Preparation Instructions: Spray Tanning with Bronze Palms

Follow these 6 steps below to ensure your spray tan goes on evenly. This plays a major role in making your tan last.

1. Exfoliate at least 24 hours in advance.
The goal is to get all of the dead skin off of your body so your tan does not look blotchy as it fades. Exfoliator mitts (sold inside the salon for your convenience) lather & remove dead skin from the body the best. If you don't have time to come in, try a wash cloth or body scrub while in a bath to remove dead skin cells. If you are booking a same day appointment, exfoliate lightly to avoid irritating the skin.
2. Shave at least 12 hours in advance of your appointment.
You will still be able to shave lightly without shaving cream/gel after your tan. If shave the same day as your appointment, rinse well to remove any residue from the razor.
3. Come with clean skin.
No sweat, deodorant, lotions, oils, sunscreen, makeup
4. Put your hair up so it is off of your neck and face.
5. We provide one-time disposable thongs to wear during your session.
- Most women will wear our disposable thong and go topless, but please wear or bring anything you'd feel most comfortable wearing during your session. Tops are not provided.
- If you have a swimsuit you’d like to wear, please bring it.
- Women may tan nude. Men may not tan nude and are required to bring coverage for their bottoms. Appropriate male spray tan apparel include briefs, boxers, boardshorts or speedos; inappropriate male spray tan apparel include nudity, jock straps, a sock, etc.
6. Bring/wear loose fitting clothes.
The best spray tan uniform includes sweatpants, flip flops, a baggy t shirt, and no bra if you can avoid it. Clothing after your appointment cannot be tight against the skin because it could impede the development of the tan.

NOTE: Spray tanning should be your last appointment. Please plan accordingly to get your waxing, nails, massage, lashes, hair, etc appointment complete the day before your spray tan appointment. 

If it is raining, please wear a long sleeved jacket with a hood, long sweatpants, and closed-toed shoes to keep the rain off of your skin. We walk clients out with umbrellas during this time, as well.
