How Mobile Spray Tans Work
After you choose your service, I'll meet you at your location. You'll select a room (living room, kitchen, etc.) that fits our waterproof, stain-resistant pop-up tent (7ft height, 4’x4’ width, 6ft door height). A well-lit, air-conditioned room with a nearby outlet is ideal.
Will Spray Tans Make Me Orange?
The "orange" effect comes from poorly treated DHA or skin sensitivity. Too much DHA or an imbalance in the solution can cause this. We balance DHA perfectly for your skin type, determined using the Fitzpatrick Scale.
What is the Fitzpatrick Scale?
Dermatologists and estheticians use it to determine your skin's reaction to the sun and your DHA threshold.
What is DHA, and is it Safe?
DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is derived from refined beets and sugar cane. It's FDA-approved and safe. It reacts with amino acids in your skin's top layer to create a tan, similar to sun tanning.
Will DHA Dry Out My Skin?
DHA can dry out skin if not moisturized. We use water-based moisturizing agents to keep your skin hydrated.
What Does DHA Smell Like?
DHA has a naturally sweet smell. When prepared for spray tanning, it retains a fresh, clean scent.
How Long Will My Spray Tan Last?
A spray tan typically lasts 7-10 days and fades evenly, like a natural tan. Exfoliating will speed up this process.
Can I Get a Spray Tan While Pregnant/Breastfeeding?
Consult your physician before getting a spray tan if pregnant or breastfeeding. Transfer can happen during breastfeeding before the initial rinse, so pump or nurse closest to your appointment. Nipple pads, or a bra are suggested to avoid leakage, we provide disposables in both items!
What is a Spray Tan Bronzer?
Bronzer provides the instant tan look before DHA develops. It washes off in the shower.
What if I'm Allergic to Red Dye Number 40?
We offer a dye-free and bronzer-free silk rapid solution that develops based on your skin's natural tones for a neutral tan.
How Long Will My Appointment Take?
In-house appointments take 15-20 minutes for two passes. Mobile appointments require an additional 10-20 minutes for setup.
