FAQ
-
Where are you located?
We are located in Lake Elsinore California. Since we are an in-home studio we provide the actual address the day you book you appointment as a safety precaution. We also offer mobile services to the surrounding areas.
-
When should I tan?
We recommend tanning 24-48 hours prior to your event. Make sure you are able to avoid sweating, exercise and swimming for 12-18 hours.
-
What should I wear to my appointment?
Loose-fitting and dark clothing. We like to recommend a maxi dress with flip flops. Anything without elastic bands, as they will cause creases and tan lines.
-
What to expect during my session?
We are over the moon (and sun!) excited to greet you and make this your best spray tanning experience you have ever had. We will provide you with any information you need to know. We will review the tips & tricks to enhance your tan and keep it fresh for as long as possible.
All guests are able to dress according to their own personal comfort level (swimsuit, strapless bra, underwear only, or tan line free).
We will spray you with your selected color and create your perfect Gold Glow.
-
How do I prepare for my tan?
Please shower, shave, and exfoliate 12-24 hours prior to your appointment. Do not use any lotion, makeup, or deodorant as this will affect your skins PH level and not allow the tan to adhere properly.
-
Is the spray tanning solution safe?
Absolutely. DHA, the main ingredient that creates the color on your skin, is actually a sugar! It has been tested by the Food and Drug Administration and deemed safe for external use only. We also only work with brands with clean ingredients and are naturally derived, vegan, cruelty free, and paraben free. Women who are pregnant or nursing should always consult their physician before receiving a spray tan.
-
What if I have a very fair skin that has never been able to tan?
You are the perfect candidate for spray tans! Many of our clients are not able to get “natural” color from the sun and they get a fantastic color that looks very real from our spray tans! We recommend first-time tanners start with light or medium so they know how their skin will react, then they can gradually go darker. Remember, darker tans are more obvious when they fade.
-
How long will the tan last?
Depending on how well you exfoliate before the tan, and take care of your skin afterwards, the average spray tan lasts 7 days. Dry skin will not hold the tan as long, and will fade “unevenly.” For regular color, we recommend tanning once a week and exfoliating your old tan off the 24-48 hours before you come in.
-
After receiving my airbrush tan or spray tan, I smudged it when I got dressed. Is my tan ruined?
Not at all. This is just the cosmetic bronzer that is added to the tan for your instant color results. It stays sticky for a little while after the tan, and can be smudged when you put on fitted clothing. When you take your first shower, the bronzer (as well as the smudges) will all rinse away. We advise against putting on tight bra straps immediately after tanning, as this does tend to rub away at the tan.
