UV FREE TANNING FAQ

SINCE SOMEONE IS PHYSICALLY SPRAYING ME, DO I NEED TO TIP?

The Custom Airbrush is a service like any you would receive in a hair or nail salon. We do suggest tipping your technician.

IS THERE ANYTHING I NEED TO DO BEFORE GETTING A SPRAY?

Yes, preparing your skin is extremely important. Please make sure to shower and exfoliate your skin. Do not put on any type of moisturizers, lotions, makeup or deodorant on your skin. Also, please refrain from using any perfume or cologne. Doing so may result in streaks on your skin, and create a barrier between your skin and the solution. Coming as fresh out of a showeras possible is best.

I HAVE A BIG EVENT COMING UP, WHEN SHOULD I DO THE SPRAY?

A Custom Airbrush for a big event such as a wedding, prom, or even a vacation should be done 2 days before. Sprays look their very best on their 2nd and 3rd day. If you are getting married you want to make sure all excess bronzers are completely off your skin before putting on your dress, we advise 2 showers before your big day!

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR A CUSTOM AIRBRUSH?

Its completely up to you what you'd like to wear. We suggest whatever you are comfortable in. Some people decide to go topless, others wear a strapless bra and panties. Clients sometimes choose to go nude which is fine. We do ask if you are a male client to keep something on, whether it be shorts or boxers. Whatever you decide to leave on, the solution doesnt stain.

HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHICH COLOR TO SPRAY?

Our trained technicians are very good at judging how much solution to apply based on skin tone. Whether you are very fair or have a dark complexion we will apply the correct amount of solution to give you the tan you are looking for. We will have you look at the color you receive before finishing and may add more color based on that.

HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT AFTER AN AIRBRUSH SESSION BEFORE SHOWERING?

You want to give the bronzers time to develop. We suggest 6-8 hours at the veryy minimum. Most clients choose to shower the next morning. During this time please do not go to the gym, sweat, or go swimming.

I HAVENT SHOWERED YET, BUT IT LOOKS WAY TOO DARK.

Once you take a shower a lot of excess bronzers are going to come off your skin leaving a beautiful bronze tan.

MY LEGS NEVER SEEM TO TAN, WILL THIS HELP?

Yes, infact this is a very common question. For this reason our technicians always do 2-3 coats on the legs to make sure they get enough color.

HAS ANYONE HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE AIRBRUSH SOLUTION?

The components we use in our solution have been successfully used in cosmetics and food products for decades, and are proven safe for use on the skin.

HOW QUICKLY CAN I GET DRESSED AFTER A AIRBRUSH TANNING SPRAY?

As soon as the spray application is done you can get dressed right away. Please bring loose fitting clothes for after. You dont want anything rubbing too tightly against the spray. Ladies-we recommend wearing no bra when leaving the salon. Just so strap marks do not occur. A tee shirt and loose pants are your best options.

I'M GETTING MARRIED, DO YOU SUGGEST A TRIAL SPRAY?

We definetely recommend getting a trial spray before your big day, just to make sure its what you are looking for. Its suggested trying it about a month in advance. This will give you time to get any solution that may be left on your skin plenty of time to come off, leaving you a perfect base for your wedding day spray.

HOW LONG DOES THE CUSTOM AIRBRUSH LAST?

Generally, most sprays last 5-7 days., Moisturizing daily helps prolong the life of the tan.

WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE SURE I DO AFTER THE SPRAY?

Wear loose clothes! Make sure you wait the 6-8 hours to shower.Do not scrub your skin while showering for a few days. No loofahs please. Moisturize every day to extend the life of your tan. Letting your skin get dry will make the tan fade faster. We recommend the California Tan Extender Moisturizer (sold in salon) to use to keep your Custom Airbrush looking great!

I FOUND A STREAK ON MY SKIN, HOW DO I GET RID OF IT?

Though this is very rare, it can happen. Baking Soda and Water mixed together create a paste. Rub this on the streak and this will help blend any imperfections. Lemon juice also works the same way. Normally any smudges seen before showering are just excess bronzers and will blend once you take your first shower.

CAN I BOOK A GROUP?

Of course! Groups are always welcome. If it is a big group for a special occassion we may decide on doing it after our salon is closed. It will be easier to accomidate a large amount of people at one time. Call 508-852-0900 and we can make arrangements!
