next appointment.

    plan to arrive to your tan with clean, dry skin free of lotions, make up, deodorant, sunscreen & oil. having any of these things on your skin can create a barrier to the DHA in the tan which will result in an uneven spray tan. bring your baggiest adam sandler outfit for after your tan, no tight clothes.

    plan your day around your spray tan. busy bee with places to go? opt for a rapid tan with a rinse time of 2-5 hours. want to sleep in your tan or like to let it marinate? opt for the custom tan and rinse in 8-10 hours after your tan.

  • you should arrive with clean, dry skin with no lotions, oils, make up, deodorant and in loose dark clothes. this means, for the love of pete, please do not wear leggings and gym shoes to your appointment.

    women, you are welcome to wear as much or as little clothing as you’re comfortable with during your appointment. gentlemen, we do ask that you wear boxers, briefs, bottoms during your appointment. if you are wearing something during your tan, we recommend that it be dark in color.

    after your service, loose dark clothes are best. no jeans, leggings, bras, or anything that will tightly rub on your skin. sandals, slippers, or uggs are the best shoes to strut out in.

    your spray tan artist will do a consultation with you and answer any questions you may have before your appointment.

  • stay dry and avoid skin to skin contact while you’re marinating in your tan. try not to touch your face, or any part of your body. the spray tan can transfer onto your fingers or palms and cause the dreaded spray tan hands. if you are sleeping in your tan, we always recommend sleeping in a long sleeve shirt and sweatpants to avoid skin to skin contact while you’re sleeping.

    your tanning artist will consult you on the best time to rinse after your tan. it is imperative to follow the rinse times to avoid over development, especially with the rapid. with the custom tan, you should not leave it on for longer than 24 hours.

    your first shower will just be a rinse, no soap on your body. after that first rinse, you will start moisturizing. applying lotion at least twice per day will help the longevity of your tan especially in colorado’s dry climate. avoid anything with mineral oil, ahas, petroleum, ethanol, exfoliating and alcohol based products after your tan— this includes retinol & tretinoin.

    we recommend waiting 24 hours after your tan to workout, sweat or get into any body of water. you still need to wear SPF as your normally would and chlorine or salt water will make your tan fade faster.
