Spray Tan Q & A

Please contact SBR if any of your questions or concerns are not addressed below

how long does it take?

From the time you walk in my door til you walk out about 20-30 minutes

what do i wear?

Whatever you are comfortable wearing! the bronzers will wash out of clothing but "older/darker" undies/bra are recommended IF wearing. Don't want tan lines? Birthday suit it is! Most gals wear a thong and go topless if you want to know "what other people do"

"but i have big boobs, i can't go topless" yes you can! SBR knows all the techniques

how does the process work?
 

You will undress and we will do a few quick things like apply barrier cream, put on a cap and put in nose plugs. You will stand in a tent while I spray tan you. I tell you what to do the whole time, so no guessing involved! Its slightly cold and wet but I apply powder and dry before we're done! Super quick and easy!

how long until i rinse the tan off?

You will more than likely sleep in your spray tan (if you get sprayed in the PM) and you will rinse your tan off the following morning right away. You may wash your body with spray tan safe body wash at the 20-24 hr mark from the time you got the spray tan.

how long does the tan take to develop?

You will be tan when you wake up the following morning however the tan continues to develop even after you rinse it off. Your tan will be fully developed after 24 hrs.

what is a rapid tan?

Rapid tan does not mean you get tan quicker. It just means you can rinse the spray tan off sooner compared to the standard tan. This tan is used when in a pinch and you are unable to stay in the spray tan for at least 8 hrs before rinsing, then we would go the Rapid tan route.

how long do spray tans last?

On average they generally last about a week. Longevity of spray tan depends on NUMEROUS factors including but not limited to how well you prepped your skin, product use, PH levels of skin, hormones, how often you shower & sweat, what you wear etc. Some things in your control, some things outside of your control. Most important for a long lasting tan, HYDRATED SKIN.

will i look orange?

No. I wouldn't be in business if I made people orange. The only chance of you looking orange is if we try to go too dark for your skin type. 

I have sunburn, can i get a spray tan?

Short answer, NO. You should not spray tan over sunburnt skin because it will more than likely develop blotchy. Think about it, your skin is compromised where you have sunburn, the tan will likely not develop the same there as it will on your unburnt skin. 

can i work out after my spray tan?

Please wait til after the 24 hr mark to workout and use baby powder where skin rubs to prevent fading/patchy tan.

do i have to wear long pants/sleeves after?

Yes, It is BEST to wear long sleeves and long pants to avoid skin-to-skin contact. Skin-to-skin contact can mess up your tan while you're processing.

what if im going to be in a pool or hot tub?

Your spray tan will not just.... come off. Pools, the ocean and hot tubs can cause your tan to not last as long and dry out your skin creating a more noticeable or less natural fade. You may certainly go in pools, hot tubs and the ocean but try to not spend too much time in them and rinse off after if able. 

will I look tan right after?

Immediately after spraying you you will see the BRONZERS, this is not your spray tan. The ingredient that makes your skin tan is CLEAR, you cannot see it on the skin. When you are ready to rinse your tan off all these bronzers will be washed away and you will see that your skin will have started to develop a tan. The initial bronzers are a color guide for your spray tan artist and give that immediate satisfaction of being tan.

ther​e aren't any times available that  i can do?

You may text or call SBR to check for any available time slots, request a fri-sun or group mobile appt. Please disclose what date you were looking to be tan for (if applicable). SBR works a full time job during the week so appts are typically only evenings mon-thurs.
