What are your operating hours?
Our mobile service is very flexible. We can normally tan any time of the day including evening or late nights and early mornings. Please contact us to check our availability.

What is in the Tanning Solution ?
The active ingredient is dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which is a colourless sugar that interacts with dead cells in the outer layers of the skin. As the sugar interacts, a colour change occurs in the skin normally lasting 5-7 days. Our tanning solutions are made in Australia using the highest grade DHA available and are nfused with aloe Vera and green tea extract, both amazing nutrients for the skin.

How does your Unisex Srpay Tanning Appointment Work ?
For first time bookings, a full colour consultation will ensure you get the desired results from your Spray Tan. Our tanning technicians bring with them everything required including a pop up booth enabling tanning to be completed in any room. Your tanning solution will then be applied and completed in 10-15 minutes. To complete, you will be dried with our tanning machine and minor touch-ups are normally hand-brushed for a perfect finish.

How long does a Spray Tan normally last ?
As your body exfoliates naturally, your tan should fade like a normal tan. As each person’s skin is unique length of tan will vary between 5-7 days with correct maintenance. To remove the rest of the tan simply exfoliate and you'll be ready again for a new tanning session.
How can I prepare for my Tan Session ?
It is strongly advised to shower and exfoliate your skin prior to any tanning session. Ensure your skin is free of any moisturisers, deodorants, perfumes, oils, lotions or products that create a ‘barrier’ around the skin leading to inconsistent tanning results.

What should I wear for the Tanning Session ?
This is up to each individual and depends on the desired tanning results. We do provide disposable a G String for clients however it is advised to wear loose light clothing after your tanning session as full development of the product will take up to 8 hours and tight clothing may affect the final result of your Spray Tan.
^ top
How long should I wait before showering ?
As the DHA interacts with your dead skin cells, colour change will continue anywhere up to 8 hours even with ou rlatest 2 Hour Tan products. To give your tan enough time to fully develop, we recommended waiting a minimum of 8 hours. Please note that showering too soon can decrease the depth of your tan.
Will it wash off?
No! The DHA in the Tanning Solution is what produces a tan in your skin. The DHA is not permanent, so it will fade just like a natural suntan would. Your tan - if maintained - will normally last 5-7 days..

Does swimming affect my new tan?
If you need to go swimming, we suggest limiting time in the water and thoroughly rinsing yourself in fresh water afterwards. Swimming Pools and salt water will certainly prematurley fade your tan and could also cause undesirable effects such as streaking.
^ top
Are there any harmful effects with DHA ?
All products we use are organically based to ensure a safe and healthy tan. Dermatologists would generally agree that self or sunless tanning with DHA formula is safer than tanning in the sun.
^ top
I’m Pregnant - is it OK to get a spray-tan ?
The main ingredient that produces your tan is DHA is made from sugar cane, and has no known harmful effects. There are no tests to prove that spray tanning during pregnancy can be harmful to mother or baby. If you are unsure about spray-tanning you should always first consult with your own doctor/physician.
^ top
Does the Tanning Solution Stain Clothing ?
No! While you might see some transfer of the tanning solution to clothing, since the colour pigment is actually organic, it should not permanently stain fabrics.
^ top
Does the Tanning Solution provide any SPF Protection ?
While our mobile spray tanning service will certainly give you a natural looking tan, DHA and the solutions used do NOT include any protection from the effects of the sun. For this reason we highly recommend using a daily SPF sunscreen to protect your skin.
