Airbrush Tanning by Talisa

Airbrush Tanning is superior to all other tanning methods. An airbrush technician will be applying the airbrush. You will not be in a tanning bed or booth. You will stand in a pop up style tent where the airbrush technician will walk you through a series of positions to make sure they spray every spot on your body. You will not put on any barrier creams or lotions because the application method I use is flawless.
The solution I use is perfected and amazing. The colors are designed to give the most natural looking airbrush. You will not look orange. The solution I use also contains many vitamins such as A, C, and D and holds components such as firmadirm and caffeine to tighten and energize your skin. The solution is made for sensitive skin so you will not break out! It actually will help with any acne you already have.
Your airbrush tan will last anywhere from 7-14 days, but on average they last 10 days. The tan resides in your outer layer of skin so the more your skin exfoliates the faster it wears off. Activities such as showering, swimming, exercising and of course exfoliating makes your tan wear off faster. I sell products that help prolong the life of your tan and if you follow all the pre and post care information provided below you will be left with the absolute best tan possible.

Absolutely not! I will consult with each client to determine what blend of solution is best for your skin tone to produce a healthy sun kissed glow.

It’s important to be prepared for your airbrush tan. The main reason being, the more prepared you are the longer and more beautiful your tan will be.

Before your appointment-
EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE! Best to exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment so that you can have a fresh layer of skin for your appointment. Try using a scrub(oil free), a new clean loofah, exfoliating gloves/mitt, or dry brush but please don’t injure your skin by over doing it. Having dry flaky skin could cause your tan to crackle, not last as long, and fade unevenly.
Shaving and Waxing- DO NOT shave or wax right before your appointment. You can wax up to 48 hours before your appointment but not any sooner. You can shave up to 24 hours before your appointment. You can do these sooner than the recommended time but there is a risk that the solution will set in your pores and make them stand out. If you schedule your appointment spur of the moment but haven’t shaved or exfoliated, do so if you wish but make sure to close your pores with cold water.
Manicure & Pedicure- These should be done a few days before coming for an airbrush tan. Getting these services done after a tan can ruin your airbrush tan.
Lash Extensions- It is best to receive your airbrush tan before getting your lash extensions filled but you can also get a tan after as long as your lash glue has dried(to be safe wait 24 hours).

NO LOTION! Do not put lotion on before your tan or wear lotion the day of your appointment. This will be a barrier and make it so your skin will not be able to absorb the airbrush spray correctly.
Do Not- Come to your appointment with makeup on, sweaty after the gym, and do not wear deodorant.
Make sure to bring dark loose clothing to your appointment and start drinking lots of water to keep you skin hydrated!

The tanning solution I use washes out of clothing so you can wear as much clothing or as little as you would like. Remember the more clothing the more line you will have.
Example of what to wear- bra/panties, swimsuit, tank top/shorts, or nude.
The most important thing is that you do what you feel comfortable with. This is a professional service- the focus is on the application of the tan, flow of the solution, and even lines.
Make sure to bring a set of dark loose fitting clothing for after your appointment to prevent any removal of the solution. If it is raining or snowing please bring clothes and gear that will protect you from getting wet.

***If you are under 18 years old you must wear some sort of bottoms and may go topless with parents permission and have a parent or guardian sign a consent form!
***I have a swim trunks policy for male clients. Men must wear bottoms. The most important thing is that you do what you feel comfortable with. This is a professional service- the focus is on the application of the tan, flow of the solution, and even lines.

You can plan on 20 – 30 minutes for your service. After explaining to your Tan Tech the color you are looking for, you will undress to your comfort level. We will walk you through and show you a series of positions to enable you to receive an even, thorough application.

Please bring loose dark clothing to wear after your appointment since the color can rub off inside your clothes while it is setting. Don’t wear tight jeans/pants; they absorb the product from the skin. You should not wear nylon, silk or wool after receiving your application solution washes out of most everything else. After your tan, don’t worry if you see any of the surface color fade from your body (this is from your clothing rubbing against your skin but once you take your shower, it will even out). The cosmetic bronzer is water-soluble so in most cases it will come off in the wash.

I offer rapid solutions meaning you need wait 3 hours to rinse it off and it will darken over then next 12-24 hours and an 8 hour solution meaning you need to wait at least 8 hours to rinse it off. Please no sweating, going to the gym, doing the dishes, playing in the rain, crying while the cosmetic bronzer is on your skin. These hours are super important in the process of developing your tan. Anything less and you will have a lighter tan and may result in an uneven tan.
When you rinse the cosmetic bronzer off make sure it is a quick luke warm and you will see the solution washing off, this is not your tan falling off, this is just the surface bronzer color that was applied. Make sure you wash this completely off with your hands- do not use a loofa, beaded body wash, soap, a towel- because using just the water pressure to get the bronzer off can make it too streaky so please use your hand to rub it off too.
After your tan has fully processed you may take a quick, warm shower with soap(avoid Dove products. Soaps to use are Aveeno Active Natural Body Wash, Puracy Natural Body Wash, Cetaphil Daily Refreshing Body Wash, and Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Body Wash); avoid long, hot baths. When you get out of the shower pat dry, do not rub dry- this will just help prevent rubbing off your tan on accident. Try to shave minimally with your tan, shaving is a type of exfoliation and you don’t want to make your tan fade quicker with unnecessary shaving.
To prolong the life of your tan, LOTION, LOTION, LOTION! This is one of the most important steps to keep your color from fading. Dry, flaky skin will slough off faster and color will fade faster and less evenly. Try to lotion at least three times a day for the first few days than go down to twice a day. My personal rule of thumb is to apply lotion any time you go to the restroom. Hydrated skin helps your tan from fading splotchy and makes it last longer. Stay away from lotions with strong smells, these typically contain alcohol, which dry out your tan and cause it to fade and crackle. I recommend Jergens Natural Shea butter, Aveeno, Cetaphil, and Cerave.

I accept cash, venmo, or major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, & Discover)

I offer free airbrush tans to people who host an open house party. These parties are much simpler than you may think. Unlike typical parties where one may have to entertain a group for hours, these are open houses where guests have appointment times and are usually occupied with being tanned while visiting. Simple refreshment such as water is all that may be needed. A minimum of 5 guests is required. Hosts can also obtain free product. Please contact me if you are interested in hosting a party.
