About Airbrushing
Enjoy a natural sun-kissed look without the sun damage. Custom Airbrush Spray Tanning is a great way to boost your confidence for special occasions like vacations, weddings, or work parties, while feeling great in your own skin!
Custom Airbrush Tans contain organic high-quality ingredients and are fully customizable to your skin tone, meaning there’s no risk of developing orange. Airbrush tans reduce your risk of damage and are a safe alternative to tanning beds and UV-ray exposure. Save your skin by treating yourself to a sunless tan!
Prep and After-Care
Proper pre- and post-care is key to achieving and keeping a beautiful tan. Obtaining a stunning glow is a team effort, after all! Take a look at our tips below.
- Ensure all other personal service appointments are completed prior to your spray tan (sugaring, waxing, mani-pedis, lash extensions, facials, etc.).
- Hair removal (sugaring, waxing, or shaving) should be done 48 hours before your session.
- Book 1-2 days before vacations or 1-3 days before events.
- Moisturize and hydrate in the days leading up to your appointment.
- In the weeks leading to your appointment, exfoliate 2-4 times before your session to remove dead skin cells and help prevent an uneven tan.


FAQs
Here are a few common questions tanning clients have. Please feel free to reach out if you have more!
- Do not exfoliate until your tan has faded.
- If you need to shave, we recommend doing so gently with a new razor. Keep in mind sugaring or waxing will remove spray tan.
- Avoid exfoliants, cleansing tools, and oil-based cleansers. Gentle facial cleansers are okay.
