Know the Difference

Custom Airbrush vs. Spray Booth

Not all spray tans are created equal. Here's why what I do is different — and better.

🎨

Custom Airbrush (What I Do)

Hand-done by a real human — me!
Color is customized to YOUR skin tone
Every contour, curve, and angle is covered evenly
I can blend, build, and adjust as we go
You get a result that looks natural, not orange
Perfect for events, weddings, or just treating yourself

🤖

Spray Booth

Automated machine — no human touch
One-size-fits-all formula
Can miss spots or over-spray certain areas
No customization for your skin tone
Results can be uneven or patchy
No one to answer your questions in real time

Prep is Everything

Before Your Tan

A little prep goes a long way. Follow these steps for the best possible result!

Exfoliate the Night Before

Use an oil-free exfoliating scrub in the shower the night before your appointment — not right before. Pay extra attention to dry areas like knees, elbows, ankles, and wrists. This is the single most important step for an even, long-lasting tan!

Shave or Wax First

Shave the night before your appointment. If waxing, do it at least 48 hours before your tan to let pores close. Never shave right before — it opens pores and affects how the tan develops.

Come With Clean, Bare Skin

Arrive with no lotion, deodorant, perfume, or makeup on your skin. Any product on your skin will create a barrier and prevent an even tan. If you must shower the day of, do so several hours before and skip all products.

Ditch the Dove (and Olay)

Bar soaps and body washes like Dove, Olay, or anything with oils leave a residue that fights with your tan. Switch to a plain, oil-free body wash for a few days before your appointment!

Wear the Right Thing

After your tan, wear dark, loose, flowy clothing — think dark maxi dress, loose sweatpants, flip flops. Avoid tight waistbands, bra straps, leggings, or anything that rubs. Tight clothing can smear your tan before it sets!

Finish Other Services First

Manicures, pedicures, facials, massages, lash fills, Botox — all of it should be done at least 24 hours before your tan. Your tan is always the last stop!

You're in Good Hands

During Your Session

Here's what to expect when you arrive — spoiler: it's really fun and takes less than 20 minutes!

What to wear during the tan? Per the Ohio Cosmetology Board, everyone is required to wear some form of bottom — underwear, swim bottoms, whatever you prefer. We also have disposable thongs available at the salon if you need one! On top, you can wear a bikini top, strapless bra, or nothing at all — totally your call. Zero judgment here, just know you'll have tan lines with whatever you decide.

You pick the music. Seriously. This is your moment. Good music, good vibes, good glow.

Before we start, we'll chat about your desired color and how dark you want to go. I'll guide you through a few simple positions as I apply the tan — it's easy, quick, and kind of fun. The whole process takes less than 20 minutes and you'll walk out glowing!

First timer? Don't stress. I'll walk you through every single step and make sure you feel completely comfortable the whole time. You've got this — and I've got you! 💗

You are welcome exactly as you are. 💗

Make It Last

After Your Tan

✅ Do This

💧Rinse with warm water only (no soap!) at the time I advise — and yes, I mean it!
👐Use your hands to rinse — no loofahs or washcloths
🧴Moisturize immediately after rinsing and every morning and night after
👗Wear loose, dark clothing after your session
⏳Wait a full 24 hours before showering with soap or body wash
😮Expect the tan to look lighter right after rinsing — that's totally normal! It takes a full 24 hours to see the final result

🚫 Avoid This

🌊Ocean, pools, and hot tubs right away
💦Sweating or exercise for at least 24 hours
🧼Dove, Olay, or oil-based soaps and washes
🧽Loofahs, exfoliants, or scrubs
🌸Perfume or sprays directly on skin for 24 hours
🤜Skin-to-skin contact until after your first rinse
🏖️Sand — it's a natural exfoliant and will fade your tan fast!
🚿Rubbing with your towel after a shower — just pat yourself dry, girl! 😄

Good Questions

Spray Tan FAQs

Will I look orange? ▼

Not with a custom airbrush tan! The color is specifically matched to your skin tone. I use a solution that develops into a natural-looking bronze — not the orange-y result you might be picturing from a spray booth. The bronzer you see right after the application is temporary — your real tan develops underneath and reveals itself after your first rinse.

How long will my tan last? ▼

With good prep and aftercare, most tans last 7–10 days. The better you moisturize, the longer it lasts! Dry skin fades faster, so keep that skin hydrated every single day.

Classic Glow vs. Express Glow — what's the difference? ▼

Classic Glow ($50) — develops in 8–12 hours. Best if you have a relaxed evening ahead and can avoid sweating, water, and tight clothing for several hours.

Express Glow ($60) — rinses in just 2–5 hours. Great if you have somewhere to be and can't wait all day. The shorter you leave it, the lighter the result — so if you want deep color, leave it the full 5 hours!

What if my tan looks streaky or uneven after it develops? ▼

The most common causes are skipping exfoliation, having product on the skin at the time of application, or wearing tight clothing right after. That's why prep is everything! If something doesn't look right, just reach out — I always want you to love your results.

Can I get a spray tan if I'm pregnant? ▼

Always check with your doctor first! DHA (the active tanning ingredient) is considered safe for topical use, but every pregnancy is different. When in doubt, ask your provider!

I have a special event coming up — when should I book? ▼

Book your spray tan 1–2 days before your event for the best results. This gives the tan time to fully develop and settle into a beautiful, even color. Book early to make sure you get the time slot you need!

I'm nervous — is this weird or uncomfortable? ▼

Honestly? It's one of the most fun appointments you'll ever have. I have spray tanned friends and strangers for over a decade and I promise — you will be totally at ease. You pick the music, we chat, you're in and out in under 20 minutes, and you leave glowing. First-timers are always shocked at how fun and easy it is! Don't let nerves stop you from your best tan. 💗

What are your spray tan enhancements? ▼

You can customize your session by adding any of the following to your solution: DHA Booster Concentrate (deeper color), Golden Shimmer (a gorgeous glow), Restore CBD Concentrate (skin benefits), Anti-Aging Concentrate, or Vanilla Scent. Just ask when you book and we'll talk through what sounds good for you!
