What happens if I can't make my appointment?
Life happens and sometime we cannot make our commitments. But please be considerate to the spray tan technicians time. We can only book one client per time slot and if you do not let us know that you are unable to make your appointment, we essentially lose out on that time slot.
Full payment is required before appointment. If you do not let us know 24h before that you are unable to make your appointment - a 50% penalty is charged. Of course there are exceptions to the rule but letting us know is essential.
Please respect our time :)
What should I do to prepare before my appointment?
1) Wax/shave prior appointment
At least a day before. Otherwise, the tanning solution will get on the hairs and leave a print on your skin making your tan look patchy and unappealing.
2) Exfoliate
At least 8 hours before your spray tan as this will get rid of any dead skin and ensure your tan is even. Focus particularly on the elbows and knees as they are most likely to be darker than the rest of the body. Oil free if possible.
3) Nails first
It’s better to have a clear coat on your nails to prevent them from staining. If you have had your nails done, your spray tan should not ruin them as you can easily rub off any tan formula that may have been sprayed on your nails.
4) No lotion, deodorant or makeup
For best results, as this acts as a barrier between your skin and the tanning solution causing a less effective tanning session.
How do I prepare for during my appointment?
1) Hair up
The best way to avoid your hair getting in the way is to have it up, make sure you don’t forget your hair band to avoid any mishaps.
2) The right outfit
Your outfit is an important choice to make before your spray tan as it is most likely to stain. Choose something loose to avoid it rubbing off on your tan and preferably easy to wash dark clothing so any obvious tan marks are not seen and easy to remove. We suggest wearing long sleeves to bed also to avoid staining your bed sheets too.
3) Smell/sticky
Expect that it will feel a little sticky and may have a funny smell but this will rinse off after your first shower.
What do I look after my tan after my appointment?
1.) Do not shower for at least 8 - 12 hours after
This allows the tan to develop into its full colour potential.
2.) First shower
Warm water and use a light, gentle body wash or aqueous cream. When the water is no longer brown, pat yourself dry with a towel.
3.) Avoid excessive sweat
This means no exercises, sports, dancing or jogging. You should also avoid the sun to prevent sweating. It may create streaks in the tan as it develops.
4.) Avoiding chlorinated swimming pools
Reacts with the tanning solution and causes an uneven fade.
5.) Moisturize the skin daily
This will help make the tan last longer, as well as help it to fade evenly. SPF is your friend. Avoid oils as this may pull the product out of the skin too.
