For a single-day event, we recommend getting your spray tan 2 days prior. If that's not possible, aim for at least 24 hours before to allow the tan to fully develop. (For example, avoid tanning late at night if your event is the next morning.) For vacations or multi-day events, tan as close to your departure as possible so it lasts through the entire trip. We use rapid solutions, which require specific rinse times but still take 24 hours to fully develop: Light tan: Rinse after 1–2 hours Medium tan: Rinse after 3–4 hours Dark tan: Rinse after 5+ hours Please keep these timing guidelines in mind when booking, especially if you'll need a shower soon after your appointment.

First-time clients should expect up to 20 minutes, including a brief consultation before the spray tan. The spray tan itself takes about 10 minutes. Returning clients are typically in and out in 10–15 minutes. In a hurry? You can help speed things up by arriving with no products on your skin, all jewelry removed, and your waiver filled out prior to your appointment.

Each Airbrush Tan appointment begins with a quick consultation. New clients: We'll assess your skin type and tanning goals. Returning clients: We'll review your previous tan and make any needed adjustments. Protective wear such as hair nets, disposable thongs, nose filters, nipple covers, and eye wear are all available upon request. Before tanning, we apply a hydrating prep spray to balance your skin’s pH and use barrier cream on dry areas, if needed. Your tan will be applied by one of our trained spray tan artists. Afterward, we’ll: Blend hands, feet, and any blemishes for a natural finish Wipe palms and nails to remove excess solution Apply our custom finishing powder to reduce stickiness and help you feel fresh

PREPERATION: Use an exfoliating mitt to scrub your entire body the day before your appointment. Removing dead skin helps your tan apply evenly & last longer. Pay extra attention to dry areas like the ankles, tops of your hands & feet, knees, elbows, as well as areas that are often skipped over such as your neck, chest, and underarms. Exfoliating mitts are available for purchase in our salons & on our website. Use a gel-based body wash in the shower as the final step to remove any residue from conditioner, soap, or shaving. Avoid showering too close to your appointment. Your last shower should not be less than 2 hours before your appointment. HAIR REMOVAL: Shaving: Shave before your appointment and wash thoroughly to remove all shaving cream or oil residue. If you have coarse hair, shave the day before to prevent bronzer settling in follicles. Waxing: Do at least 48 hours before your session. Sugaring: Same-day is fine, but remove all residue and avoid oil-based aftercare. Laser Hair Removal: Must be done 2 days prior, with no irritation present. OTHER SERVICES: Schedule manicures, pedicures, facials, or massages 1–2 days before your tan. PRODUCTS TO AVOID: Bar soaps, oil-based products, & creamy body washes (like Dove or Olay) can block your tan from developing. If used, lather in a loofah or washcloth to avoid buildup. Products from Aveeno & Sol de Janerio can turn your tan grey. Skip deodorant, heavy lotions, oils, & perfume. If needed, ask for a wipe to remove deodorant before your tan. ​ You may use Hempz, Cetaphil, or CeraVe lotions—just avoid their thick creams or oils.

Shower 2 or more hours prior to your tan. Showering immediately before tanning can result in a lighter than desired tan. Be mindful of any possible residue that might not rinse completely away (i.e. hair conditioner, soap, moisture strip from shaving). It's best to wash your body with a gel-like body wash as the very last step to ensure all residue is washed off your skin. Creamy body washes like Dove and Oil of Olay can create a barrier on the skin, which can sometimes lead to a lighter than desired tan. If this is all you have available, we recommend applying the cleanser to a puff or wash clothe, and lathering it into a thin but sudsy foam BEFORE applying it to your body. (Applying the soap directly to your skin will definitely leave a thick residue, you must dilute the cleanser). Avoid all bar soaps and oil based products. Avoid wearing deodorant to your appointment, if possible. If this is not an option, you may wear deodorant, but be sure to request a wipe so you can scrub it off before tanning. Avoid wearing thick body creams, oils, or perfume to your appointment. You may use the following lotions to your appointment, as they don't cause issues with our tanning solution: Hempz, Cetaphil, Cerave (Do not use their thick creams or oils).

Women may tan in anything they are comfortable in, or wear nothing at all. Disposable thongs are available upon request. Men can wear boxers, briefs, a speedo, or a snug sock over the genitals. We do not tan completely nude males. Please wear loose & comfortable dark clothing after your spray tanning appointment. This will protect your car seat/interior, furniture, etc. as well as protect your tan from skin-to-skin contact or contact with non-breathable surfaces which can ruin your tan.

Avoid water, sweating, exercising, tight clothing & touching your tan until you have rinsed off. Wear dark, loose long sleeve and pants to protect your tan from skin-to-skin contact with non-breathable surfaces as it can cause your tan to develop unevenly.

Post tan: After your tan, you should wear dark loose clothing. We recommend loose long pants and sleeves as it reduces skin-to-skin contact, which can result is unevenness. Do not wear a tight bra or any tight clothing, as it will rub the solution off of your skin. You will rinse at the recommended time, which can range from 60 minutes to overnight. Your first rinse, will be just a QUICK warm water rinse, without soap. You may use your hands to remove the cosmetic bronzer. You will see cosmetic bronzer rinsing away, this is normal and your tan will continue to develop. You may use hydrating body wash during your next regularly scheduled shower, followed by a high quality moisturizer free of mineral oil and petroleum products. You should moisturize from head to toe at least twice per day. Keep your showers quick, cool to warm (not hot), and hand lather to wash - do not use a wash clothe or scrub. If you receive a rapid spray tan, you MUST rinse at the time indicated, or your will be at risk for over development! (Orange!) Your tan will be fully developed around 24 hours post tan. Keep your skin hydrated and moisturized with a lotion that is free of mineral oil, petroleum, ethanol, AHA's, and other exfoliating and alcohol based products, as it will strip your tan. We offer variety of options that will keep your skin hydrated and your tan lasting longer. Avoid long hot showers and baths, Jacuzzis, loofahs and exfoliants of any kind, including waxing and sugaring, until your tan is ready to be removed. Acne and anti-aging products often contain chemical exfoliators, which will cause uneven & premature fading. As always, use a lotion based sunscreen as spray tans do not protect from harmful UV rays.

You can expect your tan to last at least 5 to 7 days depending on your skin preparation and your skin's health. Clients who incorporate our post tan care instructions & spray tan safe products, such as a daily moisturizer & gradual tanning lotion, will maintain a their tan twice as long. With excellent care you can expect your tan to be remain pretty noticeable for the 7-10 days, while gradually getting lighter in the final remaining days.

Your spray tan can be extended through proper preparation, first and foremost. Exfoliating thoroughly 2 days in a row BEFORE your spray tan will provide a smooth canvas to start with. From there the use of spray tan safe products is important. Moisturize at least two times per week & stay hydrated from the inside out. Soaps such as Dove, Oil or Olay Irish Spring & Dial should be avoided as we find that it dulls your tan. Using a gentle cleanser & your hands only to lather & wash is the best way to prevent premature fading. Incorporating a tan extender or gradual tanning lotion, is a good investment as it will further extend the life of your tan. Do not use aerosol sunscreens or apply perfume directly to your skin - the alcohol will erode your tan. Avoid excessive exposure to water, friction, sweating & all other forms of exfoliation while maintaining your spray tan. Keep your showers quick and a cool as possible, avoid HOT water and long soaks.

Some issues can be easily fixed at home or left alone while others may require a touch up from one of our staff. Please text your spray tan artist a picture and description of what happened so we can assess next steps. Please note that a touch up fee of $30 for every 10 minutes (10 minute minimum) may be applicable depending on the severity.

Our tans are performed infront of a high-velocity extraction unit which sucks up the excess spray and filters out the air. In addition, our house solution is made of a unique combination of skin nourishing, natural & hypoallergenic ingredients along with highly purified water & the natural sugar derived tanning agent, DHA. This combination produces beautiful results. Our product is unique & clients can be assured that it contains no scent or parabens. Mint Bronze & Beauty offers protection for the mucous membranes via nose plugs, disposable underwear, lip oil & eye protection, upon request, at no charge should you feel a need to use it.

Pregnant women have been spray tanning without issues for decades as there is no known contraindications. We offer various forms of protection including eye wear, nose filters, & an extraction unit that filters the over spray in the air. It is recommended that pregnant women wear underwear during your spray tan. Although our tanning solutions use organic, natural, & hypoallergenic ingredients, we still recommend consulting your doctor if you are in your 1st trimester or if you are experiencing a high risk pregnancy.

No, it doesn't! Spray tan solutions do not provide any useful protection against UV rays. We recommend the use of a high quality sunscreen in the form of a lotion, not aerosol. We offer spray tan safe SPF lotions that you can purchase in our studio.

We cannot guarantee a perfect blend, but we can certainly improve the appearance and minimize the tan lines. Tan line cover ups require skill, precision, and extra time, so there is an additional $30 fee if your appointment runs over the originally allocated time.

You must avoid getting wet or touching your tan until you've rinsed off. It's best to get any beauty or wellness treatment before your tan. If you are getting a treatment done the same day of your tanning appointment, before to do it BEFORE your tan, and remove ALL product residue (lotion, oils, etc.) prior to tanning. If you have another service scheduled after your tan, we are not responsible for any mishaps that occur. Touch ups are available, but we charge a touch up fee of $30 for every 10 minutes (10 minute minimum).

We provide an impressive & natural looking tan on all skin types because we customize your tan based on your natural undertones and tanning goals. We can give you a "light glow" or a deep yet natural "peak of summer" tan. In most cases, the results are superior to sun exposure & it is significantly safer!
