Frequently asked questions
The most common questions we get from our clients
DEFINITELY NOT! I will be will be spray tanning you by hand using a compressed airbrush gun and a customized solution mixed specifically for you. This allows me to shade and contour certain areas, blend the hands and feet naturally, and customize the tan be the shade desired.
Females over the age of 18 may undress as much or as little as they are comfortable with. Some clients wear a swimsuit or bra and undies, some wear just a thong, and others who prefer no tan lines will go fully nude. The most popular option is wearing just a thong as most clients like to see the contrast of the "before and after"! Do not wear jewelry to the appointment -please remove it before you arrive. Whatever you choose, remember that this is a judgement free zone! We see naked bodies every day in the studio and we're only looking at your skin as a canvas, we are here to make you feel GOOD and CONFIDENT. No body shaming yourself or apologizing for stretch marks, unshaved body parts, cellulite, unpainted nails, or anything else!
Males and anyone under 18 must wear bottoms; females under 18 must wear top and bottoms.
We invest in only the highest quality and grade of spray tan solutions on the market and we test all solutions on ourselves before deciding if we should offer it to our clients. We can customize the solution based on your skin type, skin tone, and desired tan.
We understand that everyone has different skin and that a one-size-fits-all solution won't work for everyone. This is why we carry a range of products to ensure every client gets the BEST option for their DREAM GLOW GOALS!
The active ingredient in all sunless tanning products is called DHA which is short for dihydroxyacetone. The actual color you see being applied to your skin at the appointment is NOT the final result as many people think it is -that is only a cosmetic bronzer which acts as a guide for the spray tan artist to see where they've sprayed you and so that you have the instant satisfaction of a tan. However, there are CLEAR spray tan solutions that contain DHA and will give you that glow when the development fully takes place 24-48 hours after the appointment.
The DHA reacts with the amino acids in the top layer of dead skin cells on your skin...this reaction changes the color of the dead skin cells creating a look that simulates a tan. Once the dead skin cells fall off as they naturally do, this is when the tan starts to fade (hence why we tell everyone to exfoliate the day before a tan so we have the "freshest" and newest layer of dead skin to work with). Once the bronzer is rinsed off and the real result starts to come through, the tan will become much more blended and smooth than it was while the cosmetic bronzer was on your skin.
Not all spray tans need to be dark. Sometimes the best spray tan, is the one that looks natural and almost goes undetected. If you prefer a subtle glow, just let us know. We always start each appointment with a consultation to go over the tan result you want to achieve so we can customize it just for you to make you look and feel as confident as possible!
A resounding YES! The MAJORITY of our daily appointments are clients who are about to go on a vacation and want to have a glow and can arrive at your destination already glowing and bronze! You’ll feel so much more confident in your cute vacation outfits, swimsuits, dresses, etc. Plus, you don’t have to worry about laying out in the sun and getting burnt or getting strange & uneven tan lines. It is SUPER common to get a spray tan before a trip!
Anytime between 1-3 days prior to the event is good timing, however, 2 days prior is the best. Ex: if your wedding is on Saturday, book the tan on Thursday. Be sure to read our Prep & Aftercare page to see when your other appointments should be booked around your tan (nails, lashes, waxing etc.)
This is exactly why we offer our SWEAT RESISTANT spray tans! It is toasty out here in DFW and we have the MAJORITY of women choose this as their preferred spray tan! Whether you are a workout queen, or just want to keep that tan glowing, this is the tan for you! After your initial rinse, you can continue your workouts and look GLOWING doing it! Just remember to follow our specific aftercare instructions, and always PAT YOURSELF DRY with a towel if you are sweating, or after your shower, & moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
When you get a spray tan, the cosmetic bronzer that will be applied to your skin at the appointment will rinse off after you shower. Before the first shower, it can rub off which is why we recommend wearing loose & dark clothing to your appointment. The first shower you have after the appointment will only be a rinse with water (no soap or any other products) to stop the tan development from getting darker. Occasionally, there can be a bit of bronzer on the skin after the first rinse. Typically, the bronzer will come off completely after you have your first normal shower with body wash/soap. This is why we recommend brides come 2 days prior to their wedding day to ensure they’ve had a “normal” shower with body wash so all the bronzer comes off the skin before putting their dress on.
If you want to feel extra confident about this, we have setting powder that you can put under the arms or anywhere else you’re concerned about). We’ve had great success with our brides who come 2 days prior to the wedding and use the powder trick!
A spray tan will not affect the way your skin is affected by UV rays. This means that if you normally tan in the sun, you still can! This also means you can still burn as well. We recommend wearing SPF at all times. If you have had a recent sun burn or sun damage at all, it is NOT a good idea to get a spray tan.
Our cancellation policy: if necessary, please cancel or reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours prior to the appointment time. Any cancellations within the 24 hour period will be subject to our cancellation fee which is 100% of the service booked. If a client does not show up or is more than 10 minutes late, the 100% cancellation fee will apply.
Refund policy: we have a very strict no refund policy due to the nature of spray tans. 50% of the final spray tan result comes from the work of the artist and the other 50% depends on the clients own unique skin. We highly recommend following our prep & aftercare instructions to help prevent any mishaps. However, even if a client follows the exact prep instructions, there are several factors that can affect a spray tan which are 100% out of our control (clients skin pH levels, client’s hormones, client’s products they’ve used on their skin recently, client’s diet, when a client sweats, and several others). In the rare case that the tan doesn’t turn out perfect, we will do our best to help rectify the issue and troubleshoot the problem to the best of our ability. Since we are fully transparent about how spray tans work and that some of the final result is not in our control, we do not offer refunds. Depending on the situation, we may offer some type of store credit or discount towards a future appointment if we deem it appropriate.
