If you're on the hunt for a flawless, natural-looking tan without the sun damage, you've come to the right place. Whether you're new to spray tans or a seasoned pro, this guide will help you get the best results and feel confident in your skin.


Why Choose Airbrush Tans?


Not all spray tans are created equal. Airbrush tans offer more than just a quick color boost - it focuses on quality, safety, and a natural finish that lasts. Here’s why it matters:


  • Custom Color Matching: Your skin tone is unique. Our airbrush tans tailor the tan to complement your natural complexion.

  • High-Quality Products: We use top-tier, skin-friendly formulas that hydrate and nourish your skin while tanning.

  • Expert Application: Our skilled technicians ensure even coverage, avoiding streaks or patches.

  • Long-Lasting Results: Airbrush tans fade gracefully, maintaining a healthy glow for days.


Choosing airbrush tans means investing in your skin’s health and your confidence. It’s not just about looking good today, but feeling great every day.

What to Expect from Mint Bronze & Beauty


When you book an airbrush tan with us, expect a smooth, relaxing experience. The goal is to leave you feeling pampered and radiant. Here's a quick rundown of what usually happens during your 20 minute appointment:


  1. Consultation: Our technicians will discuss your skin type, desired shade, tanning goals, and any allergies or sensitivities.

  2. Preparation: Our technicians will prep you with a hydration spray and some barrier cream on extra dry areas.

  3. Application: Using an airbrush, our technician applies the tanning solution evenly.

  4. Touch Ups:  Following the application, our technicians will blend out any blemishes and will clean off your nails and the palms of your hands for a flawless finish.

  5. Drying Time: You’ll spend a few minutes drying off to prevent smudging and we'll finish you off with a drying powder to eliminate any stickiness.

  6. Aftercare Tips: You’ll get advice on how to maintain your tan and extend its life.


What Should I Wear to My Spray Tan Appointment?


This is a common question, and the answer depends on your comfort and your tanning goals. Here’s what we recommend:


  • If you want an even tan throughout your entire body, it’s best to go nude. This avoids tan lines and ensures a seamless finish.

  • If you prefer some coverage, you may wear underwear, strapless bras, or nipple pasties. This minimizes visible lines while still offering some coverage. Disposable thongs and nipple pasties are complementary and are available upon request.


Remember, the goal is to feel comfortable and confident. If you’re unsure, ask your technician for advice before your appointment.


How to Prepare and Maintain Your Spray Tan


If you’re new to spray tanning, or need a reminder on how to prepare and maintain your tan, here are some quick tips to make your experience smooth and enjoyable:


  • Exfoliate and Shave the Day Before: This removes dead skin and helps the tan apply evenly. We recommend ditching the oil-based sugar scrubs and opting for a Korean Exfoliating Mitt for the best results.

  • Avoid Lotions or Oils Before Your Appointment: Certain products can act like a barrier, preventing the spray tan from properly developing. It's best to show up with a clean canvas for the best results.

  • Wear Loose, Dark Clothing Immediately After Your Tan: Tight clothes and shoes can rub off the tan.

  • Avoid Excessive Movement Immediately After: Sweating and skin-to-skin contact can affect the drying and development process. Wait to exercise after you have rinsed off.

  • Rinse Off When Advised: It's important to rinse off when your technician advises you to. Wearing your tan for too long can result in overdeveloment and turning orange! Not wearing your tan long enough can lead to underwhelming, light results.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drinking water and staying moisturized keeps your skin healthy and your tan glowing longer.

  • Use Gentle, Hydrating Products: Avoid exfoliants and harsh soaps that strip color. We recommend hand lathering your body soap in the shower while maintaining your tan.

  • Limit Excessive Water Exposure: Water is a natural exfoliant and therefore can break down the tan faster. Keep your showers on the cooler, shorter, and less frequent side. If possible, limit your salt water and chlorine exposure as much as possible.

  • Pat Dry After Showering: Rubbing can cause your tan to fade unevenly.

  • Book Regular Appointments: Consistent tanning helps maintain your desired color.


Following these tips will help you get the most out of your premium tanning service.
