Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between UV tanning and spray tanning?

A: UV tanning involves the use of UV light to darken the skin, while spray tanning uses a solution that is sprayed onto the skin to provide a tan without UV exposure.

Q: What are the risks associated with UV tanning?

A: The main risk associated with UV tanning is skin damage, which can lead to premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancer. It’s important to always wear protective eyewear and follow the recommended tanning guidelines to minimize these risks.

Q: How often should I tan?

A: It’s recommended to wait at least 48 hours between UV tanning sessions to allow the skin to recover. As for spray tanning, it can last anywhere from 4-7 days.

Q: Can I use any tanning lotion or do I need to purchase one from the salon?

A: While you are welcome to bring your own tanning lotion, we do recommend that they are salon qualified. Many low-end lotions bought at drugstores, online, and discount stores typically contain high levels of chemicals that are harmful to the skin and damaging to the equipment. This results in lower tan quality and skin issues. We offer a variety of high-quality tanning lotions specifically designed for use with our UV tanning equipment. Our knowledgeable staff can help you select the best lotion for your skin type and tanning goals.

Q: What is red light therapy?

A: Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity. It has been shown to improve skin health, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation.

Q: How long does a red light therapy session last?

A: Our red light therapy sessions last for 15-20 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Q: Can I tan and use red light therapy in the same visit?

A: Yes, you can! In fact, combining UV tanning with red light therapy can enhance the overall tanning experience and help you achieve a deeper, more even tan.

Q: How do I prepare for a spray tanning session?

A: It’s recommended to exfoliate and shave at least 24 hours before your spray tanning session. Avoid applying any lotions, oils, deodorant, or makeup to the skin before the session, and wear dark, loose, comfortable clothing to prevent any rubbing or smudging of the spray tan. Waxing and pedicures should be done before your spray tan.

Q: How long does a spray tan last?

A: Spray tans typically last for 4-7 days, depending on the individual’s skin type and how well they maintain their tan. It’s important to moisturize regularly and avoid excessive sweating and exposure to water to prolong the life of your spray tan.

Q: Can I tan if I’m pregnant?

A: It’s generally not recommended to tan during pregnancy. You may consult with your doctor about spray tan as an alternative
