Sunbed Tanning
Get ready to unveil your sun-kissed glow in 3 - 8 days with our "base tan" regimen.
The day before or the morning of your session, indulge in some exfoliation to prep your canvas.
Arrive with squeaky-clean, moisturized skin – sunscreen is a no-no, unless you're aiming to keep certain areas pale.
Our savvy experts will decode your skin type and craft a bespoke sunbed exposure plan for optimal bronzing.
Before basking in the rays, slather on our salon-exclusive tan accelerator to supercharge your results, elevate your skin's radiance, and keep it quenched.
Post-tan, lavish your skin with high-quality moisturizers to prolong your golden hue and keep hydration levels on point. Remember, well-hydrated skin is the key to a flawless tan.
To uphold your base, schedule one to three sunbed sessions every 7 to 10 days, tailored to your skin type and bed preference. Your individual glow-up journey may vary.

Your Path to a Flawless Tan
Spray Tanning
CLEAN SKIN:
Prepare for your spray tan by gently exfoliating your skin with a washcloth or loofah, avoiding any abrasive products like salt or sugar scrubs.
Stick to simple washcloths, loofahs, and water-based shower gels—no oils or silicones allowed—as they leave residue on your skin.
Make sure your skin is free of any lotions or residues that could interfere with the spray tan solution's magic.
Avoid deodorants or perfumes.
Prior to your spray tan, treat your skin to a pH-balancing pre-product for that picture-perfect finish. Our team can guide you on your best options.
Post-spray tan, resist the urge to bathe for at least six to twenty hours. The longer the better - up to 20 hours MAX. If you're in a rush, opt for our accelerator additive to speed up the tan development process.
When you do bathe, keep it simple—water rinse only, with minimal soap on sensitive areas.
After every shower, slather on our water-based, aloe-infused moisturizer to keep that golden glow gleaming. Remember, steer clear of oils and silicones to maintain your tan's brilliance.

frequently asked questions
FAQ's
How long should my tanning session be?
Answer: The duration of your tanning session depends on various factors such as your skin type, tanning history, and the type of tanning bed. A typical session can range from 5 to 12 minutes.
How often should I tan to achieve the desired results?
We suggest starting with frequent sessions in the first two weeks, gradually increasing session times as your skin adjusts, to achieve a base tan. Once you've reached your desired base tan, we recommend reducing the frequency to maintain your glowing complexion.
What type of tanning beds do you offer, and which one is best for my skin type?
We offer a variety of tanning beds with different UV intensities and features. Our staff can help you choose the best option based on your skin type, tanning goals, and preferences.
What should I wear during my tanning session?
Answer: You can wear swimwear, undergarments or go all natural! Just remember to gradually expose untanned private areas that haven't seen the sun for long time.
Are there any skincare products I should use before or after tanning?
Always use a professional salon, quality, tanning and skincare product to moisturize hydrate and nourish your skin. This will assure your best hand possible while taking care of your skin.
Can I tan if I have sensitive skin or a history of skin conditions?
Individuals with sensitive skin or a history of skin conditions should consult with their healthcare provider before tanning. Our staff can provide guidance on appropriate tanning methods and products.
How do I maintain my tan and ensure it lasts longer?
Answer: To maintain your tan, moisturize regularly to keep your skin hydrated and avoid exfoliating too frequently. Limit exposure to chlorinated water and avoid harsh skincare products that may strip away your tan. Additionally, consider touch-up tanning sessions as needed to prolong your tan's longevity.
