Preparation is the key for a long lasting flawless tan. We recommend to shower or bath the night prior to your appointment. This is a perfect opportunity to exfoliate your body leaving a perfect base for your spray tan. This is also an ideal time to do any hair removal that might need doing. However if you don't have the opportunity to complete your preparation the night before we recommend leaving at least 2 hours before your tan so the pores on your skin have time to shrink.

Our tans develop between 2-6 hours when first applied. However, after having a shower our tans will continue to develop for 24 hours. Therefore, we recommend coming for your spray 1-2 days prior to your event to ensure you are bronzed and ready to go!
