Airbrush Tanning FAQs
What is airbrush tanning?
Airbrush tanning uses a gentle spray mist with a UV-free sunless tanning solution. The active ingredient is DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a colorless sugar derived from plant sources like sugar beets and sugar cane. This ingredient naturally darkens the skin by interacting with amino acids in dead surface cells.

Is spray tanning safe?
Absolutely! The solution has been approved for external use by the FDA. However, you should avoid getting it in your eyes, mouth, or nose. Our airbrush tanning is completely UV-free, making it a safe alternative to sun exposure or tanning beds.
Will I turn orange?
No! We use professional-grade solutions, and our experienced technicians are trained to choose the ideal intensity for your skin tone. This ensures a natural-looking result.
How should I prepare for my spray tan?
Exfoliate your entire body before your session, but avoid exfoliants containing oils, as they can leave residue. Wax and shave 24 hours before your appointment. If you forget to shave beforehand, wait 24 hours after your tan to shave.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and flip-flops. Avoid tight clothing, bras with underwire, or anything that might rub against your fresh tan.
How long does a spray tan last?
Typically, a spray tan lasts 5-7 days, depending on your skin type, skincare routine, and lifestyle. The tan will fade naturally as your skin cells regenerate.
How long does the tanning session take?
Most sessions take about 15-20 minutes, including prep time and drying.
When will I see results?
Your tan will continue to develop for up to 24 hours after application. You'll see the initial color immediately, but the final result appears within 8-24 hours.
What's the 2-Hour Rinse add-on?
For an additional $9, you can rinse off the cosmetic bronzer after just 2 hours instead of waiting 24 hours. This is perfect if you have evening plans!
How do I maintain my tan?
Don't use body wash during your first rinse and avoid applying moisturizer or other products for 24 hours after getting sprayed. After that, moisturize daily with a tan-extending lotion and avoid harsh exfoliation.
Can I work out after my tan?
Wait at least 8 hours before sweating or getting wet. After your first rinse, you can resume normal activities.
Do you offer unlimited tanning packages?
Yes! We offer unlimited memberships for all our tanning levels, ensuring you can maintain that sun-kissed glow all year round.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
What is LED teeth whitening?
We use Bleach Bright LED technology, which combines professional-grade whitening gel with LED light activation to safely and effectively whiten teeth.
How does LED teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening products contain bleaches (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) that break stains into smaller pieces, making your teeth brighter. The LED light helps activate the gel for faster, more effective results.
Is LED teeth whitening safe?
Yes, BleachBright gels do not damage enamel and only bleach the color of the dentin. However, individuals with tooth decay or other damage should avoid any teeth whitening treatments until they seek professional dental assistance.
How long does a teeth whitening session take?
A typical session takes about 60 minutes.
How many shades whiter will my teeth get?
Results vary by individual, but most clients see an improvement of 2-8 shades in a single session.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Results typically last 6 months to 2 years, depending on your diet, lifestyle habits, and oral hygiene routine.
What are your teeth whitening prices?
Single Session: $139
3 Session Package: $239
NEW Monthly Membership: $49/month (includes 1 session; additional sessions are $25 each)
Will my teeth be sensitive after whitening?
Some people experience temporary sensitivity, which usually subsides within 24-48 hours. We can provide desensitizing gel if needed.
Can I eat and drink normally after whitening?
For the first 48 hours, avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, berries, and tomato sauce. Stick to "white foods" for the best results.
Who should avoid teeth whitening?
Pregnant or nursing women, people with tooth decay, gum disease, or extreme sensitivity should consult with a dentist before undergoing whitening treatments.
