How it Works
The process for receiving a personalized spray tan in your home or any location of choice is simple and convenient.
You contact us to book an appointment, you receive instructions to prepare for the tan, and we come to your door at the scheduled time.
Before your spraytan
​
-
Shower, exfoliate, and remove body hair 8 to 24 hours before your tanning session.
-
Skin should be clean and dry before being sprayed. Don’t apply moisturizer, deodorants, antiperspirants, oils and make up before your appointment.
-
Style your hair in a ponytail, away from your face and neck.
-
Remove all contact lens and jewelry.
-
You will not be able to bath, swim or exercise for at least 6 to 8 hours after being tanned.
-
Bring a towel to cover leather or light colored seats, if you’re going somewhere right away.
-
If it is raining, bring an umbrella with you!
When we Arrive
-
Show us to a room of your choice. It can be any room – some people choose a bathroom or the kitchen.
-
There should be a clearing of approximately 4’ x 4’ where the pop up tent can be set up. The tent is about 7’ tall and is a similar shape to a large telephone booth.
-
During setup, you change into your bathing suit or tanning outfit of choice. Keep in mind that what you wear will affect the look of your tan lines. You may undress completely if you prefer no tan lines at all! It is best to wear dark colours during your tan and to change into dark loose clothing afterwards.
-
Put on your shower cap and blocking cream on the palms of your hands and over the tips of your nails and both hands and feet.
-
You will be sprayed with a fine, cool mist. The airbrush technique allows for even coverage that appears flawless.
-
You will be walked through the positions and we will tell you when to turn around, turn your head, close your eyes, etc.
-
Once the tan has been applied, your skin will be blow dried to help the drying process of the solution so that you can change into your loose fitting, dark clothes quicker. You will also receive after-care instructions to get the best out of your tan.
