No! Unless you leave the spray tan on longer than advised. This could cause you to overprocess. We customize your tan to match your skin tone, ensuring a natural tan look. But! Make sure to prep properly, as this is very important in the color development process. Trust us, we know what we are doing. Rinse it off when we tell ya to. We got you, Babe!
Your spray tan will last around 7-12 days with proper after care and depending on which tan option you chose. The hydration tan and the Beach Proof tan will last the longest. The longevity of the tan will be determined by your skin type, how well you prepped your skin, and how well you care for it. Moisturize twice a day, drink lots of water, take cool/luke-warm showers and keep them short! Use sunless safe soap and lotion. Watch the "How to Maintain Your Tan" video on Tan Care page.
It is possible for the tan to transfer onto your clothes or sheets, especially within the first 24 hours. To minimize this, wear loose, dark clothing after your spray tan appointment and try to avoid sweating or getting wet. Any staining that does occur typically washes out easily.
After your first soap shower, yes! We do recommend rinsing the chlorine off your skin immediately after, if possible. This will ensure it's not baking into your skin and drying it out.

Nothing tight, no leggings, no tennis shoes, no sports bra. Wear loose-fitting, dark clothing, flip flops and if you can go home braless, that's ideal!
Yes, it can if you sleep in your tan and sweat during the night. We recommend wearing lightweight, thin pajama pants and a long-sleeved shirt.
This depends on which tan you book and your desired depth of color. We will go over all of this at your appointment. 3-10 hours is our range.
Please do not do this. Save the gym for the next day, after you have showered the tan off. Sweating and tight gym clothes will leave marks on your developed tan.
While DHA, the active ingredient in spray tans, is FDA-approved for external use, there hasn't been enough research to definitively say it's safe during pregnancy. We recommend consulting your physician, as we are not medical professionals- we are your spray tan artists, we leave the serious stuff to the docs.

We do not recommend this, as the sunburned areas have a high probability of peeling within 24 hours after your spray tan appointment. The DHA in the spray tan solution is drying to the skin, accelerating the peeling process. We know, we know, you never peel. But this will make you peel.
Spray tanning works by applying a fine mist of solution to your skin. The active ingredient, DHA, reacts with the amino acids in the outer layer of your skin to produce a natural-looking tan. The process takes about 20 minutes from walking in the door to walking out and the color develops over the next 24 hours.
DHA or dihydroxyacetone is the active ingredient in spray tan solutions that gives your skin that beautiful tan color. It's derived from natural sources, like sugar beets and sugar cane, but it's important to note that the DHA used in spray tans is not organic, as it undergoes a chemical process to become the effective tanning agent used today. While DHA is FDA-approved for external use, no spray tan solution can truly be labeled as 'organic'. Bottom line, it is impossible for spray tan solution to be organic when the active ingredient goes through a chemical process before being added into a solution that we spray.
It didn't. But we know you are sad. It's just the bronzer, the tan will come back and develop over the next 24 hours, promise. It's all chemistry.
We recommend 2-3 days before. It takes 24-36 hours to fully develop.

The spray tan will definitely help to blend the, but we also have a "tan eraser" option that you can add to any spray tan option (+$20) where we use a special contour gun to blend those tan lines away. Make sure to let your spray tan artist know that you would like to add this to your appointment before we begin the spray tan!
