2. Should my hair be clean before the massage?

Yes, you can—just know the area may be more sensitive. Wear a tampon or menstrual cup if you’re having a bikini service.

10 FAQs Before an Airbrush Tan

Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing after your session. Tight clothes or bras can rub the solution and cause uneven spots.
2. Should I shower right before my spray tan?
It’s best to shower, shave, and exfoliate at least 8–24 hours before your appointment. Showering immediately before can make your skin too slick for the solution to stick evenly.

Avoid deodorant, lotions, oils, perfumes, and makeup when you come in—these can block the spray and create uneven color.
4. Is it normal to feel a little sticky after my spray tan?
Yes! The solution sits on top of your skin while it develops, so you may feel sticky, tacky, or slightly greasy until you rinse.
5. How long do I need to wait before showering?
Most tans require 8 hours before rinsing, but rapid solutions may need only 2–4 hours. Your technician will tell you the exact timing.
6. What should I wear during the spray tan?
Wear whatever you’re comfortable with—a swimsuit, disposable underwear, or nothing. Just remember that whatever you wear will create tan lines.
7. How long will the spray tan last?
A typical spray tan lasts 5–10 days, depending on skin type, aftercare, and how often you moisturize.
8. Can I work out after getting sprayed?
Avoid sweating, working out, or getting wet until your first rinse, or the tan may streak or develop unevenly.

There may be temporary transfer of the bronzer onto clothing or sheets before your first rinse. It usually washes out of most fabrics.
