How soon before my event should I book my spray tan?

I'm getting married, when should I book my spray tan?

It is highly recommended and encouraged that as a bride, you book a trial spray tan 3-4 weeks before your wedding, the earlier, the better. This allows you to get the full experience of a spray tan, see what color you like, how it works for your skin, and overall see how you like the spray tan. If there are any adjustments we need to make before your special day, we will have plenty of time to do so.

Should I spray tan my face?

Spray tanning the face is up to the client! Many clients will spray tan their face so they are not "two toned" in different shades from their face to their body (unless you have makeup to blend face). Some clients prefer not to spray their face. It is up to the client on their comfort level! 

How long will my spray tan last?

On average, the spray tan will last 5-7 days. Some clients experience longer lasting tans or shorter lasting tans. Every client is different on how long their tan will last them based on prior preparation and after care. Typically, the face will fade first due to any facial cleansers/makeup removers that may strip the tan quicker than other areas of the body. Results will vary.

What do I wear during my spray tan?

You can wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. You can wear a bra/underwear, bikini, nipple pasties, or go nude (if you want to avoid tan lines). Whatever you are most comfortable with!

Will the Spray Tan "ruin" my nails if I get them done before?
No! It "wipes" right off the polish, with no issues. Would be best if you can get your nails done before your spray tan appointment for best results.  

I have a skin condition, is spray tanning still an option for me?

Yes! A customized spray tan can be customized to your skin and its needs. When client shave skin conditions like vitiligo, psoriasis, eczema, etc. Jess is knowledgeable on how to properly treat and spray that area. . When the skin is extremely dry (psoriasis, eczema), we may apply a bit of lotion to those dry areas. This will prevent the tan from over-absorbing in those areas and from looking unnatural. When a client has a case of hyperpigmentation (melasma, vitiligo) we always make them aware that because those areas do not produce or pick up pigment naturally, it may not completely pick up the pigment from the spray tan. There are some cases where the spray tan will completely even it out or only mildly even it out. It varies client to client.
