Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a tan last?
Typically 7–10 days with proper care and hydration.
Is spray tanning safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes — all Shades solutions are acne-safe and non-comedogenic, infused with botanicals and antioxidants to support healthy skin.
Will it stain my clothes or sheets?
Some bronzer transfer may occur, but it washes out easily. Stick to loose, dark fabrics after your tan.
Can I spray tan if I’m pregnant?
Many clients do! Always consult your doctor first.
How do I prep if I’m getting a mani/pedi or waxing?
Schedule manicures, pedicures, or waxing before your tan (ideally 24–48 hours). If after, wait 2 days and request minimal soaking.
Can I swim?
Chlorine and salt water may fade your tan faster — use a waterproof SPF to help preserve color.
Does spray tanning protect me from the sun?
No — always wear SPF when outdoors.
Bridal FAQ
When should I book my wedding tan?
Schedule your final tan 2–3 days before your wedding to allow for your first rinse and full color development.
Do I need a trial?
Yes! A trial tan 3–4 weeks before your big day ensures we perfect your shade before your final appointment.
Will it stain my dress?
Once you’ve rinsed and your tan has set, color transfer is rare. For snug gowns, a dusting of powder under arms or straps can prevent rubbing.
Do you offer bridal party tans?
Absolutely! Group bookings are available for bridesmaids, moms, and even the groom.
